Exactly. A regular size burger in Asia is what a "kiddie" size in the US is. Korean restaurants are also about size portions. You can eat many yet slowly and feel full but not bloated. Unlike the the US where they give you a huge portions all in one in a Korean restaurant. They give you side dishes first...then they give…

So if you eat 3000 calories from sugar (aka bad calories) you will not be diabetic. Wow. Never said I was an expert. Always counting calories, not trying how the brain responses to food in the stomach. You think you're brain will allow you to eat 3000 calories white rice if you are 5 ft tall and slender and in normal BMI?…

Ramadan fallsl during when the nights are long. Muslim fast in the sense that they don't eat food when the sun is up. They eat before sunrise and after sunset.

There is no way an individual would take in 3000 "healthy" calories unless he is 8 foot tall. If you are full, your brains will hardly crave for food, therefore, you will not have the urge to eat. And 2000 "bad calories" are likely to result to diabetes and other complications. Again, will you rather take your calories…

Indeed, Eat Aliens for healthy lifestyle!

Okay. Go eat 75 teaspons of white sugar for 1200 calories....kay Asians get their carbs from Rice and noodles..Americans...sugar? No wonder industrialized countries in Asia like Japan and Korea have less than 5% obesity rate while America has 1/4 (does not count the overweight people). Does not help that an average…

Based on this nutritional values, it is better to get calories from white rice than white sugar http://caloriecount.about.com/calories-rice-white-medium-grain-cooked-i20051 http://caloriecount.about.com/calories-sugars-granulated-i19335 The daily recommended sugar intake is 20 grams…

Exactly. Which is why I am raising this. The source of calorie is also important, not just the amount of calories. If only the amount of calories is what matters, we might as well all be eating white sugar. 75 teaspon a day to meat the 1200 calories

To get you feel full, would you take white rice or white sugar? Would you chow on white sugar to get 1200 calories or on white rice to get 1200 calories? To get 1200 calories from sugar, you have to take 75 teaspoons To get 1200 calories from white rice you have to take 4.5 cups of cooked rice

Which "articles" are you talking about (I even have not posted any). I just said you can google definitions. Now, it depends on you which one you would want to believe. Now, would you care to post what definition of processed SATISFIES you? Seems that you do not want to be challenged and just prefer to try to "pwn" the OP…

Just a question, how many carbs are in these (yknow if it includes dressing, ranches, coatings)?

From what I can deduce from his lecture, it has to do with the kind of carb/calorie people consume. Basically boils down to food. To get your calories, will you want to get it from white rice or white sugar?

I know. But America is fat-phobic. Fish is rich in fat, but good fats. Fat from avocados are good. Just as not all fats are equal, not all carbs are equal either. Obesity is much more than calories in calories out

America is fat because of the poor food quality. Poor kinds of carb people eat and food that are loaded with different kinds of sugar. In America, everything has to be "sweet"(aka loaded with sugar). Chickens, Cows, Hogs fed with antibiotics, GMO crops (usually to be resistant to pesticides)... This is a very good lecture.…

^^There was this show I watched years ago where they compared a Restaurant Salad with dressing to having the same amount of calories as 10 scoops of ice cream! Made ice cream look more healthier than salad with ranch.

A lot of "low/zero fat" food being high in...sugar. No wonder they were tasty despite being zero or low fat. Which is why when buying packaged food, I tend to look at the Carbohydrates and Sugars more than the calories per se.

Never said that carbs and sugar were bad PER SE. However, most processed food have them in HIGH QUANTITIES. Sugars come in many names and I say hidden, I meant by it's the "sugar name" that most people would not suspect is sugar. A lot of things ending is -ose are kinds of sugar. Lactose for example. Sucrose, Glucose,…

Acne can be hormonal. Can be due to the cosmetics used. Or due to oily face. Could be an irritation on something you put on your face have you tried St Ives Blemish control facial wash with 2% Salicylic acid? It worked for me

So you've eaten only water in 24 hours? Wow, 0 calories in one day. You're prolly "a veggie" in 48 hours

\ There is a thing called Google. Why can't you do it. And I'm pretty much confident you know what the OP is implying when she said processed food.

THIS.

Now I see why you are "*****y" about my posts in other thread. You're even subtly picking on the OP about processed food.

Makes me wonder, do Koreans and Japanese "count" their calories and fat intake obsessively or do they just have better portioned diet? They also walk more than most North Americans, which eliminates the "need" to go to the gym weekly. Both countries have less than 5% obesity rates.

You "EAT" water? Meanwhile, enjoy your calories from HFCS, white refined sugar and say hello diabetes

Dr Jason Fung on "calories in, calories out" Very interesting perspective http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YpllomiDMX0 6 parts all in all

Not bad having weighing scale. It's good from time to time to heck it as long as she is not obsessed about her weight. It's a good tool to help measure BMI

Not my problem if you did not even get the sarcastic tone in that said post and in my reply.

Water is "whole" food? Who on earth EATS on water? And "fasting" on water negates the importance of calories. Substituting fiberous food is better. Has water, still has calories, keeps you full (hence, not slowing down metabolism)

\ Yes, Coke Zero! Zero Calories. Processed. Calories isolated.

Would you prefer to take your calorie from white can refine sugar white rice, quinoa, whole wheat?
