some of you who really known me for years like 7 years and more would somehow relate my eating habits to that of a black hole or a rubbish bin.. simple because i just keep eating and eating mostly junk while at it.. ok fine i admit im like that at times but its only during certain times and periods.. usually this characteristic is tamed down during fasting month cos sleeping time always clash with eating time and such..
and due to the fact that you didnt ate for more than half of the day earlier, my stomach is rather weak and bloated to digest much food.. and there is the water issue, whether you wanna eat or you wanna drink cos it can get thirsty and dehydrating.. anyway yeah, the reason why i can be such rubbish bin is totally understandable.. i am in fact my father's son.. and i got evidence that he is just like me, actually far far more dangerous than me in fact..
he went to buy chapati to break fast with, *thats break fasting ah, and not breakfast as many of my non muslims friends interpret* so i decided to share it with him and ok ah, he bought, he bought like 20 pieces! and told me that each of us will have 10 pieces to eat.. and im like "isnt that alot?" and he was like, no lah ok ah, later at night or early morning can eat again..
so ok ah, i broke my fast, ate like 3 and i was really full after that.. so i left with what? 7. ok chapati is like tortilla but the flour is different, it uses whole grain wheat flour which means, its considered a low glycemic index food.. meaning what? sugar, glucose are absorbed into the blood stream slower as compared to a higher glycemic index food.. such examples are like white rice or 100 plus drinks..
its eaten for that "instantenous" energy surge and yeah, it makes you full for a shorter time.. chapati on the other hand, is like a "slow digesting" food thus you feel full longer.. yeah so we break fast, i stop at 3 but my dad went on with like 5 pieces or more.. then i went for my prayers and i came back around 11.45pm and he was eating chapati again.. so he asked me if i want him to left me some remainders and i said yeah, .. guess how many pieces he left me with?? 2, 2 pieces.. that means out of 20 pieces he bought, i ate 3, left with 17 and out of that, he ate 15 pieces within a time frame of 4 and half hours..
ok that is just scary ah, i still remembered that we each ate like 7 pieces under a single meal sitting once at geylang but that was it.. any more and you just BOOM! but man, 15 pieces before midnight.. amazing eh? lol so yeah, go figure!
