Pinoy Cooking: RSM Lutong Bahay

RSM Lutong Bahay RSM Lutong Bahay

It was our first time to eat at RSM Lutong Bahay along Tagaytay Hiway last week and it didn’t disappoint. I will blog about their food next time (silly hungry me was not able to take pictures – but at least I was still smart enough to get a copy of their menu) and my review on it.

I love the cozy atmosphere of the place and the view downstairs. The kids we brought along had fun running under foggy skies.

I especially liked their quaint wooden decorations. I wonder if they get their wooden blinds from Wooden Blinds Direct.  They used the Roman Blinds on one section of the restaurant and it lent a privacy to the room. Their clearance wood shutters run from only 25pounds!

Losing the Belly Fat

I am a big woman and admittedly, obese. I am tall for my size so I can somehow my built to an extent, if only my huge pot belly isn’t sticking it out. I get mistaken for a pregnant woman all the time! People advise me that the only way to lose the belly is to steer clear from sugar and carbs (refined ones) so I don’t get bloated that much.

Here is what Jen Mueller, Certified Personal Trainer and Nicole Nichols, Certified Fitness Instructor has to say:

There is no way to target weight loss to a specific area of the body because your body decides where it wants to put on weight and where it wants to take it off. The midsection is a common "problem" area for many people.

The best way to lose fat is through cardiovascular exercise. It is important to do a variety of abdominal exercises (including crunches) to keep your core strong, but until that excess fat is gone, you will not see the muscle definition. So if you’re not doing cardio, crunches are not going to help get the six-pack you’ve been hoping for. Regular cardio exercise at a level that’s challenging for you is your best bet.
