I live in the Philippines in a village where my partner cooks my food and I am on the oatmeal breakfast and my weight and BP are both down, eating lots of fruit and vegetables, same as I do when I am in my Isaan village.

    There is this guy, Dr. Colin Campbell, who wrote a few books about the benefits of WFPB (whole food plant based) nutrition. He did a huge study (30 years in total IIRC) in the Chinese countryside, ana

  • I lost 12 pounds one night drinking peppermint schnapps and flaming shot of Jack.   I'm not sure that was a good thing, though.   I couldn't stomach peppermint toothpaste for years

  • I've gained 10Kg or more in a year of living here!

Also beware of all the MSG in Thai food.

 

 Monosodium Glutamate is one of the most common amino acids found in nature. In abundance in all food. New studies show that it is pretty harmless too.

Speakeasy asked a question regarding beer and how Tiger is supposedly less fattening than Leo beer. Would have been nice to get a proper answer from the poster instead third party  armchair posters who decide to post waffle. Oh well i guess i expected too much requiring a civil informative reply from TV bar stool 'experts'. 

All beer makes you fat ?

 

Some baiting and bickering posts have been removed. Time to end it.

Good for you.  Just stay off the Leo beer .... 10% more calories than Heineken and 20% more than Tiger !!!

Whatever, enjoy the Isaan village life

Again... how do you know Leo is more fattening than Tiger and Heineken. Unless you can supply the facts why post useless misinformed waffle? Please deal with the question or restract the statement.

Found this online giving calories

Where do they publish those calorie stats ?

The amount of calories in beer is dependent on the level of alcohol. The higher the alcohol the more calories.

You haven’t lost any weight, it’s just that your wallet is much lighter!

Well myfitnesspal.com search lists a 330ml can of Leo beer as 129 calories and Tiger as 130. Somebody is wrong.......

Whats the saying about lies, damm lies, and statistics? ?

Hi Mike,

Unless Im reading it incorrectly My Fitness Pal has a 330ml Leo as 165 Calories, Heineken 139 Calories (150 on another), and Tiger at 137. Tiger Light (watery beyond belief!) 110 Calories.

Who cares really, not sure about everyone else but Leo has least effect the following morning!!!

It's easy enough to do. Lots of fat and carbs, along with lethargy from the heat.

The name given to "ten to the power of one hundred" is a google. Funnily enough this is also the name of a reliable internet search engine. You should try using it sometime instead of these pathetic, ill-mannered, cantankerous rants of yours. 

LOL> you should Google "Googol", which is "ten to the power of one hundred". Google is only a search engine.

Exactly. That’s why they named the company as such. My wife calls it “Googen”, but that’s another story!!!

Had another look at my fitness pal, it has “beer (Leo), serving size 1 can (330ml) “ at 129 calories, but a small bottle of Leo (330ml) at 165 calories ....so it must be the glass bottle that makes you fat ?

Moral of this story ? ...take all internet statistics with a grain of salt !

But I can definitely state that a large bottle of Leo is statistically lighter on my wallet than Singha, or Heineken. ?

And again. Next time formal warnings will be given.

If you’re worried about calories from alcohol it’s better and easier just to eat less 

 

Would much rather save calories for something that will drug me for hours, than 1-2 minutes of pleasure 

Ya yes, Thai English. Using Googen on my Appen phone, setting at the tabben. ( where have all the “le’s” gone? )
