It was Garfield who got it right.....Diet is "Die" with a "T"

I bumped into this article while scouting for what's new with Obama, new chopper? New boxers? What's the second screw up? ( the first for his life was bothering to run for presidency knowing he'd inherit a load of dung from Washington. Hmm....maybe that is why "they" ALLOWED the first black guy to become president..after "they" made sure every single thing is totally messed up. By "they" it could mean the KKK or any white supremacist). It's everyone's but my favorite topic....how to loose weight (there is no studies on how to put on weight...I'm a victim of society's negligence). The article is titled, go ahead and click on the link to read the article,
"Low fat? Low carbs? Answering best diet questions? "

My favorite line is this "After two years of monitoring the participants, "all the diets were winners," said study co-author Dr. Frank Sacks, a professor of cardiovascular disease prevention at the Harvard School of Public Health. "All produced weight loss and improvements in lipids, reduction in insulin." Two years....to come up with a conclusion of "all diets were winners", something my grandmother who do not know what carbohydrate and cholestrol can tell in between her two tight slaps when she caught us with the third donut in our mouths.

If you are into dieting, and have the extra time to indulge in some articles regarding fad diets, here are some of the updated links.
(this post unravels by clicking below)

Comparison of Zone, Atkins, Ornish and LEARN diet in overweight premenopausal women; although my speculation of choosing premenopausal women is that no one is interested in how men look like, as long as their pockets are as equally fat, women on the other hand, are almost always (always is a strong word) in competition to outlook each other to go after the minority men, a fact that I find amusing and amusingly contradictary to what we preach, since we insist we are smarter than men. The most likely scientific reason, as much as I'd like to insist that my reasoning is it, is that premenopausal women have low metabolic rate as compared to the younger market. If you can get the women, at the beginning of their end, to loose weight, the rest is a piece of cake.

Then there's Zone, Ornish, or LEARN—which diet kept weight off? A study done in June2007 that compared the four major diet programs and the result, similar to that done on premenopausal women, is Atkin's Diet came out shining. Apparently, Atkin's diet lowers the LDL (low density lipoprotein) a.k.a "the bad cholestrol" , although it doesn't raise the HDL (high density lipoprotein) a.k.a. "the good cholestrol" (the world is always full of the evil trying to outsmart the good - maybe someone should make a movie based on this...Super HDL to the rescueeeeeeee). And just as the Atkin's team were about to pop out the champaign to celebrate, come November 2007, this came by Atkin diet may cause damage to blood vessels.
Ouch!! From Hero to Zero....until a new research emerges and walla! Back to a Hero.

My conclusion? Well, firstly, Garfield may be fat and lazy, but he was on top of his game when he said "Diet" is "Die" with a "T". Secondly, there is no short cut in life, although you would like to think there is. It's like that second (or was it third ) Newton Law that says, "Every action has a reaction". I think it's the third. You cannot stuff yourself with detrimental-for-health-food stuff , or eat anything in excess and expect a healthy outcome.

Having said all this about dieting, one has to exercise to ensure good health. I know, it's no wonder people prefer to run to the bomoh, because these flers always, I mean, almost always blame the "unknown" for every single disease known to men. That was how the term "etiology unknown" came about in modern medicine I reckon. Another word when they say the cause of a particular disease is "idiopathic", it simply means "the doctors are idiots, the patients, pathetic" (bear my dry medical jokes please)

I was on my way out of the clinic, after hours of course, clad in my exercising gear when my patient remarked, "You are like this and you go jogging?!!!", and I looked at her, smiled and replied, "it's because I exercise all my life that I get to look like this"....and I left, leaving her with this expression of deep ponder...It's either she's too slow to get it, or I'm to fast headed out of my clinic, before I get stuck with more questions!!

Throughout my experience, the only way to stay healthy is to set this simple fact in your minds: "Exercise and good food, are not bothered what you do for a living, rather, if you DO them(as in do the exercise and good food) for a good healthy living. " It's not what you do for a week or two to fit into that particular new and lovely evening gown that you've decided to buy anyway despite the store not having your size, but it is a lifestyle in need of incorporation (and copulation, since sexercise gets the job done too).

