Microwave Ovens without Turntables are Wonderful!

On: By: Philip Wake
On Monday morning when I cooked my porridge the microwave blew up. I had to open the window and use a hair dryer to disperse the smoke. It was over 7 years old (Samsung ME733K from Argos 6 July 2015 £49.99) but I never thought its life would end like that! I drove to Asda Fareham to buy a new one and came across a George Home Flatbed one for £50 which means it had no turntable. I liked that idea because turntables are a pain in the ass. They limit the size of the rectangular containers you Read more [...]

Sugar is the alcohol of the child!

On: By: Philip Wake
"In the past, one of the biggest drivers of type 2 diabetes was in fact alcohol. Sugar has a very similar impact on the liver as does alcohol. In fact, that’s why we now call this disease non-alcoholic fatty liver disease. Look below at these two sets of liver cells under the microscope. On the left is the normal liver, nice and pink, and you can see the blood vessels nicely formed and flowing throughout. On the right is a patient with fatty liver disease, and you can see the white spaces (that’s Read more [...]

I just love cottage pie!

On: By: Philip Wake
I was about to go for my daily walk when a lovely old lady who lives near me asked me if I'd like a cottage pie. She explained that she was expecting another neighbour for dinner the previous day and he didn't come. I told her it was my favourite dish and would love to have it. She was very pleased that it wouldn't be wasted and so was I! I should have taken a picture of it before I ate half of it for lunch the following day but I was too impatient to get it into my tummy when I took it out of Read more [...]

Philip’s Fitness Progress

On: By: Philip Wake
21 June 2020: 9 weeks ago I noticed my weight had gone up to 14st10lb having dared to weigh myself at last and realised that my cheating on my Natural Low Density Eating had gone too far. Instead of having chips only twice a week, I was having them every day as a reward for walking the first 2 miles of my daily salsa walk. I had also started to include hard cheese because I discovered that all the lactose in the milk had been digested by bacteria, but of course it is nevertheless not a natural food, Read more [...]

PASTEURISED MILK IS DEAD!

On: By: Philip Wake
I just watched a TV program about drinking raw milk which I have always known is better for you than pasteurised milk because heating milk kills the enzymes & bacteria which help the human body digest it. A nutritionist stated categorically that pasteurisation does not affect the nutritional contents of milk. This is not strictly true because it does affect the digestion of the nutritional contents in a way which drastically reduces the body's ability to make good use of that nutritional Read more [...]

ARTHRITIS CULPRIT IS LECTIN NOT GLUTEN

On: By: Philip Wake

I recently went back to having my two poached eggs on toast daily at 4pm but this time with gluten free bread to avoid the arthritis in my knees effect. However, after a couple of weeks I noticed my knees were hurting again. I ran out of gluten free bread a few days ago and noticed today that my knees were hurting a lot less. It would therefore seem it's not gluten that I'm allergic to so I looked around for another culprit which turns out to be lectin! Some lectins leak from the gut and cause the Read more [...]

MULTI-VITAMINS ARE CHEAPER THAN GREEN VEG!

On: By: Philip Wake

For lunch today I had chicken thighs with chickpeas in a tasty Nandos-Jamaican sauce which I thickened more than usual with potato powder for a more solid satisfying meal. I forgot to take a picture before I started eating so you see it here partly eaten!

You may have noticed that none of my meals contain green vegetables. That's because I don't eat them and haven't done so for at 4 years now, not since I became single. The reason is in two parts. It's a lot cheaper to take a multi-vitamin Read more [...]

ACTIMEL IS A JOKE!

On: By: Philip Wake

"Enjoy Actimel as part of a healthy balanced diet and lifestyle to support the normal function of the immune system. It contains vitamins D and is rich in vitamin B6 which contribute to the normal function of the immune system. Vitamin B6 contributes to the reduction of tiredness and fatigue."

If you had one pot a day costing £8 a month you would only be getting 15% of your vitamin B6 & D needs. Also note the ingredients and see what a nasty processed food Actimel Fat Free Strawberry Yogurt Read more [...]

INDIGESTION MEANS EAT SOMETHING ELSE!

On: By: Philip Wake

I was about 10 years old when I saw my Uncle Will holding his tummy after eating a curry.

I said: "What's wrong Uncle?"

"I always get indigestion when I eat a curry - it really hurts and I have to take a tablet!" he replied.

"So don't eat curry Uncle."

