you on ACV? how ah?

 

let me try see what happens. [thumbsup][laugh][laugh]

I am just doing it to see how my blood glucose is impacted. Started for maybe 4 months. Will only know the results when I do my blood test before March 2018. But I don't have any high blood glucose before that. Just testing that's all.

 

I used to drink it at night before bed but find that it causes me to pee in the middle of the night. So I drink it first thing in the morning now. So far, no impact yet to my mild gastritis.

Got it. Anyway, I eat my breakfast 10 min after that so it should be OK.

"3 times exercise per week is only good enough for you to maintain." I cannot agree more. 

 

the key word here is "maintain", how to maintain if there is nothing?  [laugh]

 

strange thing is most ppl like to dig out something small which they want to believe from a huge pile of facts they dont want to follow for some reasons.  [:p]  [laugh]  [laugh]

30/70 sounds like he didn't put much into exercise. But to get that body,  the amount of work put into is many times what most people's perception of 30/70. It's really downplaying the importance of exercise, if anything my believe is most modern lifestyle health issue is more contributed by sedentary lifestyle than wrong diet.

Taker a look at athletes or serious runners (42km, 21km,10km, 5km) who carb load , i.e eat insanely amount of carbs and bananas (Yes, Fructose). They are all lean and  their fitness vo2max is top form. The calories they consumed is more than they expense. So much for calories in and calories out theory.

 

I read the written interview in ST this morning, he goes to the gym for weight training 5 days a week, (min 3 days a week), each session 1-1.5hrs, does speed walking on treadmill and swim, if that is 30% , you can imagine how he eats and what he eats  for that 70% effort. 

 

Chicken, eggs and fish? No coffee no tea no alcohol no ciggi? and he said he does diet? Again and again most ppl think that everyone will tell you the truth to help you get to where he is today without much effort. Strange isnt it?  [laugh]

 

To get that body, he must have gone through alot on diet and weight training, but what he is telling you is now what he is doing, which is maintaining, not what he did to get to where that body is today. 

 

There is a big different.  [laugh]  [laugh]  [laugh]

Just my opinion, we don't eat 20 serving of fruits a day like those hard core fruitarians. The one or 2 serving we have, I think it's worth the fructose for the micro nutrients we are getting from fruits.  Just avoid juicing it as you actually consume more fructose from juice without the fibre content. More fructose, is because people usually juiced 3 oranges  for a glass. That's is pure fructose from 3 oranges. For whole fruit we usually just take one orange is enough, and fructose is not as pure, it is mixed with fiber. 

 

 

Repost the Fructose is as bad as Alcohol youtube.

 

 

Ok,  I think fruits are alright as long as we eat the whole thing, and now 1 basket at a go. [:p]

 

most fruits are 50-50 (fructose-glucose), glucose get burn away fast, fructose in the liver if not that much will get depleted too as we move into ketosis, it just kick us out of ketosis for that while, but we get back once the body is adjusted. The benefit of fruits most likely can offset that time lost in fat burning in the long run. So give and take, fruits remain in my diet.

 

However juices will have to take a queue number, esp sugarcane juice, this is a real bad one, after corn syrup of course.  [laugh]  [laugh]  [laugh]

I still think normal people won't over eat on fruits for the fructose to be a problem. SO for the micro nutrients that the fruits provide, it outweigh the con of the fructose.

That gives me permission to binge on MSW for another few more rounds... I eat them whole, not in cake or pastry form. [laugh]  [laugh]

Remember we were talking about chickens raised without antibiotics? Frozen or fresh. Price difference and what not.

PBS video on the economics of raising chickens without subtherapeutic antibiotics.

Looks like it is going to get confusing again.  [laugh]

 

I am for no antibiotics, although is for prevention, but why take medication when you are not sick? 

 

End of the day, I still hold on to the believe of an overfeeding issue, cut some meals and the same space will keep lesser produce and more space to move ard, (more play time, and happy chickens in a happy home dont fall sick easily. LOL) easier to manage hygiene and we get free range food. The main issue will be revenue, profits and bottom lines, not difficult to understand why every farm wants ppl to eat more.  [:p]  [laugh]  [laugh]

wah lau, heng ah!!!

 

I seriously though I can drink it anytime, was thinking of drinking it in the morning empty stomach, then change plan thought of drinking it at the end of my feeding window,  now have to drink it with my meal when I break fast.  [laugh]  [laugh]  [laugh]

SINGAPORE - Local model-turned-photographer Chuando Tan set social media on fire over the weekend, thanks to an article in Chinese news website Yidian Zixun on Saturday (July 22).

The reason for all the brouhaha?

Tan - better known as CD to his friends and within fashion circles - is 50, but boasts looks - as well as the enviable buffed physique - of a 20-year-old.

One of Singapore's most sought-after models in his heyday in the late 1980s and early 1990s, Tan had a short-lived career as a Mandarin pop singer before reinventing himself as a celebrity photographer in 1996.

But he has since gone on to shoot Asian stars such as actresses Shu Qi and Rosamund Kwan, with his work featured on the covers and fashion spreads of international magazines such as Jalouse, Muse, L'Officiel, Elle and Harper's Bazaar.

His photography firm ChuanDo & Frey - which he started with good friend Frey Ow in 2006 - was picked by US singer Janet Jackson to shoot the album cover of her 2008 album Discipline.

The 1.85m-tall Tan, who admitted that he was extremely health-conscious when he was modelling, shared several tips to keep fit and stay youthful in a 1993 ST article.

He would shun late nights, avoid baths late at night or early in the morning and eat chicken breast meat - cooked Hainanese chicken-rice style - every day. He also worked out four times a week and swam regularly.

Even at the age of 39, he was still praised in an article for "having a tawny complexion that Narcissus would gladly drown for and the masculine frame of a Marvel comics superhero".

Just had a gathering of old classmates and one of them is using ACV to curb his appetite and also to help his sinus. He finds it effective.

 

I have mild gastric so I am not looking at any supplements that will curb my appetite, but I am interested in the benefits of ACV like lowering of cholesterol.

 

Any advice for ACV newbie like me ?

 

Thanks.