Just as you need to work, shop, to sleep, to "main pee pee" or MAINPP ( terminology borrowed from Walski ), or whatever not, you need to look for time to exercise while you take good care of what you put into you orally (and by orally, this also includes other meaty stuff that bears debilitating diseases, unless of course if you're a non HIV partner, putting your HIV infected partner into you, orally.---Oh! Just click here to unblurr the blurred!!). Once we get this simple bit of information sunk in the deepest corner of our gray matter, the rest of it follows through easily and naturally.

How should one eat? I tend to comply to the Glycemic Index/Load theory. Basically, it is the gist of Atkin's Diet,(of course they will not reveal this because, they can't make money otherwise) .

Don't get intimidated with all that "blah..blahs". The concept is actually quite simple. Carbohydrate increases the release of Insulin into the system in order to "carry" the end product of carbohydrate digestion, which is glucose, for the blood stream into the cells. Incidentally, insulin is also responsible for the absorption of fats into cell, ergo, less carbohydrate,(from what grouped as "good carbohydrates") means less insulin hence less fat absorption. Furthermore, less calories obtained from low carbohydrate. The moderate carbohydrate, for example Basmati and Brown rice, pasta, takes longer to digest and have less glycemic index, meaning the glucose is released in slow bouts instead of the sudden surge as in the bad carbohydrate. Furthermore, a sustain abuse from the consistent high demand of insulin is the root cause of diabetes type 2 (acquired diabetes - you know, the one that you didn't get from your mama but you seem to be the first in your family lineage to procreate the diabetic gene by the body abuse using carbos?...yeah..that one...). There are books on this, and one I found useful is GI feel Good, Health and weight loss, by John Ratcliffe. ( I know, instantly the kids would think this is Harry Porters diet program).



Another way of eating that I find more challenging to comply is the Food Combination theory, or better known as the Hay Diet. I suspect that it is by far the least favored diet, perhaps due to the name "Hay" that gives one the perception of "eating hay all day" (hey, that rhymes!!).

A simple take home message. Diet should mean concentrating on getting good health. If you concentrate in attaining good health, the side effect of this is normally an impending good figure...(unless you have medical problems of course - fat does not always mean lazy). Remember, diet is not NOT eating, THAT is "Die" with a "T". Diet is merely eating smart to attain health benefit.

Victim of phone scam.....and you thought it'll never happen to you.

Some monkey thought that he's going to get away with scamming me....ME!!....boy he doesn't know what he's gotten himself into. If you're wondering what on earth I'm talking about, well, let me tell you then. I am a victim of mobile phone scam. Yes..you can laugh on, until it happens to you.

They must have used the photocopy of my IC which I had to surrender when applying for my second prepaid line. In case you're wondering why a second line, well, it's for my patients who think they can bug me after my duty with calls to confirm their fungal infection and other non emergency situations. Hey, I'm dedicated but I'm dedicated only within the time I'm paid to be dedicated. A gals got to have time to unwind, for god's sakes!!

Anyway, why prepaid? So that I can use the excuse of "Oh gee....your problem needs more explanation and I've run out of credit". Well, I can't be the cheapskate, since I'm giving consultation for free over the phone right? The least these patients can do is pay for the damn phone.

Well, back to the story line, I received a phone bill from U Mobile. The first phone bill was thought to be a mistake since it had my name written on it, but the address was not exactly correct. Then the second bill came, and the amount went up. Hmm..I thought to myself. This can't be right.
To cut the story short, and everyone knows how long my story can get, it turned out that someone had used my IC and forged my signature to obtain a line. Since there is no signature on the IC, then one can just forge a signature and submit the "application" form. Obviously it doesn't take Stephan Hawking to figure out it's an inside job.

