Change Now, or never.

Semangat nak change my diet now. 

No Dairy Product. (Dairy Milk, Cheese, Chocolates)

No Processed Food. (Sausages, Nuggets, Junks, Canned Foods, Maggie)

No Fast Food (bye KFC ku, bye snack plate, bye spicy chicken McDeluxe, bye Prosperity, French Fries)

No Dairy Yogurt (BYE TUTI FRUTTI :( )

No Caffein (ok i try to limit my intake, i couldnt stop bcoz i'l get migraines, so i try to limit from 1 cup a day to 1 cup every 4days only) 

No Chickens (kalau nak jugak i will find ayam kampung)

No Deep Fried Food (no goreng pisang, cekodok, ayam goreng) berminyak! 

No MEAT: Cows nowadays are given hormone shots to make them grow quickly, same goes to chicken. (ok maybe, susah nak void, kalau raya ke semua, tapi kena cuba KURANGKAN)

No Soy Product.

No Candies!

Sounds like there is nothing left to eat right?

There are options! 

Kalau tak cari, macam mana nak tau?

Dairy alternatives: Goats Milk, Rice Milk, Almond Milk, Oat Milk (NOT SOY)

Junks alternatives: Dont know -____- oat biscuits? duhh

Fast Food alternatives: i dont know, im thinking about it.

Caffein: Look for Decaf Coffees.

Chickens: selain ayam yg dijual di pasaran yang bersuntik, boleh cari ayam kampung, or KAMBING.

er kambing disuntik tak?

IKAN! hari2 makan ikan! ikan sedap! :D

Yogurt: Its hard to find Goat's Yogurt so better give up yogurt terus.

Cheese: Goat Cheese is available in Cold Storage and according to a friend, it is MUCH tastier than dairy cheese.

Calcium: Sayur2an banyak calcium, rice milk and almond milk ada calcium, banyak lagi source lain.

and i found Rice Milk at Cold Storage. Bought it for RM12. (agak pricey but tak mengapa!sihat!)

it is made from Brown Rice! WOW! sedap! NO Sugar added tapi rasa manis2 bali+soya. im loving it! 

Okay maybe memanglah sangat susah utk avoid benda2 yang kita hari2 pernah makan. So i think i'll change slowly, ala mcm nak berhenti merokok la, kalau org berhenti merokok serta merta kan akan sakit! jadi kita kurangkan, dan lama2 akan biasa :) 

I already void nescafe for 4 days, malam tadi migrain sampai pagi :( makan panadol tak jalan.

jadi masuk je ofis, terus try minum nescafe 2 teguk terus hilang pening serta-merta.

aduh mcm penagih dadah :(

takpe, i'll try that way. lama2 akan biasa without nescafe.

What else?

Consume Honey hari2. madu sihat. Sunnah Rasulullah.

Go cycling every weekend with hubby+friends! 

Ok why la for all of this?

Despite TTC, let's change our diet to get healthy life.

My Doc said faktor pemakanan zaman skang yang menaikkan statistik pompuan tak subur. 

Dan BANYAK penyakit.

So jangan cari penyakit.

ps: kalau ada resipi2 makanan sihat untuk dikongsi, dipersilakan lah! :)

Happy Weekend, Ladies <3

MILK - Jangan Salah Faham

Alamak, ramai salah faham ni, ok first i will answer each and every comments below HERE on this new entry.

From what I've read from the internet, first things first, yang tak bagus untuk kita yang TTC hanya LOW-FAT MILK.
Whole Milk or Full cream milk or Goat's Milk is fine. Goat's Milk is the best, anyway. 

Source here from Reduced Fertility In Women Linked To Low Fat Dairy Food

"The study showed that women who ate more than two portions a day of low fat dairy foods were 85 per cent more likely to be infertile due to ovulatory disorders than those who only ate it less than once a week."

