Suggestions on child rearing to improve the development of social skills in Thai children.
Stop bottle-feeding 4 year-olds and stop chasing 5 year-olds around with bowls of food in order to spoon-feed them.
There are kids that are around 8 or 9 years old in my village that have the nanny chasing after them with the bowl of mush thing going on.

A three year old cannot remember his phone number? Oh my goodness! This article is redunkulous.

He did not go down well at his last appearance in Bkk. Thais expect a show for their money, not just an old bloke sitting at a piano belting out past glories. Hope he has some better advice for this one.
I am not into his scene but I am sure that there are a few in Thailand that are. The ladyboys will be flocking to his show I am sure.
Well the homophobes are out tonight!

Just him and his piano and voice was a great and captivating show. I was in the 5th row and everyone I saw was very happy with the performance.

I don't think there would be to many Thais who could afford the 2,000 baht ticket prices or are these the farang prices and Thai citizen prices start at 30 baht?
Concerts at those prices are full of Thais.
Really geez, Paying 25% of your monthly wage is a lot.. A little like me trying to find around $1,500 AUD for the cheapest ticket. far to expensive
Plenty of middle class families making combined incomes of 75K plus.

I saw Elton John in concert back in the States. He puts on a great concert. Hope to catch this one.
I saw him about 10 years ago here at Muang Thong Thani. Great show.

Gone are the days when songs stayed in the charts for many months. These days, a song shoots into the top 10 for a week or two and then disappears into the ether.
Oh, you mean back in the days when a band meant musicians playing instruments?
There are plenty of bands out there that play their instruments. Lots of really good bands. You just have to look. PRoblem is most people when they reach the age of 30 or so stop looking for bands they would like and complain instead about what mass media pumps out on the radio, pining for the days of yore when they were a kid and all the bands were good.

I was underwhelmed by the burger I had at the Mega mall complex. I ordered a double, but no bun, and instead of the bun extra veggies of some sort (I do low carb). They gave me a single on the plate, but tried to charge me for a double. And they provided nothing else for not getting a bun (which I guess I can accept). Also, I asked for a medium rare burger, but was given some lukewarm consistently brown throughout burger (like it was pre-cooked actually).
I found the burger very mealy - not juicy or 'beefy' like I was expecting. It was like they had used a bunch of soy filler or something with the beef. I know good beef, I buy good beef for myself. Spending 300 Baht for a bacon cheeseburger that didn't even taste as good as a cheap Mcdonald's burger was a bit off-putting. I wonder if this is a case for only the Mega branch? I had pretty big expectations and with the beef they promote and the price they charge I was expecting a good sized plate of food and quality meat.
Oh well, first time, last time, and I will be sure to communicate my experience to others.

Now I want you to use your very considerable expertise to analyze this lab report from one following the what you know as an unhealthy diet and point out its indicators of DANGER:
No, sod off and do it yourself. I have told you am not interested.
I will give you a pointer, Google Atkins diet dangers, you will find stuff to keep you busy the rest of your life........
Google the dangers of excessive high processed carb diet as well, plenty to see!

Or just kill yourself now and be done with it, perhaps that is what Atkins did?
Or perhaps you don't know what the frack you're talking about? He slipped on the ice and died of a brain haemorrhage. Sorry to ruin your little fantasy.
So you know more than the medical examiner, ....or maybe you don't know what the frack you are talking about. Believe what you like, I don't give a shit.
You don't give a shit, I guess cause you know you were wrong! haha.
On April 8, 2003, at age 72, Dr. Atkins slipped on the ice while walking to work, hitting his head and causing bleeding around his brain. He lost consciousness on the way to the hospital, where he spent two weeks in intensive care. His body deteriorated rapidly and he suffered massive organ failure. During this time, his body apparently retained an enormous amount of fluid, and his weight at death was recorded at 258 pounds. His death certificate states that the cause of death was "blunt impact injury of head with epidural hematoma".

And just for the education of certain posters have a read of this. Please note the use of high protein diet!
The Atkins Diet Debate
Dr. Atkins revolutionalized the dieting world when he introduced the Atkins diet, a low-carb eating program. The Atkins diet or the ‘Atkins Nutritional Approach’ is a lifetime nutritional.....
Good and fine, but this article misrepresents the Atkins Diet, and is obviously written by somebody who touts the high carb diet.

Dr. Jack Kruse has a whole regimen, which is fairly high protein low carb, with timed out meals, that supposedly helps to reset the leptin. Mark Sisson also talks about it. I might try it out, it seems to match what I do. IIRC, it also promotes intermittent fasting, which I have used successively in the past. I actually IF once or twice a week....heard that it helps to jar the metabolism...

BANGKOK: -- New UK Ambassador Mark Kent doesn't look like your usual reserved diplomat. He carries a black backpack almost everywhere, and it's heavy. So what's in there?
Nipple clamps, baby oil, fishnet stockings. The usual items a British gentleman keeps in his black backpack!...

