I
received some alarming news from my regular physician today. Due to the gain in
weight came the inevitable rise in blood sugar levels. I was given clear and
explicit orders: lose the weight or gain a disease. No brainer, right? Easier
said than done.
Among other things, the doctor suggested that I had to
curb the intake of carbohydrates (which he said included rice, noodles, bread
and stuff… sob!). So in other words, henceforth I had to embark on a low-carb
diet. What becomes of this blog then? Well, for one thing I don’t think I’ll be
falling out of love with food anytime soon, so apart from a change in eating
habits (from a bowl of rice to three spoonfuls as the doctor prescribed) this
blog should live on.
If anything, in the future we could try sampling food
that is both healthy AND cheap. And oh, here's the kicker: the doctor said that despite my alarming weight he was against any drastic weight loss regime (diet pills definite no-no!). Given my present Hypothyroid condition it would be wise for my to gradually loose the weight. So the plan is, besides a low-carb diet I'll be brisk walking/light jogging at least 2 kilometres a day every day in hopes of losing 2 kilograms a month. Fingers crossed, here goes…
