The Fat and I

General | 笔者: Twinsmom
I have the history of high cholesterol, first found out was about 10 years ago, when the company request the staff to have their medical check up, the reading then was 6.8 (<5.2) for me – - a person who only weight 50kg. The doctor just adviced take care of diet, I still young no need depend on the medication.
Then three years later I check again (yah, I know, I know, suppose to be once a year, but I… you know lar… dilly dally), the reading climb to the alarming 8.0, but still the same advice – - take care of my diet, do exercise.
OK, then I really take it seriously, even though not doing any exercise, but I really control my diet – - no butter, no milk, no cheese, no lard, no egg, no cakes, no deep fried food, no KFC etc etc etc… I almost gone nut, that was torture.
Then check again after about 9 months, it drop to 7.1! only!
Then I pregnant, I closed one eye, just eat what I feel like eating, anyway during pregnancy I don’t have much choice to the food, most of the oily food made me sick, so only cold milk, cheese and bread.
After gave birth I guess the long breastfeed journey did help me sheared some pounds, but then still I know lost weight doesn’t mean my cholesterol level also lower down.
Then I dilly dally again, until recently felt a bit uneasy on the chest, then realised I should have have my check long ago.
This time I am happy, the result came out just 5.8 (<5.2), the doctor warned me: “I know your cholesterol level lower down a lot, but doesn’t mean you now can go back to your old habit taking a lot of oily food.”
But then what I didn’t tell doctor is – - last few months I had dined on the lard, for almost every meal.
I bought about 500gm of lard from super market, fried it to get the oil, then used it to fried veggie, all sort of dishes, I even put a few drops on the fried egg and eat with plain white rice. For everyone who love Hokkien Mee will know the lard is the soul of the mee, without the lard… the mee simply can’t eat!
I guess the twins really help me lost a lot of fat in my body, breastfeeding, running around them, house work, all this are just like another kind of exercise. I hardly sweat before I pregnant, but after I pregnant and later gave birth, sweat easily like nobody business, guess this help too.
But no matter how, even thought the cholesterol level have been lower down a lot, I will still continue my usual diet – - everything in moderation. Will see how it goes next year, by then I have to check again.
ROTFLMAO at the gif.
That time when I donated blood, the nurse said I am on my way to high blood pressure. -sweat-
Wahahahahah! I didn’t notice your six “packs” wor…
It is advisable to have a blood check at least once every six months… or just once a year..
As the saying goes “illness goes into the body through the mouth” mah… so is no doubt your diet that affects your health
I suspect the few drops of lard oil keep you healthy : mentally and physically
啊，祝你健健康康。健康的身体最重要。
haha…!! ur icon really damn funny lar…!!! my fren saw it laugh non stop ler….!! ahahhha
by the way, really shud watch out what u eat lor…! nwo mamibee oso scare of oily thing ler…
LOL, your gif really make me laugh!
“no butter, no milk, no cheese, no lard, no egg, no cakes, no deep fried food, no KFC etc etc etc”….. If I have to watch diet like this, I am sure I will die faster.
Take up some exercise programme, it’s really help to stay healthier and more energetic to chase after your twins! Sorry but I can’t resist myself to promote execising.
remember not to dilly dally next year….
Jason, that was when? you sure you still on the way? go check.
, but what surprise me is I only 55kg, can’t even consider “fat”.
…guess I’ll be miserable if totally cut it out.

Jefferene, you know I very lazy person, never want to exercise, if let me choose, I’ll opt to becareful of diet lor. But then I think mopping a 1000 sq ft floor is already quite a good exercise

My family eat healthy cause my MIL cook will use less oil so we less take oil at home but go out hehehe.. sure alot of oil like McD.
yalor your icon so funny and when you will blog about it i also want to try.
oh my god, I think I’m in high cholesterol now. After come to KL study, become fat and fat, my weight increase 10++kg already. I can’t control myself, I want to eat what than I go to eat. And there is a new KFC beside my hostel,
I thinks twinsmom you should know the new KFC in PJ near the 3 petrol station one. Every week sure go KFC. oh my god, please save me from high cholesterol.
wei kawan, watch out leh.. don’t play-play eh, if not u gotta pray-pray harder liao…

Douglas, oh…I know that KFC, with playground wan, been ta-bao from there few times liao. yah…KFC very fattening, but nice wor, my fav.

Shiaulin, so good on playing with words ah? hahaha…your hubby also got “vertical 6 pax”! hahaha…
I think i am in such bad shape.. i donch even dare go take a test to be honest.. ! but i am due.. arrrrghhhhh..!!!
Opps, I just have KFC yesterday. I am suppose to due for my Health Screening. Last check, I have very high good cholesterol which give me little problem.
Eat lots of fruits and vegetables w/o oil i suppose. Steam your vegetables rather than fried. Green Tea also help after an oily meal.
i the best. got only 1 pack. big one.
it’s so bad, we don’t have the chance to meet at there. hehe
I forget one thing….few years back I attended some health talk, one speaker mentioned of cutting down on carbohidrate intake (rice, bread, starchy food) can lower down the colesterol level. I can’t remember the details..but it’s something like “during the convertion of carbohidrate to sugar then to fat..the process produce colesterol”. The speaker also mentioned about cutting down on high colesterol food doesn’t help much on bringing down the colesterol level.
Maybe you can try to cut down the intake of starchy food, see works or not.
Big Bok, you lagi more need to be serious than me leh.

Jefferene, I actually don’t take a lot of rice, only half bowl every meal (twice a day), in fact I eat a lot veggie and meat, or left over from the girls and hubby. but I am quite happy with the recent result, guess I continue my recent diet i will be a lot more better. for the lard and butter, will have it once in the blue moon lar, after all masak sendiri a lot better also, can control the oil and salt.
Thanks for sharing
