FollowFor the longest time, nuts have always been my go-to snack. They’re nutritious, filling, relatively low in carbs and, when eaten in reasonable portions, generally have much less impact on blood sugar than the usual sugary or highly processed snacks.
Walnuts are rich in omega-3 fats and are great for heart and brain health. Almonds are packed with vitamin E, magnesium and healthy fats, while cashews give you magnesium, copper and other important minerals. And of course, they’re all much more nutritious than a packet of Twisties! 😆
I do miss eating snacks like Twisties, Doritos, Mamee and Cheezels. But I know they’re the kind of food that can easily make me overeat, fat, and they’re not exactly doing my body any favours.
I may look healthy, slim, and fit on the outside, but on the inside… that’s another story and another long write-up for another day. 😂
So I had to say goodbye to most of my favourite junk food. Now, whenever hunger pangs strike, I reach for my nuts instead.
And after almost 10 months of not buying junk food since moving back to Ipoh, I realised something quite surprising — I don’t actually miss them anymore.
It probably helps that I don’t live with my daughters now. When we were all under the same roof in KL, I used to buy loads of junk food to share with them. They were happy, I was happy, and we happily munched on junk food together. What great way to bond, LOL! 😂
But now it’s just me, my folks in their 80s, my nuts and my much more boring-but-healthier snack life. 🤣
Anyway, even before the 10/10 Sale started, I had already restocked my stash of roasted cashews, almonds and chickpeas from Lazada.
They’re really fresh, crunchy and, unfortunately, quite addictive. Once I start munching, stopping is another problem altogether. 😂
