Doctor Diet Manila – Food Diet Delivery Review ( Part 16 – March 31 2021 )

For Part 16 of our food diet delivery experience with Doctor Diet Manila, we got Bibingka Pancake, Bangus Bistek, and Seafood Marinara.  We also got Nescafe zero-calorie coffee stick, Apple, Ube Cupcake, and boiled egg.

---

For this diet plan, I increased my calories from 1200 to 1500. I also requested for it to be high-protein, meaning I’d also have boiled egg included in my diet plan everyday. I requested to increase the calorie of my meal plan, because I love to exercise at least an hour either with Ring Fit, Fitness Boxing, or Yoga. And from my experience, I easily starved from a 1200 meal plan if I partner it with intense exercise.

Joseph’s diet plan stays the same. He got 1800 calorie high-protein meal plan.

Doctor Diet Manila Weekly Meal Plan :  March 29 – April 01 2021

March 29, 2021 – Monday

March 30, 2021 – Tuesday

March 31, 2021 – Wednesday

Breakfast : Nescafe Coffee

Doctor Diet Manila provided Nescafe Coffee stick that is zero-calories. Joseph and I tried it without adding white sugar, and it tasted just right. But most of the time, we couldn’t resist adding a small teaspoon of white sugar on our coffee, for that sweeter taste.

Breakfast : Bibingka Pancake

Bibingka Pancake of Doctor Diet Manila is memorable for me, because this was the first breakfast I got from Doctor Diet Manila (Read : Part 1 – Doctor Diet Manila )

When I tried it again, it still felt festive and merry! I am curious now if Doctor Diet Manila will try to offer Puto Bumbong, too!

Here in the Philippines, Bibingka and Puto Bumbong is the best Christmas food combo. It’s best to eat at night with free tea. Yes, the tea, most of the time is offered for free! After you get your order of Bibingka and Puto Bumbong, either the free tea is automatically given to you, or you’ll just say “Ale, pahingi ka po ng tsaa” (Can I get some tea?”)

Wonder why the tea is free? It’s because Christmas is a season of sharing, right? And that’s just one way to provide warmth for the community during the colder season of Christmas. Mostly, those who were offering Bibingka and Puto Bumbong and Tea, are our dear neighbors too.

In recent times like today though, Bibingka and Puto Bumbong were not just offered during Christmas season, but local restaurants also pick this up, and put it in their regular menu.

Lunch : Bangus Bistek

Doctor Diet Manila’s Bangus Bistek included rice, carrots, green beans, onion slices, and bangus belly.  “Taba ng Bangus!” No one would argue. It’s one of the yummiest part of the fish. Second yummiest for me, is the fish head, because it’s the second most fattiest part.

---

Snack : Ube Cupcake and Fruit 

For our fruit, we got red apple. Which by the way is my top choice compared to different types of fruits. It’s astringent and fresh, and just cleanse the palate.

For our snack, we got Ube Cupcake. This one’s new with our snack experience with Doctor Diet Manila. “Sarap!” Joseph exclaimed while eating this, and I agree. The fudginess reminded me of Fudgee Bar.

As you read earlier, I was just wishing that there’s also Puto Bumbong with my breakfast earlier. Then this Ube Cupcake came, and it just solved my Puto Bumbong desires. Both were made from purple sweet potato!

Our number one requirement when eating any sweet snack is partnering it with hot coffee. So we usually have coffee twice a day, one in the morning, and another in the afternoon. Any sweet snack has a tendency to leave a sticky residue in the throat, and we could not afford to be sick (nor have sore throat) during these days of pandemic.

Dinner : Seafood Marinara

When ordering pasta, either I get sweet-style spaghetti or creamy carbonara. It’s difficult for me to order other pasta dish without searching for positive reviews about it first. For example, Seafood Marinara. Seafood is a make or break for me. I’m particular with the freshness of seafood. And usually seafood in a pasta matched with a sauce that’s sour-tasting, which is opposite to what I usually wanted in a pasta that is either sweet-style or creamy.

But having myself acquainted with various healthy meals, makes me realize that favoring sweet and creamy, may mean something is wrong with my cravings. I am supposed to introduce myself to various flavors, and find balance.

Doctor Manila’s Seafood Marinara included fish and squid to this dish. It tasted very lite, just right for dinner. The seafood is not rubbery, but tender. The sauce is not too sour, also just right.

The boiled egg included in the picture is actually a part of our Doctor Diet Manila’s Snack, but we decided to add it in one of our main meals. Joseph sliced the egg with an egg slicer.

Doctor Diet Manila Weight loss Results : I lost 2 kgs. in 3 days only!

On February 22 2021, I weigh 60.08 kgs. This is a sad moment for me considering I workout (though not consistent) since last year. I also was able to reach the 54.00 kgs weight loss last year but here I am again on a yo-yo weight cycle. My fault too ‘cos I love eating a lot too. But I’m not giving up this weight loss goal!

On February 25, 2021, that’s 3 days after, I weigh 57.940 kgs. That’s 2.14 kgs weight loss. I give credit to Doctor Diet Manila and my daily morning exercise to this weight loss.

Consistency is the name of the game here. As of 10 April 2021, I weigh around 58 kgs. A little weight gain again as I am not consistent to ordering Doctor Diet Manila. I got a lot of cheats days too when I order my usual Grab food orders and I’m not consistent to my exercise routine, but I’m gonna tell you from my experience that this meal plan by Doctor Diet Manila really works (see that proof above!) And it’s up to you, your consistency, your habits, and your motivation to reach that goal.

Sharing to you my previous Weight – Exercise – Food Tracker below: 

As you can see, from March 22- 28 2021, I wasn’t able to order at Doctor Diet Manila and look at how my weight fluctuate up and down like a yo-yo. From March 29 to April 01 2021, I was able to order at Doctor Diet Manila again, and my weight is at a steady downward trajectory, just the way I like it.

The benefit of diet delivery, like ordering in Doctor Diet Manila, is you save time and effort in prepping your meals. I am a habitual Grab Food customer, and it would took me an hour before I can finalize my order. I am big eater and food lover, but I am also very picky, that I end up disappointing myself from my food choices. But when Doctor Diet Manila came into our lives, thinking about food during work-from-home, is such a breeze. The food is delivered the day before, you just leave it in the refrigerator overnight, and then the next day you wake up, you just heat the food in the pan or in your microwave oven.

Joseph also kept on exclaiming that : Iba talaga pag yung pagkain natin, Doctor Diet Manila (it’s different when our food is from Doctor Diet Manila), because he really felt it with his digestion, and he said he isn’t that bloated. He also find it nutritious and tasty!

Selfie taken 02 April 2021

I took this selfie without filter, just a natural light from the window. When it comes to weight loss, the first part that one will notice is the changes on their face. I kept on taking a selfie to be able to look back and see the difference.

I am 26 year-old, turning 27 on April 16. My height is 4’11 and currently around 58 kgs. My ideal weight should be 47 kgs. I still have a long way to go. My overweight tendencies started when sedentary office work became part of my life (that’s 6 years and counting!) I started to fight this overweight tendencies by exercising. Last March 2020, I started exercising with Ring Fit and I ended up at 54 kgs. My weight came back again, and I’m now back at the 58 kg. From an Ayurveda perspective, I have a Kapha Dosha. Meaning, I easily gain weight. Food is love, but food can also be my enemy.
