I met with a friend earlier at SM Makati, and I chanced upon this product called Sodastream. It got me curious since I’ve never seen anything like it before and of course checking out the name of the product, all the more that I got curious. My husband is a softdrink person. He hardly drinks water, and yes it is bad.

Yesterday I resumed my long suspended diet, and I for dinner I was looking for something not more than 120calories. So during my one hour break from work, also dinner time, I went to a convenience store outside the office and found Nova’s newest addition to its healthy snack line – The Nova Multigrain Snack Bar.
Nova was introduced in the market back in mid or late 1990s by Universal Robina to cater to people who are fond of chips but would rather skip munching on it because of the lack of nutritional value of most chips in the market. As such, if you want to take a day off and live the proverbial life of a coach potato for a day, you can definitely indulge without the guilt, with the Nova Multigrain snacks. Read more…
I’ve been craving for White Hat Yogurt Lover’s hat for almost three weeks now. When we were in Shangri-la Mall three weeks ago, I was told they don’t have cherries and cashews so Lover’s hat is not available. I was really disappointed, I don’t want to order another flavor, so off we went without my Lover’s hat.
Yesterday, I was thrilled to pass by Gateway Mall to get my yogurt fix, but lo and behold, I was disappointed to see a sign stating that there’s no yogurt available. 
So I ended up at Dairy Queen instead, which is another favorite of mine, but since it’s not what I’m craving for at the moment, I wasn’t satisfied.
Today, before going to the office, I went directly to White Hat and was ecstatic to find out that I can already order. I finally got my long awaited Lover’s Hat. It is a cup of healthy yogurt, of course, topped with yummy cherries and a lot of chocolate chips and cashew nuts! When I got my first spoonfull, it was absolutely divine! White Hat Lover’s hat is my heaven in a cup! And since I waited for three long weeks, I found myself heading back to White Hat three hours after to get another round of Lover’s Hat.
Christmas is nearing, and so is the much awaited Noche Buena here in the Philippines.
Noche Buena is the Christmas dinner done here in the Philippines. For my family, this is also the biggest feast of the year. Everything that we love in on the table. We have hams, chicken, pork, beef, fish, 3 kinds of desserts, and different kinds of Filipino sweets you can think of. That only means one thing, most of us will be ten pounds heavier after the season is over.
So how do we shed off these excess pounds as easily as we got them. Well you can try exercising everyday for one month. Good luck with that. You can also try fat burning supplements like Lipofuze which promises to help you burn fat faster. For me, I think I will just watch what I eat. It would be better to control the urge rather than pay for it later on.
My cousin is a registered nurse and pretty soon he’ll be off to the Middle East to seek greener pastures. At the time he was reviewing for the board exams, he was taking caffeine pills to keep him awake. I think I’m going to need some as well, as I finish up all my deliverables at work, they just keep on piling up.
Anyway, I certainly hope I get a breather real soon. Oh if you want to stay up and you’re into reading medical stuff check out www.glucosaminechondroitinmsm.net/
I lost weight already which is good and I know that because I felt my jeans loosen up, I could fit into some of my pre-pregnancy clothes once more. But then again, ever since the husband went back, the weight started coming back just as well. Which reminds me that I have to start working out again and resume my intake of Orlistat. While I am initially satisfied with how the Alli brand is working on me, I am actually considering going for a different brand name next time. I’m actually thinking if I’d go for Xenical or Lesofat next time. It’s just darn hard to look for the fastest working weight loss pills, especially when there’s just so many brands out there.
Any suggestions?

Two Sundays ago, I got the chance to watch Salamat Doc – a local TV program, that features doctors, nutritionists and other medical practitioners and gives the audience a chance to do a Q&A at the end of the show. One of the things that caught my attention and prevented me from switching channels, was when Dr. Tam Mateo started talking. He is a Naturopathologist and was the one of the pioneers in his area here in the Philippines. A lot of people attest to his methods, mostly previous cancer patients, who got cured completely just by changing their eating habbits. According to Dr. Mateo, there are a lot of benefits of eating greens and actually eating raw vegetables. Now, I’m actually very fond of eating veggies, but I kinda have reservations when it comes to eating it raw, since I’m pretty sure my sense of taste will most likely object to it. Nonetheless, I think I like what I saw and read so far, so I’m going to attend his seminar perhaps sometime next month.
For those who may also be interested, you may want to get in touch with them through the numbers on the pic posted. They have a variety of products like juices, vitamins, teas and perhaps even colon cleansing pills.

Last week while I was at the gym doing my cardio exercise, I saw one woman who was mixing a herbalife shake, she even has a blender with her. Her other friends drank as well, it seems that she is selling it. Then while I was changing, after my work out, I see flyers inside the dressing area. I’m guessing it was from the same lady. It’s a Herbalife flyer complete with basic information about a healthy breakfast and weight loss success stories from those who’ve tried the said product. It is so enticing when you see the pictures that goes with their testimonials. Perhaps one of these days, I might just give her a call.
I’ve been using Orlistat Alli for more than a month now. I found it on 50% sale in Mercury Drug about 2 months ago. The said brand is much cheaper than Xenical, although I’m not sure about Lesofat. I initially had hesitations but when I saw that it is from Glaxo Smith Kline, I went ahead and gave it a try.
In this day and age when we all are becoming accustomed to a very sedentary lifestyle, sometimes it helps to use fat burning pills. This one is particularly useful especially when your diet is mostly made up of fatty foods. One thing I like about this brand is that it also comes with a meal plan, which I have to start following soon.
There are some who make use of diet pills as well, more like the appetite suppresants. I still have some reservations at the moment but perhaps when I get a good review from someone I personally know, I might just give it a try. Sometimes it’s not really reliable to go online to read about which diet pills work best. Well, having said that, I guess some of you might not find this post entirely reliable, given that you do not know me personally. hehe
