Tips to restart Diet & Workout after 6 months of hiatus

Sweet fruits are great ! They count as carbs >>> end of the meal , and they make great deserts !
Do you like frozen fruits ? I love eating frozen bits of mango or banana for desert, or frozen grapes! I buy them when they are in season i think they taste way better than fruit sorbet :-oo i truly love eating fruits and frozen fruits just as much, for variety ! Do you eat frozen fruits ? Which ones ?

Tomatoes / cherry tomatoes and cucumber also make a great meal starter. So juicy! _ easy to grab _ (don't forget the salt) _
xx we can talk more about meal starters later xxx
It can be also that your taste buds need a little time to '' come back '' coz it's totally true than taste buds can be saturated with sugar, that and in that case they won't find other foods that atttactive! I mean it doesn't necessarily means you will never enjoy snacking on raw stems and leaves ;-pp _ PS : i enjoy cucumber juice with tiny pinch of salt or sugar ;-) that's an asian thing to put sugar in cucumber juice, i love it! _ it also count as meal stater.

hey there ! thinking about you ! I totally get what you are saying, i am a woman too and i have experienced bad period days all my life, usually on the first 2 days you can find me in bed :-D _ i have been rolling my eyes everytime I see TV ads for menstruation pads or tampons where the woman is rollerskating looking so free and relaxed, or goes to the swimming pool with a huge smile on her face, it's amazing that they like to picture a woman having a blast while on her periods, "thanks to miracle menstruation pads", she is so energetic that she goes shopping all afternoon with her friends and then she even goes dancing at the club :-D x-) that never cease to amaze me! That's definitely not me!
Some of us are very lucky and don't even know how it feels. well good for them ! ;-) ok then i am not worried have a good rest . isn't it great to see the return of normal hormonal function ;-) ;-)

So, I took your suggestion and watch few yt videos from Dr. Huberman , and it makes all sense to me now. He also suggested to take up on small portions of meals , but multiples times a day, which actually helps to burn calories much more faster.
Instead of just gobbling up everything in one go , and also helps to digest faster

Ohhh carrots! I love them , esp raw as well. I have never tried raw sweet potato though , I tend to eat it roasted or cooked it in soups and curries.
But you r right carrot is such an effortless snack. I have seen some dieticians said, to roost it or air fry it, but I think it tastes way better raw. And it still has all the nutritious moisture locked in it

Oh, your place's heat must be also unbearable. Mine is very tropical country. And to answer your question, no I don't have lactose intolerance, infact I do drink milk once in a while. ( I still want to grow tall T . T )
< I know it's a myth tho , that drinking milk makes your u talker, BS >
And you m8 not believe since I'm Asian, but I absolutely can't stand the spice. Given all our curries are spicy

U have mentioned the " full clothed " carbs before . What is it ?
Oh btw, once am done with my periods , I'll start pilates.
What kind of workout are you doing right now ? Since you mentioned , you are trying to drop few pounds as well

Hello you !! thinking about you :-) !! I was truly amazed that you could keep a low added sugar = low refined sugar for two days, well done you!! And i believe chai tea is really a great treat. Better than soda. ! Because it has whole milk in it, usually, yes? and the nutrients in the WHOLE milk truly helps make a difference in using the sugar. Here where i live, chai tea isn't part of our cultural tradition, but nowadays we can buy boxes of chai spices, to make it at home :-o so i was curious , but had no idea of the traditionnal way , so i just did what i usually do to prepare tea, i just put the spices in a glass and poured boiling water over it ! (The spice mix came without black tea leaves) _ as my parents never ever add anything to hot beverages, nothing, no nothing (neither milk neither butter neither sugar) so i also have the habbit to drink plain hot tea. So i added nothing. Just spices and hot water :-o have you tried it already ?? i thought this it's really good !! :-))) it's also good prepared that way. :-) !!! That's good to know, if you like chai tea ! I believe chai tea prepared traditionnally (when whole milk and brown sugar are added, with the black tea leaves too, that makes a great dessert after a meal. Yes it's a bit sugary but if we are talking about weightloss, there is way less white sugar in chai than a serving of chocolate cake. And it's truly envigorating and satisfying, right ? And if you take it right after a whole meal it won't spike the blood sugar that much. Same thing if you really '' have to '' drink soda sometimes. But chai is better for you ! _

I am just like you !! I cannot stand the hot chilli peppers in curry neither :-/ but i 100% love hot spices like the chai mix and also ginger and garlic :-ooo and my body loves it too !!! :-) _ (and also mustard seeds, they are the type of '' hot '' and '' warming '' spices thanks i can have. I looove a traditionnal homemade curry paste with fresh ginger galanga and '' everything but hot chilly peppers '' :-D !! :-) my favourite is the green curry paste, with the coriander :-ooo it's so gooOood !!! But the yellow curry paste is also great with just lentils + rice + al dente carrots + fresh coriander as a topping :-ooOoOo i am so impressed by the curry Nations ! :-)

Give me curry without hot chilli pepper just any day!! :-) !!!

Oh yes, i love eggplant curry and zuccini curry too!!! Curry is great they make vegetable so pleasing ,right ? my tummy is singing everytime i :-D !! !!!

I know you are going to sleep soon so i am stopping myself and i wish you a good night.

I'm in a bit of a different situation, basically because of a chronic illness if i eat sugar i get fucked up. thats in any form, bread, sugar, whatever. so i have to live basically keto out of necessity. that said, zevia sugar free soda (actually good), lakanto monk fruit sweetener(they have these bomb ass sugar free chocolate covered almonds), and the ability to cook/ bake has saved my whole existence. also almond flour. almond flour pancakes and muffins are pretty good. cant eat bread though :C

im no dietitian though so, yeah.
