The Secret To Adrianna's Body..
My favourite meal after a workout session,
Scarmbled eggs with ham, steamed broccoli and a thick wholemeal toast.
I understand my body very well, and it is important when I workout or eat. In doing so, I alter my workout to target the areas that I want to lose/gain mass, and I increase the amount of food intake after every workout. Well, I have asked a few personal trainers about my tiny frame, and there's nothing I can do about it except to workout, sleep well, have a good diet and take protein shakes. It is not advisable to constrain your diet to fruits and veggies during the weekdays, and then binge eat during the weekends. Binge eating, I'm talking about pizza, fried food, and desserts within two days. I read somewhere in Men's Health that your body actually absorbs more unhealthy fats, and your weekdays plan will be completely overrun by the type of food you eat during the weekends. I guess I'm lucky, I don't have a sweet tooth or a taste bud that requires three tea-spoon of salt in a 100g of stir-fry broccoli. If you're hooked to high amount of sodium laced food and wants to cut down, you can! I read again in Men's Health that if you cut down on salt, for example, limiting to 1.5 tea-spoon on your broccoli, within two weeks, you would find that you would not have any urge in adding more salt. Thus, cutting them down to half, or a pinch of salt would take another two weeks. And so, within a month, you would be living on a healthier lifestyle!
The type of cooking you do is important, I particularly love food that are either in soup forms,baked, grilled or steamed. For example, breast meat has the lowest fat and I tend to use it for stir fry. But I can't have breast meat all the time, or I'll find it too healthy and repulsive. Thigh and drumstick works for me. Grill a fillet of saba fish/salmon/cod with garlic and olive oil at 200deg for 45mins, and trust me, it keeps you full throughout the night.
This is typical deb-food day:
Breakfast - 500ml of chilled water, a bowl of oats, or wholemeal thick toast with jam/peanut butter,or two scrambled egg sandwich and a cup of Milo.
Lunch - Katsu Curry Don
Tea-Time - wholemeal bread with blueberry jam
Dinner - Fried Rice/Chicken Soup/stir-fry veggies.
After Dinner- Nuts/Fruits/M&Ms
And I don't count my calories, or it'll be very hard to enjoy life and the wonders of food. I eat whatever I want but chooses the right methods and ingredients in cooking them.
Anyway, I've found an incredible way to get sick abs. It is painful and requires a lot of discipline, but I'm heading for class now. So, I'll do it sometime soon!
PS: In case you're wondering why I read Men's Health, and did harbour the thought that I might be a man. I'm reading it because the BF reads them.
