Power Diet Food of the day!

We all know what to eat and not but most of us don't know where to get it and what kind of form it takes place. Here is today's Power Diet Food!


A bowl of WHITE RICE.


A pair of chicken breasts meat with some gizzard.

This is how I alter a daily meal into a diet food. Soy sauce, which is sodium, causes excessive water retention. Now, we do not want 2 things under our skin. Fat AND water. They both give off the same effect. We'll look bloated/chubby/thick, whatever you call it. I chose white rice because it does not posses excess fat. The delicious yellow rice that everyone eats is cooked together with saturated chicken fat and probably margarine/butter as well. Carbohydrates are not fattening. Only when coupled with fats in a meal, it is fattening. Remember the lipolysis and insulin rule? Got insulin, no lipolysis. Excess dietary fat are stored when carbohydrate and fat are taken together.

Analysis: A pair of chicken breast probably has 24grams of protein, coupled with a white bowl of rice which is roughly 250Kcal. The gizzard is considered negligible. 24grams of chicken breast would probably be 150Kcal. All in it's 400kcal only! Then again, recent studies have shown that our body responds differently protein, carbohydrate and fat calories. It applies to the different glycemic index carbohydrates too.

Oh btw, this chicken rice stall is at Kepong. The whole meal costs RM 7.50! Way cheaper than anywhere else! GOD, the aunt loves me!

So before you go cutting down carbohydrate intakes, think twice! Power Diet Food consist EITHER FAT OR CARBOHYDRATE in one sitting.
