Let’s Eat Low Carbs Food

Here are some quick tips for your next meal and this is what I do every day. If you are one of those bulging bellies but not pregnant? Maybe you too need to check on low carbs food.

Why should we choose to eat low carbs food?

Base on myself, I have asymptomatic up blood pressure.

Eating high carbs food makes my blood pressure up and can make me feel bloated too. An example of this is eating white rice. But if I eat brown rice and boiled banana, I feel normal. Do you have a similar case to share?

Also, seems my tummy looks bulgy like pregnant, this is why I choose the low carbs food.

Most of all, I choose low carbs food because I want to keep my weight, a flatter tummy that I can wear a nice fitting dress to look and feel sexy. Because to me, I only live once and I have to make the best of my life. Wouldn’t you?

My approach to Low Carbs food is simple and it is about the right choice of food intake into our day-to-day life.

These meals are only some of what I could think of today. I will be actively writing about some samples of low carbs diet to give you some motivation. (please follow me)

I came from a background of a family that plants rice. I am a Filipina. In my country, we cannot survive in a day not eating white rice. Rice is the main meal you see on every Filipino plate, maybe not anymore today.

In my own description about low carbs diet is staying away from bad carbs. To me, an example of bad carbs is sugary food and white rice, and of course a lot of other stuff.

Let’s go back to the old days.

Back in my teens, in the Philippines, there were no McDonalds, Burger King, KFC, and a lot more Fast food chains. Many Filipino women were so slim and fit. We do not eat fried stuff because we do not know all this food.

When fast-food chains like Mcdonald's came to the Philippines, most Filipino women became fat. Do you think we shall blame these companies?

Maybe blame ourselves. Every food we intake and every action we do is because we do not have disciplines. Of course, when it is new to us, we like to try until we cannot escape from it.

I am not sure if this is a cheap version kind of food in many developing countries like the Philippines. Maybe to others who do not want to have the time to prepare food of their own as they do not have time to buy and cook at home.

However, there are ways in choosing the right food. If you choose the low carbs diet, you can be in better shape.

Let me introduce you to some Food Ideas which make me feel great and not guilty after eating them. Somehow my low carbs diet and not so low carbs.

The Kikiriki Salad

Have you heard of this kikiriki salad? Quick, fast, simple, easy to do.

Made of chicken fillet or chicken breast. Buy a very good curry powder.

Seasoned the slice chicken fillet with curry powder, salt, and pepper to taste, olive or virgin coconut oil. Blend it well.

Heat up a pan with a drop of oil on it, add your chicken fillet. Cook well in about 3 to 5 minutes. Add your favorite salads and you are so done.

If you are a vegetarian, remove the chicken and use tofu instead. It is the same process as tofu.

Just in case you are allergy to curry powder. Just be aware.

One of my favorite meals to buy at the Hawker Stall in Singapore but I often cook this at home too when I have more people in the house.

In Singapore, many food chains sell healthier options. It is also very much affordable. Such as the one presented above. Grill fish and steamed brown rice are available in Hawker stalls around Singapore. Basically, you can prepare this at home.

Quick tips for the grilled fish:

Seasoned the fish with lemon juice, ginger juice, salt, and pepper and put it to a heated fat pan over the cooking range, you can achieve the same result.

Quick tip for the whole grain Wild rice

Buy it at the grocery store. Measure one cup of rice to 1.5 cups of water when cooking.

Before that, boil some water, place the rice on a bowl and pour in hot water, and let it stand for 5 to 10 minutes if you do not have 30 minutes. Rinse and it is ready to cook.

Bring to boil 1.5 cups of water, add a little olive oil if you like. The rice is cook for about 8 to 15 minutes depending on the heat.

The problem of white rice today is mostly synthetic. There was even gossip that white rice can be made out of plastic. (I hope this is just gossip).

Be aware, some people are allergic to wild brown rice.

The ladyfingers or Okra

Steamed ladyfingers or Okra are so good to serve as a natural lubricant in our joint. “Lubricant” can be argued. That depends right. If I have access to it, I will have this as a meal. It makes you so full by just eating it on its own.

At home, I cook it by just placing it into hot boiling water and remove it in 2 minutes as it will get soggy if it is longer and the slimy look will drip out. “Slimy looking vegetable when overcooking but not a problem. That is the best part of it.

Beware of the side effects when eating too much ladyfinger or okra.

According to the expert, eating too much can cause diarrhea. It contains “fructans” which is making us full when eating it on its own. Fructan is a kind of carbohydrate.

Chicken salad

Forget the beer in the background and focus on the chicken salad. As an example, your choice of eating out can be healthier too. Such as ordering a meal of low carbs such as the chicken salad with just a slice of the breast, lettuce, and some fruits which contain carbs.

Conclusions:

There is no need to add bread, rice to fill up our every meal. There are varieties of food to choose from.
