2018.08.16 – Lechon again

Before we talk about lechon, I have a question. Does the word business come from the state of being busy (e.g., busy-ness)? It has been a very busy week at work for me, but I don’t really feel tired or stressed. It’s the good kind of hustle that I have been missing coming from a […]

Keto Bread (Attempt 1)

Three months into the Keto Way of Eating (WOE) and I thought that it’s about time that I start expanding my menu. I saw a video on Facebook about creating Keto bread so I decided to give it a try. Ingredients The ingredients are simple: 7 medium sized eggs 1/2 cup butter (melted) 2 tbsp. […]

Week 2: Weight Loss not much

Coming from an almost 10-lb weight loss on the first week, my second week of doing Keto showed underwhelming results. I only managed to lose 1.7 lbs, after hoping for another miracle week. This made me decide to stop taking my weight measurement on a weekly basis, rather, just get my measurements monthly instead. What […]

Day 7: Keto Week 1 Done!

HURRAY! I made it through supposedly the worst week of Keto – the first one! I normally work from home on Mondays, so here’s a rundown of my meals for the day: Breakfast and no Lunch For breakfast, my brother cooked Delimondo Ranch Style Corned Beef and sunny side up eggs. I don’t think I’ll […]

Day 3: Bad Breath, Good Sign

How do you know when your Keto diet is working? According to a post from healthline.com, there are at least 10 common symptoms, both positive and negative, that will signify Ketosis. I’m just on my third day but I can already relate to some of these. As early as the 2nd day, I have already […]

Day 2: Keto and MyFitnessPal

Some people think that with Keto, as long as you avoid carbs and sweets, you can eat as much as you want. If you’re really after losing weight, I don’t think that will help. Depending on your goal, you need to adjust the total calories you take in daily. There’s a Keto calculator which I […]

Day 1: Easing into Keto

So, Day 1 started with me taking my baseline weight measurement. I’m starting at 80.3 kg (177 lbs), which is within my average for the past year (I fluctuate from 170-179 lbs). My goal is to bring my weight down to my ideal weight of around 130 lbs (for my height) – and that’s a […]

Day 0: Starting Keto

One of my goals this year is to lose weight and improve my overall health. There are many ways to do this – but I’ve always had difficulty in sustaining diets or exercise. Enter Keto. A friend introduced me to Keto (short for Ketogenic) over lunch (we had eat-all-you-can samgyeopsal) and she managed to convince […]

Get drunk at Crying Tiger for Crying Out Loud

It’s my first day of following the daily themes I’ve set for myself.  So, even if I’m quite drunk and that it’s quite late (it’s already Saturday early morning, to be exact), I am forcing myself to write this post so that I don’t feel like such a loser on my first day. Crying Tiger. […]

Crepe Amelie

I’m not a big fan of desserts, so when I stumbled upon Crepe Amelie’s Dulce de Leche, it felt like love at first sight (or taste, rather). Just cutting through this masterpiece, cream oozing out of each layer of crepe – looks and feels so good. And the moment you take a bite – bursts […]
