Social 🍎 A Weighty Issue

[tyrael]

They put sugar in everything to make it addictive...and in Indian curry as well...and in Subway

I'm some countries, subway aren't allowed to call their sandwiches bread because it has too much sugar it in.

Just an update...seriously...

I have been on Jenny Craig for 3 years. I lost 12 kg which is great but it wasn't easy. More like a starvation diet which I am told is not good for the heart.

Anyway.. Jenny Craig went broke so I lost my reliable supply of carefully measured food..

Everything I looked for at the supermarket had too many calories per serving.
I just wanted to know how to go shopping.

So I asked my doctor for help who put me on to this (expensive) nutritionist.
She was really impressive. Jenny Craig were just glorified sales people working to a one size fits all script, yet everybody is different.

This nutritionist has started me peeling off the weight already. All I wanted to do was to stop putting it on.

Happy days so far.

Subway bread is not bread, Irish court rules | Ireland | The Guardian

Judge finds that sugar content of US chain’s sandwiches exceeds stipulated limit and they should thus be classified as confectionery

Kia kaha @Bruce

Thanks… I was going to opt for subway for dinner tonight instead of pizza….

I was only speaking as a weight watcher
If you are watching your weight or have heart issues they are a no no.
Otherwise avocados are full of nutrient and olive oil is a healthy cold oil, so is avocado oil.
They are unsaturated fats as opposed to saturated.
Avocados are ok as a replacement for butter though.

 

[kos]

Ok as a weight gain issue take your point

Bit like raw nuts

Raw nuts avocado olive oil are all super foods

I have raw nuts and oats for breakfast every day. I reckon the nuts say a handful make your weight stable as long as you don’t indulge eating crap drinking alcohol etc

What's the story with Indian food? I was under the impression it's pretty healthy. Got a few health issues but won't know any more until after the endoscopy on the 10th Oct so (aside from going off track today) am keen to know about anything foody.

There is nothing wrong with Indian food per se, they are pretty skinny people.
However their tolerance for chillies is like Thai people, and way in excess of us Europeans.
So they add a lot of sugar to balance the chillies, just for us guys.
So Indian takeaways in western countries are full of ghee and sugar. Fat and sugar are a real bad combination.
Thai food is the same, in western countries.
It is so full of sugar it is all I can taste after having eaten the real thing in Asia.

That’s news for me on the Thai food- thx
What about Chinese- same?

 

[Akkerz]

That explains why my stepmother's curry tasted different to the takeaway down the road

Chinese and Thai foods are full of mono sodium glutamate. Just read sodium, is is a toxic substance, the same as table salt, sodium chloride.

The problem I have with Chinese food is the amount of white rice, which is as bad as white bread. Especially fried rice.

Asian people can cope with it because it has been their staple dish for over 5000 years.

The reason they get rid of all the protein in the husk is cooking time. If you are burning wood you don't want to have to burn three times as much.

Brown rice is much healthier, but Asians hate it.

Bro, this is actual bs. Not sure whose koolaid you have been drinking.

So tell us what you know Richard? My guess based on your reply is nothing.

Nah I don't need to. You just spouted anti asian sentiments. Look up your history.

You are pissed. Go and sleep it off Richard.. wash your socks while you are at it.

I agree re white rice, it's not good for you. Brown rice is much better

Brown rice is more nutritious but doesn't mean white rice is unhealthy. It's like saying potato is unhealthy. It's got nutrients but if you deep fry it is unhealthy.

Half the world eats white rice as a staple every day food. Are those the countries that have a massive obesity rate?
