Unlike all the ‘Food/Beverages’ pages from your FB account.
Block every friend who either uploads the pictures of homemade
mouth watering delicacies or simply makes a status update.
Empty your frozen stocks of chocolate/chocolate related
products as soon as possible or in fact eat/drink it in one go. [no more Bournevilles :’( ]
Throw away all the cooking oil so that nothing at all can be
fried in the kitchen.
Avoid going to vegetable market for you may see carrots
which can be injurious for your brain as it instantly pictures “Gaajar ka halwa”
There’s no saying that you can’t go to sweet vendors for the
few sweets that you actually like.
Avoid going to your friend’s place for there you may be
served samoses, jalebis, burfies etc!
No momos, no Aloo tikkis, no Dahi bhalle or chowmein in the
evening.
Your friends now celebrate for they now have to treat one
person less on any occasion.
And travelling on the roads of Delhi is strictly banned for
you can see KFC, Pizza hut and CCD every now and then and not to forget that
you have a deep craving for them.
In short STOP LIVING YOUR LIFE THE WAY YOU HAVE BEEN DOING
SINCE THE TIME WHICH SEEMS LIKE FOREVER!
These are a few of the umpteen thoughts that have occupied
my tiny little brain since last 48hours, since I was given a diet plan because
even if I do not suffer from diabetes, my insulin, cholesterol and triglyceride
counts have been marginal on the higher side. My sugar level is a bit high but not enough to take
doses of insulin as injections. As always doctors suggest PREVENTION IS BETTER
THAN CURE. My prevention is to restrict my diet. And just that you know I have
this insulin problem because my pancreas has been damaged a bit during my
chemotherapy, nothing much!
What was my first thought when the doctor said if you
restrict your diet your sugar level would be fine?
Restrict my diet. Yes I can do that. A bit less of this and
that. Some addition in fruits and veggies. Yeah, I will be fine. Okay. Five years
it has been and now some more trouble. Some day it will stop. For now, let’s flow.
What was my first thought when the dietician prepared my
diet chart?
Are you freaking kidding me? Name one freaking person who
wakes up at six and goes to bed by 10 in my world? Are you really asking me to follow
this plan that you have prepared which seems to me nothing more than bullshit? I
suffered from acute pancreatitis and I never went for a bland diet and a
freaking increment in my sugar level can’t make me give up my desire of taste
in food.
What was my first thought when I was out of the diet clinic
with the diet chart in my hand?
The person who invented this freaking diet plan either had
his taste buds burnt or did not have them in first place. I curse him more than
I cursed the person who invented those complicated formulas of statistics.
Every item that I have survived on is under FOODS TO AVOID and now I have eat
measuring everything as half cup or full cup or 250gms or 750gms. For God's sake, have mercy I am just Akankshya and not Ram Kapoor.
And a complete NO to fast foods. Occasionally I can visit
places but I need to choose wisely, the healthy stuffs. What is healthy in KFC?
And what’s not chocolaty in CCD? And what has no cheese in Pizza hut? It's not like I visit these places all the time but I do like to have them as options.
I have been doing a lot of thinking and I realize all I need
to do is go to MOUNT KAILASH (after effects of The Shiva Trilogy) and take up
sanyas giving up all the moh mayas of this world!
Here I was calling myself an honest, dedicated FOODIE and
they took out the FOOD from me. [ :’(]
After losing around 5-6KGs during a recent illness, they say I am having
the perfect weight and need to maintain it but they give me a list of food that
I wouldn’t go for. And yes I am going to freak out on every single person I meet
for the next couple of days/weeks/months because this diet plan seems nothing more
than a death trap to me.
It may seem funny but it’s true that I have been freaking
out since last 48 hours and I am glad that my mother is not putting the plan
into immediate action for I guess she thinks this is probably a bit too much.
As for me even while freaking out, there’s this calm part of me which says I have
that self control which would make me follow the plan with all honesty. Because
I really don’t want those insulin injections which once started would have no full
stop. And also I am glad that at least I can have bit of non veg- paneer,
chicken etc. Yes dear vegetarians, medically Paneer is a non veg item. Hahaha [
:P ]
But don’t you think the Mount Kailash idea is a nice one? [
:-P ]
