As I confessed a while ago, there are some foods whose ingredient lists go right above my head. What I don’t know can’t hurt, right? RIGHT?! Glad we’re on the same page :D! Another one to add to the list is cookie dough. Who cares if it contains margarine? Who cares if eating it raw …
As much as I’m all about healthy eating and stick to ‘real’ foods, I still do hold a soft spot for certain processed foods. These are the foods which I choose to conveniently ignore the nutrition labels. What can I say, ignorance truly is bliss 😉 : Oreos M&M’s (yes I have noticed that whenever …
My cousin asked me the other day if I know how I would like my wedding to be. Er no. He was slightly surprised that I didn’t comply with the stereotype ‘I’m a girl so that means my wedding has been mapped out in my head since I was born’. For those that DO already …
Funny story: for a while during my weight loss, I limited myself to only a couple of bananas per week. One week on Weight Watchers, I gained weight despite sticking to the plan down to a T and my ‘genius’ of a leader suggested it was due to eating too many bananas (seriously??😯 ). Clearly …

Favourite meal of the day? Without a question, breakfast wins every time. If anything, it’s an excuse to eat sweet carbs guilt-free ;)! Although I’ve never been one for eggs/savoury in the morning, I’ll happily make a lunch or dinner out of it. But even after eliminating the savoury options, healthy breakfast choices are endless: …
Ever heard the expression “Starve a cold, feed a fever?” I can’t vouch for the starving part but I sure am following the latter bit. I don’t know about you but for me, falling sick is like being in London during the winter: cravings for high-fat, stodgy foods are in full throttle. Since falling ill, …
So the other day, I was out for dinner and ordered an asparagus salad. Anticipating something both visually pleasing and delicious, I was served …drumrroll please…a bowl of iceberg lettuce and asparagus. I ate it nonetheless (gotta get those greens in ;)) but it was pretty pathetic. Even a few cucumbers here and a bit …
