Welcome to Thailand. You should go to the government and complain about AAs discrimination. I bet they'll get right on it!!!

Yes you are free to believe whatever you like, I'm the bogeyman.

No, just a sad little man.

I guess what I'm picking up is that it is not really about the food type so much as a sensible diet. For most, that will include carbs, and some of everything.
 
I don't like getting cranky about food.  Just enjoy.

I enjoy as well. I don't need empty carbs to enjoy.

Sorry you can't decide what my intention was.

I did not connect homosexuality with incest.

My question is what is the next social taboo to rise to acceptance and equal rights protection. Or are the progressives finished with tearing down old sensibilities and creating new ones.

 

I can too decide on what your intentions were, and still do.

I use rice noodles a lot in cooking, and sometimes I amaze myself how little I use now per serving (yes I can feel it in my hand) compared to the amount I used to think was an OK portion! I can only estimate the difference, perhaps 1/4 or even 1/5. On the other hand, I just tend to throw in MORE vegetables. I really wish I had learned all this earlier in my life, but oh well, can't turn back the clock.

Have you tried the half shirataki half tofu noodles? They are rally quite nice texture-wise and are almost zero carbs and all fiber. Stir fry with some protein of your choice and a boat load of green veg it is a really nice meal.

I noticed that I probably eat twice as much veggies as my vegetarian friends. They always filling up on rice beans and grains.

Red meat includes beef, lamb, pork, goat, etc.
Personally, I feel going more veggie is a good thing to do for many people, it's also associated with changing to more thin type gut bacteria profiles, but I couldn't be a dogmatic full vegetarian.

Sauerkraut and Kimchi are both great for resetting gut biomes.

Low carb is a choice. If it helps you, great go for it, there is no evidence in the study suggesting going that route will be a hindrance to long term success, with a caveat that this organization has concerns about higher fat diets (based on their results).
I find it interesting that a large majority of these more rare long term success cases are NOT on low carb programs especially during a era of low carb diet fads. If you don't, fine. Again, it doesn't mean that higher carb is the ONLY way either.
Yes food choices matter to satiety. With my current program, I have greatly increased VEGETABLE intake. I also eat a fair amount of healthy fats for satiety -- olive oil, avocado, and almonds. Yummy!

I stick to about 30 grams of carbs a day. That includes a heck of a lot of veggies, some quality animal protein, and fat to top it off. I just don't eat the grains or sugars. So we probably have a similar diet :)

As it's obvious that LOW CARB diets are still quite popular (and also controversial) I thought this item was worthy of a thread. LOW CARB diets are an option and they CAN work for long term weight loss / maintenance success but here is some very strong evidence that they are not a NECESSITY (in general). Here goes. Hold on to your seats:

There was much more similarity in the strategies usedfor weight-loss maintenance. We found four strategies thatwere common to a large proportion of NWCR participants.These were: 1) eating a low-calorie, low-fat diet; 2) eatingbreakfast almost every day; 3) frequent self-monitoring;and 4) engaging in high levels of physical activity.a. Dietary Composition: In general, NWCR participantsreported eating low-calorie diets that are moderatelylow in fat and high in carbohydrates.

See that? HIGH IN CARBS. Not low. HIGH. Also of course low carb diets can often be high fat as well, so if using a low carb diet there is a clue here to avoid going too fat on it. Most of the successful long term were also on LOWER FAT diets. http://www.lifeafterdiets.com.au/resources/NWCR_Overview.pdf This is perhaps the largest group of SUCCESSFUL long term weight losers / maintainers ever studied in the world and the study has been going for over TWENTY years. Those years included times when LOW CARB diets were super trendy, which makes this finding even more amazing. If you can point to a larger sample study of success cases going for a longer time, please do! To be clear, this is not an indictment of low carb diets or suggesting they can't be successful. In fact this same organization has a paper that concludes that it IS possible to achieve weight loss and maintenance success with low carb diets but cautions about low carb diets that are too high fat. However, it does deeply challenge any DOGMATIC low carb dieters who in any way suggest their way is the only way. Because really without any doubt at all: IT IS NOT. In my view of this, I suggest any dogmatic messages about low carb being the holy grail be forevermore REJECTED. You know, its common and perhaps a part of human nature, for some people to have an experience themselves that seems positive and conclude they have discovered the answer for everyone. Also sometimes trying to CONVERT people to their belief system. For example I've had what seem like amazing results with garcinia cambogia supplement but I can cite no long term studies of people doing what I'm doing, so the LAST thing I would do is suggest my experiment basically as a holy grail for everyone. A study like the one cited provides some strong clues about what is likely to work for lots of people though, and with good long term EVIDENCE.
Your link to that website doesn't exist.

Sure, if you eat a low calorie low fat diet you will lose weight. But it is hard to keep up that sort of diet and most people will not be able to keep it up.

A ketogenic diet curbs the appetite, and puts you eventually converts the body's chemistry from being a sugar burner to being a fat burner.

Peer reviewed research abounds now about this, I'm not sure what your major research' origins are from. Real research?

I think it's an interesting evolution in regards to sexuality and gender. It's all so fluid and why not give people a chance to experiment?

My head is swimming with all of this. But yes, most are not gender identities but sexual preferences.

They already have those.
Anyhow, I'm not being a bigot. I clarified my original comment with my second one.

No you tried to rework what was originally intended to be derogatory towards gay people by equating it with incest. If you are going to assert such notions, st least try to stand up for them and don't slink around like that's not what you actually meant.

Looks to me like a guy who secretly thinks dicks look delicious.

I was there on the 25th and 26th, everything seemed fine except for the dogs lazing all over the roads. Not sure if anything changed since.

Great, thanks so much for your input! I'll wait to see if anyone else chimes in but it seems like everything is good to go. As long as we can get into the city and the sites aren't underwater then I think we would really like to go there. It's a nice drive there from Bangkok and so peaceful and quiet, plus trekking around all day and then sitting at the river for lunch is exquisite.

Hi, have some relatives in town here in BKK and would like to do my usual day trip to Bang Pa In and the main sites in Ayutthaya.

 

What's accessibility at the moment? Is the road clear to those destinations and are the main heritage sites accessible? Would appreciate any feedback.

 

Also if you were to add any other interesting points in line with those two I mentioned, what would they be? I usually do the two sites, then lunch on the river before heading back to BKK. Looking mainly to add one more thing after lunch.

 

Thanks!

People don't know because it has never really happened here.  

 

They shuffle leaders and call it reform but it's still the same old reindeer games.

It's actually subservience to the power pyramid...and the blind devotion to the the tip of the pyramid.

What % are from motorcycles? Must be at least 85%. I don't have sympathy for them.

a little cradle for your phone costs around 200 baht, and can be easily removed should you not want it.  Cars should come with it as a default.

They may be literate but don't use their literacy skills for anything beyond inane facebook posts.

Anyone heard of tasers?

So it's just targeting people working here without proper documentation it seems.
