How I Ate Noodles And Lose Weight Part 1

Hi my friends,
Sorry for the 1 week hiatus. I was suffering from some sort of verbal diarrhoea and ate Macdonalds all week. *Sulks*
Bad news. I know. I swear I could see my well-defined tummy disappearing one morning and I freaked out! I bet many of you have this problem whereby due to stress, work or whatever mentally drained activity you may have, you eat and eat and EAT to your hearts content.
Eating to your hearts content is PERFECTLY fine. However whenever we eat to our hearts content due to mentally and emotionally drained reasons, we tend to eat CARBS! BAD CARBS!
Your over-portioned rice, noodles, chips, Ben N Jerry’s, fried chicken and more sinful carb-fat laden foods are the cause of your slowly-disappearing flat tummy or sooner EXTRA FLAB, FAT around your waist. Yikes!
So, being so agitated with my defination slowly disappearing, I decided to google on low carbs, low carb noodles, low carb pastas and other substitute of carbs. Since I’m living in Singapore a country in Asia, it was all the more necessary for me to find alternatives which would replace the Asian staple of rice and noodles.
I wanted my definitions back and like you, I still want to have my noodles, pastas, rice and all the carbs in the world!
Often a time, it worries me to see my clients being so reluctant to part away with carbs in their diet. I had to literally scream at them to STOP indulging. Yes eating sinful carbs like abovementioned are all INDULGENCE. They are not necessary for weight loss – fat loss.
Anyway, since I finally could understand how my clients feel, I went on a strike!
I googled, brainstormed, made some calls and THEN…
I discovered a MIRACLE!!!
THE ANSWER TO YOUR LOW-CARB HEADACHES.
THE ANSWER TO YOUR LOW-CARB TORTURE.
YOU CAN FINALLY EAT ALL THE CARBS YOU WANT AND…
STILL LOSE WEIGHT.
PRESENTING TO YOU THE…
SHIRATAKI NOODLES!!!
Alright. I will cut my drama queen persona. But really, those of you who are on a diet will understand my excitement. Those of you who are seeing flabs-fats forming around your waist would also pardon my drama queen-ness.
