Thread: Thai labels on Farang food!!!

Just stay off the bread, rice, beer and whisky.

Meat, veges, and G & Ts are the way to go.

Not that I would know.

Should exercise as it does help to lose weight by burning more calories, instead of converting to fat.
Hence eat less, exercise more.

Actually, I've tried that & it's a good tip. Makes you think twice about if you really want something & stops the 'grazing without thinking'.

That goes for everything, especially saving money. Helps alot. Now I spend sod all. Thus as a result lose weight thru to spending nowt on snacks and junk food.

^ Agree with Fast Eddie. Swimming is great exercise and little strain on your knees. You can also just get a li-lo and paddle about with your arms.

You can't, they use that type of sticker that leaves half the paper on when you peel it off!

Or it rips off the top layer of the packaging (with the English text)

Or learn how to read backwards or stick the ripped off label up to a mirror.

I like Megahorn's suggestions, too. Try to eat more in the morning and only a bit later in the day. One monastery I stayed at had meals at 8am and 11am. That's it. The chicks there trying to learn how to meditate (not) and lose weight always had crisps in their rooms and gorged on them at night. (We always heard the bag rustles). Bad. It doesn't take long to change your eating habits once you start. Just a bit of discipline.
Good luck!

^ It the same ole' thing, and the message is plain simple. Eat less. That is it.

agreed

as for keeping a diary, that is good to help you check the food you have eaten

try to eat food that is difficult to spell as that takes a lot longer to write, then you have less time to eat

And the hardest thing, drink less beer! I've dropped a few pounds this week by just drinking one or two nights instead of seven.
