Ketogenic Diet

Ketogenic diet is gaining popularity in recent years and shows promising results to a range of health problems, including obesity and type 2 diabetes. The general idea for this diet is consuming low carbs (rice, sugar, bread, noodles, etc), moderate protein (meat or beans) and high fat food (fatty cut meat or fruits rich in fat like avocado). Do note all the food mentioned are unprocessed food. Food must be in its raw form as much as possible and no added flavoring, preservatives or chemicals. This is one of the main turnoff for me. Such food is usually more expensive compared to processed food, which for me is not easily achieved as I am an idler, so expenses are kept to the minimum.  The main similarities of ketogenic diet and fasting is getting the body to switch from burning glucose to burning fats. 

 I did research on ketogenic diet by reading articles and videos in Youtube. 

 As this diet is not suitable for me, I did not dwell further so I would keep this post short. Those who are interested can read up Jimmy Moore book "Keto Clarity". It can serve as a useful guide and also from someone who actually tried and still using this diet in his daily life.

The project collects small usable items (details in posts from “ Giving and Taking Free Stuff “ Facebook Group) from public donors or dumpster-dived stuff from Freegans In Singapore (FIS) and donates to Filipino maids in Singapore. The main reason is shipping cost is cheapest to the Philippines. This project has caught up in the news and media in Singapore, so more donations have been pouring in so the maids (numbered to 300) are kept very busy.    Colin saw many usable small items when dumpster-diving around his neighborhood but has no use for them. When he found that Filipino maids wanted these items to bless their family, friends, and neighbors back in their village, he...

IdlierStories: Appreciate Everything You Have Got

Positive Brain Facebook Group A man once telephoned Norman Vincent Peale. He was despondent and told the reverend that he had nothing left to live for. Norman Vincent Peale invited the man over to his office. "Everything is gone, hopeless," the man told him. "I'm living in deepest darkness. In fact, I've lost heart for living altogether." Norman Vincent Peale smiled sympathetically. "Let's take a look at your situation," he said calmly. On a sheet of paper he drew a vertical line down the middle. He suggested that they list on the left side the things the man had lost, and on the right, the things he had left. "You won't need that column on the right side," said the man sadly. "I have nothing left, period." Norman Vincent Peale asked, "When did your wife leave you?" "What do you mean? She hasn't left me. My wife loves me!" "That's great!" said Norman Vincent Peale enthusiastically. ...
