The bad rep: Potatoes rank high on the glycemic index, which measures how quickly different foods raise your blood sugar. Foods with a high GI value tend to cause a higher spike in blood sugar—and in insulin, the hormone that helps glucose get into cells—which can be a problem for some people, particularly those with diabetes.
The good news: Potatoes are a good source of fiber, potassium and vitamin C. And unless you’re eating an absolutely plain potato all by itself, its GI value doesn’t matter. (It’s also worth noting that the glycemic index is an imperfect and controversial scale.) A high-GI potato becomes a low-GI meal if you simply add a little olive oil, because the added fat helps slow the absorption of the potato’s carbohydrates.
2) Chocolates
The bad rep: Chocolate has lots of fat, lots of sugar—and it tastes amazing, so it must be bad for you.
The good news: Dark chocolate contains flavanols, antioxidants that seem to have a blood-thinning effect, which can benefit cardiovascular health. And, recently, researchers in Switzerland reported that eating dark chocolate (1.4 ounces of it) every day for two weeks reduced stress hormones, including cortisol, in highly stressed people. But be sure to account for the calories (1.4 ounces delivers 235)—
The bad rep: Beef is full of saturated fat and dietary cholesterol, so people who care about their hearts should avoid it.
The good truth: Lean cuts of beef are a low-fat source of protein and iron, a mineral essential for getting oxygen from the lungs to cells throughout the body—and one many women (of childbearing age) are deficient in. There are many lean cuts of steaks: filet mignon, sirloin, strip steak, flank steak. If you can’t remember the names, pick steaks that are deep red with a relatively small amount of marbling—a fancy name for fat—to find lean cuts.
The bad rep: Peanut butter is super-fattening.
The good news: Peanut Butter is high in fat but that doesn’t mean it’s fattening. (Gaining or losing weight, and body fat, basically comes down to balancing calories.) That said, peanut butter is a concentrated source of calories, so you don’t want to go overboard. But you don’t need to eat tons to feel satisfied: just a tablespoon (90 calories) or two of peanut butter goes a long way. Plus, peanut butter provides protein and folate, a B vitamin important for the healthy development of new cells.
5) Eggs
The bad rep: A significant source of dietary cholesterol, egg yolks are off-limits for those concerned about heart health.
The good truth: Medical experts now emphasize that saturated fats and trans fats are bigger culprits in raising blood cholesterol than dietary cholesterol is. Plus, eggs are super-satisfying: in one study, people who ate a scrambled-egg-and-toast breakfast felt more satisfied, and ate less at lunch, than they did when they ate a bagel that had the same number of calories. Egg yolks contain lutein and zeaxanthin, compounds that research links with reduced risk for age-related macular degeneration (AMD), the leading cause of blindness in people over 50
April 2010
Just a blink and its 20th of April. This means that in 2 more days, we will have our 'cut head off' date. It headjust means its another stupid pay day for the bloody month of april and the beginning of payment for the endless torture month of May.
Lets see, what did I do in April. SO far, its been hell work work work all day long and thinking about it I havent got a good rest since chinese new year. Sometimes I wonder without work what I can do. Lets see...I can go for dancing class, piano class, sucide class or maybe a couple of exercise. But this means that I need to spent extra money and combining it with the work till 6, I will be so tired and i rather lay myself on the car park outside my office and be bitten to dead by a cobra. Not to forget to put up a signboard saying "If you are a man, especially Indian, please dont save me and let me die!".
Went to Temburong trip with Eric's friend and which is now my friends too lolz. It was a very nice relaxing happy trip, surrounded with deadly trees, poisonous river and some fatty fellow and some cheapskate people who always took pictures and steal my sleeping looks and post it to the world. Compared to all this is better than to work and look at the Sucide S curve, but luckily there's this hulk lady and maybe a bugs bunny guy hoping around and eating carrot all the time to keep time passing by quickly.
Trip ended and we are back in Bandar. Went to eat escapade and Er is so overly late. We were kinda nervous that time because I saw alot of invisible arrow (from their eyes) shooting around us, especially at the tables and chairs. Er did arrive of coz, which was around 45 mins after his “on his way” over the phone and after that we went to ghost town JP.
JP is always the same ever since things went down. At least, there are people there walking around instead of flying. But I do felt something un usual that time. As if some stuff are behind me.
They speak of HK and well, I so wanted to go. JJ is in Taiwan and seems like she really enjoyed it. Well at least they have more activity in Taiwan. I called her up and well, seems like theres some changes in her haha. More fat and more active?
So another plan coming up is the kk trip for Hj. It really bump me as this trip totally crash with my AC trip in Sg.Since its for Hj then maybe I should go for it this time. I heard we need to go to pool and it totally sucks as I think I got phobia from playing with water. But I just think Maybe I should just sit around and relax abit.
Praying for the "thing" to be successful and if so that I can just screw them up and leave else I just need do some planning. haha
