Welcome to yoonamania where I put down the nonsense that pops up in my head from time to time. Please do not expect to make any sense out of my blatherings. It's called nonsense for a reason. Nor should you expect to enjoy any good writing. My English sucks moose ass. But I don't really care since I'm sure your Korean isn't any better. Please try to keep your expectations low and just chill like potatoes... or beets... or parsnips. Oh and yeah, don't take it seriously unless you think I think you must.

Yours truly, etc. yoonamaniac

I’ve been scheming to take the full advantage of my recently shrunken stomach since I can feel it’s already expanding, now that I’m eating normally. For years, I have seen on TV and read articles either online or in magazines about foods with negative calories. In other words, foods that make you burn more calories than they contain when your body tries to digest. So far I have found the following food items to contain negative caloric values.

Vegetables Fruits
Asparagus
Beet root
Broccoli
Cabbage
Carrot
Cauliflower
Celery
Chicory
Hot chili pepper
Cucumber
Garden cress
Garlic
Green beans
Lettuce
Onion
Radish
Spinach
Turnip
Zucchini
Apple
Apricot
Blueberry
Cantaloupe
Cranberry
Grapefruit
Honeydew
Lemon
Lime
Mango
Orange
Papaya
Peach
Pineapple
Raspberry
Strawberry
Tomato
Tangerine
Watermelon

I somehow remembered apple being one of them so I’ve been eating an apple a day. And I have decided that from now on I will;

  1. eat chips always with spicy salsa (tomato, hot chili pepper, onion and garlic)
  2. always have pickles (cucumber) with my sandwich from cafeteria
  3. ask for lettuce, tomato and onion in my sandwich even though I don’t like tomato in sandwiches
  4. always put either strawberries, blueberries, raspberries or peaches in my cereal
  5. ask for more lemon wedges with my fish and squeeze them on the fish liberally

That’s all for now, short of eating these dreadful vegetables (I generally despise vegetables) and fruits by themselves. I thought eating lemon sorbet or apple pie or peach cobbler often was pushing it.
