Veggie Munch

I intend to start eating salad more regularly, now that my elbow is getting better. I stopped about a month ago due to my house renovation and recently, elbow bursitis. I learned about this meal plan from Dr. Tan Shot Yen. She is an advocate of raw food diet, she encourages her patient to eat 200 grams of lettuce, 1 tomato, 1 cucumber, 1 apple; with extra virgin olive oil for the dressing. For protein she suggests tofu, soya bean cake, fish or chicken. That's a one time meal/ person.

Anyone who has ever attended Dr. Tan's briefing would know that she sounds more like a drill sergeant than a doctor. She is a petite woman, with flawless skin, no acne and spots. I guess she's walking a testament of her own preaching. 

It took me more than 30 minutes to finish my meal this time. My fastest record was 20 mins and average time is 30 mins. I am not a super slow eater, but eating a big bowl of salad really does take an extra effort. 

I ate my veggies with fish crackers today, followed by a hearty dessert; a big mug of milky chocolate chip ice cream, with a delectable vanilla flavor. Something that Dr. Tan wouldn't approve hehehe.. oh well
