Low-Carb Meals

For people who don’t know me well, they think that I starve myself so that I look gaunt. There are some elderly relatives who always think that I don’t eat any food so that I look stick thin. So each time we meet up, they will comment about my weight and lecture me, duh 🙄 But I don’t do that, nor do I have bulimia. I eat almost everything that I crave but in moderate amounts. Plus I have good genes 😁 as both my parents are thin. My mum is super skinny as she has an ultra small tummy and is a small eater. However, she eats many meals a day and 99% of her meals are homecooked, nutritious and wholesome. So I think I have inherited her DNA as I’m also a very, very small eater but need to eat several small meals a day. Gone are the days when I could stuff myself at buffets till I felt like puking 🤢 😆. We hardly go for hotel buffets now as both hubs and I can’t gobble down so much food like how we used to two decades ago.

But I do miss having our weekly Sunday Japanese buffet lunch at Sheraton Subang and PJ Hilton when Alycia and Sherilyn were toddlers.

I don’t starve myself but I go for low-carb meals. But there are still people who think that low-carb meals are bad and insist that I eat rice and carbs as rice is a miracle, cure-all food 🤣. Anyway it’s my body and I do what’s best for myself. These people don’t know that I battled PCOS (an insulin disorder) for years yonks ago. And PCOS caused infertility and that was another battle that I had to go through. And they don’t know that my late maternal granny had diabetes, thus I have to watch my intake of carbs and sugar as diabetes is hereditary.

Anyway, I’ll do me 😀.

These are some of my low-carb meals. Nothing fancy schmancy but delish. Portion control is key in reducing / maintaining your weight.

Pork and fish soup with poached egg and raw kale, topped with lots of aromatic fried crispy garlic. Hubs bought pork & fish noodles for us and I omitted the noodles.
So yummeh.
Low carb pancakes. Cass blended organic oats into oat flour and made a stack of these yummeh and low-carb pancakes. That stingy girl only gave me two pieces and that’s big deal already 🙄
Pork and soup (sans the noodles) with raw alfalfa and onion sprouts.
Substituted noodles with raw sprouts. You should try this, it’s very yummeh.
Air-fried pollock on a bed of blanched spinach.
Ba kut teh with raw baby spinach and a hardboiled egg.
Ba kut teh with raw alfalfa sprouts.
Curry konjac noodles with foo pei, tofu fish balls, egg and broccoli.
While everyone had banana leave rice at Kanna Curry House, PJ on Merdeka Day, I omitted the rice and only ate the delicious curry veggies, fried fish, chicken curry and mutton curry.
Chinese cabbage soup with poached egg. Soup is made using dashi stock, boiled for 10 minutes. I made a big pot and chomped down everything by myself. I had this after Malaysia Day as I had an eating marathon with hubs at Pavillion Bukit Jalil on Malaysia Day and needed something clean and light the next day. The soup is oil-free.
