I have cheat days over the weekends. But on weekdays, I try to stick to low-carb meals as best as I can.
I love breads but because they’re high in carbs, I eat half a slice (if thick) or a slice (if thin) and spread it with nuts or seeds spread like peanut butter, almond butter or black sesame paste. I always eat my carbs together with protein and fats to minimize blood-sugar spikes. Foods high in protein and fats help slow down the digestion of glucose, which helps stabilize blood sugar.
Having at least a serving of green veggies every day is a must. For convenience, I like buying ready-to-eat salads that are triple-washed. Though expensive, but I save on water and time. Thankfully our girls love raw salads too, especially Cass, who’s a health and fitness freak just like her mom. We add proteins and healthy fats such as avocado, eggs, cheese and nuts into our salads.
For meats, I love lean char siu, roast chicken breast, steamed kampung chicken, pork chops (my weakness) and fried fish (another kryptonite of mine!).
My kind of ideal meal would be a poke bowl composed of grilled fish or chicken breast, caulirice and loads of nuts, seeds, onions, garlic, seaweed and veggies. Cass is just like me and she loves poke bowl. Today I ordered Fish Bowl from Gardens Malls via Grab Food for lunch. Cass and I shared the bowl, with toppings of grilled miso salmon, seaweed salad, corns, wakame, seeds, nuts and loads of veggies. I had the rice replaced with caulirice.