I managed to trace the company that submitted the form to U Mobile, and I find it very dodgy that the company is in Sungai Buluh, (where the only work I have done there is Plant Shopping and oh, I manage to contract dengue from Nursery who's keeper was a drunkard - I got good bargain but obviously he was never sober to take care of the pool of water ideal for Aedes breeding-, but that is another story. Hmm..lot's of weird thing happened in Sg Buluh. ) have got no contact number on the U Mobile system.

And the best part of it all, which brings me to the third answer to "why prepaid?", is that I'm black listed for postpaid line. How on earth did U Mobile managed to approve my application!!!! Obviously there's some joker on the inside as well....Did I just tell everyone I'm blacklisted in post paid line? Oh heck!! It's a matter of principals and it's a long story. But principals do not stand when the service provider have got no ethics in running the "establishment", but again, that is another story. Hey I'm an Aries, I'm suppose to be obstinate. The least they could do, ( I was hoping they drag me to court), was to black list me.....chicken!!!

Apparently my case is being investigated by the Fraud Department of U Mobile. Obviously I'm going to do more than just buy plants the next time I make a trip to Sg Buloh. I have the address of the company that submitted the application, and I'm sure as hell going to try to track down this amateur criminal, give him two tight slaps, assuming the culprit is still working there and they have a record of who submitted the application form (which I doubt very much, since they can't even submit their phone number to U Mobile).

There are lessons to be learned here.....
1. Careful with your IC photocopy , even so, shit happens...because the system sucks
2. There is a blessing in disguise to be blacklisted in phone companies. It's like you have protection against fraud resulting from the lack of security in phone company system. So the next step is to get blacklisted in banks so that you won't be tempted to apply for loans...he..he..okay..this one is lame..
3. There is no justice in this world, that is why there's God to make sure justice is served. Beware the people responsible for ISA...
4. Don't buy plants from drunkard nursery care takers....

Don't give A-Head.....give more of it.....

I have gay news for the gays. Philanderers cannot decide whether the discovery of HIV is good information for health, or perhaps ignorance is bliss. After all, with all the current break through, science is still not able to eradicate this killer disease. Hell, what am I talking about ! We haven't been able to cure a simple common cold, not up until recently, when researchers managed to find the actual cure for it , and that too it is in it's preliminary stage.

Society, on the other hand, is struggling for a break through in altering their mentality towards the stigma of HIV victims. As far as my observation takes me, the HIV victims suffer more or less the same fate as a rape victim in most Islamic countries, that they are victims of public scrutiny as a consequence of society's bigotry regarding this debilitating disease. That is but another story. I'm not here to talk about the ethical or religious aspect of HIV and AIDS, rather, I will be talking about damage control. That is what I do.

Today, Swedish researchers have discovered that men who gives lots of blow jobs to their HIV positive partners will develope antibodies specific to that of the partner's virus.
In AIDs Journal, click HERE to view topic. Unfortunately, one will have to subscibe to view the article. However, there is a summary available, done by Aidsmap. Go ahead and check it out yourself, by clicking HERE.

Basically the gist to this study is :

1. Men who are HIV negative, who give lots of blow jobs to their HIV positive partners, end up developing immunity against the disease during fellatio by producing what is called IgA1 antibodies in saliva that would help inhibit HIV infection during oral sex.

2. Apparently, the more virulent (higher amount of virus swimming along in the HIV positive partner's semen) the partner is, the higher level of that specific antibodies produced in the non infected partner protecting them against the debilitating disease.

3. If you want to have unprotected sex, become a sex worker and have lots of vaginal sex that help built some kind of antibodies against HIV, as the Kenya sex worker observation stated (kindly refer to the article linked in the above "HERE"). A note of caution : medical science, just like any other knowledge, evolves slightly slower than say, the turnover of cancer cells. So today giving blow jobs is prohibited, tomorrow, blow job should be given on prescription. So, I leave it to your discretion to decide, what is best for you. As far as I'm concern, the safest sex is no sex. (that is why sex after marriage is healthier, couples hardly have sex the moment they get married)

4. The antibodies are specific to the partner...so sorry, I know people like holes, but there is no loophole for philandering for this one....

