21 Days left to my second bikini comp.
I was given the chance to travel to Phuket with my good friend and manager Sarah Lian.
Here's how i kept to staying on track with my food while on holiday.
Just follow the Ps = Plan. Prepare. Pack.. and bonus Protein.
I knew I was already travelling, so I planned out what I was going to be eating and what I could eat. From there I prepared my meals. Then I packed my food and snacks.
Pretty straight forward.
1. Prepped my meals from home. Packed them into zip lock bags. This way I was able to ensure I could still meet my macros and limit the mystery of not knowing what was used to cook meats and veggies. I also packed the snacks I know I would be able to munch on like Japanese Cucumber and I permitted myself roasted seaweed.
2. Packed on the protein. Whenever I'm out, i ensure the first thing I can get is a solid meat protein source plus veggies. I was fortunate that I have access to a restaurant / lounge where I knew I could find chicken. For those who do not, best bet is a chicken rice shop, you can get your veg and chicken.
3. I prepacked my fibre powders to avoid any gut problems
4. Eating at restaurants, first thing I look on the menu is chicken. Grilled, steamed, Baked would be good options. It's also cheaper cause seafoods are a lot more expensive.
5. WATER is your best friend. Stay hydrated so that you avoid feeling bloated, lethargic and sleepy.
6. Find a grocery / supermarket to get the good snacks. Nearby to where we were staying I know there was a Tesco available. I'd recommend for to go there and get fruits, nuts like almonds will fill you up good, if you must go for dark choco.
Quick update on life and my thoughts on comp.
Lots happened in the past week. Went for some athletic rehab which I wanna share with you in the next video. I rested a lil bit more cause muscles were overly tight, from lack of stretching and rest. Plus the big news which i didn't get to reveal on OCT 30 was, last Friday was my last day on the station I dedicated my time to for the past 4 years. The video of that will be in the next vlog.

[10 REASONS WHY ASIANS DON'T GET FAT]
Now of course, there are Asians who are fat or chubby, so the title is a bit of a generalized statement or stereotype, but as a whole, there's definitely some truth to it. Genetics is an obvious factor so I'm gonna leave that one off the list.
1. Fish & Seafood
Asians eat a lot of seafood. The biggest benefit to eating fish is the omega-3 fatty acids. Fish gives our brain and body the DHA & EPA it needs. EPA in particular has been shown to prevent obesity. 1.5 to 2 grams daily of fish oil can produce weight loss of a couple pounds over a period of a month.
2. Cooking Methods
If you compare Western and Asian eating habits, sure they both consume deep fried foods, but Asian countries vary their cooking methods a lot more.
3. Food Perception
How people see and experience food can be different depending on where you are. In America, for example, food is seen more as entertainment. There is desire, joy and anticipation associated with eating. Not that it isn't in Asian countries, but it's a lot more toned down. Eating has more of a practical feel, in many cases closer to being a chore rather than entertainment.
4. Portion Size
Asians eat smaller portions. Food is often served in small serving bowls and small plates and this helps regulate how much is consumed in one sitting. Now if we take a look at America? SUPERSIZE!
5. Leafy Greens
Asian portion size in general might be smaller, but their vegetable portion size is consistently larger. In many Asian countries, people don't even need to be reminded to eat their veg. It's just ingrained.
6. Drink Habits
It is a common belief that drinking water, especially cold water, with your meal is a habit that one should avoid, as it dilutes your digestive enzymes and makes it harder for your stomach to digest food. Americans often drink cold water or sodas with their meals, not so much for Asian people however. Rather they drink hot teas before or after a meal. I should note that many experts say this is greatly exaggerated and that it's generally ok to drink water with your meals.
7. Population Density
Many Asian countries & cities are densely populated. There are lots of people living in small apartments and almost everything you need is just round the corner. Leading one to possibly conclude that many Asian people must exert less energy in their daily lives. In actuality, Asian people in this circumstance may end up walking more. With everything being in close proximity, they are more inclined to just walk to their destination, whereas in many Western countries, distances are often too great.
8. Fermented Foods
Asians consume more fermented foods such as miso, natto, tempeh, kimchi, kombucha, etc, and this is not just good for your gut health, but helps reduce the overall inflammation in the body. And inflammation is a contributing factor to weight gain and obesity.
9. Snacks & Desserts
This one's quite simple. Asian snacks, healthy, Western snacks, not so much. Asian snacks and desserts may be rice cakes, red beans, seaweed snacks, nuts, seeds, and lots of fruit. For Western snacks and desserts, you have cookies, chips, ice cream, sugary cakes.
10. Prevention vs Treatment
Asians practice prevention, while others practice treatment. With the Western approach, you have your antibiotics, antacids, NSAIDs, quick, temporary, remedies that might actually hurt you in the long run. The Asian approach attempts to get to the root of the problem using nutrition, healthy habits, prevention practices. It's a societal mindset. Health is not simply the absence of sickness.