The researchers concluded that "High intake of low-fat dairy foods may increase the risk of anovulatory infertility whereas intake of high-fat dairy foods may decrease this risk".

ok means that, boleh minum but not EVERYDAY. once a week may not harm ovulation. 

and i dont believe on only one source, i've searched more. that's why i believed, because from what i only 'heard', low-fat milk is what they promoted the best for our health, and dari aku kawin aku pun minummm la susu lowfat assuming calcium yang ada tu untuk membantu pembentukan tulang nanti kalau dah pregnant, we all know calcium tu penting utk tulang, tapi taktau pulak when Fat is Removed from MILK, the milk will become useless and will mess-up our hormones! (source here: Fertility Diet) dan a few links on my previous entry.

jadi, untuk selamat minum je full cream milk.

nak teruskan minum low-fat, boleh but as long as it doesnt affect your menstruation. kalau selama ni period OK je, subur je, then i think boleh je minum. dont just get convinced on what i just wrote because aku pun membaca je, bukan aku yang buat kajian tu pun. 

so dont go tell everyone, Jay yang kata low-fat tu tak elok! hehehehe

About what i read about Dairy product. we all know dairy tu ialah sumber tenusu dari LEMBU.

and, the benefit of what's claimed from our cow's milk industry is MYTH. 

READ THIS: Dangers of Milk and Dairy Product - The Facts

jadi there are two topics here: LOW FAT MILK & DAIRY PRODUCTS.

If full cream milk is better, it is still a dairy product, so if any dairy product termasuk Cheese, Butter, Yogurt, semua yang dari susu lembu pun tak elok, means full cream pun tidak baiklah?
Sementara belum jumpa source yang sahih, i just assumed that whoever not TTC, can go ahead with dairy. but yang TTC with these issue: PCOS, Ovulation disorder, Cyst, better void all dairy products. There are lots of alternatives selain Dairy Product. the key is to find out yourself. Well, ini salah satu usaha. usaha doesnt mean spend duit for medications, treatments, IUI, IVF, tapi dari segi pemakanan taknak usaha lansung and hantam semua benda. 

sebenanya up to us, nak ikut ke tak, if u think that none of these have affected your life, weight, kandungan gula, ovulation, then takpe lah can move on. dont just freak out on what i write here, (i am freaked out on what i found out myself too) hahaha...jadi banyak baca and u can ask your doctor. i asked my doctor last year, she said YES low fat milk CAN HARM OVULATION. but full cream wont harm. and we have to drink milk for calcium & vitamin D.
and she also said, Susu kambing itu lebih baik dari lembu but she didnt say WHY.

jadi kalau banyak tanya lagi consultation tu bukan free beb, jadi balik dan baca dekat internet untuk cari jawapan, internet is free :P consultation kena bayar.

To answer your confusions: 

Nanoke: omg! aku tetiap hari minum susu low fat.. tak HL, Dutch lady... hiskhisk... x sangke.. Hi-goat je la lps ni...

- Kalau ada PCOS - susah ovulate - period tak betul - insulin resistant - better switch to Hi-Goat je la hehe! 

tapi kalau period semua ok, boleh je low-fat tu tapi takleh selalu kot! better full cream then low-fat.  

Puan K: laa.. yeke? K ni dok blajar2 la minum susu.. sebab ada yang suruh minum susu kalau nak preggy.. sebelum ni memang tak minum susu...anyway, thanks for the info jay~ ;) so, tak yah la minum susu lagi dh, layan Hi-goat je...

-depends on your condition, if u are not a PCOS, period normal cuma susah nak lekat je then boleh je kot minum low-fat, but Full Cream is better. khasiat semua ada dalam tu. kalau Hi-Goat lagi lah baik sebab Susu Kambing is MUCH MUCH better than lembu.

