These days, I have very light meals – light in meat and light in portion. 80% composes of greens / fiber and 20% meat or eggs.
This is my breakfast this morning – a bowl of pork soup from the pork noodles stall with lots of bitter gourd and a little minced pork sans the noodles and egg. This is an ideal low carb + high protein + high fiber meal.
Bitter gourd is used to treat various stomach and intestinal disorders including gastrointestinal (GI) upset, ulcers, colitis, constipation, and intestinal worms. It is also used  for diabetes, to lower cholesterol, kidney stones, fever, a skin condition called psoriasis, liver disease and to start menstruation.
Below – my dinner yesterday was a bowl of anchovies soup with organic veggie (home grown), egg drop and several tablespoons of organic oats.  Everyone else ate roast duck.  Thankfully I do not fancy duck 😀  Duck is high in fat and cholesterol.
You should try to go meatless once or twice a week. Going meatless several times in a week may reduce your risk of chronic preventable conditions like cancer, cardiovascular disease, diabetes and obesity. It can also help reduce your carbon footprint and save precious resources like fresh water and fossil fuel.  And you may live longer too if you reduce your meat consumption 😉

Bitter gourd is my favourite, my kids do not like them so I hardly cook it at home.
Hi Agnes, my kids don’t like bitter gourd too. Cass only likes bitter gourd when cooked with minced pork, from our favorite pork noodle stall. But we (the mil and I) are still serving bitter gourd to them as it’s seriously good stuff. One day, they’ll learn to love and appreciate bitter gourd! 😀
