When to eat your cake - heard of intermittent fasting?

[Rabbie]

I find it funny "sticks and stones may break your bones but names will never hurt you". But you take direct offence to being lumped in with the English.

Your right I am ignorant about your background, but I do recall making a comment about the Scandinavian culture in which you did not hesitate snap back and put me in my place... BTW: I am half Norwegian.

You always seem insulted, are you being to sensitive?

Can't you read. I thought it made it clear i was not insulted because I realised you did not know my background. You really need to relate to the real world where we insult friends as I made clear in one of my posts today.

If you cant accept correction then just go away. You do seem to have a bit of a persecution complex.

It's really coincidental but it's 10.10pm here and I'm watching a tv programme called "Mock the Week" it's been on for 10 minutes and so far they have been taking the mick out of Americans. It's quite normal in the UK.

Do Americans not have satire programmes on their TV? Or is it illegal.

Thanks Dad, let me think about it....

Why do Americans overreact to Col, either just ignore him or join in the banter.
Way back when I was working on a trip to America an American said to me during a social discussion, "we seem to either live in the gym of Macdonald's" , why can't the Americans on here be a bit more laid back.
Libre : where did Col say he was fit and healthy? If I remember correctly he smokes and it wasn't so long ago that he had a heart problem, does that stop him making health and fitness comments?

Brian

Well said Brian! Col does have a heart/heart problem. I have offered to counsel with him but he hasn't taken me up on it. I really do feel for him.

Dick when reading your post I noticed a typo in mine, that should be "gym or MacDonald's, it kind of changes the meaning, I presume in the gym of MacDonald's one works out lifting beef burgers !

When I read it, I did not see it as a typo. in fact I still like the first interpretation as the correct one. <G>. Mikey D is not the worse of the woes here in US and I venture a guess everywhere else. It is no secret here on this forum that I bow at the alter of "Chinese Buffet's". I have a formula, however, that works for me. I take just a little bit of a few items I like. On my second trip I take a little bit of other items. By the time I finish the second trip my brain has started to catch up with my belly. I see people that come back to there table with so much food on there plate it is falling of the edges.

Not going to either. You can keep your spiteful, vindictive malicious God after what he has done to my wife Mary, a person always kind and wouldn't hurt a fly.

It is so sad to watch her deteriate slowly, yet these horrid mass murderers are in perfect health.

God? Stuff it up your jumper. Gods attitude is as vicious as suicide terrorists.

I understand Col, same thing is happening with my wife. It makes people wonder how a loving God could let such a thing happen doesn't it. Never the less I am here for you if you need me. We can do it PM.

Anyone who carries a gun, is willing to kill living things with it, carries it to church to worship a God who preached peace and goodwill (generally) has got to be a bit suss.

No way Jose.

I don't know what suss is, but wherever it is I am sure I am that, but not just a bit, but a lot. If you don't believe me just ask my wife.

Suss = suspect, questionable, weird, strange, hypocrite.

I am all of them except the last one.

 

[Brianwarnock]

Don't worry Dick Col threw the last one in as part of his obnoxious attack on you, suss is basically short for suspicious in Col's use of it. In other uses it can mean check, as in I'll suss it out.

I may not agree with you on issues, but that is no excuse to be rude, he could decline your offer firmly but politely.

Brian

 

[Frothingslosh]

Oh, please, when has Colon ever missed a chance to be rude, especially to an American?

No, no, no Col wasn't being rude. Col was being Col. Have a little compassion. There was a time in my life I was just like that. I know what torture it is living in a mind like that. In a week an a half I have to council with my own sister. Same problem.

I think there has only been about 3 or 4 posts that have pertained to the original subject of this thread, the rest have just been swipes at each other..

I have never tried fasting, guess I like my food too much

Surely it cannot do your body too good, feeding it for a few days and then not feeding it at all for a couple more, it must play havoc with your vitamin levels and Bowl Release Routine (Didn't think of a better way of saying that...lol)

 

[Frothingslosh]

Dick, when my father died, I was unintentionally rude to a lot of people. I may have had good reason and I may not have meant to be rude, but the fact remains that I WAS. That doesn't mean I deserved a bye for my behavior, and I made a point to go apologize to those people.

Colon MAY have good reason to be rude to every single person he meets, although I disagree. Even if he had the best reason in the world for being rude, however, that doesn't change the fact that he IS rude as hell.

As to having compassion - his complete refusal to deal with his personal issues does not mean we have to put up with his crap. He still has the choice of being pleasant or trying to piss people off, and he CHOOSES to piss people off.

Every.

Single.

Time.

I know I need to free my bowls every few days. They get testy when I keep them locked up with the plates.



As to the topic, all the whole "don't eat for 16 hours each day" really boils down to is "don't snack". We've known pretty much forever that constant snacking makes you gain wait, so it really isn't new knowledge; instead, it's just dressed up for the dieters who always need to use the newest fad. *shrug*

As was said earlier, the only real requirement for weight loss is that calories in be lower than calories out. Eating BETTER foods certainly goes a long way, and excercise helps in that it both increases calories out and gets you into better physical shape, but really all that needs to be done is 'eat less'.

Of course, that IS almost always easier said than done.

Snacking has always been my curse, it is my biggest cause of weight gain, I exercise regularly at least 3 nights a week for a few hours a time my weight is constantly fluxing between 15.5 stone and 17 stone..

It is all too easy to snack however, sitting at a desk all day, especially where I work for a major Grocery Retailer I am constantly surrounded by food, it is so hard not to snack..

Every Few Days!!!!

I go at least twice a day, I think I would explode otherwise..
