when people say that some things are good for you. in this case, food.
since october, i started avoiding "unhealthy" food (fastfood, softdrinks and junk food). around november, i tried adding some nutritious food in my diet (more veggies and fruits, sweet potatoes for breakfast, soybean custard from time to time). only now did i realize that i havent been feeling any physical discomfort or body pain lately. my headaches arent as frequent (but my mood still hasnt changed. so it could mean my mood is not related to my physical health). i substantially reduced my "pork intake". when i ate a lot of pork the other night coupled with pork sisig the day before, i felt some sharp pain in my intestine area. so i guess i shouldnt eat pork frequently and stick to chicken, fish and veggies. but i when i ate KFC's Double Down (something that looks very unhealthy), it felt like a light snack to me (and i didnt feel any discomfort whatsoever, as opposed to a college friend who said he felt some neck pain after eating one. i could easily consume two, maybe three). the only fastfood item that has an apparent adverse effect on me is McDonalds' Double Cheeseburger. well, before, when it wasnt listed in the menu (the Double Cheeseburger wasnt posted in the menu before but when i ask at the counter if they have one available, they say they have it but i have to wait for a few minutes. i didnt mind because why would they prepare one beforehand when its not listed in the first place? i dont remember how i knew about it though. its like the free coffee refills in the morning). back then, when i eat Mcdonalds' Double Cheesburger, i always feel my chest tighten. i really liked this burger because it was greasy, really greasy. i like greasy burgers (thats why i discourage my siblings to go a certain burger place in Cubao because their burgers werent greasy at all). but when i order one now, it doesnt give me that same "crap, i might be having a heart attack" feeling anymore. thats why i order the Quarter Pounder instead (i really hope the McRib becomes available here).
not sure if its due to my healthier diet that caused the improvement of my physical condition (as usual, i have doubts). what im sure of is, it coincided with it. im going to stick to the healthier diet but i will reward myself with unhealthy ones from time to time. thats one of the reasons why i improved my diet in the first place, so i can eat unhealthy food for a long time. i dont want to grow old and have a lot of food restrictions. unhealthy food is one of the few things i can look forward to and enjoy when im old.
in a very unrelated but could be remotely connected note, i dont get why Audrey Hepburn hates pastries. its one the best edible things one can sink one's teeth in. well, im not completely convinced with what i just said but right now, im reminiscing about the cupcake i just ate yesterday. maybe i was just really tired and hungry yesterday
