MY FAVORITE FOOD

By
So my favorite food of all time is pasta (spaghetti to be precise). Now I don't just love any kind of spaghetti, I like spaghetti prepared to my taste. I generally don't like stew, so any food with stew (rice and stew, beans and stew, etc) I'm not a fan of; I prefer gravvy or sauce (more on that later). So back to pasta... For spaghetti, I prefer it "jollof" or stir-fried. For jollof I prepare it same as jollof rice (but sometimes without tomatoes and it works really well). For the stir-fried I usually use cabbage and carrots as the main veggies and add anything else. Other types of pasta like macaroni, twists, etc. I prefer stir-fried. RECIPES JOLLOF SPAGHETTI  INGREDIENTS  Spaghetti  Any protein of choice (chicken, beef, egg, fish, sausage, shrimps,etc) Onoins Tomatoes (fresh or tin or both) Vegetable oil  Pepper (red or yellow bell peppers or chilli flakes/powder) Salt Ginger Garlic (optional) Seasoning  Veggies (carrot, green peas, celery...

DIGESTION PHASES

By
So about 2 months ago I visited my godmother who's a nutritionist, and in her usual way she started talking about my weight 😒. Anyway, while talking about weight loss she mentioned a method she uses with her clients to help them loose weight and keep off the lost weight. It's not a diet exactly, it's based on what she called the "Phases of Digestion" I think, can't exactly remember. So basically there are three phases of digestion, and the body digests food differently in each phase. Elimination Phase (4am-12pm): this takes place between 4am nd 12pm. During this period the body is basically eliminating waste in preparation for the next phase. In order to help this process one should eat fruits, foods high in fibre, whole foods... basically anything that aids waste elimination. So breakfast shouldn't be really heavy foods like rice and stuff because the body isn't ready for the heavy stuff yet. Optimization Phase (12pm-6:30/7pm):  at this point th...
