Finished a week or so of liquid diet. Tried out plant-based mayo!
I was short on funds, so I ate less, then only had liquids, to save money for rent. My mom gave me some Thanksgiving money, even though you don't really celebrate that here in Asia. foodpanda here doesn't have a Healthy Choice Café line unlike the provinces, and smaller city, Dagupan. Well, all good.
Some of the "Vegan"/"plant-based" stuff I question the sauces, since some things get labeled under "plant-based", but actually aren't. Many of those places in foodpanda are in the mall, so I can match it up later if so. Browsing the mall, didn't really find vegan stuff. Checked with one host, and she said nothing, at some Japanese restaurant I think. Checked with Pizza Hut, and had to explain what vegan and plant-based was, and they said no faux meat.
I had saw online before going to BK that BK there has the X-TRA long plant-based chicken sandwich and it brings plant-based mayo! No plant-based mayo available when I tried the BK plant-based burgers in Tarlac back in 2020. They ran out, so I got the Whopper Jr. with double patties since I saw that available in the foodpanda app (guy from foodpanda was waiting on the side for any order), wouldn't have thought to do that if not for that at the time.
I ordered it with plant-based mayo, first time ever trying it out. Got it with a regular Coke and regular fries. Did that to budget, because if not, I would get the Whopper, double patties, large Coke, and large fries. Hehe. I did calculations on what to do daily. I'm' probably going to get between that and the plant-based chicken sandwich meals daily! Hehe. Soooo good! So good of eats, and so good to have soluble food again!
Also, some guy I overheard asking for plant-based options to a worker. I bumped in after she finished pointing them out. I said I'm vegan, and said I'm trying out the plant-based mayo. That I've had the burgers before. He said he wants to do vegetarian since he has diabetes. Then I went into differentiating vegan from vegetarian, and said the true healing and true ethics falls under the word vegan. That saturated fat causes diabetes and its generally not an issue with vegans.
That you will reverse diabetes in 2-3 weeks on a plant-based diet, scientifically proven. We talked about me living here, where I'm from, and him having family in Cali since he was like oh cool that I said I'm American. I said a lot of people don't like to admit it, but plant-based is the way. Even with cooking meat and the antibiotics given, still doesn't help people to eat something they're clearly not designed to eat.
He said you're absolutely right. I recorded most of it in the Messenger audio recorder and sent it to my friend Claire I work with that sends me on these forums, and Claire was impressed. Very cool! I had gotten my day started late, but cool I met that guy that I was extrovert to, like I am sometimes extrovert. It was more of normal waking time, since I've often went to sleep past 4 am lately, sometimes around 6 or so I'll do it. I trimmed my face, neck, and head like I've wanted to, and applied aloe vera to hydrate the skin and remove the excess sebum again (works like a charm in minutes or so!).
The mall was so packed too! Oddly enough, I saw a bunch of people in the front of the mall, like they left, but they're standing there even though we have the signal by the police to cross the street. Mall was packed, a bunch of Xmas decorations, some people dressing in costumes that really wowed a lot of mall goers, a lot of packed restaurants, and packed grocery lines (I went into a cart line again for how packed the basket lines were... haha). Yet again, a cashier and the bag boy interested in the Red Bull small bottle.
A cashier usually looks at it with interest, following with them showing the bag boy, and the bag boy looks at it in want too. I always at least say they're good and mention I mainly get it for the full day's worth of B12, sometimes elaborating on the ginseng, caffeine being medicinal, etc.
It's sooo much better when you budget and got enough for food, drink, mobile load, rent, and utilities.
Cheers! Thanks for reading! Have a good day/night! ^-^ <3 *insert handshake emoji*
