Chia Seed Toast From Bread Talk

I was attracted to this new type of bread about two months ago. The main reason why I grabbed it is because it's supposed to "keep you feeling full for hours". I thought to myself: Hey! A great diet food!

Before tasting it, I thought the taste would be horrible. The name "Chia Seed" just sounded too "healthy" and exotic. I had half expected myself to be forcing the bread down my throat. But surprising, it's very tasty!

I used to love Bread Talk's bread before I started on my weight loss journey. Since 2008, I think I had never finished an entire piece of those high calories bread from any bakery. Usually I would just take one mouthful or bite and pass to my mum or dad. (:P)

I applaude the effort of Bread Talk for coming up with healthier products for consumers who are more health conscious, like me. Now, I can happily go to Bread Talk, and savor the nice taste of bread again.

As you can see from the picture above, two slices of the bread is a total of 152 calories. Only 152!!! Chia Seed Toasts are sliced thicker than your usual Sunshine or Gardenia Bread. So for 152 calories, you get two thick slices of bread! And it's yummy!

Nowadays, I would have two slices for breakfast, one or two more for snacks and teabreak, or even lunch, if I am too busy to eat. The Chia Seed does makes me feel full, and I don't feel the urge to eat or snack after eating this early in the morning. It is not until I suddenly feel lethargic in the afternoon that I realised I had not eaten anything apart from the Chia Seed Toasts.

~~For me, I would say that the "feeling full" effect works on me. Yeah! These Chia Seed Toasts are like the SK2 of bread-land. "Miracle Bread".~~

~~I think Bread Talk truly deserve a pat on their shoulders for presenting to the consumer such a wonderful product.~~

~~Thumbs up!~~

~~Bread Talk have other new products that are labelled "Healthier Choice", I will post a review on them after I had tried them.~~

Thanks to w, he/she reminded me that one slice of bread should be 60g, and thus one slice should be 152 calories.

Oh man, I am really disappointed with Bread Talk. :(

64kg - I've lost 30 kg so far

Hi folks,

I've been absent for a long while again. Good news is, I'm now 64kg.
Yeah! I didn't gain back all the fat that I shed.

My new boyfriend. (Photo was taken when I was around 66kg. I think my legs and waist are smaller now. Heeee)

It's easy to give in to temptation, but I've worked very hard to lose this much weight. It will be crazy to be fat again. I have lost about 30 kg so far, and can now fit comfortably into size M in Forever 21, but size S is my ultimate goal.

One of the reason why I am not blogging actively is because I seriously have nothing much to post. I've posted on most of the popular food in Singapore, so nothing much for me to cover now... Today, I just decided to browse this blog again, and to my surprise, I still have a healthy number of page views.

I hope the information here has been useful to you. It is useful to me. Calories counting in my opinion is still an effective way to lose weight.

Thank you for not leaving me, and thank you for being here, reading this.

I will not abandon this blog, which has much meaning to me.

Will be back.

Soon. :)

Mee Series - Calories of Lor Mee

Lor Mee, originally uploaded by ChocolateFillings.

This is my favourite food!! But I have not have this in ages. :(

1 bowl of Lor Mee, 540g = 383kcal.

I was really shocked that Lor Mee only cost me 383kcal. But afterwards I realised the 383kcal is a bowl of Lor Mee with only "Yellow noodles with beansprouts, egg and pork in thick dark gravy" according to HPB. So that is to say that they exclude the tasty fried stuff that are usually found in good Lor Mee. No wonderrrrrrrrrr :(

Calories of Plain Rice Dumplings 碱水粽 (jianshui zong, Kee Zhang)

碱水粽 (jianshui zong), originally uploaded by dumdumsp.

1 Plain Rice Dumplings 碱水粽 (jianshui zong), 96g = 164kcal

This one is usually eaten with sugar. The rice is treated with edible alkaline, hence its yellowish color. My Ah Gong was the only one who eats this. Now that he is gone, no one else eat this in my family anymore. :( But I can still remember the taste of this very special dumpling, and the sight of my Ah Gong eating it.

Calories of Meat Rice Dumpling, Bak Zhang 肉粽

Bak Zhang, originally uploaded by iFlicks.

1 Meat Rice Dumpling (Bak Zhang), 132g = 276kcal
("Glutinous rice filled with fatty meat, chestnut and chopped mushroom, wrapped by leaves, steamed")

132g is kind of small. I think the typical rice dumpling we see is definitely bigger than 132g.. and would also cost more calories :(

Calories of Nonya Dumpling 娘惹粽

Bak-Zhang (Glutinous Rice Dumplings), originally uploaded by ctnyc.

1 Nonya Dumpling, 165g = 315kcal.

Nonya dumplings are the one that has a sweet filling because of the added winter melon candy. The meat is also minced, unlike the Hokkien or Cantonese dumplings.
