How does this picture make you feel? Bright, warm thrust from the sunshine, quenched by the juicy fruits and fresh veggies on the plate. I was by the street in #dubrovnik #Croatia, where #kindslanding gets its majestic scenes.

Yet the #dubrovnikoldtown in real life was just another little town reflecting local's lives in Europe. It has got much more tourist traffic and buzz. But sitting by a restaurant on the street watching passengers coming and go, peeking the delicious food on the next table, capturing the fresh delightful moment of a day in Dubrovnik, is such a pleasant #nostalgic memory.

Scanning through memories like this makes me feel relaxed, positive, and hopeful, that life has its flow, fluidity, and its own way. 

When at the peak, enjoy the present. When at the bottom, keep it going. 

An uptick turn will come.

A #healthyeating lifestyle to lose weight is not about restricting food or restricting calories. It's about eating the right foods that fuel and nurture your body, mind and soul. The best eating lifestyle for YOU is one that includes foods that your body recognizes and able to use to fuel and nurture your body and soul. Foods should be something you enjoy and makes you feel good physically and mentally. Many people, especially women, develop poor relationships with food consciously and subconsciously through years of diet to achieve the body image they think will get them what they want - the attention from the opposite sex, approval from well-meaning relatives, protection, punishment, etc. Remember, no food is off limit, even the bad ones, because you have CHOICES. Making bad choices does not make you a bad person, low life, loser, or stupid. It only shows you're human. A overly restricted diet created bad relationship with food, because every time you deviate from your strict dietary rules, it lowers your #selfesteem because you've broken a rule. The Look Good Feel Good Lifestyle eating plan allows you to have "bad food" when you want. They are available, but not recommended. Knowing you have choices is freedom. And you already know the more you are not allowed to have something, the more you want it. So stop that by allowing yourself choices and having an empowering conversation with yourself. Ask yourself, "does this food get me closer to my health or life goals?" "How does this food make me feel?" "Is there something else I can do to get the same feeling?" or "I can have pizza, but I love how I look in my skinny jeans more." Or "I can have chocolate, but I love having clear blemish-free skin even more." Or "I can have a small slice of pie if I want, and it's okay."

First of all, are you really hungry? Or are you having a bad day? Hunger can be trigger by either psychological stress or physiological needs. Psychologically, stress, anxiety, feeling lonely, depressed, and angry can be huge triggers for binge eating even though you're not hungry. And physiologically, hunger may be triggered by poor digestion, and/or a diet loaded with ultra-processed foods that are empty calories. You may seem like you're eating a lot of food, but no real nutrients actually get into the body, leaving your body hungry for more "nutrients". Learn to pay attention to your body's hunger signals and eat real food that fits your body.

90% of Weight Loss Effort Fails because most people often go back to the old habits that's familiar to them. How do you create permanent lifestyle change to keep the weight off? Make the unfamiliar new habit familiar. Make one simple change and commit to doing it for the next 21 days. For example, drink 2 cups of lemon water first thing waking up in the morning. That way, you're already 16oz ahead of your water drinking goal.

What Weight Loss Journey Really Looks Like? The social media and advertising everywhere tells you how easy to lose 10 pounds or even 20lbs in a week, 2 weeks or a month, right? The diet culture also hypnotize us to think that anytime you need to lose a few pounds, simply cutting back on calories to maintain a calorie deficit, the extra body fat will melt away like butter on a hot plate. Nope... The reality is most people, especially women don't lose weight like that. Calorie deficit and starvation model assumes the human body is like a bucket pour in pour out. The human body is a very complicated biochemical machine driver by hormones, biology and psychological factors. Most people give up on their weight loss effort too early too soon because they have a distorted expectations. They think their weight will plummet at the start of the starvation diet like they see in social media and advertising. But the reality is that their weight may fluctuate a while before actual weight loss happen. However, most people would have given up before the weight loss start, which would be 1-2 months. Instead of focusing on the number on the scale, focus on your mood and energy level. Because these are what will carry you through the rest of the weight loss journey. Chasing an external factor will never bring your satisfaction and happiness. Weight loss is a healing process for the body, mind and soul that takes time and patience. It is a self-love and self-discovery journey as well. Take your time and enjoy the enjoy.