There is however, that little thing to point out, a caveat in this study. The couples who participated in this research, an infected man with an uninfected partner, had to have been together for at least 6 months (which is beyond the most infectious state in most cases.). Any guys who did get HIV through oral sex in that risky early part of their relationship disqualifies from the study, because they would no longer be in a “belligerent” relationship.

Before some fatwa flers start sending me the Army of God,( pardon me, Army of Allah, as I may call Him Allah since I am a Muslim), I have to reiterate the fact that I'm not writing this to encourage homosexuality, rather, to state that it is in a way, beneficial for gays to have a fellatio fest, more for survival purposes, since I don't have the power to tell gays to convert back to being straight. My job is to keep people alive and healthy, and I leave God the judgment bit. That is His department. Like I said, I'm here for the damage control......

So don't go a-head, give more of it........

In response to a comment

I wrote a response note to a comment on my post made by a.k satsangi, click HERE to view his comment.Incidentally I found that the same comment that was left HERE , and, not to be mistaken for Prof. P. S. Satsangi, Chairman,Advisory Committee on Education, Dayalbagh Educational Institutions, Agra and Founder President of the SSI and a pioneer in System Engineering and spiritual leader and Chief Mentor of Radhasoami Faith. My response comment just became too long and I thought I may as well post it for the benefit of readers.

Firstly, I would like to thank A.K.Satsangi for sharing with us, his thoughts. I have though, some thoughts of my own, that may not agree with him, but I think it's healthy that we can agree to disagree, and in doing so broaden our minds.

In regards to his comment; “Gravitation Force is the cause of manifestation of the creation.”, I appreciate the detailed explanation of the properties of gravity and so forth, but it would be good if one can answer to as how did gravitation came about in the first place? Who created gravity? As a matter of fact, no one, not even the scientists have managed to answer this, (and a lot more questions too, if I may add).

Newton also admitted that he did not have any proper idea about the cause of gravity-

"Hitherto, we have explained the phenomena of the heavens and of our sea by the power of gravity, but have not yet assigned the cause of this power. This is certain, that it must proceed from a cause that penetrates of its force; that operates not according to the quantity of the surfaces of the particles upon which it acts ( as mechanical cause used to do) but according to the quantity of the solid matter which they contain, and propagates its virtue on all sides to immense distances, decreasing always in the duplicate portion of the distances……Hitherto, I have not been able to discover the cause of those properties of gravity from the phenomena, and I frame no hypothesis"
Principia Mathemetica Book 3, Section 4 Reading 6


Then there's Sir Arthur Stanley Eddington, in The Nature of the Physical World, who said,

“ The law that entropy always increases – the second law of thermodynamics – holds, I think, the supreme position among the laws of Nature. If someone points out to you that your pet theory of the universe is in disagreement with Maxwell's equation – then so much the worse for Maxwell's equations. It is found to be contradicted by observation – well, these experimentalists do bungle things sometimes. But if your theory is found to be against the second law of thermodynamics, I can give you no hope; there is nothing for it but to collapse in deepest humiliation".

So which one is more superior law of nature? Gravitational law or the second law of thermodynamics?

Again, in regards to your comment; “This is the only Truth which can be verified scientifically and can be termed as ‘higher theory for everything’.”

Scientists have at least agreed on one thing, that hitherto, the "Higher theory for everything" is not being able to be proven scientifically as the search for a unifying theory was interrupted by the discovery of the strong and weak nuclear forces, which could not be subsumed into either gravity or electromagnetism. A further hurdle was the acceptance that quantum mechanics had to be incorporated from the start, rather than emerging as a consequence of a deterministic unified theory, as Einstein had hoped.

Gravity and electromagnetism could always peacefully coexist as entries in a list of Newtonian forces, but for many years it seemed that gravity could not even be incorporated into the quantum framework, let alone unified with the other fundamental forces. For this reason, work on unification for much of the twentieth century, focused on understanding the three "quantum" forces: electromagnetism and the weak and strong forces.

