Exercising without a gym

[Chickenbackside]

I smoked since I was a teenager. 20-30 sticks a day. Quit 2 years ago when I decided to change my life.

 

I simply just stopped. Cold turkey.

 

I think for me, the losing weight part kept the focus off the nicotine craving, haha.

After 9 1/2 months of ths eating this paleo style. I still don't eat in portions described by brothers here. Like I cannot eat 1/2 roast chicken (normal size birds) in one sitting. Yes, since no rice or noodles, the indivdual meat portions maybe a bit more but not double or triple. So I would say my portions are still pretty 'traditional' and I still take 3 main meals a day, hardly snack in between. So no fasting for me too. When eat I just cannot stuff myself til like no tomorrow. Hmmmm...so I don't have cavemen genes....

Bro. I don't even touch yogurt, only time when I do so is when I do Tandoori.

Eyh, I join your club liow, "The Loose Skin Club" membership fee how much ah?

 

Talking about yoghurt, I have stopped it totally ever since coming back from LA. Why? When I was in LA, I bought full fat organic yoghurt from Whole Foods and ate it almost everyday. Real full fat yoghurt is nothing like what we get here in Singapore. 1 bowl is enough to fill you up to the brim. The taste is INCREDIBLE. The low fat, made from skim milk crap we have here? I can eat a whole 1kg tub and not be full. That already tells me something is not quite right. So I gave it up.

The stool samples won't mean a thing if they eat all sorts of crap outside.

some of the shows on BBC is crap, same with Granada TV. [laugh]

They make you believe what they want you to only. Re: My post on subliminal messages.

Let me try and dig up more on the Danish study...

 

But in the program, they actually collected the stools from the participants daily to analyze

 

However, you are right, it's not done in a controlled environment and there are a lot of other factors creeping in - exactly like how those "low fat, high carbs diet is good" studies are done...hahah

I wish I was like you... I feel like a freak when I eat. I bet I'd be leaner if I can eat normal portions like you. But my body literally screams for the quantity.

[Mazdaowner]

You good, even when I was training so damn hard, I'd sneak a smoke between my rest time.

I too, started in my teens, first stick was a camel filterless, and wham! I was flat on the floor, seeing stars.

My first drag of a cigarette has a funny story.

 

I was about 5 years old then. My father had a farm (Kampong Loyang) and we had many coconut trees. Dad would have coconut pluckers every few months come to our farm and pluck all the coconuts and sell them.

 

This coconut plucker uncle was up in a coconut tree doing his thing and he threw down a cigarette butt from up there. I picked it up, looked at it. I remember seeing his moist saliva on the filter. I took a drag and cough for the next 10 minutes.

 

The coconut uncle (malay dude) saw from up the tree and shouted "GOONDOO!".

Onz lah onz lah. I come back from overseas. [laugh]

I also lost a lot of my previous appetite, fill up very easily, can't whack as much as before also now,

think stomach shrink in a way. TG is 3 meals, I'm only doing 2 now. On certain days it's just one, if not,

after 36hrs, one meal also. Then again, who cares, I'm dropping muscle. So long as healthy, can liow.

Well, I guess the answer is right there. I'm building muscle. Opposite from you.

 

I should experiment with just stopping exercise for 1 week to see what happens to my appetite. I bet it would go down...

[Mazdaowner]

Yeah, really Goondu. [laugh] My time, toilets didn't have flush system,

the old "36 windows" truck (night soil) would come with their pails and remove the you know what.

We'd go into the toilet with a lighted smoke to well, make it easier to breath, you know what I mean.

I took my first drag, coughed like crazy, came out pale as hell, and my mother smacked the crap out of me for ...SMOKING! WTF!

I still remember.."ask you hold not smoke it hor, stupid!!" err...Curiosity killed the cat...after that.

 

Wah! got farm some more man, power.

Well done man. [thumbsup] Not everyone can do what you do. Well....what we do either. You have to be very determined to endure the pain and sweat, and it paid off, all the EXERCISE paid off for you and you're still going on. [thumbsup]

 

 

 

I would thbk it is a combinationnof both exercise and dieting that contributed to the " success " still striving to lower bf%

[Mazdaowner]

I still train as hard, but still no use. Think for you, stop will also see a drop in your makan.

Wah! got farm some more man, power.

Wah, talking about toilet, ours was something like the one in Slumdog Millioaire!

 

It was built by my grandfather. It started with a bridge made of 2 pieces of wood tied together (about 45 cm wide only!) and it led all the way out to the middle of a pond where there is a little wooden hut with a hole in the middle.

 

You do your business through the hole. Most of the time, you can see the fishes coming up to eat your poop. Then we go fishing and eat the fish! Haha... Talk about the cycle of life...

 

As for peeing? The rule was simple. Just pee anywhere FAR AWAY from the house so that we couldn't smell the pee!

 

Yeah, my grand father passed the farm to my dad. My dad then decided to specialize in black chickens. Life was hard.

 

On top of waking up at dawn to work (feed hundreds of thousands of chickens, clean their pens, maintain the water dispensing system, picking eggs...etc), we had to deal with viruses that would wipe out thousands of chickens at once, or power failures that would cause the chickens to huddle together and they would suffocate to death...etc.

 

But the government reclaimed the land in the 80's...

Yes, the two come in hand in hand.

Well....to all the bros who have taken onto this change,

I only have this song for all of you to listen to, and you will know exactly what I mean,

I took the road to what I'am today and nothing happens overnight to change my present body.

As with everyone else, pain, and suffering to get there.

Me too. I can't seem to stuff myself like CBS. So no chance of long fasting. The only fasting will be sleeping and time between each meals.

 

The food I'm eating are scaring my colleagues now. I think they expect me to keel over and die of heart attack soon.

[Mazdaowner]

Err....that little hut with the bridge, I fall off the bridge when my brother called me,

turned around, and next thing I know, I was in.......well....MUD BATH?

My Dad had a good friend who ran a farm right inside, past the old Woodbridge Hospital.

We'd get our fresh eggs and chickens from him, and I gather, that was where I got my strong stomach, as mentioned by Skunk from,

eggs still warm, crack one or two into a bowl of porridge and whack with a tablespoon of Bovril. Yeah, beef extracts...so...explain the size.