Food is not Your Therapy When you're angry, anxious, upset, depressed, bored, stay out of the kitchen or pantry. Binge eating when stress makes you feel good while you're binge eating but left you feeling more depressed and upset after the fact. Instead, Go for a walk Talk to someone Do some yoga Take a bath or shower Go for a swim Sing Dance Journal Meditate And scream, if you really want. Doing any of these will increase your dopamine, endorphins, serotonin and oxytocin to make you feel better without calories and dangerous food chemicals. Research also shows that exercise can be as good or even better than antidepressant.

How do I know if I ate Too Much? We are born intuitive eaters. This is why it's so easy for babies to eat when they're hungry and stop when they're full. But as we get older, many of us lose touch with our hunger and fullness from years of mindless eating based on external rules rather than internal cues. A tool that is very helpful to re-connect you with your internal body cues is the hunger and fullness scale. The hunger fullness scale translates your hunger and fullness sensation on a visual scale of 1 to 10. "1" being starving/ravenous "hangry" state, and "10" being stuffed to the point of feeling sick. When you start feeling hungry and thoughts of food started appearing (a "3"), it's a good time to start deciding on what to eat. This is when you are still capable of making sound, healthy choices for your body. Then eat slowly until you're comfortably full or not hungry anymore (between a "5" or a "6"). We want to feel nourished, energized, and satiated, not stuffed. Before you start eating, ask yourself if you're physically hungry. If not, what is your feeling at that moment, and why you're feeling that way. Emotional or stress eating is a learned behavior that can be unlearned, but it starts with recognizing it. Learning to eat mindfully will help you achieve that.

Eating is Complicated Eating is physiological, psychological, social, and cultural. Advising people to simply eat less and exercising more to lose weight is just naive and ignorant. And that's exactly what I've been taught to do in nutrition school. But I'm now smarter and more informed because I've seen patients after patients failed to lose weight with the conventional nutrition advice because we're not addressing their individual biology, psychological needs, social situations, and cultural influence. And when the patients failed, we simply say, "they just don't have the willpower." I know it's not fair. And that's the reason why I started this wellness blog to provide real health and nutrition advice backed by real science, not made-up recommendations by the food industries. Just saying...

Saw this new patient today. She and her husband did the "keto" diet last month before coming to see me because she tried everything and nothing works. She said she lost 4lbs in a month doing the keto diet and her husband lost 10lbs eating the exact same way. She got discouraged because her husband lost 10lbs and she only lost 4lbs. Did you know if she stays on this diet for a year, she'd have lost 52 pounds? So be realistic and stay focus on your results, not other's. PS: the "keto meal plan" she downloaded from the internet was not a real keto diet. It's just a healthy diet with lots of fresh ingredients and no processed foods. That's it.

Enjoying a lovely coffee on the run at work! I used to drink soy milk in coffee not because I had to but because I was told it was better for you and full cream milk was unhealthy, I would actually pretend to like soy milk when in reality I absolutely hated the taste but I was told that’s what I need to have to be “healthy”. I started to hate things I used to enjoy because I was trying to change them and force myself to like something I just didn’t! Now I have my coffee with whatever milk I want, and you know what? I am so much happier doing that! If you love soy milk then that’s great or any other kind of milk for that fact, than go and drink as much as you want, but if you are only drinking it because you are told it’s better for you and you actually hate it then take a second to revaluate your reasoning.

If you've been struggling with weight loss while eating a low-calorie and low-fat diet, it's time to add fat back into your diet. Most people today are still following the low-calorie low-fat diet recommendations from the '80s. A calorie deficit diet leaves your cravings for bad food, pushes down your metabolism, and mess up your body hormonal signaling over time making weight loss harder and harder to achieve. By adding healthy fats back, you increase your calorie intake, which in turn increases your metabolism. You also train your body to learn to burn fat again. If you've been following a calorie deficit low-fat diet, chances are your body has gotten used to burning carbs as energy. Adding healthy fats back re-train your body to burn fat as energy, which facilitates burning fat for weight loss. No, this is not a keto diet. Don't believe me, add 1 tsp coconut oil with each meal. Coconut oil is rich in medium-chain fat, so it's great for people with poor digestion. This is what happens when my patients added healthy fats to their diet, they lose weight and their acne clears up.