"But I like curry," said my Uncle "

"But curry doesn't like you Uncle!"

A few years later my Uncle Will died of cancer because the curries he ate gave him stomach ulcers and because he carried on eating curries they became cancerous!

CHOLESTEROL IN FOOD IS IRRELEVANT!

On: By: Philip Wake

Any cholesterol in food is digested just like any other fat and then the body makes its own cholesterol, so why on earth are people recommending low cholesterol food or food which lowers cholesterol when the body decides for itself how much it needs to make! Lol
See this article by Zoe Harcombe about how wrong we have been about cholesterol for more information regarding the irrelevance of cholesterol in food!

What matters about food is how natural it is - see Natural Low Density Eating Read more [...]

VEGETARIAN OR VEGAN – IRRELEVANT – BE NATURIAN!

On: By: Philip Wake

The important thing is to eat unprocessed food without added sugar or fat. This means not eating cakes, biscuits, pies, sausages, pizza, sweets or any other processed food which looks good on the outside but you can't see what it's made of! That includes cheese and all spreads including butter which are processed foods very high in fat. It also includes alcoholic beverages which are highly processed liquid foods containing alcohol which the body cannot deal with properly. Naturally it means not Read more [...]

CHIPS & BAKED BEANS FOR LUNCH TODAY!

On: By: Philip Wake

The Natural Low Density Eating version of chips with baked beans is only 16% compared with 43% for the usual fried chips with baked bean in tomato sauce version which means it's nearly 3 times as satisfying calorie for calorie. In other words you would only be able to consume 37% of the high density version to keep to the same number of calories as the low density version! I didn't have any onions today so had 500g of potatoes and I used Piri Piri Seasoning for a taste of Nandos!

RICE, OSMOSIS & ARSENIC!

On: By: Philip Wake

Do you add salt to water before boiling your rice to increase the boiling point of the water and make the rice cook quicker?

WRONG!

This is because the salt reduces the osmotic pressure between the boiling water and the rice which means less water passes through to the rice. Simply stated when there is a semipermeable membrane between two solutions (the skin of the rice) water passes from the weaker solution to the stronger one in an attempt to make the strengths equal. Adding salt increases the Read more [...]

FORGOT MY CHIPS ON MONDAY!

On: By: Philip Wake

Thin Chips (McDonalds)
Surface Area = 0.5 x 0.5 x 2 + 0.5 x 11 x 4 = 0.5 + 22 = 22.5
Volume = 0.5 x 0.5 x 11 = 2.75
Ratio = 22.5 / 2.75 = 8.18
Thick Chips (Chip Shop)
Surface Area = 0.75 x 1.5 x 2 + 0.75 x 6 x 2 + 1.5 x 6 x 2 = 2.25 + 9 + 18 = 29.25
Volume = 0.75 x 1.5 x 6 = 6.75
Ratio = 29.25 / 6.75 = 4.3
Comparison
These figures indicate that the thin chips have 1.9 (8.18 / 4.3) times as much surface area for any given amount of chips which means that’s how much more fat sticks to the Read more [...]

No more heart attacks!

On: By: Philip Wake

Going vegetarian or vegan as suggested in the video below is one way of making yourself heart attack proof but there are other solutions such as Natural Low Density Eating which is just as good and includes eating fish & meat which even caveman used to do so it can't really be that bad for you can it. I only eat tuna & sardines most of the time because they're so cheap at Asda but I sometimes have meat when my daughter Katrinah is staying with me because she's from Botswana and Batswana Read more [...]

Bread is off the menu again – the arthritis in my knees came back!

On: By: Philip Wake

I thought it was safe to have a couple of slices of toast a day after giving up bread altogether for a year but after a few months the arthritis in my knees has come back again. This is bad news for a guy who lives for salsa dancing so I had no choice but to give up bread again and within a couple of days the arthritis in my knees has totally disappeared.  I don't know if it's the gluten or the raising agent in bread that does it to me.  If the latter I may be able to have the occasional pizza Read more [...]

The truth about fat in your diet!

On: By: Philip Wake

"Current UK government guidelines advise cutting down on all fats and replacing saturated fat with some unsaturated fat. In recent years, the popular media has turned the debate about the causes of major public health issues such as heart disease, diabetes and obesity into something of a "fat versus sugar" dogfight. But the question should not be about choosing between fat or sugar: there are good reasons for cutting down on both."
