By the way for those of you who are in the Philippines particularly in Manila, do you know of any restaurant that doesn't serve rice or bread on some of their menus? I know this sounds crazy as carbs (esp white rice) is the main staple of Asian diet but I'm cutting back on starchy carbs as I'm into cutting phase (fat loss phase) & its really a challenge for me to find any good restaurants here. Not to mention that I also have carb intolerance so as much as possible I only eat rice & bread either on breakfast or after a heavy weight lifting session. Normally I don't have any problem with that when I'm at home however its a different story when I'm out. I do bring my own food at work but I eat them at breakfast since I eat lunch very late & by that time my food will be already cold.
EDIT: I mostly eat at Kenny Rogers (their classic healthy plate that has no rice) or KFC (salads) but aside from those two I don't know of any cheap restaurants. Although I work in an Italian resto here in Manila & we do have salads but our foods are pricey so I only buy our stuff whenever I have extra money. I'm not a fan of Jollibee so that's out of the question.0 -
Hello! Feel free to add me too! I'm having a hard time following my calorie goal. Lately I'm managing to reach the 1200goal but I've been eating the same stuff for a month?! lol
So I was hoping I could spy on your food diary to pick up a few tips!

Greetings from the Bronx! I grew up in Manila and transferred to US five years ago. I was already overweight then but easily gained 40 lbs from eating american sized portions of fries hamburgers etc. I would like to motivate (and be motivated) by a fellow pinoys struggling with weight.0

I'm not Filipino but my husband is. I cant speak tagalog (only basic) but my favorite food is Sinigang na baboy (soo good!) I'm always active on MFP and love Filipinos. I love the culture, the... everything (hotness). I am also very good at cooking the food, which is crazy...
Thanks 0 -

I'm Pinoy. Born in Los Angeles. Now living in San Diego. Married w/ 3 kids. Just start MFP last week and lovin' it. Trying to lose 50+ pounds or need to get taller. Hehe...
Hard to be Filipino and on a diet. Too much good food. My faves are kari-kari, lechon kuwali and of course, rice! Kamayan style is the way to go!! Eating healthier now but still miss the good stuff.
Starting working out 30+ minutes a day on the treadmill. Also, taking Escrima twice a week. Before this, my only exercise was watching TFC and going to the casino. : )
