Stumbled upon this infographic while browsing the Slow Carb hashtag on Tumblr. I’m on my fourth day and I need all the motivation I can get not to cave in because damnit, this house has too many temptations.

They say showbiz will drive you crazy and it looks like it has taken a toll on Enchong Dee. Witnesses have reported sightings of Enchong going wild at the most unexpected situations. People have been warned to prepare whenever Enchong is around. Why is this happening? What is causing this madness? Why is Enchong going crazy?

These are photos of Diet Diva meals, so they don’t include all the food I actually ate the past five days. When I got hungry in between meals, I snacked on bananas, raw carrots, and hard-boiled eggs. I didn’t eat the oatmeal cookies included in Day 3, as crackers/biscuits aren’t filling for me and I tried my best to avoid refined sugar this week because it will cause a spike in, umm, blood sugar (???), triggering my sweet tooth and cravings for more food. Dude, IDK I forgot the ~science~ behind it; it’s just something I picked up when I tried Slow-Carb. I am eating them now, though, because Saturday and because chocolate chips. Anyway, I also take my coffee with milk so I’m estimating that I was hitting 1400-1500 calories a day.

Diet Diva Day 2

Breakfast: Cheesy tuna pandesal
Lunch: Tuna steak and red rice
Snack: Ripe mango and tea
Dinner: Boiled squash and carrots

I am the worst eater I know.

Despite many attempts at correcting my eating habits, I find myself yoyo-ing between barely eating and pigging out. I’m either at a caloric deficit (forcing my body to go into starvation mode) or I’m gorging. Portion control is also an alien concept to me (despite having a kitchen scale that I bought years ago solely for this purpose lol) and I can easily consume 700 calories in one sitting. I can work out all I want (something I haven’t been able to do lately because my right ankle still hurts) but that will not fix a bad diet.

This doesn’t smell like liempo…