Sweet Tooth: TQ for sharing Jay... akak ni memang penggemar susu tegar. Dah tambah satu knowledge baca ur blog :-)

-Saya pun penggemar susu tegar jugak! hehe, jadi bila saya tau lowfat tu tak elok, saya switch to FULL CREAM. please dont get confused, SUSU full cream is fine if u dont have menstrual/ovulation issue. 

tapi bila sy tau je Dairy product dari Lembu pun tak elok, aduh gigih la cari susu kambing. walaupun mahal tapi definitely its the best milk. Rasulullah SAW pun minum susu kambing dan ia adalah Sunnah. so for the sake of to get a healthy life & ovulation, ikutlah apa yang disyorkan oleh Rasulullah SAW :) 

S: aku minum. ok, in fact aku belasah je susu jenis ape pun kalo tekak teringin. sbbnye susu kambeng tekak aku tak leh pegi la. aisehhhh... kite wat milo je la pas ni

-milo pun kene letak susu beb. unless minum milo O la..hehehe..boleh minum susu laa..mcm ko dah sah2 la kena, ko pregnant! aku harap ko taksalah faham, LOW FAT je yang tak elok tu sbb bila FAT dah removed, khasiat2 lain dalam susu tu jadi useless sebab good FAT dalam susu tu yang jadi agent utk absorbed semua2 khasiat & vitamin dalam susu. minum je fullcream, tak gemok punya. :P Susu kambing aku minum sedap je sbb yg dlm paket tu, kalau yg fresh tu mmg yuck sket lah.. hehehehe

Sizuka: oh ye ker.. sy hari2 gigih jer minum susu low-fat tuh. sbb sy pernah terbaca yg susu boleh membantu ovulasi... wallahua'lam...

- boleh share dari mane yg sizuka baca tu? susu ada banyak jenis, maybe not low-fat milk sebab yang saya baca seluruh internet ni, saya cuba cari ada tak source yang mengatakan low-fat tu membantu ovulation, but there are none. 

----

ok seems like there is a lot of confusion including me! hahaha...i will read more and share with you, tapi sama2 lah kita cari jugak, takot tersalah info and salah faham, aku kang dikatakan memandai-mandai. 

lagipun Susu memang banyak jenis ( Skimmed, Full Cream, Low Fat, Pasteurized, Goat's Milk, Almond Milk, Rice Milk SOY milk), yang mana baik atau tak baik je kita kena tau. 

hope this explains. :) 

Siapa Minum Low-Fat Milk?

Anyone of you TTC ladies, yang susah nak conceive after few treatments, yang minum low fat milk?
Kalau ada, STOP NOW.

i've post an entry about this 2years ago tapi seems like dulu2 yang baca pun my close-friends je, yang juga TTC mase tu, tapi ada yang dah pregnant, and ada yang takde mase nak bace blog. so when i decided to Publicly share my blog to others, i think i should share again once more, the truth about Low Fat Milk. 


HERE http://findingtwolines.blogspot.com/2010/08/mari-bacagood-info-is-milk-affecting.html 
my previous entry. i got the info from Naturally Knocked Up created by a lady named Donielle. she struggled from infertility for a few years, done her research, and cure herself using Natural treatment. that's why i say Knowledge is Power! :D 
Regarding this Low-Fat Milk issues, i remembered the moment i found it was because of i was looking for Goat's Milk benefit, tapi benda lain yang jumpa. which i was amazed, and never heard of. 


here some snippets from Donielle's website:

Avoid Low-fat Milk

The problem is, it seems our bodies need fat in order to maintain our cellular structure. And removing the fat from milk has actually been shown to cause an imbalance of hormones throughout the body, causing a failure to ovulate or produce a healthy egg. In a recent study, scientists found that women who ate full fat dairy were found to have a 27% lower risk of infertility. Women who ate low fat milk products twice a day were found to be twice as likely to not ovulate. This study shows that eating healthy fats, as are in milk, is helpful in reproduction.
---

Then i've read somewhere that the FAT in MILK are GOOD FAT. Lemak Baik. without it, the milk will be useless sebab lemak baik tu bertugas untuk transport all the nutritions to our body. 

