I agree. I refuse to be in videos. Even a photo is not to my liking.

Hi Folks, If some of you are like me, just too flabby to move around effortlessly, then maybe you will enjoy following along here to see how my New and Improved 3-C diet melts off the flab. I have never had much problem with being overweight, in my teens, or in my uni years, being the powerful stroke oarsman that I used to be. However, during the pandemic, and even now, my belly skin is beginning to look rather saggy in the mirror. And when I pinch the skin around my belly, it's hanging too much for my taste. I have studied a few diets, and they are all full of baloney. Therefore, I believe that my 3-C diet is just as valid as most of the rest of them, put together. What I will do is to broil chicken breasts and put them in my crock pot, together with carrots, cabbage, ginger and about a cup of beer, to give it flavor. Then, I will eat this concoction in a bowl, after adding a small amount of rice,, to give the thing more body and make it palatable. Sure, I've got plenty of fiber from the cabbage and carrots. And the chicken breasts will provide enough protein. Certainly this is a more healthy diet that the Inuit enjoyed in recent centuries, and even up to the present. The body adjusts to eating just about anything, as long as you have got enough protein, IMHO. Some guys live on blood of the ox and milk of the ox, for that matter. This kind of a diet is far too extreme for me, even if I had the cattle handy around my house. This is not a joke post, however. I DO intend to follow this diet for most meals. Plus, of course, I will add in one 5-egg omelet once per day. And, I will consume one can of tuna per day. Therefore, I should have called this diet something like... My New 3-C PLUS Diet. Plus, being the omelets and the cans of tuna. I am pretty good at eating the same thing, day after day, even though I would prefer a more varied diet of the GREAT Cuisine available in Thailand. No Pizza for me, of course. Well, what do you guys think? How much flab can I get rid of in one month on this diet? YES, I DID purchase, on Lazada, a Xiaomi Weight Scale, as was suggested by a kind commenter on TV, about three days ago. And, thank you MUCH for your suggestion, too! I will take delivery of the scale on January 04, if all goes well. So, this is about it. I will stay on my diet for one month and see what happens. In my view, it will be the CABBAGE and the CARROTS that will be most helpful to me.... Especially the CABBAGE! No problem... I will keep you guys posted. Best regards, Flabby and Flatulent (Cabbage)... Gamma NOTE: In preparation of this diet, I purchased 10 kilograms of cabbage at the local market. The cost of the cabbage, last week, was Bt.30 per kilo, or maybe it was not a kilo. At the market, maybe they use catties, or some other Thai weigh unit. Anyway, Bt30 per some Thai unit. Anyone know what unit of weight measure is used in the small local markets? I wish everyone would use the kilogram. We need to use Science to Weigh our food, and use units of measure according to the SI Unit System....

So then...if I were to use the Samsung S3, as a ZERO Cost solution...then.... Any good Audio Player apps that might work best on such an old Operating System? I am toying with the idea of installing Linux on the S3, just get free of the forced obsolescence of commercial software.. But, I have never tried using Linux on a phone....and...I don't want to screw up the S3, which might happen. I used to use Linux on my desktops, and still do. But, I don't want to root the phone.... I don't like working with mobile devices, have had zero experience. (Easiest solution is to just find a cheap MP3 player....I think.)

You are so creative. Must be the pot talking... But still, good advice for a better exercise workout... The 8-Track players of old were quite heavy...

Is she the one I noticed in one of your videos, sitting on the BeanBag furniture at a beach on the eastern shore of Thailand?

Good Advice. Actually, I already have a Samsung S3 phone that is old, 2013. I used it no more than about a year before I got a new phone. But, the PROBLEM is that the new apps do not work very well on the S3, due to forced obsolescence (new apps are not designed for the older OS, for example. Otherwise, the S3 still has really good audio, and a super good screen, too! Maybe there is a better audio app that might work faster on the S3. I could investigate further. But then, I thought that just getting a cheap MP3 player might be an even better solution. My budget is quite low because I will listen to audio ONLY for spoken Thai recordings and NOT for music....I think.... AND....I CANNOT BELIEVE, as you say, just how EXPENSIVE the MP3 players are, these days! lIKE.... 10,000 Baht for a Sony Walkman!!!!! That is a CRAZY price, IMHO...

Thanks, Man!!!!! I wish I Spoke Thai LIKE a THAI!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! The only way is to keep on keeping on..... (I began in 2013) Reading and Speaking Thai is MORE difficult than learning to read and speak Chinese. BELIVE ME!

