I'm only a Natural

I love food. And I love talking about food. It's one of the things that I am very proud of myself.

I have never really been on a diet. Everybody including myself didn't understand why I could eat as much I did while not putting on weight. Only later, a few years ago, when there were talks about Atkins' diet, I realized that I was a natural. Since then, I started to be more conscious. I try stick to my life style, that somehow has some science backings now.

I am an odd Chinese person who dosen't fancy rice, or bread or pasta for that matter. I only have whole wheat bagel, bread or pasta at home. and the rice is brown, of course.

Luckily, I don't have a sweet taste butt either. I only eat finest dark chocolate or garment type of ice-cream. Otherwise, I could do without any extra sugar intake. You have to pay me to take a lick off a cone from an ice-cream truck. I only snack on nuts or occasional cheetos or movie popcorns. I cannot remember when was the last time when I consumed a full can of pop or a full cup of juice. I drink only water and tea. I don't mind having a cup of coffee a day, with double cream, but never with sugar even the brown sugar or the substitute. no beer, please. but I love red wine. I normally clean up the house over a glass of red over the weekend.

I also love cheese and butter. my favorite is harvati. in the meat department, I eat a lot of chicken and pork. sometime I eat lamb. but not much beef at all. because I was brought up in a coastal city, I DO have to have sea food as much as I can get to. I am not a sushi person. But I love sushimi or anything fishy and raw. I could live on raw oysters and steamed lobsters, for example. Meanwhile I eat vegetable like a rabbit. I am also friends with fruits, the more exotic kinds the beter. and I have a whole array of soy products for my selection.

I love love food. and I watch what I eat. Peole say I have a will power of steel. I say I am only a natural.
