Tinola is technically known as soup. It could be fish or chicken or pork or even seafoods like shrimps or squid, or whatever you fancy that is fresh.. Here in the Philippines, there are very many ways to make soup, but Tinola is one that prevails and is easy to make.. The ingredients are readily available anywhere, so it won't be much of a problem. 

Here are two ways for you to do so...

This first one is frying the fish, or anything you choose,  first before putting into the boiling water.. 

fry in low heat, with just a little oil

 You can either fry it first or have a coating-- it depends on your liking..

dredge the fish first in flavored flour, 

The other way is to have water boiling first, then drop fresh fish, chicken or whatever you like, directly into the pot.. Have it flavored and add leafy greens..

Another way to cook tinola or the soup known to many in Mindanao and Visayas as Sabaw Bisaya, is simply vegetables cooked in boiled water, with no meat whatsoever..  Still, it is good for the body..

Endless Thoughts and Discussions of Food, Exercise and Diet..

Shop at More Food Adventures

How do you go about your diet? How do you deal with weight gain? Do you exercise to lose it? Do you simply go on a special diet? Or maybe you do both, dieting and exercising... It sure would be very effective to exercise and have a diet plan that works..

If we are to talk about food that are evidently proven and guaranteed weight loss inducing, then we should also be talking about calorie intake, nutrition in every serving, vitamins and minerals contained in every pack of food we eat, and so on and so forth.. Then maybe, we would reach discussions about the guaranteed weight loss pill or the right exercise. The easiest step to lose the pounds, and many more.. Of course, some people, once guaranteed weight loss pills are mentioned, the next discussion would then lead to which brand works well or what is cheaper yet more effective---- it will come as an everlasting litany of thoughts and discussions that somehow changes our perspective and actions.

I am sure I am not the only person who have pointed this out. I am sure that many have also experienced falling on the yo-yo plan on diet, exercise and food intake. Why? Maybe it is because we tend to over discuss things.. Maybe because we no longer enjoy anything because we are too conscious of their effects on our body and our health.. Maybe because we continue to find a solution, thinking that it can be done overnight.. Maybe we fail to recognize that we must give time for things to work--- shezzzz..

Perhaps, the time is now here to listen closely to our bodies, and feel within our bodies, in order to know what it really wants...Maybe we must give ourselves time to enjoy the diet, time to enjoy the exercises, time to enjoy the absence of some food in our diet plan--- if we can enjoy them, surely, it would give us enough time to stop discussing and focus on doing them instead.. What do you think?
