Bread Diet is Bad For You?

Hello hello! So today I want to tell you about Bread diet.

What is bread diet? Well, like the name, it simply means going on a diet by just eating bread and water. (Mostly)

Is it good or is it bad?

At first, I don't know its effects or benefits or whatever. Since it is the easy to do so, I have been doing this diet for almost 5 days now, when I suddenly realise that I haven't eaten any proteins! Yes, I ate meatballs or sausage once in a while but that is just in a very small quantity, almost like you're not eating it at all. So I searched on the net about it, and surprisingly, the top results are all bad.

 Yes, I can pretty much say that bread diet is bad for you. I mean, if you think about it with logics, carbs is the food class that people have to avoid if they want to lose weight, right? But instead, I'm eating carbs everyday although in just a small amount.

Bread makes you hungry?

I read about this in some of the sites in the net. They say that eating bread makes you feel full faster , but it can also make you feel hungry again faster. Then, when you are hungry again, you keep eating the high carb food. That doesn't seem about right, doesn't it? You'll just end up eating more than you were supposed to! In my experience, at first I don't really eat lots of bread and get hungry easily, but a few days later, I do! So I guess this facts true then. It also states that it's better to eat grainy food rather than food than was made out of grain,which is bread.

Bread might lead to diabetes?

Again, I'm still not sure about this. It just stated that eating bread is not a very good option for diabetic people and even for those who wants to lose weight. I mean  think about it , bread is sweet , right? Obviously it not only have carbs, glucose but also sugar! (Wait, isn't glucose is sugar? Haha. My bad! ) Basically what I'm trying to say here is if it's bad for diebetics people, let alone for us to eat just bread everyday. Isn't it the same? I think it is, in a way.

So, that is all. In conclusion, if you are going on a diet, please do a research first before attempting on it. Otherwise it might lead you to sickness rather than a healthy body. Choose what you eat wisely, and most importantly, don't forget to eat. You must eat. Abd also exercise regularly, of course.  Keep a healthy lifestyle all right, guys and girls! Good luck!

My dad is my lecturer??

Hello people.
It's already the first week of the 2nd sem of Foundation in Science Studies. And it's already Thursday. So far everything is going great, no massive homesick or anything, and yes lecture has begun although for the last sem, first week of the semester there were no lectures at all. But this sem, we just continued studying like the 2 months semester break never really happened. Haha.

Nothing great really happened, just normal studying week. Oh yeah except 1 ! For ELC subject(English), we have a new lecturer! And surprisingly it is a guy, middle aged but looks younger than his age. And guess what, he looks just like my dad! How awesome is that! At first I did'nt really notice it but then, I kept looking at him, laughing at his jokes when suddenly tears started to gather  my eyes as I recalled that he looks just like my dad! (I miss my dad okay, homesick :P )
So that's when I know he is going to be my fav lecturer this sem. (I hope so) And I will definitely make him remeber my name, I will, with whatever way it is I want him to remember me. (Insyaallah) hopefully for the good in me, not the bad. Hehe. Welp, 'dad', I am looking forward for our english class. See you next week!

YOGURT POMME POMME CAKE RECIPE ( YOGURT APPLE CAKE )

Hello smiling apples ! Today I want to share with you a special recipe. This is my first time making it and surprisingly it turned out very good. What is it ? well, you read it in the title. haha.

It is Yogurt Pomme Pomme Cake !

Pomme is apple in French. :)

 

I have to say this cake tastes like pancake. I don't know, but I love pancake, so I don't mind eating this. hahaha.

 

I actually got this recipe originally from Ochikeron, so go check her out ,okay!

As I always say, the recipes in this blog are always easy. Don't be surprised! Here it is.

 

 

YOGURT POMME POMME CAKE RECIPE

 

INGREDIENTS :

• 1 apple
• 1 1/2 cup plain yoghurt (or 200ml )
• 5 tablespoons sugar
• 3 tablespoons cooking oil
• 2 eggs
• 1 cup flour ( or 100g or cake flour )
• 1 teaspoon baking powder

METHOD :

1. Beat eggs in a large bowl.
2. Add sugar and mix well.
3. Add cooking oil and mix well.
4. Add yoghurt and mix well.
5. Sift in flour and baking powder and mix well.
6. Pour half of the batter into the pan. (Buttered and floured pan )
7. Peel and slice the apples.
8. Arrange the apples evenly on top of the batter.
9. Pour in the remaining batter .
10. Bake at 180degreesC (or whatever you like :P ) for 30 minutes.
11. Once cooked, let cool and then serve.

If you try to cut it while it's still hot, it may break into pieces. Ochikeron's recipe used 1 apple and 1 banana, but I just used 1 apple and it tastes good. You can use red apples but I used Green apples, so it has this sour , tart flavour, but it still tastes great! It kinda balance out the sweetness of the cake with the slightly sour apples. Good !



