ThailandRyan Posted December 30, 2021 Share Posted December 30, 2021 4 minutes ago, robblok said: I eat oats too, not because its cheap but because its easy. Bit of oats, some milk, some protein powder. Then let it soak and put in the microwave for a bit. Breakfast is ready. I add the protein powder as oats is not high in protein and its protein that keeps me from getting hungry. As for that great English breakfast, taste wise it beats oats, but like you said it will kill you nor is good for weight control. Overnight oats made with blueberries, strawberries and a touch of honey flavored greek yogurt mixed with lowfat milk is a great breakfast or mid day snack.

Thunglom Posted December 30, 2021 Share Posted December 30, 2021 4 minutes ago, KannikaP said: In a dry wine, all the sugar has been converted to alcohol. As yes! This is one of those alcoholic’s myths. All wine is made from the process of converting the grape's innate sugar to alcohol via fermentation. Simply stated, if a wine's fermentation is stopped well before all of the sugar is converted to alcohol, the wine will contain more residual sugar and taste sweeter on the palate. Both dry red wines and dry white wines will tend to be lower in residual sugar levels, weighing in at 0.1-0.3 percent sugar per liter (or 1 to 3 grams of sugar per liter of wine). But the sugar is still there and it is what it does in your body afterwards that also adds up. Alcohol really does a number on your blood sugars. Initially it raises them — especially if you're consuming mixed drinks. Moderate amounts of alcohol can cause blood sugar to rise, but once your body starts to process the alcohol, your blood sugar drops dramatically. Alcoholic drinks account for 11% of the UK population’s daily intake of added sugar. Despite this, many people forget to factor in what they drink when calculating daily sugar intake. All alcoholic beverages contain some sugar, fortified wines, sherries, liqueurs and cider are in particular causes of excessive consumption. It’s also important to consider what you’re mixing your drinks with, as the carbonated drinks popular with spirits are often very high in sugar. Myth number 2? - "I can stop drinking whenever I want ... I just don't want to" 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Firstly there are many kinds f rice and most don't fit your premise. If they all lead to diabetes then it would be really much higher than in theWest which it isn't. White rice, do your research or provide some facts. Any diabetic knows this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is a lot of debate about "different" sugars but in reality they are pretty much the same. More crazy talk. There are 4g of sugar in 17g if ketchup. That's roughly 25%.

KhunLA Posted December 30, 2021 Share Posted December 30, 2021 (edited) Corn flakes (Nestle) and raisins, 5 out of 7 mornings for brekkie w/large coffee (3 tsp sugar). Nothing wrong with sugar .... moderation. Most store bought pie here is c r a p, and too heavy for first meal. If wanting a pie, I'll just make beef stew. Much healthier if that's a concern.

This is not expensive Expensive is subjective, there are some things I don't buy here because i consider them expensive as im used to cheaper prices of it back home. Certainly a lot of the vegetables are cheap back home. I would not classify 148 bt for Broccoli expensive. Especially as like you said you don't eat a whole KG. However you certainly eat more then 100 gram per sitting. I am amazed that people economize on food but still buy beer. Its a strange world.

We won't even discuss cigs ... as amazing how much they cost, and people still indulge. Basically that was what i was referring at, a few a day can easily get higher as food budget. To be honest up till a while back i was almost not cooking ordering everything with grab (heart of BKK so much choice) and i would easily go for 800bt+ a day on food. I changed it 1 1/2 month ago as it was not good for my diet. Preparing food myself is much better to cut weight and stay in shape. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It does not break my basic rule that i don't want to put longer into preparing food then it takes me to eat it. Im not sure i like cold oats, though overnight oats is a different kind of beast.