Gödel’s theorem implies that pure mathematics is inexhaustible. No matter how many problems we solve, there will always be other problems that cannot be solved within the existing rules. Because of Gödel's theorem, physics is inexhaustible too. The laws of physics are a finite set of rules, and include the rules for doing mathematics, so that Gödel's theorem applies to them.

A number of scientists claim that Gödel's incompleteness theorem proves that any attempt to construct a TOE (Theory of Everything) is bound to fail. Gödel's theorem, informally stated, asserts that any sufficiently complex mathematical theory that has a finite description is either inconsistent or incomplete. In his 1966 book The Relevance of Physics, Stanley Jaki pointed out that, because any "theory of everything" will certainly be a consistent non-trivial mathematical theory, it must be incomplete. He claims that this dooms searches for a deterministic theory of everything.

Stephan Hawkings
was originally a believer in the Theory of Everything but, after considering Gödel's Theorem, concluded that one was not obtainable.

What I'm trying to point out is that, science is an ever changing subject, unlike mathematics. Today's theories, hypothesis, and perhaps even Laws, may be what they are one day, and become rubbish the next. But this should not stop us from seeking the truth. Because failure comes from sitting around not doing anything at all.

Hawkings may be right, or maybe wrong, but one thing he said stands true,

“We run around in circles and suppose, when the truth sits in the middle and knows”.

So what is the truth then? The truth lies in God's words....

Surah An Nur Ayat 35
24:35 "God is the Light of the heavens and the earth. The example of His light is like a concave mirror within a lamp, the lamp is within a glass, the glass is like a radiant planet, which is lit from a blessed olive tree that is neither of the east nor of the west, its oil nearly radiates light even if not touched by fire. Light upon light. God guides to His light those whom He pleases. God sets forth parables for mankind; God is aware of all things."

Footnote: This example highlights some of the main characteristics of the Quran. God is the source of enlightenment (light). The Quran radiates God's message (lamp). Though it is protected with a mathematical code, it has a transparent language (glass), reflecting a small portion of divine knowledge (radiant planet). Its message is universal; not limited to any language, race, or geography (neither of the east nor of the west). Those with open eyes may get its message even without showing much effort (gives off light even if not touched by fire). It has meaning inside meaning, message inside message (light upon light). Receiving its message is a blessing and its teacher is God Himself (God guides whomever/whoever wish(es) to His light). The word nur (light), in the normative case, occurs 33 times and is never used in plural from in the Quran, while its antonym is always used in its plural form, zulumat (darknesses), in 23 occurrences, and never in singular form. This implies singularity of the source of truth, which is God, and diversity of the sources of falsehood, which could be Satan, polytheist clergymen, ignorance, peer pressure, wrong choices, acquired weaknesses and addictions, etc. According to the Bible, God created the light first (Genesis 1:3). Light is also used as a metaphor for divine enlightenment or instruction (Psalms 119:105; Isaiah 8:20; Matthew 4:16; Matthew 5:16; John 5:35). God is described as "the Father of lights" (James 1:17). The Bible and its appendices use the light metaphor for many creatures too, such as John the Baptist (John 5:35), Jesus (Luke 2:32; John 1:7- 9), his disciples, (Matthew 5:14), and angels (2 Corinthians 11:14).

and in Baqarah;
[2:255]"Allah! There is no god but He, the Living, the Self-subsisting, Eternal. No slumber can seize Him nor sleep. His are all things in the heavens and on earth. Who is there can intercede in His presence except as He permitteth? He knoweth what (appeareth to His creatures as) Before or After or Behind them. Nor shall they compass aught of His knowledge except as He willeth. His Throne doth extend over the heavens and the earth, and He feeleth no fatigue in guarding and preserving them for He is the Most High, the Supreme (in glory). "

Who or what is God? That is like asking an ant how an elephant looks like.............

