Bread Talk
If you are a frequent loaf buyer like i am, you must be very familiar with
gardenia - the bread brand that has been in the consumer market for quite sometime now and has pioneered the introduction of fresh, healthy, and diet-friendly breads.
but have you ever wondered if their breads in the stack are really fresh? how would you know which one is fresh and which one is not? The
twist tie is the key. i emailed gardenia's
customer relations and personally called their hotline to verify any truth to this, and here is what i found:
did you know that gardenia philippines delivers fresh bread seven (7) days a week, that's monday, tuesday, wednesday, thursday, friday, saturday, and sunday and each day corresponds to a different twist tie color. they are:
monday - tan
tuesday - orange
wednesday - yellow
thursday - blue
friday - green
saturday - red
sunday - white
so the next time you will hop in the grocery, and assuming it is sunday, you would not want to pick the tan-colored twist tie as this bread has been in the stack for almost a week already.
you might ask, hey, how come all the twist ties i see are always, say for example, orange, or blue, etc.? this only means that the turn-around of bread in that particular branch is fast, so breads in there are always delivered fresh!
so for those gardenia bread lovers out there, take note of the right color twist tie to enjoy fresh breads from gardenia. so good, you can even eat it on its own! :)
hey, before i forget, another diet-friendly advise to you guys. the healthiest bread to eat offered by gardenia is the whole wheat bread - with:
170calories @ 1g fat
good source of carbs @ 35g
dietary fiber @ 3g
protein @ 7g (enjoyed with +tuna spread+lettuce+tomato+cucumber)

Yogurt the power!
i miss my
yogurt. it has been three days since i last tasted it. and i am craving now.
know why?
just to share with you guys, and for those who have difficulty in losing weight, especially in their tummy areas, adding yogurt in my diet really helped me in shaping my so-called ABS. I consume a cup of yogurt every after meal since calcium-rich dairy foods, including yogurt of course, boost the body’s fat-burning mechanism.
Not to mention that eating yogurt also promotes fresher breath and a health mouth. This is because yogurt lowers levels of compounds responsible for bad breath, may also eliminate tongue-coating bacteria, and reduce dental plaque formation, cavities, and risk for gingivitis.
So, how to enjoy your yogurt?
Try this one from Nestle. I have been eating this since I started going to the gym. Tastes so good, less sour & tangy taste, and best of all, 0% FAT, beat that!