Aku masih skeptikal gila tau pasal benda ni, terus aku tanya auditor2 tempat aku yang pernah audit kilang susu. oh fyi, im working at SIRIM. so that's why im surrounded with auditors. ISO auditors. 

jadi aku tanya auditor ni yang penah audit HACCP dekat kilang Dutch Lady. katanya, 

"Memanglah low fat tu tak elok. kau tau mcm mana diorang buat low fat milk tu? Susu biasa, campur air. Jadi lah low fat. tu je, susu tu jadi cair. So nutrition jadi kurang lah, baik kau minum air kosong je"

dan aku google tentang kenapa masyarakat kita disuruh minum LOW FAT? Kenapa semua orang kata kena minum low fat utk sihat dan bukannya full cream.

katanya itu memang politics of the industry.

"We’re consistently told by the USDA and dietitians that skim milk and low fat milk are the healthiest choices, and probably not by coincidence, this is exactly what the dairy industry wants us to believe. This is because the cream that’s extracted from whole milk to reduce its fat content can be used for other dairy products and therefore generate more profit from the same quantity of milk."

Aku pun tak pasti dimanakah kesahihan benda ni, tapi kalau betul2 kite study, lemak dalam susu memang lemak baik. -tapi aku taktau kegunaan lemak baik dalam susu tu, rupanya lemak utk bantu transport calcium, vitamin D, dan smua nutrien2 lain, without lemak baik dari susu, susu tu jadi USELESS. 

PCOS mcm aku ni, takboleh minum dairy products dari Lembu. susu kambing, fine. almond milk fine (just knew about almond milk) need to google more about this. but dairy dari lembu, akan membuatkan kandungan gula kite lagi cepat naik, dan menyebabkan kita yang insulin resistant ni more resistant to insulin sebab insulin kita makin bertambah2 tapi takleh nak absorb gula & khasiat2 lain. Tambah lagi, dia akan mess-up kan lagi hormon badan. 
Dr Delaila once told me, "if u are insulin resistant, apa yang u makan, semua tak serap. termasuk supplements, clomid, wateva"

so gigih la kite dok telan supplement macam2 tapi rupenye for nothing. 
This is for Insulin Resistance PCOS-er je tau. mungkin yang takde PCOS dan hormon normal, boleh minum susu lowfat just that u have to know that susu itu adalah useless without the Fat. 
The best choice of dairy ialah dari Kambing. so susu kambing, cheese dari goat's milk, yogurt dari susu kambing je boleh utk kita, wont harm our system. Susu kambing is the closest to susu ibu.
dan for the sake of Calcium, because we Do need calcium, selain dari susu, ada calcium tablet, dan calcium juga banyak dari sayur2an mcm spinach, brocolli, etc.


what makes me stress is, i could NOT live without nescafe, dan caffein destroy khasiat susu yang kite minum, baik yg tak low fat, yg susu kambing pun sama. JADI MACAM MANAAAA
dah 2 hari aku takminum nescafe, aku cuba kan jugak. 
tapi mata aku mengantok gila walaupun cukup tido, kepala aku pening.
tadi aku takleh tahan sebab nak buat keje. 
akhirnya aku buat nescafe balik :(
dan skang mata aku segar bugar.

Ok kalau RAJIN, baca ni The Disadvantage of Low-Fat Milk

"”A study at Harvard found that women who ate two or more servings of low-fat or non-fat dairy per day, like skim milk or yogurt, had 85% higher risk of infertility than those that ate full-fat dairy products.” 
-Chris Kresser, in response to this study"

ini semua research dari Doctors, kalau doctor2 tu tipu, maknanya aku pun tipu lah. -___- 

well, study urself for ur own satisfaction, and if u get any other answer, please share with me because this is confusing sometimes, skejap ada kate Low Fat milk tu ok. Ada yang kata Full Cream lebih baik. ada kata Full cream pun tak bagus kalau ia dari Lembu. kena cari yang kambing. Ahhh! how to live without dairy products laaaaa? 

ice-cream, Tuti Fruti, minuman, semua ada susu. aaaaaa!!! 

there ARE alternatives selain cow's dairy, tapi agak pricey. yelah, benda yang sihat memang mahal. 

sanggup dengan tidak je.
