Weight Loss Journey

8lb lost in 6 weeks. I haven't been following Dr. Poon's diet strictly by still drinking wine during weekends. Otherwise I could have lost more than 15 lbs. 不過,淨係准食肉(包括魚)同菜真係好辛苦。連麥皮,麥包同全麥意粉或飯都唔得。生果芝士又唔得。菜只係有葉既菜。其它如根部既菜或高澱粉質既西蘭花,椰菜花甚至豆類豆腐都唔得。日日早餐都係食蛋白同凍肉,悶到嘔。真係好辛苦,無乜選擇。Dr. Poon says although I do not weigh much, my body fat % is still high (33.2%). I still need to lose 8.6 lbs to reach 112.8lb. in order to reach a target Body Fat % of 28%. 努力!加油!

First snow on October 21







St. Lawrence Market

raspberry tea blend bought for $6



This piece of mushroom like stuff called Chaga bought for $10. The whole piece should be soaked in 3L warm water for 48 hours. Drink 3 cups each day. Said to heal a lot of illness even cancer.







Purple carrot. Haven't tried it yet. But report always said deep colour (especially purple) vegetable and fruit has a lot of good nutrient.




Trick or Treat
















Seafood

We went to St. Lawrence Market Saturday morning for the first time. It was real big and a lot of fresh meat, seafood. We bought Ostrich meat, venison, proscieuto, oyster, smoked salmon, fresh sardine and a really hot mustard.








orange pepper wrapped in proscieuto. Taste really good since proscieuto is so salty and orange pepper is so sweet. The smoked salmon is much more tasty than those sold in supermarket in packages.
