    7000 islands in the Philippines.

     

    Only a few like Boracay and Alona Beach (Bohol) are crowded with tourists and such.  The mass majority of Phils beaches are quite tourist free, or very limited...mostly the foreigners you see on most islands are solely there for the Diving.

     

    That being said, the beaches are amazing, and it is quite common to be on a boat going to one island that you've read about in the Lonely Planet, only to bypass other gorgeously beautiful beaches, that have no Lonely Planet reference about whatsoever....

     

    In other words, there are tons of them....tons and tons and tons.  Throw the Philippines map on the wall, throw a dart, and whatever island you hit, look it up in the Lonely Planet, and they'll tell you several white-sand beaches..and go there.

     

    As an aside...renting bungalows is usually a tourist thing. Not that they don't have them, but looking for bungalows implies you are looking for a tourist beach with other foreigners on them, the type that would occupy bungalows on a beach.

     

     

    Yes, hard to find bungalow on uncrowded islands, and anyway most of the time there is no 24h electricity, water and Internet. This is why PI s u c k s !

    I agree, if you're talking about the major brands such as Kraft, Heinz, Wishbone, etc. However, there are boutique brands that actually are quite healthy.  I trust some of those brands more than I trust the vegetables in Thailand.

     

     

    Try olive oil only, you do not need anything else, and anything that you do not make yourself is sh+t.

    There are many different varieties of healthy salad dressings beyond a basic olive oil and vinegar. Brands such as Bragg, Primal Kitchen, Hilary's and Marzetti are just a few options.  I just don't really feel like making my own every day.

    Sorry but if you trust ang brand and factory product, it's a bit hopeless...

    Has anyone found any V low carb sausages here?

     

    most of the ones I've found in Tops / Max Value has bloody sugar in them.

     

    I recommend Bamboo Lebanese restaurant on Suk Soi 3 for all low carbers.

     

    they have a top selection of grilled meats and salads.

     

    Its open 24 hours and I often have a breakfast of the mixed grill and Arabic salad. 10g Carbs Max

    Still open ?

         You are 100% right!  However, It is not that Americans are looking for the easy way and the pills and the operations.  They are NOT EVER given any other options.   In the US doctors are not allowed to prescribe exercise or diet and the vast majority do not even try to give good advice.   They need to get to the next patient.  The US doctor starts with your diagnosis and then prescribes a treatment.  They do not tell you why you are sick!  And they do not make any lifestyle recommendations that might alleviate your medical problem.    

           It is almost impossible to get a doctor to work with you on lowering blood pressure or diabetes medications.   They are not trained to do that and don't want to get into that type of treatment as it is NOT approved by the AMA.  In fact, some will violently right in huge letters that you are refusing treatment on your medical file.  They think you are trying to draw them into a lawsuit for medical malpractice.   If the doctor insist you take the drugs or get the surgery he has done his job.  He is within the legal requirements necessary for his profession. 

           We really need to rethink this carefully. 

         

     

    If peoplr were spending less time on stupid Facebook and try to learn something, they would know. No more excuse since Internet exists !

    We are talking about Europe here.. in some ways Europeans are more advanced than in the US. Seems the US always goes for the easy way (pills and operations) instead of the hard but less dangerous way of changing ones diet. I think the pharmaceutical organisations are far more powerful there. I also think there is more corruption over there as the stuff you (or someone else) posted about sugar how they bribed researchers. 

     

    US and Thai style.

    I suggest you refrain from commenting on subjects you know nothing about in case others think you're "being retarded".

     

    Jae is taken so seriously that even the vessels used for cooking such food must not have ever been used for regular food.

     

     

    I also think that you canmot know Thai very well to say this...

    To the contrary, Thai people are very conscientious about preparing food that is truly vegan during the vegetarian festival. Even when it is not vegetarian festival, if you buy food from a vegetarian restaurant, you can be sure it is vegan. For many Thais, this is a religious issue to them.

     

    I agree that you are totally wrong.
