I have been on keto diet since I read about it on this thread. I've carried 30kg excess for 20 years, despite a supposedly good diet and regular exercise.
It is 7 weeks today and I have lost 8.3kg. (107.5 - 99.2). So TV is not all bad, eh!? I do weights 3-4 times a week as well. 21kg to go and very confident this is the way to do it.
I've been tracking my BP, blood sugars and lipids and they are all improving too. If you have metabolic syndrome, pre-diabetes or diabetes II, it is worth looking in to it. It can cure all three. It generally only works for about 70% of the population, and you should track your lipids while you are doing it. This diet can fix your bad lipid profile too. Much better option than taking those very toxic statins pushed on you by doctors and their overlords.

I would love to hear from any one who is using / has tried the Keto diet .
Hi @OnceBitten. I started the ketogenic diet 12 days ago after reading @McFish's post right here on this thread.
Basically it is a very low carbohydrate, high fat diet. No bread, rice, pasta, potatoes BUT lots of bacon, eggs, sausages, butter, cream, nuts etc.
I gave up traditional low-fat dieting a long time ago as it never worked for me. I always try to keep fit but I just forget about my weight. I am a typical case of metabolic syndrome with pre-diabetes, high blood pressure and fat guts.
I have lost 5kg already and not been hungry for a second. In fact it's amazing to eat all this fatty food and still lose weight. Only 25kg to go.
WARNING: It is not a diet that will suit every one, and I would seek medical supervision and advice if you suffer diabetes or other health problems. Basically you are turning your body from a carb-burner into a fat-burner, so it's quite a big shift. In fact it is very important to keep an eye on your blood readings of sugars and fats/lipids over the course of the diet as some people do react badly.
But at the same time it can cure diabetes 2 and even reverse diabetes long term side effect.
The first week was a little bit tough. I had what they call keto-flu for the first few days, and a fast heart rate for a couple of days early this week. >90bpm. Usually <70bpm. But now running smoothly again.
Insulin is the big bad guy in this story. If you can lower your insulin you can lose weight easily, and the only way to lower your insulin is to cut dietary carbohydrates, and keep your protein normal. Dietary fats do not impact insulin: that's why this diet works. This diet is still controversial to many in the medical world but the science is compelling. Remember stomach ulcers? When he suggested they are caused by bacterial infection they all told him he was mad. Same here. Traditional dietary advice is all kaput!!
WARNING 2: You should do your own research before attempting this diet
But it works for me so a great big THANKS to @McFish.

Better than a wicked witch. Check out Roe vs. Wade and see who really values life. It sure as shit ain't Clinton.
Hmm.....I don''t think I want to argue with you and your religious beliefs.

Let me stress I wasn't insulting anyone's wife or GF.
We're all adults and ought to understand girls and women.
If I'm mega rich and tell a little Thai girlie I want to marry her but don't want kids, she might nod enthusiastically and echo my sentiments. This may be due to greed; it may be because of unresolved psychological issues. We're all adults. We all know this.
Similarly, if I'm Donald Trump and tell a little Thai girlie I want 9 sons, she'll probably nod and say she wants ten. This ain't rocket science.

@VillageFarang. You described your wife as a "rare gem" because, at the grand old age of 23, she told you she wanted a childless marriage.
You're a big boy and ought to know exactly what was going on here. The poor girl was either blinded by greed or had issues requiring professional counselling.
That last sentence is unnecessary flaming.
My 18 year old daughter is adamant she never wants to have children. I think you're drawing a long bow, and maybe projecting what you want or have. ie. children. Is a woman who does not want children better or worse than one that does? The answer to this question is all a matter of personal choice and opinion.
Family sizes in Thailand have dived rapidly over the last 40 years. Life on the farm is not what it used to be. The planet is overpopulated and degraded and arguably getting worse. We are overlords of the Anthropogenic Extinction. There's a madman in the Whitehouse. Not such a bad idea to have no children.

More second hand information. How does your gf know for sure that the 'taxi story' is false?
Some folks are anti-violence and that's their right, in fact the world would be a better place if violence as a way to solve things was rejected more. In some cases people have become ant-violence because of earlier violence experiences, especially folks who have seen active service in wars.
Yes, more secondhand information. So what? Isn't that a staple of TV? I was merely presenting an alternative viewpoint to the one being presented here on TV. She is often correct when I ask her about news, issues, assumptions, stories and outright lies which sometimes fill up TV. She gets her information through Thai sources rather than our sometimes limited English language ones. There is so much inaccurate information spread around on social media that it is essential to check multiple sources before accepting something as fact. The gf is one of my sources.

I don't know what country you're talking about, but in Australia the compulsory voting system is no big deal. The Electoral Commission send you a letter to ask why you didn't vote. They pretty much accept any reason (I was sick - couldn't get out... whatever), so the possibility of having to pay a fine is remote.
Oh really, I was talking about Australia. Obviously I'm not a fan of compulsory voting, which only exists in 4 countries on the planet. Been fined numerous times at local, state and federal level.

It's been a hard fought victory. A lot of arguments, insults and suspensions on TV. Personally I'm disappointed Trump won. But it could have been worse: it could have been Ted Cruz or Chris Christie or God help us Ben Carson. I'll just have to console myself that we got a Democrat in office for a rare third term.

With a Trump victory, I wonder if US progressives will be granted 'refugee' status. They'll be resettle in mainland AU as long as they don't show up in a boat.
Yes just get in the bloody queue and she'll be apples.

As long as it stops more boats coming, it's the right deterrent. Or would you rather see hundreds more "refugees" drowned at sea?
Do you think that a lift in the quality of treatment in off-shore detention centres, especially of children, will result in hundreds more refugees drowned at sea? I think both aims can be achieved. The end does not justify the means.

