Nadh had written a beautiful piece on the ultimate diet; the one taught by our beloved Prophet Muhammad s.a.w. So I will not be playing a broken record here.
As I studied Physiology to the point of boredom, I started a new reading on something completely unrelated, which is on lentils.
It is publicly known as حمص in Egypt and we Malaysians call it kacang dal.
Lentil, as Wikipedia said, is high in proteins including isoleucine and lysine which are essential amino acids we studied in Biochemistry.
Apart from that, it is also rich in dietary fiber, folate, vitamin B1 and minerals.
And to add some Physiology in this post, lentil is also a good source for iron, which is exceptionally important for hemopoiesis.
Self.com itself suggests lentils as one of the superfoods for weight loss. Being high in proteins and fibers, lentil will be fulfilling quickly and nicely thus making an excellent study companion.
Since those on a diet will most likely succumb to the evil of ghrelin and grab that oh-wickedly-sinful Borio, my suggestion is go grab one of these yellow sunshine instead.
It is satiating, high in nutrients, suitable for people on diet, and only cost LE3.50 for a quarter of kilo!
Go grab your lentils today!
p/s: I'm currently promoting healthy eating style. Which includes no more Twinkies and large bag of Rotato.

Huhu, most people will also "succumb" to that sinfully so-called-effective "Acai Berry Pills" that left many people's YM at six and sevens. Filthy Spammers, Let's demolish them and become their nightmares LOL.
Btw, sometimes you have to read something that "totally unrelated" so you'll not spend six years of study thinking about about medical books and ended up being a hopeless nerd just for the sake of scoring in exams. Oh it's true, many people became that esp those who indulge themselves in being a medical student.
btw, nice thread, short and precise, simple yet formal (bak kata kak Shireen,he he :P).
sufi:
erk, tidak wujudkah kacang dal di malaysia?
hehe
mursyid:
those acai berry commercials are funny, hehe. to think of the extreme extend people go to just for the sake of a slimmer waistline.
yep, true. we Muslims should excel in every part of our life. and i've always like to know a little bit about everything, instead of the other way around.
