SAUERKRAUT
1) 3lbs / 2kg of Green Cabbage, shredded
2) 1.5 tbsps. Salt

Steps:
1) Simple combine the cabbage and salt. Begin working the salt into the cabbage by massaging and squeezing the cabbage with your hands until the cabbage is watery and limp. This will take about 5 to 10 minutes. Be patient!

2) Grab handfuls of the cabbage and pack them into your jars. Pour any liquid released by the cabbage into the jar.

3) Then place one of the larger outer leaves of the cabbage over the surface to cover the cabbage.

4) To weigh the cabbage down, slip a smaller jar into the mouth of the jar. I’ve added stones into the small jar to add weight.

5) You want to make sure that the cabbage is fully submerged beneath its liquid. Cover the mouth of the jar with a cloth to make sure it’s airtight.

6) Allow the cabbage to ferment for 3 to 10 days, keeping the sauerkraut away from direct sunlight and at a cool room temperature

This sauerkraut is a fermented product so it will keep for at least two months and often longer if kept refrigerated.

JAPANESE PICKLED CUCUMBER
1) 3 Japanese cucumbers, thinly sliced
2) 2 tsps. Salt
3) ¼ cup Rice Vinegar
4) 2 tbsps. Brown Sugar
6) 2 tbsps. Sesame Seeds

Steps
1) In a bowl, add the cucumber and sprinkle it with the salt. Set aside for five minutes.
2) Rinse off the salt and drain the cucumbers.
3) Combine all ingredients in a bowl: rice vinegar, brown sugar, sesame seeds. Mix well.
4) Transfer into a jar and let it sit in the fridge for at least 24 hours. And this is really to be eaten. This goes perfectly with rice!

PICKLED CABBAGE & CARROT
1) 3 cups Red Cabbage, shredded
2) 1 cup Carrot, thinly sliced
3) 2 tsps. Salt
4) 1 cup Rice Vinegar
5) 3/4 cup Brown Sugar
6) ½ tsp. Sesame Oil
7) Pinch of hot chili flakes

Steps
1) In a large bowl, toss the cabbage together with the carrots. Set aside.
2) In saucepan over medium heat, stir together the vinegar, sugar, sesame oil chili flakes and salt. Mix until sugar has dissolved for about 3 minutes. Allow the sauce mixture to cool down.
3) Then pour it over the cabbage and carrot mixture and toss well. Cover and chill in the fridge for at least 8 hours or overnight. The next day, transfer the cabbage mixture into airtight jar.

All the recipes will store for a long time in the fridge, So you can make a huge batch and consume 1 – 2 servings daily.

It’s been 4.5 years since I started on this journey of sharing fitness videos online. What goes on behind the camera? What do I do on a daily basis? I put this video together to share with you a glimpse of what drives me every single day.

When I started, my intention was wanting to help and educate people on living a healthier and happier life. I always tell myself, if my video can reach out to just one people to inspire them to take action and change his/her life around for the better, then I’ll continue producing these videos. Although many things have changed since then, that one purpose has not and will NEVER change.

We are now a family of 1 million and I’m ever so grateful for all your love and support. This won’t be possible without your trust in me. =)

I used to do EVERYTHING on my own from conceptualising the ideas to writing, filming, editing etc. It was a one-woman show and it can get really stressful and lonely. Now, I’m blessed with a small team to assist me but I still am very much involved in the entire video process. Hey, I love it!

I started HER Network this year as well because I believe in collaborating with like-minded women to bring you different aspects of health & fitness, which may not be my speciality. When we come together and work together, we can create greater things and I truly hope that you’ll share this vision with me too.

I hope you enjoy this video. Let me know what you love about my channel, how can we improve together and what you’d love to see more of in the comments below. Your feedbacks matter to me. =)

Lots of Love xx

11 Healthy Foods That Can Make You FAT
1) Trail Mix or Granola
2) Fruit Juices or Smoothies
3) Salad Dressings
4) Avocado
5) Coconut Milk
6) Natural Sweeteners
7) Energy Bars
8) Gluten-Free Foods
9) Vegetable Chips
10) Frozen Yoghurt
11) Nut Butter

I’m not saying you shouldn’t be eating all these foods, in fact, most of them should be part of your diet. But be aware that they are NOT “free” calories. Those calories can still add up, causing you to experience a weight loss plateau or even weight gain.

So what’s the key to not gaining weight on healthy foods? The answer is fairly simple – you should know what you’re eating and PORTION CONTROL is the key. Apply these tips and train yourself to be a MINDFUL eater.

What other healthy foods that are causing you to gain weight? Let me know in the comments below.
