When we found out that Tatay had not just one, but four health problems: hypertension, high uric acid, fatty liver, and high triglycerides--we knew we had to make serious changes.
In just three months, he went from 71 kg to 60 kg. What felt impossible at first became achievable through consistency and creativity in the kitchen. His lab results improved and normalized, except for the fatty liver, which we were told would take more time and continued care.
Aside from changing his diet, Tatay also made a simple but powerful commitment: 10,000 steps a day. No intense workouts. No gym. (Just the idea of it makes him faint 😂) So he committed himself to pure walking every single day.
Of course, eating kamote and saba daily can get tiring. So instead of giving up, he researched and experimented in the kitchen. After several trial-and-error attempts, he created a budget-friendly plant-based meat alternative made from vital wheat gluten as a base.
✔ High in protein
✔ Low in fat
✔ Low in carbs
✔ Cholesterol-free
A much healthier option compared to red meat--one of the biggest adversaries of hypertensive individuals and those with high triglycerides. So if you omit or lessen red meat in your diet, you’re actually lowering your risk of Type 2 diabetes, cardiovascular disease, and even cancer.
What amazed me was you can cook it any way you like:
BBQ, giniling, lumpia, tocino, longganisa, adobo, your creativity is the limit.
Healthy living doesn’t have to be expensive or complicated. Sometimes it simply takes commitment, discipline, creativity and the willingness to try something new.
If you’re looking for a healthier alternative for your family (or also trying to normalize your bp as trentahins) this might be a good place to start. 💚
