Hi,MM. You might want to try some vegan resto– there’s one in Timog area. Just recently been there. Enjoyed there spinach soup,three for all platter, sheperd’s pie, sisig and lassi. All these are vegan dishes. Goodluck!

And in case you want a bit of departure from this, Gourmet magazine from January 2006 on page 90 reprised a favorite from the year 69 (which in of itself is not a bad number) Menâ€™s Favorite Salad, a really delicious coleslaw dressed with mayonaise and cottage cheese that you can make in a big batch and eat as is in unlimited quantity or use to flank thickly sliced smoked turkey breast or mixed with left-over fried chicken for a nice and different filling for pita. Menâ€™s Health pointed out that cabbage along with guavas are two of the ten food items we should be eating a lot of but do not although personally I would hesitate on the guavas, really I would.

MM, don’t foget to exercise. I don’t mean kill yourself in the gym, but 30 minutes of walking a day, at least, could help boost your weight loss.

I lost a lot of weight eating adobong kangkong and papaya. And yes, with rice. Sometimes I would have tofu with oyster sauce. The diet wasn’t as punishing and it worked. I also went on a crazy peanut butter sandwich diet. That’s all I ate for 2 weeks. I lost 12 pounds on this diet.

Hi Marketman, your pictures will also serve as an inspiration to us who want to diet/have to diet/are dieting that even if the food they eat are low on calories, they can still look good and appetizing :)

i agree with you MM on soup. I love soups. The first sip always hits the spot. You could lose weight faster if you coupled your healthy eating with some cardio activity like badminton or just simply walking.
