Jazak Allah khair for all of the advice you ...Wow! Jazak Allah khair for all of the advice you guys ^_^<br /><br />@ tedua: Lol, yes, the tea here. I pretty much live off of it. I like making it for myself, because everyone else puts WAY too much sugar in it! I feel like, if made properly, it does aid in weightloss. However the problem is, as previously stated, when there's WAY too much sugar put in it, like the way my in-laws usually make it, it's NOT healthy to drink too much...it will actually make you GAIN weight (because of the calories from the sugar), and will put you on the fast track to diabetes. Also, I shall defintely send my hubby on a cabbage quest :) When you said spinach I got really excited because I love eating raw baby spinach in salads...it's a really good source of iron. I haven't been able to find it here yet though :( Maybe I'm just not looking hard enough...<br /><br />@jessica: I wish they'd be a little less insistant upon eating meals...but as I said, it's just the way that people tell you they love you here, even though it's not the healthiest thing to do. If you say you're on a diet though...people do seem to respect that, even though they might insist that it's a silly idea and you don't need to diet lol. When I told my MIL that I want to watch my weight for health reasons, she told my husband's grandmother, who then went out of her way to fix me something separate (and less caloritic) than what everyone else was eating. Mash'Allah, I love my husband's family!<br /><br />@JuliaLui: lol I used to be a HUGE fan of bread, but after eating so much, I really need a break! I got my husband to get me rice last night though...I cooked it today and mixed it with a can of tuna fish...yummm!Ayahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13246312611663311783noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5806453154568083277.post-30008207820261023352011-04-05T06:54:19.536+01:002011-04-05T06:54:19.536+01:00i love bread!! and rice!!i love bread!! and rice!!Julialuihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03210556566413470595noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5806453154568083277.post-79945613808868136402011-04-05T00:43:09.366+01:002011-04-05T00:43:09.366+01:00i know exactly like you said. everyday i hear '...i know exactly like you said. everyday i hear 'kooli kooli.' haha i had lunch 2 times today. once with my husband and his father. and then after his mother returned from hammam, i ate again, she pleaded with me 'kooli! kooli, hiba, kooli!

The Moroccan diet is very bread-heavy (bread is eaten at EVERY meal), so I have been trying to cut out eating so much bread and meat, an focus instead on vegetables. You also make a good point about water...I definitely don't drink enough (this has been an ongoing problem even before I came here). I'm back at my appartment this week, so I can now cook for myself (and exercise without anybody staring at me like I'm a complete lunatic) which is nice. Insh'Allah I'll start getting in better shape!Ayahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13246312611663311783noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5806453154568083277.post-16029648378206260942011-04-03T01:11:53.113+01:002011-04-03T01:11:53.113+01:00i love hospitable people:)it hurts to deny good fo...i love hospitable people:)it hurts to deny good food that’s being offered! Maybe wait before you have something to eat till you go out so you're hungrier. I drink a lot of water and eat vegetables, that helps me lose weight. Something about too much meat protein slows down the metabolism.Julialuihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03210556566413470595noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5806453154568083277.post-40945574144059909372011-04-01T08:09:28.854+00:002011-04-01T08:09:28.854+00:00@Amal
