A for Almonds And Other Nuts

I guess its true what my sister says, the more you want to diet the more you have cravings for food. What I learn from this book is that you can eat as much as you want as long as it is the right kind of food. In Kindergarden, kids are thought A is for Apple, while the saying 'an apple a day keep the doctor away' may be true, lets switch it to A for Almond and Other Nuts. I know I have said this in my previous posts but this time I am going to quote from the book.

It builds muscle and fight cravings. It contains protein, monounsaturated fats, Vitamin E, fiber, magnesium, folate (peanuts), phosporus. It fights against obesity, heart disease, muscle loss, wrinkles, cancer, high blood pressure. Similar food type is pumpkin seeds, sunflower seeds and avacados. BUT dont go out eating salted or smoked nuts though! Because of their high sodium content, which can mean high blood pressure

Now that we settles the A is for Almonds, I will visit the next letter B in my next posting. Too much information, will get you nowhere I suppose. Oh funny thing though, I once bought a pair of pants in London, many many years ago. At that time, either I was slimmer or was it month of Ramadhan. Anyway, I bought this pants, not realising that its more suited for the colder condition, very much the opposite of my home country. Well, since I never get the chance to wear in much back home not only because of the thick material but also because of my thick waist, I decided to bring it over here. Even then, I rarely wear it because its a little bit small (okay it really is small). Long story short, I managed to wear it today, in the cold Winter's day, and it fits. Well sort of fit, mmmm if only I can get rid more of the fats. Oh Almond, Almond where art though! Oh yeah, I just remembered, I bought them but never bother to roast them yet! Oh well, maybe tonite I'll make it a point of roating them.........after all today is Friday, meaning weekend is here. Finally!
