DAY TEN AND ELEVEN

DAY TEN

Waking up at 3pm, I skipped lunch and breakfast altogether. Went out for some light dinner while I shopped for my Chinese New Year clothes. Had YONG TAU HUUUUU!

Ah...so healthy. Didn't give in to temptations today! Yay! Munched on fruits like apples and pineapples again. ((; Ok...I have to keep this positivity UP! YAY! (;

DAY ELEVEN

This is day 4 already. TIME IS PASSING LIKE DRIPPING WATER. T.T

I hope this is ending soon. Hahaha. I feel my endurance level going down fast.

Well, today I went for a sports event at Sentosa. Needed some real food after the game since I felt like I drained most of my energy while playing. Went to Aston's for lunch with my peers after the event. Had grilled fish with herbs, corn and house salad. NO DRINKS! Just ice water.

Yeah I know, it looks very fattening, right? I feel so guilty about the cream sauce on top of the fish. :x well yeah. Dinner...lemme see. I didn't eat much for dinner. Just remember nomming on cucumbers and some boiled chicken on rice and some herbal soup my mom made. Yeah. Forgot to take pictures again!! Yikes.

Anyways, I did kinda fall back a lil. Took some sweet treats once in a while, like steam cakes and sweets. Otherwise, I haven't taken in soft drinks and chocolates. Sigh. Well ok. Here's a video of day 11!

DAY EIGHT AND NINE

Well, hello! Sorry for the lack of updates again! OMG. SO SORRY! Well, yesterday, had vegetarian for lunch! Once again. More veg this time round and lesser of those soya made products! No gravy. Well. I feel quite healthy eating so much green. Heh.

Went home for dinner. Mom stewed chicken and vegetable. Cut some cucumbers to go with it. And the best part was, mom made VEGETABLE SOUP!

didn't really like it, but it was healthy tho. It's just day 1 of week 2. I hope things go well from here, although I don't know if I'll fall along the way. I mean, NO SUGAR, ya know. It's like living hell! T.T

Day nine was ok. Didn't eat lunch. But chomped on sliced fruits along the way. Met up with some friends for dinner at a Taiwan theme restaurant. Ordered a herbal chicken noodle soup! Was kind of oily. But compared to the rest of the menu, it's definitely a healthier choice! We ordered another side of boiled fish cakes. Was rather tasty! Love it. The best part was...it's really not oily AT ALL. (;

Hunger pangs came at night. Cut some fruits for supper instead of having my usual biscuits and snacks. A refreshing change! And very sweet too! ((;

DAY SIX AND SEVEN

Hey all, sorry for the lack of updates! OMGGOSH.

Was really tired. So yeah...ANYWAYS!

DAY SIX, had chicken rice for lunch and fried rice for dinner. Not very healthy...uh oh! But its not that oily! So it's passable? Haha. Oh no. Ok. I have to be a lil more disciplined! D; But overall, was feeling rather ok, maybe because it's not that healthy as compared to the other days. Well...sorry! I will do my best in the upcoming weeks! (; Was kinda losing concentration tho. D;

DAY SEVEN, had beef soup noodles for lunch and subway sandwich for dinner! The beef soup was rather bland and it was a rather refreshing soup-food I've tasted so far this week! Not very oily or anything like that, don't get me wrong. It's just...a totally different taste from the rest, that's all! (; And dinner was subway sandwich without any sauces! YAY!

So ok. Next up, WEEK TWO! Fat AND sugar free. OMG.

I think I'm so gonna die. I survive on large amount of sugar! jesus! so anyways, yeah...((; Stay tuned and sorry no video, because my photobooth is acting up. T.T Urm, will update soon. Oh...yeah...one advice!

If you're in a supermarket and you are dying to munch some chips, or some snacks, try buying sushi rolls with vegetable fillings/centers instead! It's healthy and oil-free. BEST OF ALL, it's not fried or artificially process like chips and all. So yeah...have a great night and I'll blog tomorrow, hopefully...

DAY FIVE

Lunch: Macaroni with soup, too hungry, forgot to snap pictures

Dinner: Rice with steamed eggs, taupok and boiled cucumber from the vegetarian store.