"Sugar and processed carbs are highly addictive," Where on earth did you get that from? We all consume both on a daily basis, repeated use of heroine can be described as "highly addictive". Some of the statements you guys make, all very dramatic, but total nonsense.
Researcher says sugar is as addictive as cocaine
LINDSAY GOLDWERT
Monday, April 02, 2012
Dr. Robert Lustig thinks America needs to go to rehab for sugar addiction.
According to brain scans, sugar is as addictive as cocaine, the California-based endocrinologist told CBS News’ “60 Minutes.”
It causes a euphoric effect that triggers dopamine, the chemical that controls pleasure in the brain.
The average America eats a third of a pound of sugar every day — 130 pounds a year.
Lustig says his research proves that the sweet stuff causes heart disease and cancer, as well as Type 2 diabetes and obesity.
And its not just the added sweeteners we add to our foods, like table sugar, or the desserts we eat.
Sugar is everywhere in foods where we least suspect it, including breads, yogurt, peanut butter and sauces.
Sugar consumption is down 40% since the 1970s but high fructose corn syrup consumption is way up.
Kimber Stanhope, a nutrional biologist at the University of California Davis, believes that a calorie isn’t just a calorie and that overconsumption of high-fructose corn syrup increases risk for heart attack and stroke.
According to her research, when a person consumes too much sugary food and drink, the liver begins to convert some of that fructose to fat. This fat can lead to an increase in dangerous LDL cholesterol that can form plaque in the arteries.
Too much sugar is also linked to many kinds of cancers, including breast and colon cancer.
Some tumors have insulin receptors which feed on glucose, according to Lewis Cantley, a Harvard professor and the head of the Beth Israel Deaconess Cancer Center.
There is some irony in America’s rising sugar intake. Since the 1970s, we’ve been told that too much fat is unhealthy. Food manufacturers responded but the results have backfired on our health.
“Take the fat out of food, it tastes like cardboard,” said Lustig. “And the food industry knew that. So they replaced it with sugar.”
CBS News talked with Jim Simon of the Sugar Association, who voiced doubts as whether sugar is root of all dietary evil.
“To say that the American consuming public is going to completely omit, eliminate, sweeteners out of their diet I don't think gets us there,” he said.
All the experts agreed that quitting sugary drinks and added sugar to foods is a good place to start.
Lustig has co-authored a report with the American Heart Association recommending men should consume no more than 150 calories of added sugars a day. And women, just 100 calories.

They found by testing the blood for these 2 hormones over a 24 hour period that fat people never get very hungry. Ghrelin sits around the middle, between high and low, all day and the "full hormone" does the same. Normal people have a spike and trough with these 2 hormones, switching their hunger on and off.
How fast or slowly they eat is inconsequential. These people are fighting major hormonal disturbances.
I believe if you can get your body into ketosis for a couple weeks your body rapidly starts to realign all the hormones at work. I know when I used to eat milled or processed carbs, or sugar or sweet, highly cultivated fruit, that I never knew if I was hungry or not.
I havent seen research to support this, do you have any links. I am curious about this. Right now im low in my carbs (no ketosis i think) but i would not mind trying ketosis though its hard as there are carbs in almost anything.
If you type "Kalli's Leptin Reset Experiment page" it takes you to Mark's Daily Apple, where he has been experimenting with low carb and IF to reset hormones. I believe Dr. Jack Kruze is the originator of this particular LC diet.
Low carb is not difficult, esp. if you can cook for yourself. I eat way less street food now because it all seems to have too much MSG in it. I have a slow cooker, you can get one and Central for about 800 Baht. Put some beef or pork or chicken in it with LC veggies, and a little bit of water, and go to work or bed. When you come home or wake up, you have beautiful fall off the bone meat. I'll let it cool down then partition it off, freeze some and use it throughout the week.
These days I'm subsisting on meats, eggs, good oils, and all kinds of green veg (broccoli, lettuce, cucumbers, green peppers, and cauliflower - I know, it's not green). I use very little dairy except for butter (I buy grated cheddar in packs from foodland, and sprinkle a little over a salad just for fun and extra fat. Definitely no grain, sugar, starch or other carb stuff. My Fat/Protein/Carb ratio is pretty consistently 70/25/5 or so. I drink 3-4 liters of water, and only occasionally have a vodka and soda if I want some alcohol.
You'll find that cutting out the carbs and depleting your glycogen is a little rough for the first 3-5 days, after that you feel really good, have lots of energy, and the best thing of all is you stop thinking about eating, but recognise true hunger when it hits.
I used to be so bloated, and my feet were always puffy and I even started getting gout. Since I have been keto, I feel like a new man, and have lost an enormous amount of weight.

2. The reasoning behind eating what you want, is that if you deny yourself all the things you really like, you will crave them and that craving may cause you to just give up and binge, a common thing for dieters. If you have a little of what you fancy, it will help in the willpower battle. It is unlikely that an intelligent person would convert their entire diet to chocolate, but if they do it is more likely to make them sick, than put on a lot of weight..
Not sure about this one, the others I agree with. Sugar and processed carbs are highly addictive, and I believe in a way a true alcoholic can't have even one sip of alcohol, some some people just as well have to avoid white carbs (and maybe even dark ones), or they will binge.

That's why the state of ketosis is so good....it reduces the appetite, and your body, once it uses up the glycogen in the liver, starts using your fat as fuel. This can be achieved while still having a good 4-5 servings of green and colourful veggies every day.

I do fairly light weight training, just to get tone. I like my body shape from swimming....svelte!

I'm an Obama kind of guy but really no matter which one gets the office I doubt there would be much difference in results four years from now.
