As the seasons change, one of the things many of us look forward to are warm, satisfying dishes like stews and soups. One of my favorite dishes is potato soup; unfortunately, it’s also a dish that can be very high in fat and calories (butter, cream, and bacon are all featured ingredients in most potato soup recipes). So I developed a recipe that cuts out almost all the unhealthy fat. I also added back in some extra flavor in the [...]
For those of us living in the U.S., the Fourth of July holiday is just a few days away. Realizing that fact prompted me to look for a recipe you can make if you need to bring something to a barbecue or potluck (and for those readers not celebrating the holiday, this dish is just as delicious for a regular ol’ summer night). I’ve made this potato salad on numerous occasions, and each time the bowl has been (sometimes literally) [...]
“People are more opposed to fur than leather because rich ladies are easier to harass than bikers.” ~ Bumper sticker 193.9 lbs. Weight loss from starvation, check. Muscle atrophy, check. Social isolation, check. Oy. I can’t emphasize enough that the reason I’m starving myself is to raise awareness of how we should eat, and why. I don’t condone it; in fact quite the opposite. If you’re overweight, it’ll take time to lose it safely. If you’re anorexic or bulimic and [...]
“Never eat more than you can lift” ~ Miss Piggy 199.2 lbs. Success! Well, if success can be measured by racking your physical and mental well-being through starvation, then… success! But while I’m doing this to demonstrate just how bad anorexia and crash dieting can be for your body, I’d set a personal milestone of being below 200 lbs. by day 50 (from the starting weight of 240 lbs. the day before beginning the starvation phase of this project). Yep. [...]
These go great with the miso glazed cod. Atlantic fish and potatoes with an Asian twist. That’s what you get for reading a blog by a half Asian, half white dude. This recipe does take a little longer than the usual 15 minute zingers, but that’s because of the peeling and cubing potatoes. So here’s what you do: instead of offering to cook your date dinner, invite her or him to arrive about 1 1/2 to 2 hours before you’re [...]
“He was a bold man that first ate an oyster.” ~ Jonathan Swift 228.8 lbs When I realized how many calories were in a pack of instant noodle soup (Day 2) I started looking for alternatives. Campbell’s Chunky soups are filling, and only 140-170 calories per 250ml. So a whole can is not much more, in terms of calories, than noodles in water. I like noodles in water, but as most uni students can tell you eating them day after [...]
