Nespresso. What Else?

I have a few requests to blog about the Nespresso machine. 
Nespresso is a little bit unique than other espresso machine because you need to use the nespresso capsule instead of using the coffee beans.

Nespresso ni ada banyak jenis capsules.
My favourites are Arpeggio & Roma.
Sometimes, they will come out with limited edition capsules with vanilla and caramel flavours.
Cost capsule kat sini dlm RM2-RM2.50 each.

How easy to use nespresso?
Very2 easy indeed...nak clean pun senang.
But the most important thing, their coffee mmg best.

But I love to drink latte instead of espresso.
So here are the methods:

1. Masukkan capsule

2. Press the latte button

Firstly keluar foam milk

Then the coffee

Lastly tadaaaaa!
(sengaja guna glass so u can see the latte layers)

Nak bersih, just take out compartment yg macam laci & buang used capsules

And here tempat nak refill air

And if you want to make a hot chocolate with this machine, lagi ez pz.

Press the same button, and bila part dia nak grind the coffee, press again so it will stop
Now u only get the nice tall foam milk
Then masukkan 2 tablespoons cadbury drinking chocolate

VOILA! Dah siap boss kecik!

Izz loves it very much!

~And yg ni model besar nespresso~
Most eligible bachelor. Pengsan tengok renungan mata dia.
hihi chill k DH! =P

Anyway, FYI I've read a few articles and scientific studies that coffee can prevent breast & prostate cancer. 
It also can help to prevent type 2 diabetes. Wallahualam.

He's my man...
Soft and smooth...
Melts in my mouth 
(Jgn fikir ke arah lain ye)
My WOhOO bar yg I meant is this:

....
....

The best part it's only 2 / 3 net carbs!
It makes my diet been soooooo easy!
And even u can eat this in you induction part.

Since ada a few were emailing me asking about this,
Well, here I nak cerita about my Atkins diet
I've tried a few things nak turun berat badan...
But the thing is, it's not permanent. 
So, this time, I want to try to do Atkins for life!
Actually it would be better if you buy the Atkins book and understand it fully.

Controlling Your Carbs Is The Healthy Way To Eat - for Life

When you do Atkins, you get to eat all kinds of delicious, health foods and you never need to go hungry. If your goal to slim down, you weight will go down - stedily, easily and for good. 

Doing Atkins simply means controlling the amount carbohydrates you eat. Much depends upon your metabolism, gender, age and activity level. Over time, you'll learn the amount of carbs you eat each day, but first you must learn to determine how many carbs you can consume each day to achieve your goal weight.

In the weight loss phases in Atkins, you objective is to eat as many nutrient dense carbs as you can handle and to cut out carbs that have little or no nutritional value. This means no bread, rice, pasta or anything made with added sugar. Even nutritious carb foods, such as brown rice, sweet potatoes will be off the menu until you are close to your goal weight, when most people can re-introduce them. During weight loss, you replace empty calories with a wide assortment of delicious, nutrient dense and fibre rich vegetables and protein packed foods such as poultry, eggs, fish, red meat and cheese. 

Once you have achieved and are maintaining a healthy weight, you can enjoy many of those forbidden foods in moderation. The difference is quality. Instead of empty carbohydrates in the form of worthless white flour and sugar, you'll be eating highly nutritious fruits such as strawberries, blueberries; nuts and seeds; virtually all veggies; and even moderate portions of beans and whole grains.

It is just the opposite of a fad or crash diet. It's a lifetime commitment to good nutrition and improved health, one that works easily in the 'real' world of family meals, social activities, eating in restaurants and travelling. =)

Steviana

It's been about 10 days now since I started my low-carb regime
I've lost 3 kg!
I am feeling more energetic too.
I didn't crave for nasi or mee,
But someone who is having a sweet tooth like me, I crave for a cake!

So I explored Atkins recipe and I found out I can make and eat cheesecake!
But I must use a sugar substitue
At first I thought of using Aspartame,
Then I found this new sugar substitute which is from Stevia plant!


My FIL haritu pernah cerita about this
So kebetulan I terjumpa Steviana sugar substitute dekat groceries,
Terus I SMS my FIL, and he said price kat M'sia is almost twice more expensive
Then...I terus angkut semua dekat shelves tu sampai licin!
The reason why takut susah nak cari kat tempat lain
Or maybe kat tempat lain price dia mahal

So lepas ni, we can have a cheesecake for dessert...YAY!

In case u are wondering:
Atkins diet is a low-carb diet
1st phase ni mmg tak boleh makan langsung carbs or sugar
I only can take vegetables and need to minimize up to 20 net grams carbs per day
and also can eat daging, ayam, ikan, prawns, etc
As long as takde Carbs.

Contoh my diet meal =):
