  1. I don't believe in the 'carbon footprint', and just a tax scam. Of course better to charge with renewable energy, and why we have solar. I just don't believe anything VW or Toyota states, as been caught lying through their teeth, and are simply 2 of the must untrustworthy auto makers out there ... IMHO
  2. VW ... what next, a Toyota study ... Two lying untrustworthy auto makers Not even IMHO ... that's a fact Jack.
  3. Only an idiot would, unless personally knowing them
  4. Well, they won't be on Soi 6, maybe 7-11 on Walking St, if one over there. I never have a problem finding, but then, I leave the house once in a while
  5. List for all 'Keto approved' foods here: https://www.drberg.com/blog/ketogenic-diet-food-list Keto really isn't that limiting to what you can eat, as more than enough for me, as this list, what I would eat, if all available in TH. Most of the list is.
  6. Correct, as my usual BMI is 25, and at borderline 'overweight', yet I'm almost the same weight I was when I got out of military boot camp, and not an ounce of fat on me then. I'm 4-5 kg over weight now. Should be gone by end of November at the latest. When your stomach measures more than waist or shoulders, time to pay attention
  7. Experimenting so protein / carb % aren't what I want. Getting a slight rise in glucose now from the egg noodles I had for dinner. 150 gr / 37.7 gr carb
  8. Beef, broccoli, egg noodles
  9. Why I limit the carbs, so body burns fat for energy, since carbs aren't available. Try to stick with fibrous veggies, and avoid starchy carbs; potatoes & pasta. Rice is easy to avoid, as not really a fan, especially the crap white rice in TH. Bread (whole wheat) is an Achilles heel for me, but I got that way down from the past. 100 gr a day, if that, vs half a loaf
  10. Also what, how, when and in what order you eat. As mention earlier, here or elsewhere, experimenting with a CGM (constant glucose monitor) for 2 weeks, to pinpoint exact what, how & when influences the spikes.
  11. Keto ish, is easily sustainable for me. As I stated above, I was trying to introduce some more fiber, via carbs, but chose unwisely; corn flakes & rolled oats, and nothing but sugar. I did change up today, and had 2 scrambled eggs before the bowl of cereal, no sugar spike. Yesterday it was first meal, and 38 mg/dl spike. Also about 30% more cereal yesterday. So brekkie now will be eggs or eggs & cereal or toast.
  12. I'm opposite, and prefer ... Carbs 15% or less Protein 35% Fat 50% Yesterday, due to some experimenting, carbs & protein reversed ...
  13. No need for hunger pains. Do need to keep busy, or will power, to avoid eating simply when bored. Or at least have healthy snacks to munch on. I usually eat just before 1200 noon, and done at 1800. Yesterday was busy so didn't start until 1500 hrs. I only ate 984 calories yesterday, 1500-1800 hrs and wasn't hungry at all ...
  14. If buying new, do yourself a favor and peek at Riddara RD6 (BEV - full electric), if a dealer near you. That would be my choice, though not for everyone. No recommendation for an ICE truck, as I'd never own one myself. https://thailand.riddara.com/th-th/riddara-rd6
  15. Keeping a healthy immune system is best way to avoid getting sick. IMHO Has been for me, and seems easy enough to accomplish with healthy eating choices and a wee bit of exercise. Many bacterial & viral infections even easier to keep at bay, using a bit of common sense and making the right choices; foods, venues, your own personal hygiene.
  16. Built in safeguards against that. 1. some charge for reserving 2. time slot are allotted, and you book that slot. 3. you have grace period to show, then it releases that cable to drive in customers. We reserved 15 ish minutes before arriving, knowing we'd be there at that time, or a few minute earlier. MG for instance, can't reserve until 15 min prior, (no charge), not sure about grace period before cancelled. We really don't bother reserving, unless necessary, rare, 2X in 3 yrs, as there's another CS right down the road in most areas, especially the major roads, and not so major roads. O&A probably 17k of our 51k kms, and never a problem finding an open CS. Keeps getting easier, as they add CS, so demand & profits are there. Now they are installing 'Hubs', anywhere from 6-12 charging cables available. Pretty impressive actually, considering all the unhappy EV'ers in other countries, crying about not enough & too expensive. TH - cost to travel 340 kms ... ... MG ZS EV - < ฿370 @ ฿8 / kWh X 46.3kWh ... MG ZS ICE - > ฿770 @ ฿31.78 X 24.285 liters @ 14 kms / liter
  17. Also not seeing the need for more speed (hp/torque) and we drive exclusively in 'ECO'. Faster charging would be nice, as ZS is limited to 76kWh, but not sure how much time that would actually cut off our CS top ups, as we don't eat that fast. I thought we racked up the kms, but took us 3 yrs (come 30 Oct) to get to 51k kms. Got 2 doctor appts (wife & dog), or we'd be racking up a few more. Instead of being O&A this month, kind of home bound. Like traveling before tourist & smog season hits.
  18. I thought that was a bit strange myself, although, IF, he could sell the old one for near the price of the new one, after discount price, IF, no price drop, then it might make sense. If we could sell the MG ZS for the price of new MG S5, we would, 50k less kms & life time battery warranty, and nice incentive to. But doubt if we'd get 400-500k for the ZS. Actually like the unique front of the 2022 ZS, as E5 looks like every other SUV's front end.
  19. I like Yum also, if not too spicy
  20. " and no alcohol was found in the driver’s system following an initial test."
  21. Big difference with 'foreigners in the news' than 'locals in the news' for being cited for the same thing. AN is a business site catering to foreigners, in case you haven't noticed. Thais getting a traffic citation without injury or death doesn't garner much traffic or comments. Though somehow the Thai bashing rocks on, even when it has nothing to do with them ...
  22. Yea, not the Philly Orchestra w/Ormandy at the helm, doing all 12 ish minute of Willy Tell.
  23. The past couple months, I allowed more carbs back into my diet, specifically cereal (corn flakes/oats), as pre 2000 hr snack, and it totally screwed up my overnight fast. That and being O&A for half of the time, and eating carbs. Gained 5kg and going back on my stricter Keto ish diet. Picked up a CGM (constant glucose monitor) yesterday, and testing. Major glucose spike with that bowl of cereal, which was only .... ... 20 gr corn flakes ... 25 gr rolled oats ... 65 gr blueberries ... 120 ml while milk It spiked glucose up 38 mg/dl, and it wasn't the blueberries, as this guy got a lower spike, eating 100 gr. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kuQlxNPh7yA For dinner I had 225 gr burger + ketchup (225 gr = double Whopper beef amount), no salad on Makro burger roll. Initially went down (dilute any carbs still digesting) then up a tad (maybe the roll), then dropped considerably. Got the CGM for 2 weeks of free monitoring, so will test out all the things I eat. Many things I don't need to, as the channel above has done already. Definitely off the small bowl of cereal @ 2000 hrs. Ate the burger at 1800 hrs, and didn't need to snack afterwards. As usually have a hard time sleeping at midnight ish, if hungry. CGM is pretty cool, as showed glucose dropping overnight while sleeping to really low level. Gives those super ketones time to do their work. CGM was extremely inexpensive compared the USA pricing of the YT'er's service plan. https://www.lazada.co.th/products/i5450235368-s23122936215.html?urlFlag=true&mp=1&tradePath=omItm&tradeOrderId=1042260849569891&tradeOrderLineId=1042260849669891&spm=spm%3Da2o42.order_details.item_title.1
