Just for experimentation purpose, I had a really sinful day and was on a sugar high all day, thanks to a high sugar and high fat diet, which I 'rewarded' myself to cos it's the weekend! Now I finally understand why high-sugar foods should be taken minimally.
Breakfast consisted of Lindt almond chocolate and Magnum ice-cream (my all-time favourite off-the-shelve ice cream), which I balanced out with a small cup of yogurt and oatmeal! I know that this is not exactly a balanced diet but I guess it'll do for the weekend. For morning tea break, I had a large piece of delectable Turkish chocolate cake and it kept me incredibly queasy for the rest of the morning. Nonetheless, it was well worth it. Close to noon, I popped a few pieces of savoury Lay's potato chips. Our bodies need sodium, don't they, I convinced myself.
The highlight for the day was chicken rice from the legendary Zhou Kee Hainanese Chicken & Roasted Rice at Ang Mo Kio Ave 10. Each grain was plump without being too oily and the chicken was succulent and juicy. Chilli is not needed as it's so good you can eat it on its own. Thereafter, I completed my meal with a piece of dark chocolate Tim Tam and Ribena. Yum.
While my taste buds were perked by the tasty treats, by late afternoon, my radar was on all-time low and I felt incredibly sleepy and lethargic. I couldn't think well and all I craved for was some sleep. But I didn't nap or whatsoever as I didn't want to waste a beautiful Saturday sleeping.
Hunger didn't strike till late in the evening and by then, I knew I should cut out the sugar so all I had was a lovely cup of milk and muesli. Lovely. By now, as I'm typing this, I sense my body moving back to status quo and I feel more energetic and alert. No wonder they say nature gives us the best things in life. Thank you, milk and muesli.
