Alfalfa Sprouts



Eating pizza is one thing that I just can't resist. Obviously, I have got a big, big appetite and you can see that mostly on my prior blog entries. Anyhoo, this delicious-looking pizza is from Uncle Cheffy. I can hardly recall of its exact name but it's one of the store's best selling pizza flavors. Actually, nothing special about the taste but since I'm a heavy veggie lover, I really appreciated having this on my plate. It has lettuces, mushrooms and tomatoes. If my memory serves me right, it has alfalfa sprouts too. It was my first time to have some alfalfa sprouts in my entire life so I googled about it right after. According to Healthy Eating website, alfalfa sprouts contain certain vitamins and minerals such as calcium, vitamin K and vitamin C. Aside from that, alfalfa sprouts also help in reducing the risk of cancer and heart disease. In 1997, alfalfa sprouts have been link to E.Coli and Salmonella that may cause nausea, vomiting and abdominal spain so it's best to wash them thoroughly under running water for two minutes and allow them to dry before consuming. The alfalfa sprouts are best toppings for burgers, pastas and even pizzas. It helps in enhancing the flavor and adding up some nutrients.

Life Changing Experience



All I ever think about is F-O-O-D. It's something that I just can't get rid out of my system. Sometimes I want to suppress my appetite but I just can't. It's too hard when you have great love for food. No wonder why I've gained so much weight during my HS years. I was teased by many because I was fat. But it became one of my motivations to lose weight. I enrolled in an aerobics class and refused to eat anything that's fattening. I've shed off some pounds and I am quite happy with my figure now. It was indeed a life-changing experience for me.

But I have to admit that I am starting to eat a lot again. I've been eating fastfoods lately but I really am trying to control myself. It's hard when eating is really your passion. But whenever I remember the times when people criticized me because of my figure, i can't help but cry sometimes. I have to stop my bad eating habits as early as now because I might regret it later on.
