anyways, for this post, i'd like to write about diets. Yezterday, super important for a drag queen to maintain a figure. there's only so much flabs that packing tapes can cover, so dapat talaga laging slim, or at least create that illusion for our audience.

| To get a Drag Queen body like Ru Paul, You Better Work! |
so here are some of the diets i've tried before and how they worked for me:
1. Skipping Meals: yes, i know it's bad but for a desperate queen who needs to fit into a sexy gown, the weeks or days before the event would often require drastic measures like yes, skipping meals. Don't even attempt this if you're not healthy. at least ako, even if i skip a meal (not more than 2 a day, once lang at most, and i didn't do it every day, at most every other day lang), i have fat reserves naman so carry na yun. what i usually did before was eat something heavy for breakfast and lunch, and then eat very little or nothing by dinner. this may be a variant of the nothing after 6 diet.
2. Magic Pupu Tea: I tried this slimming before: Pearl Green Tea which i bought at a chinese store in Divisoria pa. you take it at night before going to bed like a normal tea. then in the following morning, you pupu everything inside your stomach. para syang colonic ba. and it makes you pupu at most 3 times a day! as in ilalabas nya talaga lahat. It's like Biguerlai but less hurtful to your pwet. and super hilab din ang tyan as in mamimilipit ka sa sakit, so again i don't recommend this for long term use. siguro mga a month before you can do it daily for 3 weeks. then after that stop na.
3. Herbalife: this product is a direct selling item. ever notice sa mga jeep and taxi yung sign na lose weight or gain weight and call me at this number xxx. yun na yun herbalife. i bought this shake na supposedly meal replacement, pero ewan ko di naman ako nabusog nagutom pa rin ako. i gave it up after 2 weeks lang yata. no effect sa kin. tapos yung agent ko ang dami pang binebenta sa kin kaya ayun dedma ko na sha ever.
4. Zhen du Shou: this is like bangkok pills from china which a friend used before her wedding and it really worked for her and another friend of ours. i think mas effective sya sa girls -- the biological ones. tayong mga psychological women hindi inubrahan sori na lang tayo. ayun na-banned na sya tuloy sa market.
5. South Beach: maraming variants ito at interpretation, but for me, it only meant one thing: NO RICE. i did it for like 2 months and in fairness may effect talaga. BUT like in everything, your body would eventually crave for something that you denied it with. so ayun, when i stopped, i craved rice again so ayun parang wala ding nangyari bumalik din yung na lose kong weight.
6. Slimina: this is a new version of zhen du shou, which the chinese manufacturer claims as safer and made from natural ingredients and plant extracts kuning. just like zhen du shou, it causes loss of appetite so talagang di ka kakain, and supposedly it speeds up your metabolism so you will burn whatever you eat. in fairness again, if you take it religiously for 30 days, may effect sya talagang you will lose weight. and yes it's effective for both biological and psychological women. yun nga lang may side effects: sasakit ulo mo na parang ang bigat at kailangan drinkella ka forever ng water. and sabi ni ms betty nakakabawas din daw ng libido (uuy ayaw na nya tuloy). BUT again, once you stop taking it, babalik uli cravings mo and all.
eto naman yung mga exercise or physical activities i tried:
1. Gym: boring for me cause it's repetitive and super effort ka talaga. and hate ko pa na parang pinagtitinginan ako ng mga maton habang nagwoworkout ako na para bang wala akong karapatan magbuhat buhat dun in their presence. or maybe bet lang nila ako chorvahin hehehe.
2. Badminton: this one i really enjoyed, coz sobrang pawis ako after every game and hindi ko namamalayan ang oras so go ka lang nang go. but since it came out as a fad, nung wala na ko mahatak na makipaglaro sa kin, ayaw ko na rin.
3. Exercise videos: this one i did for like 6 months and it's really fun and affordable coz sa bahay lang me indak indak and dance dance mag-isa parang luka-luka. pati nga yung hip hop abs triny ko and for me basta pawisan ka in one hour carry na yun. kaya lang ayun, nagsawa din ako sa kanya eventually.
4. Boxing: this one i also enjoyed as well. sobrang nakaka-alis stress ang sumuntok sa mitt ng trainer mo. yez, one on one ang training so masaya sya. sayang di masyadong yantaw ang trainer ko or else di ako huminto. and it's an overall workout for 1 hour only. 3 minutes of jogging, then stretching, then sparring na. then punching bag, tapos yung balloon, then sparring uli. then punching bag uli. then final sparring. then pushups, cool down exercises. tapos na. one hour na yun. eh nagsara yung elorde's sa west ave so ayun stop na rin ako tinamad na ko.
5. Running: I know sobrang sikat ng marathons ngayon but i think this is another fad waiting to be replaced. i tried this once lang and di ko sha bet. sobrang hiningal ako agad. and i just found out na parang binubugbog mo ang katawan mo sa kakatagtag. and you're making yourself prone to a lot of injuries which may manifest in the fututre. so malamang di ko to gagawin uli.
so what do i recommend would work best? for me, if you have a special event and you have to look your sexiest, then diet and exercise combined ang solusyon. otherwise, pag lean season lang, i think the best for me is to eat in moderation to maintain lang yung weight. i may not have the abs but for me it's all about the confidence.
when I'm in drag and fully made up on stage, nothing beats that feeling when boys look at me na nabibighani and di makapaniwala sa vision of a goddess in front of them. odva talagang ilusyonada? that's confidence, baby!
Live, Love, and Believe! Mwah3x
