Afternoon tea in London - a delightful experience

I work at this place and saw Anthea coming in. I was told to watch her. I don't know why the manager suspected her. It didn't take too long, I saw her putting silver cutlery in her bag. I reported her to the boss and the boss informed the security. When she left, at the door security men led her away. I don't know what happened to her after that.

Don't believe one word of it, it is April fool.

Disappointing ending

Why it was disappointing? is that because the gay didn't take advantage of the lady?

lost 2 kilos in 2 days? are you sure you are in a good state of health? you better see your doctor.

[Piling]

5 days.

I am fine : women have an ability to lost 1 or 2 kilos (and to gain them alas) in few days, only by losing water in their own body. That's our constitution : we have more fat cells than men, and in these cells, we keep water easily, for various reasons, carbs, drinks, salt, etc. , or sometimes during periods. And as we have more fat cells, we can lost 1 kilo per weeks with a normal diet.

There is another fact : the first days of a diet you lose fastly. After several weeks it stabilizes.

But my diet is not resrictive, it is the Zermati method. So I eat at least 1500 calories per day.

The Zermati method

1500 calories of chocolate per day

I could live with that

Be warned if you are losing weight because of losing water in your body. Shortage of water leads to accelerating of aging and more serious diseases on the long run. If you are becoming thirsty more than your usual that will be the sign.

If a man lose water, it hurts directly the muscles, that is bad. But do not worry, women are full of water in their FAT CELLS. That means that we are more inclined to stock it than eliminating it.

Example : that morning, I gained 200 g if I compare with yesterday. Because I ate more ? no, but I ate saled pork at dinner and during the night I drank a lot of water because I was thirsty. The result is that all that water is not gone with the morning pee but will stay quietly in my body-garde-manger

That's the reason why during starvation and extremely hard deprivations, women resist more than men to hunger and thirst. We have our own 'fat and liquid supplies' in ourselves That is called 'féminine rondeurs'

Beside, I am watching a fascinating documentary about Ayurveda medicine (and diet) by Pan Nalin.

There is one version on youtube, but with Greek subtitles. But many dialogs are in English (with nice Indian accent) btw :

Nature must have equipped females better than males for the purpose of survival because females become pregnant to keep the species. Nature must also consider females more important than males because a female can contribute to next generation in multiple times but a single male can make many females pregnant. So the role of females to keep the species is a lot more important than males. On that basis nature must have equipped females with a better survival means.

Our 32 teeth, except 4 of them, are all built to cut and grind plants, not to tear meat like the teeth of meat eaters. So we are naturally plant eaters, not meat eaters. But we have 4 meat eating teeth, which in percentage terms stands at (4x100)/32= 12.5%. This means hypothetically our diet shouldn't include more than 12.5% meat. But logically and according to available data meat doesn't benefit us at all, it damages our intestines and causes accelerated aging after the age of 40s because after this age our body stops producing an enzyme known like something as super enzyme which neutralise and detoxifies the body from anything doesn't fit the body positively.

When you become thirsty for whatever reason, your body is in a dangerous situation. When become thirsty, it means there is a shortage of water in your body. When this happens, water distribution prioritised in the body. Muscles and skin left to the last. As a side effect, enzyme production and immune system compromised. Skin and muscles left unguarded by immune system. Because of shortage of water also immune system and enzyme use are also prioritised. So many other parts of the body left unguarded. So in this situation one could become mildly or terminally ill.

One thing to add to your diet if you want to lose weight

A simple high-fiber diet can provide health benefits while being easier to stick with than a diet calling for multiple changes in eating habits, a new clinical trial concludes.

People who only added more fiber to their otherwise normal diet were able to lose weight, lower their blood pressure and reduce blood sugar levels -- all key to staving off diabetes and improving overall health.

They didn't lose quite as much weight as people following a more complex lifestyle diet recommended by the American Heart Association (AHA). But the study authors contend that their findings are encouraging for those daunted by complicated guidelines.

"For people who find it difficult to follow complex dietary recommendations, a simple-to-follow diet with just one message -- increase your fiber intake -- may be the way to go," said study author Dr. Yunsheng Ma, an associate professor in the division of preventive and behavioral medicine at the University of Massachusetts Medical School in Worcester.

The U.S. National Institutes of Health-funded study involved 240 adults who were at risk for developing type 2 diabetes. Researchers asked them to change their diets for one year.

Half were just asked to increase their fiber intake to at least 30 grams per day. They had to get their fiber from foods, not supplements, which meant eating more fruits, vegetables and whole grain foods. Otherwise, they could eat whatever they wanted.

"High-fiber foods are rich in vitamins and other essential nutrients, so they provide many benefits" over fiber supplements, Ma said.

The other half were asked to follow the AHA diet guidelines, which contain 13 components, researchers said. These include eating more fruits and vegetables, reducing sugar and salt consumption, choosing lean proteins, cutting back on alcohol consumption, and carefully balancing intake of protein, fats and carbohydrates.

The researchers theorized that the high-fiber diet would be easier to follow, easier to stick with and, thus, more effective.

As it turned out, 12 of the 121 high-fiber dieters dropped out during the course of the study, compared with 15 of the 119 AHA dieters.

The average weight loss after a year was about 6 pounds for the AHA dieters and 4.6 pounds for the high-fiber followers, but all participants experienced lower blood pressure and reduced blood sugar levels.

Eight participants developed type 2 diabetes during the trial: seven in the high-fiber diet group and one in the AHA diet group.

The results show that "one small step can have a big impact in your battle with the bathroom scale," said Joan Salge Blake, a clinical associate professor at Boston University's Sargent College of Health and Rehabilitation Sciences. "If you want to focus on one thing you can do in 2015 to help you lose weight, it might be increasing your fiber from whole grains, fruits and vegetables."

People who increased their fiber intake found that high-fiber foods tended to "crowd out" unhealthier options, Ma said.

"In the high-fiber group, we only asked them to increase fiber," he said. "However, we found that increasing dietary fiber was accomplished by a host of other healthy dietary changes, likely because high-fiber foods displaced unhealthy foods -- such as fatty and sugary foods -- in the diet."

Salge Blake, who serves as a spokeswoman for the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics, agreed.

"If you add more fruits and vegetables in your diet, they're full of fiber and water. They're going to fill you up before they fill you out," she said. "I'm getting the fiber in the fruits and the vegetables, and they're going to displace the cookies and cakes and candies."

There are drawbacks to a high-fiber diet. Some people may experience gas, digestive discomfort and changes in bowel habits, Ma said.

"When significant problems were identified, the patient was asked to stop the intervention immediately and the study dietitian notified the patient's health care provider for an evaluation during this study," he said. "Patients were asked to increase fiber intake slowly, as tolerated, to target levels. They were advised to increase fluids. However, we only noticed a few adverse events."

Although focusing only on fiber proved effective, Salge Blake said she remains a big supporter of the AHA dietary guidelines.

"Those guidelines cover multiple problems and conditions other than obesity," she said. "They are good guidelines."
