What I am having in mind is less meat and eat more vegetables instead, no more fried chicken, pork chop or something that is meat, meaty and more meat.
This is the time to change my eating habits, eat more organic vege instead. How does that sound? Lousy, right? Well, lets wait and see whether I can keep my word or not...
So for this post, no meat, see? All flour and totally vegetarian... indian breakfast...
masala tosai
there is something special inside...
there is something special inside...

and lastly...

Claire...eat more veggies is good ah. I was practically a carnivore when i stayed with my parents. The only green veggy that I take is just lettuce back then. I don't like veggies wan, cuz taste bitter!
ReplyDeleteYou know... i respect those people who swore off to eat meat. But sometimes, these kind of ppl too HOLEY that they goes to the extreme in promoting 'that way of life'. Beh tahan!
cleffairy, eating vege is holey? i think i eat less meat la.. if no meat, also cannot.. eat less meat but more vege.. if possible, organic one but i wonder whether they r really organic or not...
ReplyDeletejust less meat, not no meat i think, for people like us, at least for a start. ;P

ReplyDeleteHmm, vegies are good too no fats.Good for the health. But I guess you are going to miss eating meat hehe.
ReplyDeleteI like both meat and vegies. I get hungry when I read your post :)
Happy Sunday to you claire.
Hi Claire
ReplyDeleteA healthy meal doesn't mean you must be a vegetarian for a few months. Reduce red meat intake, so take more fish, more green and red vegetables. Of course, Indian food like tosai and dhall are good for health too.
In short, eat a normal meal. :)
You know... this entry makes me hungry ahh... the more I come back here, the more I feel like going to mamak. Whahahaha... and I just make my hubby promise me to teman me to go tapao at mamak later! Woots! lemme see... see menu over here den go order over there...
ReplyDeleteWhat shud i have ahh? Roti canai? Chapati? Roti tissue? Hmmmmmm!
aiyoh...u really got discipline ler....eat without the kuah...where got nice ler...must dip with kari kambing ler!
ReplyDeleteI guess it's easier to go meatless if there's vegetarian indian food around....so full of flavour. YuM!
ReplyDeleteHave a great week ahead! ^_^
+Ant+
The chef got partime work as Darlie model ar? :p
ReplyDeleteThen the place you'll be heading to on the 10th will definitely be healthy for you. Few days there and you'll be complaining your tastebud so dull dy I guarantee you :) Go slow on their teppanyaki though.. :P
ReplyDeletenot just healthy meals but balanced meals..is important..
ReplyDeleteSounds as if you are on the right track to eating more healthy. I have also tried to eat less meat, eat more fish and chicken as well as vegetables. Good luck with your new "menu"!
ReplyDeleteHehehe, happy chef.
ReplyDeleteI also want to eat less meat but very tough.......hahaha!
ReplyDeleteGood luck with your new way of eating.
ReplyDeleteeat more salads.....good for you...hahahaha i love capati...
ReplyDeletehehehe... nice breakfast there.. it's ok for a few pieces of meat de la, just not all meat but no veg.. :D Take care..
ReplyDeletei dont think its healthy wor cos the OIL they use..........
ReplyDeleteDon't be deceived by vegetarian shops, I don't see healthy cooking and in fact more fattening but wvege can be healthy they way you want it. Some veges are nice, steamed, just like cauliflowers, brocolli, french beans, ladies fingers. I guess we need to eat healthily to live healthily.
ReplyDeletegood to eat more vege and better if you cook them yourself. yeah..i agree with Elaine. Vegetarian shops are pretty unhealthy as they use loads of oil to cook the food.
ReplyDeletegood to eat vegetarian but those u consumed are still fat. Go for chinese vegetarian instead with less oil
ReplyDeletecleffairy: take yr time, i can always put my face nearer to the pc..hehehee..
ReplyDeletewengs: so far, so good.. this morning ate a bit of meat already.. i think cannot resist long..
kev: thanks. will eat a balanced meal with more vege than meat..
cleffairy: anything but roti canai..that is real fattening la.. but for your size, boleh la.. u look slim!
via: eh, can dip dip into the ikan curry.. but of course no ikan one la. just the liquid..
gratitude: hey, not just indian food, i think i will try to eat more vege than meat, i love fish anyway..
ReplyDeletesmallkucing: all u see was his teeth?? tsk..tsk.. hahahhaa.. i purposely put him there, handsem hor?
merryn: thanks for the tips, i dont like sushi actually, gues i can reduce some weight, hor? hahaha.. just wait and see, i come back small size like u!
wenn: yes, homecooked food is more healthy, we can choose what we like..
cheryl: hope my determination will not sway away..hahaha..
sjb: handsome too! hahaha..
rose: beginning will be tough, but do take a bit la.. if not a lot!
patty: hope i can achieve it!
manglish: i dont like salads but dont mind eating boiled vege..
cynthia: right, less meat only.. not the big big chunks one, i see also scared nowadays...
ReplyDeleteelaine: yes, u r right there, they use lots of oil to fry the stuff, i prefer those boiled ones, i think i do myself during the evenings, boiled cauliflowers, brocolli.. sawi.. siew pak choy...
barb: like i said, do ownself better.. but u know what? this morning i ate wan tan hor already.. so delicous but i dint eat the chunks of meat..
chrisau: chinese dishes also lots of oil.. broiled one better.. yo, at my age, kena take care liow..
The food looks so delicious, healthy and satisfying!

ReplyDeleteHere, very few Indians so we only have ONE shop selling - or at least, that's the only one that I know of. Dunno the names of all those dips that come with the thosai, chapatti...

ReplyDeleteEugene: makes me feel so old calling me that.. why not call me si mui.. we go find another sifu la..
stp: i was thinking.. ehhh... how come stp posted the same category one.. hahaha.. such coincidence, so far and yet we think of the same subject.. is it that wise people (men) think alike?
hahaa...wow...quite healthy...but won't feel hungry after that? hehe...
ReplyDeletegab..that one was for breakfast only.. lunch sure got one.. :)
ReplyDeletedon't totally cut off meat, afterall we still need the vitamins given by the meats that vege don't provide.
ReplyDeleteexercising, drinking more water, eating more fruits and vege should keep you at a balanced diet :).
I had roti canai cheese last nite. Oily, crunchy and gooey. Thank God I almost never get pimples after giving birth to my son. I suppose those hormones rocks my world! LOL...neway, my husband was wondering why suddenly wanna eat roti canai... so I pointed here... Mama Claire punya pasal! LMAO!
ReplyDeleteDont you wanna try acupuncture? I did before when I have back and neck pain. Effective...hope u r ok by now dear...
