I hadn't update this space for a looong time. Mostly because the water diet has since made me a very poor food blogger. I rarely eat out now and even when I do, it's highly selective.
But just to share more in the meantime about my own biological changes.
I had been cooking for myself 5 out of 7 days, and it's basically stir-fried 5 - 7 different vegetables in a non-stick pan. No seasoning, no oil, just black pepper for taste. And it's pretty great. Perhap cos I don't add water, so the veg pretty much cook in their own steam (just cover the pan) and are slightly charred at the bottom. Which, is actually pretty nice.

Beside both hot or cool salads, I would have a banana with almond butter for brekkie, and nuts/seeds/fruits inbetween. Or bean soups.
So it's been quite a clean diet, with lots of healthy oils and fats coming from nuts or seeds.
I have a friend, who since I had known for awhile back, hardly eats at foodcourt or kopitiam. I thought he was just picky but recently, I realised why. After a while on homecooked food, I met a friend at the food court for supper and ordered some dishes from a vegetarian stall. After which, I felt uncomfortable. Why? I can feel the cooking oil coating my stomach in grease, and the sharpness of msg and salt on my tongue. And that my body really would prefer to remove the effects of these chemical foods.
It was an interestingly experience on the effects of cooking oil, which I ate growing up and hardly felt a thing then.
In conclusion, I have now officially gained my place in the picky eaters' club.
