Not all calories are the same. Keep peddling that cliche you read in Womens Own but be aware it's bullshit, a calorie is a measurement of energy and 1 calorie of cola has the same energy as 1 calorie of nuts. Our bodies may process the food or drink that the energy is stored in differently and this...

Simplest method; eat twice a day, no snacks within an 8 hour window. What you eat will make this easy or almost impossible. Anything processed or sugary (comes in a packet or box) will make it very hard. Food made from scratch consisting of meat, Veges and fruit will make it easy. A good insight int...

Bagan and Lake Inle are well worth visiting. Make sure you visit bagan in the off season. Had a few days in Yangon, was okay but not a SE Asian city of note. There was a nice French restaurant by the lake and the Belmond Governors residence is definitely worth going to for a drink. Take up language ...

If she is okay with a new house she could try Opes Partners. The are financial advisers that do investment property. Also have an office in Wellington so she can get a feel for them first, assuming she is now in Wellington. They setup up everything; tax, rental agency etc.

Had people yelling at me over the phone today about how I was evil and just as bad as the scumbag because I sell firearms. What misguided wee souls, the feckin' eedjits. I get that they're as angry and frustrated as everyone else, but that's a particularly ill-thought-out method of venting. Hope yo...

The answer on guns is all the above no? Semi-autos should be banned, they're not even that safe to use. Greater checks on licence application. Better security to lower gun theft. Register of guns. Greater targeting of mentalists who aren't brown. Etc. No more than one gun per owner doesn't work tho...

Somewhat a relief that it appears just to be the one gunman. It’s saddening enough that one person could act this way but it would be far worse if he had like minded accomplices considering it doesn’t seem like he has been here that long. One of my mate’s neighbours was shot in the mosque (currently...

Anyway tldr? I'm interested in this fasting thing. Does it work? Yes, there is some science around it but the simplest point is if you reduce ‘when’ you are allowed to you you will probably eat less. Then it’s a matter of eating stuff that is nutrient dense over calorie dense. Fasting could be over...

If I can recall correctly non alcoholic fatty liver is a relatively new phenomenon. Think it’s viewed as a result of high carb intake, with fructose(often in soft drinks) a potential culprit. I’d look at cutting refined grains and soft drinks out. FMD or fast mimicking diet is also supposed to be ef...

I read/heard somewhere the science on hot yoga doesnt match the claims. I am trying to master a perfect handstand, which requires good shoulder flexibility.

I do the ‘hot’ yoga on and off. Could care less about the spiritual aspect of it but appreciate it as a good general way to move the body and have a serious sweat. It is hard!

If you want a travel camera, have a look at one of the top 3 mentioned here: https://www.techradar.com/au/news/best-travel-camera They have a 1 inch sensor which will give good shots, especially low light, without you having to go down the DSLR route. Most new phones will give better shots than a go...

Right, so when I finish The Remembrance of Earth's Past trilogy by Cixin Liu ( about halfway through the last book - and so far can thoroughly recommend the trilogy though will have to see how it ends) I think I'll move onto Peter F Hamilton.

The UFC doesn't aim to be a clown show. And if you don't know that, you don't know UFC. They've fought tooth and nail for every inch of respectability they can get since day #1. This sets them back big time. Yes a Conor Khabib rematch might bring in big dollars as a novelty one-off, mean time every...

There's Saturated fats and then there's saturated fats - you know that has a picture of a pepperoni pizza slice under the heading "Bad Fats" right? :lol: As folk are slowly coming to realise the actual bad stuff in your picture are the abundance of carbs.

This seems to be all the rage at the moment in the forums and with the young hip kids. Makes sense in that it would be more consistent with our evolutionary history. I'd get too irritable though. The irritation would be if you are ‘carb’ dependent and have blood sugar swings etc. If you are used to...

I’ve left the finance industry after 12 years and the very worst option you’ll can do is just leave it in the bank’s hands. It’s not hard to payoff a mortgage in 20years vs the standard 30years and the savings are substantial. Have a look at NZHL, there are probably the best in NZ for streamlining a...

I'm considering getting some sort of fitness tracker/watch thingy. No interest in the really expensive ones, but wondering if anyone has experience of these sorts of devices?

I'm not sure what it is about vegans that annoy you guys so much. My theory is that it forces people to explore their own cognitive dissonance which is uncomfortable.
