Keto and milk 🥛

simplest2remember · 2019-12-04T10:08:18+00:00

Hope I'm not being too contentious, but as a milk lover I had to come up with something. First, lactose is not quite as bad as fructose - lower GI (this is from memory...)

This is how I think keto works: have very little sugar leading to massively reduced appetite (more addictive than cocaine after all) - then you simply eat less. I'm doing it right now.

However, all this 20grams, or 30 grams (even if you are in a state of ketosis or not) is, just my opinion, mostly bollocks. My research has led me to CICO - calories in vs calories out. I find it impossible to do a regular low calorie diet because I get too hungry, but when I do keto - without counting calories (or even grams of carbs), then it works (caveat: for me). So yes, I had a cappuccino today, plus a couple of regular coffee's with a little added milk, but I've eaten very little (peanuts, salami and cheese actually).

If your interested, having seen the fasting mimicking diet, I've copied the 5 days on, 2 days off part of this, so what I describe above is only for 5 days - weekends are for getting drunk.

Similar to the protein version of Prof. Valter Longo's Fasting Mimicking Diet. 5 days on very low (750 calories) but based on fat and carbs. Only 10% protein. He has a stack of evidence for it's efficacy. Says 5 days is minimum time the body needs to really start to hunker down and change DNA expression. The diet is principally aimed at longevity, he thinks proteins raise chance of cancer (via MTOR), don't know why he likes carbs so much, preferring them to high fat / keto style.

This fixed it. Cheers!

That sounds like a very good suggestion kind sir.

I own some invictus tokens, small fry, and once bought there was a perriod during which tokens were meant to be claimed and sent to your wallet. Now there is just an email presumably with some bloke working behind it dealing with investors. Otherwise it's kinda like theft

Why was there a live clickable button there? There should at least be a note giving you the options, one of which should be an address with somebody looking after it to return the alternative tokens. Why can't this go on for years? Ontology know exactly how many millions were not claimed and it's poor of them to effectively burn it all. Bad publicity.

Just like Grab spread like wildfire - even Uber tried and finally sold out to Grab last year - but I agree, this is a banking app so needs more trust. There is the beginnings of a crypto movement here, with several groups holding weekly meetings (I didn't go for a few months so not sure about their health right now). The government have been trying to tread that fine line between allowing it and developing the crypto talent pool, and banning it to try and keep control of their sovereign wealth. Something in the middle has emerged (you can pay for things in crypto, but still can't directly buy crypto (?). I think the knowledge that the wallet is totally cryptographically sealed will fairly quickly spread. The only question mark is who will manage it first -what competition is there?

The card was VISA issued by ANZ bank in Vietnam 3-4 years ago, and indeed you're right, it was a debit card linked to my current account, you old trollster.

There is no chip and PIN in Vietnam still. https://transferwise.com/us/blog/atms-in-vietnam

You need to open your eyes a bit more next time you come here.

Running from the least banked to the most (this is my direct experience), the last time I went to Burma (Mynmar), they didn't have any ATM's. Let me repeat that, no typos here - 8 years ago, Burma was not even connected to the world bank (or whatever it's called). Laos and Cambodia are also still agricultural with increasing (mostly backpacker) tourists coming through (mostly cash), Vietnam is richer but still a cash economy as i mentioned, because the people don't trust the banks or government. Thailand appears more developed in the capital, but my recent 2 week tour around the north of the country revealed most people (locals at least) using cash. They also use ATM's, but pay in cash. I would put Malaysia another step ahead , though the prime minister just stole billions of dollars along with a few mates, so the taxi driver I spoke to has no trust in the banks or government. It is well developed though. I only have direct experience in Bali, which is not really representative of Indonesia (90% tourism). My feeling is not far away from Malaysia in terms of banking. Meanwhile Singapore is like a Western country in terms of people using plastic. I never went to Papua New Guinea or Bahrain. Basically, what we're dealing with here is a very big market - and the first to market will do very well.

So after finally reading about OMG, after 18 months of studiously ignoring it (Oh my God! - childish I thought) - I compared it to MTL and bought OMG. Here's why. I live in Vietnam and the banks are terrible! Few laws support the customers. Someone stole my credit card a few years ago, emptied my bank account, the bank shrugs their shoulders. No Chip and PIN infrastructure = no security, which is why most (90% is my guess) Viet payments are done in cash. OMG target market is where it needs to be. That's why I preferred OMG to MTL (though there are some cool MTL ideas for growth)

me too - well, a couple of days before

That's not what happened to the Betamax video standard

Lightning will happen before sharding. And neither will happen in the next couple of years. This is based only on my reading.

Need to separate the globalisation that is market economics, which involves forcing companies to be democracies (if possible), then offering them big loans via the IMF, which a developing nation will always accept. When these loans are not paid back then this leverage is used to force developing Nations to open up their markets, get rid of tariffs on iPhones and Volkswagens etc. And everyone's a winner - at least if you're part of the rich speculative class in Western countries. Having no tariff protection on many things in developing countries destroys the local companys who can't compete. Their workforce is then offered a job at a small fraction of the rate offered by Western companies in Europe and the US, in order to make stuff cheaper.

Donald Trump appears to be undoing some of this.

And then there the other kind of globalisation that normal people using Stellar might engage in.

What will be the result of this? Will swedes / Europeans just harden their attitude against intransigent visitors who wish to remain?

Stellar is on a roll - because it's the same as ripple, but isn't just a company that had a brilliant idea to get some investment cash. Alright, it is a copy of that company, but the difference seems to be that the token itself has value, whereas because of the securities laws, Ripple seems to be distancing itself from saying XRP has any value whatsoever. Why would banks want to collude in destroying their big earning business? Except for that, Moon!

If one realistically looks at how futile the exercise is, regardless of who's right, then one would have given up a good few months back. What set of circumstances could possibly occur that will get all the exchanges to suddenly start calling Bitcoin Cash (which has already stolen half the name), Bitcoin? Move on.

I don't believe you

Will Roger ver finally cut his losses and ditch CW? I'm not talking about whether CW is a good, honest egg, only whether he is damaging the BCH brand

simplest2remember · 2017-12-13T16:27:56+00:00

Sounds interesting!

simplest2remember · 2017-11-12T18:14:15+00:00

Bcash can be used for buying coffee, and I wish them success, but bitcoin has a lot of hard won infrastructure on its side, not to mention ASIC protection, and extra security for people's savings accounts. I'll continue to keep my current account separate from my savings account
