Happy Pie

Cross-section of my juicy English Pie

I baked an English Pie for my family using my owe modified recipe for the first timeJ

Hot from the oven!

Can you imagine my excitement? Instead of giving them a surprise, I told them of my plan. I am so glad I did. All of them join in the excitement. I’m fixing their favorite food and the stress which arises from their eager anticipation became my major motivating factor. Who says English Pie made of potato, beef and cheese is a sinful dish? As least it makes my people very happy. Just substitute with healthier ingredients and the health factor shoots right up. Its really hard to get fat when you are sharing a pieJ

To me, good taste is a big health factor and the warmth of sharing good food together with your love ones is a big health bonus. Yes, the English Pie was a big successJ YUM!

Kachang Putei Treat

The Kachang Putei man checking the hot steaming chick-peas

I have a client who loves chick-peas. She rated highly on the “Vāta Dosha” body type who reacts adversely to legumes. In order to lose weight, she force herself to eat a mostly vegetarian diet which lots of beans and white rice to obtain her complete protein. She was always tired. Her stubborn discipline was rewarded with an almost too thin figure, but a ballooned tummy due to bloating. The discomfort and pain arising from her body aches are also too much for her to bear. “It’s so unfair! Why can’t I have beans just like everyone else?” she protested.

“There is a different plan for everyone dear. That is why you are so unique.” I told her.

She finally realizes that there are better food out there for her. Now she is enjoying a wide variety of food and is very happy with her figure and improved health. She still has her occasional chick-peas treats from the Kachang Putei man without complain now. The pain is good for her.  

Food Choices

I am not going to tell you what and how our ancestors eat. I know you don’t like to hear that. We are no longer living back then and most of their wisdoms will be fall into deaf ears by us high-tech new generation... In fact, I strongly believe that our ancestor will choose to eat the same food as you and me enjoy if they have a choice. Who can resist good food…especially in Singapore;-) Being force to live in simplicity is actually a blessing to their health.

We are spoilt by choices. Hope our body enjoys the food as much as our mouth.

Have a good lunchJ

Hi, I Am Your "Rebellious" Nutritionist

I do love good food and who doesn’t? If you are a Singaporean, you know what I mean. I am not less “rebellious” as many cool people out there so flexibility, even in healthy eating and meal planning, is my belief. I am not a vegetarian but I can choose to eat like one and be the best model to all. The key sentence is “make a choice and be a responsible human” to yourself and your love ones.

Everything happens for a purpose. Health has been the original plan, something that everyone should be thankful about but, has always been taken for granted. Illnesses most often serve as an alarm bell to wake us up from our recklessness…

Choose to do the right thing and the things right for your health. You should be thankful as it’s never too late to start.