Ok...by today, I think my weight has gone down by a kg. And I can't really do my work very well as my concentration level went down. I feel sleepier and I have not much motivation to do anything due to the low sugar intake )); But today's definitely better than yesterday. In terms of emotional state. Feel so much happier today. Yay! Ok. So here's today's vlog. Catchya all soon. (;

DAY FOUR!

ok. my emotion scale is going downhill by today.

lunch i had rice with boiled chickedn, steamed eggs and a single piece of tofu with minced meat!

kinda healthy. didn't eat dinner today though. I guess my stomach space has shrunk after 3 days. Haha. Or maybe it's just a psychological thing. I don't know. (; Ok...I guess that's all for now. Cya all soon! ((((;

DAY THREEEEEE

Lunch was rice with some random boiled vegetables and chicken.

Dinner was half a bowl of fish slice soup...

Supper was a sandwich with mushrooms and chicken!

Will be updating with pictures! Meanwhile, omg, let me whine. I can't take it! The smell and temptation of fried and oily stuff are JUST. TOO. DIFFICULT. TO. RESIST. DDDDD;

I had a hard time convincing myself that I CANNOT take any of those food! OMG. And nope, didn't give in to temptations! YAY! ;D and yeah, 2 and a half more weeks. Gonna TRYYY TRYYY AND TRYYYYY HARDERRRRR!!! RARRRR!

Meanwhile, I was becoming a lil grouchy...I think its because I haven't been taking in any comfort food for a good 3 day already. So...heh. Some emotion change! ALRIGHT! Meanwhile, I'm plotting a graph of like...emotions. Hmmm, let's hope we'll achieve some kinda pattern from this (graph) ok! ;DDD

Ok, here's day three reflection, after lunch.

DAY TWO DIET

WOOHOO!

had mee sua with meatballs!

dinner was bread and cherry tomatoes!! ;D

milk for dessert!

Because I had an early dinner (like 6 plus pm), my stomach started calling out for help. Opened a packet of soya milk for dessert, a vast difference from the usual hall supper I always binge on - food like instant noodles, etc.

Ok. Time for bed.

DAY ONE DIET

So...this is day one.

Erm...had a subway sandwich for lunch and vegetarian food for dinner. I'm still mentality sound and my body didn't break down. I didn't pig out on snacks (YAY!). So yeah! Day one is a success so far!

Got a Turkey Breast sandwich with lots of vegetable toppings (apart from chili and onions). Oh. And I had a cup of barley.

Well ok. That was about 12pm, after Graphic Design class.

This is dinner for the day, vegetarian meat, assorted veg and rice. There were some cauliflowers, broccoli, carrots, bean sprouts and potatoes.

mmm, yummy.

and to top it all off, I had an apple for dessert! (;

And so, a reflection after dinner.

INTRODUCTION

Hello all.

An introduction to this current project I'm working on. Basically, I’m working towards the area of diet in relation to the emotions, mental stability and physical well being in general of human. I feel that food affects each and every part of our lives. For example, living life without certain food component such as sugar or carbohydrates will decrease the work effectiveness of one as sugar and broken down glucose gives an individual some sense of satisfaction and a pump of happiness, which might be short-lived or long, depending on the chemicals present in the body. This will also affect the person’s mood of the day and in turn affect his work progress and production level. Food is also a necessity in life, aside water. However, too much food can cause sicknesses and unnecessary consequences such as landing up in a hospital or even death. Reduced food diet is highly recommended in the current times as more and more people are into the healthy living trend. More green and less fats have been implanted in the diets of many urbanized working adults.

My take on this project is to test out the different diets that are present within the lives of the university students in NTU, be it vegetarian, strict all green and fish/chicken diet, all meat or all fibre diet. This experiment will be carried out through out 3 weeks and each week, I’ll be looking into different diets and trying them out. Documentations will be taken each day to note the mood change and work effectiveness. The final outcome of the project will be determined further down the progress of the project. Meanwhile, research of different diets on people will be done and interviews will be conducted on different ages with different diets.