Last but not least, I can't help but wonder regarding his statement; “Gravitation Force is the Ultimate Creator, “, did he meant Ultimate Creator, as in God, or the tool God used to create? If it is the former, than I have problems understanding the presence of God in “Zero Gravity” or "when there is less gravitation" (since 'zero gravity' itself is non existent) . Does it mean less presence of God?

10 ways to loose weight or exercise without exercising.......

For those who feels exercise is an expletive, but nevertheless wants to loose weight,here are some quick tips.....


1. For women: Wear 3inches high heels and work those calf muscles while walking up to your office, to the cafeteria, back to the parking lot, and so forth.
For men : If you don't mind the public scrutiny, you can also try walking around a 3 inches heels. otherwise, I suggest parking your car some distance away from your office so that you are forced to walk to and fro your car. It would be helpful if you are the absent minded type, so you end up walking to and fro more frequently hence burning those calories and working those calf muscles.

2. Fidget. For Malay women, be brave and defy "orang tua tua kata perempuan yang suka goyang kaki, hanya perempuan sundal" (I'm not joking!!), and fidget whenever you can. We are all whores of the system anyway. Men should not have any problems fidgeting.

3. Have as many sex as you can because sex burn more calories than say, thinking about it. (well, depends on how long the couple takes to "get there". This calorie guesstimation is not applicable in cases of premature ejaculation). Whilst "exercise" is a swear words to many, adding the word "sex" to "exercise" to make it into another word "sexercise" (call it "re-branding"), seem to have the exact opposite effect of an expletive to most people. In fact men become more creative and make songs about sexercise, ergo, burn more calories via the thinking and creative process.

If you are having an affair at the office, your extracurricular activities in the form of "Quickies" would actually help you to burn a lot of calories. A note of caution: I can't say it is true for mental health though.

4. Drink lots of cold water. Not cold until you pee ice, cold. Just cold enough to not aggravate one's tonsils. You see, 2nd law of thermodinamic states that the hot will warm up the cold in order to gain equal temperature by conduction. So, if you drink chilled water, the body will try to warm it up, and it does that by burning calories....Having said that, it's just plain water a.k.a. paipsicola a.k.a ayak kosong.....cold sugared water don't count daaaaaahling....

5. Get involve with, for women, assholes ( a.k.a. a sad excuse for a man); for men, bitches ( and I'm not talking bestiality here). You'll loose more weight faster from a heart break or major headache from emotional roller coaster as compared to fad diets and exercise program. As for gays, since you guys are not into bitches, and getting involved with assholes may have the reverse effect and you may gain weight instead, I'll just say go get your hearts broken if you want to loose them calories.

6. Keep yourselves stressed out. (Hey, I didn't say anything about being healthy, I said loosing calories and working them muscles). Stress can induce gastritis as well as stress polyuria ( increase frequency and amount of urination due to stress). The water loss from frequent urination will contribute to the weight loss. Another way is to drink excessive coffee and tea, as they are natural diuretics and like stress, they cause frequent peeing

7. Wash your car frequently especially during rainy seasons. Do not send it to the car wash establishments. Remember Karate Kid? By the end of the year, not only you have gorgeous muscles to show off, but you'll also subconsciously learn to not be there when someone throws a punch at you.

8. Work in the government sector...no wait...sorry, that is if you want to gain weight, become self induce obesed due to sluggishness and laziness (of course there are exceptional diligent Departments). Let me start with #8 again.

8. Work with the government sector.... The government uses point system. You go to Point A, they will point you to Point B, a lot of pointing going on, ergo you will end up getting kicked around from one department to another, hence, you will loose all that weight from walking. You will also get a facial muscle exercise thrown in from all that cursing.

9. Dance whenever no one's looking. That's what I do anyway. I wonder if they have a hidden camera in that elevator...hmmm...

10. Get involve in politics. The bribery will consume you, like the consumption (or better known as TB or tuberculosis). Like TB, you will loose weight.....Okay...this one is lame. I've ran out of ideas. My life's struggle have been trying to gain weight, so forgive me for the lack of empathy for people to loose weight.

So there you go, shake off them calories subconsciously. Good Luck!!! .....