When voting is compulsory and there's no option to sit on the fence or register a 'protest' non-vote, the numbers tend to be much more predictable.
Yes that makes sense. I new there had to be at least one benefit from our compulsory voting system.

Someone should teach the Americans how to do polls. How can they get it so wrong? Down under they are usually accurate within 1% error.

The gf says the taxi story is false, and that Nott got 3 or 4 good punches in before the recording started. And that if it was her son she'd be angry he didn't punch back.

oz takes about 30 000 refugees a year. nz takes 750. nz is nicely insulated from the whole mess. the refugees need to be considered as a separate entity and given long term visas that are easy to revoke if they miss behave.
Actually it's been 13-14,000 the last few years. Turnbull has proposed to lift it to 19-20,000. The numbers have been almost constant between 12-15,000 for 30 odd years. Total immigrant intake has doubled or tripled in the same period to 190,000. Unfortunately the public focus of the issue has been on boat people and detention centres since it became politicised by Little Johnny and Peter Reith using it to score political points by 'protecting our borders' during the 'children overboard' fiasco. As you allude to, in the big picture on this issue, Australia is quite a good world citizen, but only if we ignore the political point scoring and deplorable treatment in detention centres and turning back boats policy.

so why is it on this forum that nobody ever talks positive? i think my real bitch is about all the negativity on tvf.. day in day out people move to thailand and just complain about things.
Oh, get a sense of humour Mr Deadly Earnest!
Did you not notice that this topic is "most annoying habit"?
Agreed, the negativity on TV can be overwhelming at times, but yours is the only post in this topic that has pissed me off.
This topic is sharing a bit of funny idiosyncratic tongue-in-cheek stuff that we all experience to greater or lesser extent here, from guys who mostly love their mostly small, dark haired, dark-eyed, maybe slightly dark-skinned and flat-nosed, better halves to death.
So keep your negativity to yourself, muppet.

The problem with the NZ solution is that Aust has a unique agreement with NZ that allows its citizens to live and work freely in Aust.. It therefore represents a back door immigration to Aust.
Yes, but you are just repeating what is in the opening article (that you obviously didn't quite finish reading).
Sent from my iPad using Thaivisa Connect -
it will be interesting if other countries such as the US & Canada take the same position as NZ. A matter not mentioned in the OP is Oz is considering taking refugees from a Central American country in a 'swap deal". In the meantime off shore detention is costing the Oz govt $500k p.a. for each detainee.
Not to mention the $55.5 million Cambodia solution that resettled exactly 4 refugees. Dutton is a f..king muppet.

Say what you will about me but please refrain from the insulting putdowns of my amazing wife. That is surprisingly distasteful, even coming from you. After 19 years together I suggest I know her better than anyone else. We are both fluent in each other's language so there is no language or communication barrier either. We chose together and make no effort to force others to follow the path we have chosen. You are free to follow the herd if you wish and may very well be happy doing so.
You realise you implicitly criticized other's wives, but now you're getting touchy when people react. You're obviously very happy in your situation and good on you. Others are happy in theirs. As you rightly say, every one has their own path, but there's no need to pejoratively call it 'following the herd'. Cheers

He did not "lose" his life. The MI he suffered was on its way. Whether he had it moving a tree, or whilst bending over, he was done. The plaque broke off from inside his artery and a blood clot ensued, causing a cascade of events. we don';t know if he had a prior history of heart disease or was a smoker. Sadly, smokers are more likely to incur these types of events.
The upsetting aspect of this story is that if he was helping rescue workers and suffered the event, then those rescue workers should have been able to help. I suppose it is asking too much for "rescue" workers to have access to a portable defibrillator and to be trained in rudimentary intervention. At the very least, they could have given the deceased 2 baby aspirin. That aspirin can make a difference in the recovery process.
There's some chance you are correct but from the information given I don't know how you know he had a Myocardial Infarction. This can only be determined by autopsy. We don't know if he had any underlying heart disease. He may have had any number of cardiac events eg. fatal arrhythmia, burst aneurysm or vessel, heart valve problem, etc etc. He'd lost consciousness so likely in cardiac arrest: 2 aspirin would not achieve much in these circumstances. Got to be good Karma dying while doing a good turn though. RIP.

SYDNEY: -- A burglar in Australia was shot in the buttocks with a bow and arrow after being confronted by an angry homeowner.
Someone's gotta say it - "som num na!".
You'd guess (hope) that arrow would penetrate pretty deeply. He hasn't presented to any hospital yet so let's hope that him and his mates pull it out themselves and avoid the authorities. It'd be hard to charge him if no victim turns up.
The ABC - "Police said inquiries with hospitals had yet to locate anyone treated for an injury consistent with this incident."

They also don't like losing money, so will adjust the prices to reflect the risk.
They need to balance their 'book' so they often will offset with other bookmakers or Betfair.
She's now paying $1.27 for $1 outlay. Donald is $4.60.
So about 1-4 on and 7-2 against. Or 79% chance v 21% chance.
Two days ago it was 72% v 28%. They've matched $170,000,000 to date on the POTUS market. I think cricket is the only other markets that get that big. The Indians go pretty hard on the cricket.

I am not convinced that the risks between 40 and 44 do increase that much, particularly so if the woman is healthy. The chances of them becomng pregnant do decrease rapidly though.
The chances of genetic abnormalities (eg. Down's Syndrome) increase with each year of the age of the mother especially after 35. Some Australian figures:-
At 20 years - 1 in 503
At 25 - 1 in 476
At 30 - 1 in 384
At 35 - 1 in 192
At 40 - 1 in 66
At 45 - 1 in 21
Of course Genetic Tests can be done early in pregnancy to detect for abnormalities.

Yes, agreed. 'Cured' is not the correct word. 'Controlled' would be better.