 





that is all, I hope you can try it. thanks for reading.

SEOUL GARDEN : HANGOUT WITH PALAMIANS





Hello people. last month, me and a few friends , PALAM friends, decided to go out and have fun! we went to Setia City Mall, which is the nearest mall from our university.

 The truth is, I didn't want to go because I was worried for the Final Exam the next week!

But my friend Mimi insisted me to go. I was in dilemma whether to go or not.

Then in last class of Physics tutorial, I got the highest mark in the class in Test 2 Physics!

 right then I decided to go out an have fun, as a reward for getting  good grade.

though it was totally unexpected. haha. but still, Alhamdulillah.  

 

enough chit chat , lemme show you some pics that I took. hehe

 

me and Mimi, one of my closest friend in PAlam

In the bus :)

 

me and sweet Masha, in Seoul Garden Restaurant

 

there were actually more friends with us, there were 6 of us. totally unplanned. but we had a great time though. :D

some 'Sushi'

 

this was my first time going to Seoul Garden and also my first time eating these Sushi kinda food. Frankly, sushi is not my kind of food. sorry. but the one with the mayonnaise was not bad. I liked that one.

 

Seoul Garden is a great place to eat when you have a group of people going together.

 If you're going to eat alone, probably a bad idea. Seoul Garden is Buffet style steamboat.

 You pay , then you can eat any amount that you want, no extra charges. which is awesome, right? but it may be a little pricey though.

a great place for celebrations or reunions or gatherings or whatever.

There is a variety of food.

From ice creams of different flavours, different kinds of desserts and beverage, beef, seafood, chicken,  sushi, rice, to salad, they have it there. so I can say it is not a waste of money, I promise.

Just make sure you enter the place with empty stomach otherwise you might barf from eating too much. haha

 

after that we went to watch The Maze Runner. my new fav action movie ever, after Hunger Games of course. hehe. Thumbs up!

 

okay, so I guess that's it.

Sorry for lack of photos. we used one of my friend's camera to take pics and I don't really have them. sorry again

 

thanks for reading.

BIOLOGY : CELL COMMUNICATION (PART 1)

hello everybody, it is BIOLOGY TIME.
(FOUNDATION IN SCIENCE STUDIES-BIOLOGY-SEM 2)

CELL COMMUNICATION (PART 1 )

Each cell responds only to certain signals, however, and ignores the rest, like a person following the conversation of a person or two individuals in a noisy, crowded room.

The location of the receptor can either be :-

1. Intracellular , for hydrophobic ligands that can cross the membrane
2. Or in the plasma membrane, for hydrophilic ligands that cannot cross the membrane.

MECHANISMS

 

A. SYNAPTIC SIGNALLING

 Chemicals synapse signalling involves

 transmission of signal molecules, called neurotransmitters,

from a neuron over a small synaptic gap to the target cell.

B. ENDOCRINE SIGNALLING

Hormones are released into the organism's circulatory system,

which carries them to the target cells.

 

C. DIRECT CONTACT

Two cells in direct contact with each other may send signals across gap junctions.

 

D. PARACRINE SIGNALLING

 

Secretions from one cell have an effect only on cells in the immediate area.

EASIEST THIN CRUST APPLE PIE RECIPE EVER !

hello you ! today I have a recipe that I want to share. it is EASY THIN CRUST APPLE PIE RECIPE !

why I'm saying this is easy? because the pie crust is just made of spring roll pastry, or 'kulit popia', which you can easily buy at supermarkets. so we only have to cook the apple pie filling and bake the pie. easy. so here's the recipe.

INGREDIENTS :
1. 2 Granny Smith apples (Green apples)
2. 2 teaspoons Cinnamon powder
3. Some cloves
4. 1/4 cup sugar
5. 2 tablespoons butter
6. 2 tablespoons orange juice ( I just used half an orange )
7. Spring roll pastry (square )
8. A bowl of water

METHOD :
1. Peel and cut the apples into small cubes.
2. In hot pan, melt butter.
3. Add apples, cloves and cinnamon powder.
4. Add sugar and orange juice.
5. Cook until the apples are soft or for about 10 minutes.
6. Let cool.
7. For thin crust, just use one piece of the pastry. For slightly thicker crust, use two ply. First, lay the pastry on flat surface. Using your finger, put a little bit of water along the edges of the pastry.
8. Put about 1 tablespoon of apple pie fillings at the middle of the pastry, avoiding the moist edges.
9. Fold the pastry to become a rectangle, just like the picture above. close the edges using your finger and some water.
10. Bake for 5 minutes. yeah, I know, very quick !

so that is all. I loved it because it's super easy to make and delicious too. hope you'll love it too. thanks for reading.
