Before moving to the land of smiles, I would always hear people talking about the healthy food I would be enjoying, once I sat foot here. Although its certainly true that a lot of the food you get here is healthy, the truth is, that a lot of it isn't. In the first 10 months or so of my new life in this wonderful place I gained quite some weight, and honestly I'm not to pleased about the fact.
While I was living in my native Denmark, my passion for cooking and my knowledge of the local ingredients, made eating healthy a task that I could manage while still enjoying my favorite pastime - eating! In Europe we're constantly bombarded with messages about how to lose those extra kilos and look 10 years younger. So you're not even able to miss the info on what to eat and when - even if you try! After rapidly gaining weight (as you probably know already, the temptations is everywhere in Thailand!) I started my search for the same information here in Thailand as the availability of produce and products is very different here. Even though I tried hard, I had a hard time coming across anything useful. Therefore I took the initiative to this blog, to share with you, all the information I can gather as to help you reach your goal, whether its weight loss or a better looking physic - or both.
I will be focusing on a diet low in carbs and high in veg and lean protein. As I have a western kitchen, I will also be cooking both western food and Thai food with the locale produce. though I recognize that most of my readers wont have that luxury and therefore, I will direct a lot of my focus to the healthy stuff available on the street food market as well.
