Chapo vs Muesli...

Am a tad dissapointed at my progress/lack of on breakfast.
So i have been munching muesli every day for breakfast religiously- for the last two months.
My favourite is Bokomo Swiss muesli , and a cup full keeps me full well till lunch time and i do not get hunger pangs till lunch time- so as a result i do not snack.
Its been really chilly this month and so tea break at my office happens to be all day .
So a week ago , i was yet to have my muesli ( as i cook it for a minute or two in the microwave) , so a colleague offered a hot chapati- i mean it was fresh , and soft looking and it was so inviting.
Hadnt had a white chapati in a while so i took it with some tea- how awesome it tasted.


To cut a long story short, every time my colleagues have been ordering for those chapatis, i find myself asking for one myself. I hate this chapatis. Not because they are not tasty- oh they are so very tasty.
But heres why i hate them-
  • They are made from white wheat flour- and i know that mama chapo uses tilly cooking fat.
  • Its usually bigass chapo and by the time i finish am always too full.
  • I always get hungry by 11.00  so i need to snack on something.
  • They go well with tea with some sugar- more calories
So today i ate my last chapo for breakfast.
I swear i can even feel my pouch starting to  sag ( sigh)...
So since  am working on changing my lifestyle i can smell weight traps ( read death traps) and clearly this is one of them  .Its ok that i have enjoyed this chapos for a while- almost  7 days ...
But it is even better that i have singled them out as the reason i may not loose weight as fast as i want.
Needless to say , Muesli is more tastier , with all the ingridients in wheat, and essential oils from almond and some nuts.
So Ill stick with the Muesli for now- thank you .
I also bumbed into how to make my own muesli-so it tastes different every day - more on that later.
For now let the loosing continue.

P.S -Mwesh my dear weightloss buddy please halla at me fuikipkosgei@gmail.com

  1. Woishe pole but get your ass back on the wagon. Muesli is good but eating the same thing every morning can be a bit bleh.... Why don't you try alternating with oats (Instead of milk do water with raisins n nuts) or a boiled egg with tomatoes in the morning.

    By the way I just discovered your blog and am loving it. I seriously need a weight loss partner coz am not very consistent myself

    All the best getting to your ideal weight. xx

  2. Hey, you could make a few chappos over weekend and divide them and carry to eat.those things never go bad. Difference is you make healthy chapos! Use wholewheat flour mixed with boiled and mashed pumpkin and to cook you can use either olive/sunflower oil. Very nyummy and definately a healthier version
