where i look for food advice


When I was younger I liked GQ more than Vogue or Seventeen or the crap of all craps, Hello magazine, which I found were often full of useless stuff like make up and clothes and gossip. GQ wrote about the finer things in life-- money, travel and fitness-- AND still featured boys on the cover!

First impressions do go a long way, and to this day I still read men's publications more than women's. Case in point-- best food advice I got recently:

The best diet for me is food combining, which has two basic rules:
1. eat fruits on an empty stomach
2. don't mix your proteins with your starches

I bought a book about it, which I've since lost, but the basic point is to help your body digest food properly by not mixing food that have different digestion processes. This means no rice with meat, no bread with cheese (byebye pizza! booooo). Desserts don't fall under either category (protein or starch), but the idea is that the cravings will go away anyway. I got to follow it for a good three months before I caved in to my first love-- chocolates.

I still try to eat healthy food-- no fastfood, no fried food, plenty fresh fruits and veggies, proper food combining as much as possible, but at the end of the day, I just eat what I want. :)

ON MEAT: I'm not a meat person (I'd rather eat chocolate than meat),
but some of my favorite meals do have meat.

ON VEGGIES: Veggies are my ultimate favorite, not just because they're healthy, but because I really like how they taste.

ON DESSERT:
I'm still on a quest for a "healthy" dessert I can eat everyday (or, at the very least, offer to my parents), but I don't think anything can ever keep me away from chocolates.