Are there any audio players which work well for Thai Language learning while exercising? Must be available on Lazada. Must be able to easily see and change audio tracks. Must have socket for headphones, and have enough power to drive a set of Audio Technica headphones. Must have rechargeable battery. Anybody know?

How many Isan women might like this?.... The Mozart Effect.... https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC1281386/ Anyway, I think Einstein was wrong. Mozart is a NitWit compared to my great JS Bach! I wish more Isan women would get into JS Bach.

You mean they got rhythm?

USA IQ is about 97 to 98. Dummies compared to Japan, HK, Shanghai, etc. https://psmag.com/social-justice/classical-music-linked-to-high-intelligence-27959

This is correct. This is what the data shows. This was my meaning. And, this is why, in Thailand, people listen to the grade of music they do, is my guess. Very simple music with an easily detectable and predictable drum beat.

Yes. Easy to google the information, in fact.

Yes. There is also a link between listening to classical music, such as JS Bach, and IQ, for that matter.

The CNN paragraph about TaiNan was written by this old bag from Hong Kong... https://www.scmp.com/author/maggie-hiufu-wong How would someone from Hong Kong know much about Tainan, Taiwan? She hasn't a clue. Don't believe me? Just go visit the place for yoursefl. You just cannot trust travel writers, these days, because they get most of their information off the internet. When they actually go to some destination, they form biased opinions based on just a short glimpse of the place. I was in Taiwan before the end of Martial Law. And, the best times in Taiwan were under martial law. Now, Taiwan is a dump. The young people are worse today than even the Strawberry Tribe were. Taiwan was fun in the early 1980s....however. Almost impossible to buy decent cheese back then... Go there and see for yourself.

CNN is full of baloney, obviously. Who even watches CNN, these days. I used to watch CNN when it was first available in Taiwan at the hotels. How many years ago, I forget. Anyway, I lived in Taiwan from 1979 to 2013. Lived in Tainan, Taipei, on the east coast of Taiwan, in the mountains, and it all stinks. Thailand is just so much better. Also, the people in Thailand are superior in every way. Such a disgusting place, Taiwan, really....

I must admit.. I would eat a pizza there.

Yes. This is about the only edible Taiwanese food. SAN BEI JI I used to order this regularly in Tainan.

Tainan? Yes. I was there before the city streets were paved. I lived there for about 6 years. Very flat and boring place. Plenty of Betel Nut Girls. Factories aplenty. The people there are not very sophisticated. Dearth of bookstores. Very boring! The condos there are disgusting. If you want plastic injection molding, then Tainan used to be the place.

The only food that Taiwan does best is BEEF NOODLES. So, better eat beef noodles rather than pizza in Taiwan.

Lousy Pizza in Taiwan. Unless you like corn and pineapple pizza. Taiwan has some of the worst pizza in the world. You might find checking out the Betel Nut Girls to be far more interesting. Actually, nothing to see in Taiwan, with over 640 people per square kilometer, Taiwan is one of the most densely populated places in the world. The beaches are disgusting, and you can find chicken bones in the sand. These days, the Palace Museum is tremendously overcrowded. The Grand Hotel, where I used to live, was ruined in a fire. Now, the indoor décor is cheap and garish. Not only the pizza stinks, but so does most of the Taiwanese food. Hard to find Chinese food in Taiwan.

Average IQ in Thailand = 89 So, it's understandable that there may be some flat-earthers here, too.

I always listen to Noam Chomsky expound on these topics. But, yes, you are correct that the Americans are unable to vote due to the fact that Democracy has been crushed in the USA. There is NOTHING to vote FOR that matters. Most Americans have no idea about the causes of what is happening to them, these days. So, they blame it on conspiracy theories and engage in plenty of superstition. Meanwhile, the divide between the rich and poor becomes even more obscene.

You are correct that anything inedible is NOT used in preparing Chinese cuisine. As to Chinese Baozi for breakfast, as mentioned by another poster above, there are many kinds. And, probably, you CANNOT get them outside China, where they are cheap and plentiful, and available as early as 5:00 AM. I am just sorry that I can no longer live in China, due to the political situation since 1949. Otherwise, I would live there 6 months a year, and Thailand 6 months a year....for the food if nothing else. Someday, I may visit Italy, where I can have Italian food.... The Real Italian food. Until then, no pizza for me here in Thailand. I'm unable to tolerate the disappointment after purchase. I have never seen a proper pizza oven in Thailand. Wood fired pizza oven, I mean.

Strangely enough, you rarely will see a fat bike courier in NYC.
