"Nutiriton Books or Diet Review"

joejee — Wed, 27 Mar 2013 13:28:10 +0800

Hi all, i don think we have a thread that gathers all the knowledge and experience and comments from all members here on popular diets. I guess most of us have studied many nutrition books and popular diet books. I know, you may say there are fad diets, stick to the basis, calories in-calories out is the key.
But some diet may work for you, and it is quite fun that you follow one diet, apply on your body and see the result of changing.

Let us discuss the main feature of diet books that i have read so far:

(i) Anabolic diet/ Metabolic diet: Weekdays - High fat/ Low carb about 60%F/40%P and 30 gram carbs
Weekend - Carb loading

(ii) Ultimate Diet: 4 days low carb with low calories (about half of maintenance calories), the carb load for one day (calories can reach about 4000kcal)
: incorporating Depletion workout, high intensity workout and power workout

(iii) Paleo Diet: Eating like cavemen

(iv) Burn the fat, feed the muscle: the most fundamental diet book i read so far, proper macro ratio and calories in - calories out basis.

(v) the 4 hour body: the funniest book i read so far, train you become a superman.
Drink ice water in the early morning, take ice water bath (deemed to raise metabolisme and burn more calories to maintain body temperature, that is why Micheal Phelps can eat so many calories per day). Sleep 4 hours per day....
More to Slow Carb Diet.

(vi) Abs Diet: Follow the 12 power foods.

My conclusion: All diet books try to promote themselve by giving different ideas. But come to basis, we cannot avoid the facts that "Less calories to lose weight, more calories to gain weight". So i would suggest "Burn the fat, feed the muscle" book is a good starting book because it sticks to the basis of fundamental diet concept. But once you master the fundamental concept, you can play around the calories intake (like zig-zag method) or macro ratio (like carb-cyling)

Maybe some of you have designed a modified diet that works best to you, would appreciate that you all can share your experience.

Just my Curiosity, i realised that one full scoop provided in the tub is equal to 2 oz, which is 58 gram and not 31 gram as stated on the tub. No wonder one tub can be finished so fast

Philip LED or Sharp LED (pls help)

joejee — Sun, 19 Dec 2010 22:47:42 +0800

Hi, i plan to buy either philip LED (5606 series) or sharp LED (L700 series) from HLK chain shop. Both offered at RM2,800.

This is what i prefer Philip:
1) better graphic (2.5D)
2) great motion (definetely can see difference...damn smooth)
3)3 years warranty compared to sharp which is 2 years

But i get a lot of bad feedback from lowyat forum on philip brand. Hence i need some real user experience on both brand, hope can give me some advice

I most prefer value of money which is durability, good customer services.

Thank you so lot...RM2,800 is not a small amount..so need to decide diligently...TQTQ

{WTA} Full HD LCD 50 hz or 100hz

joejee — Thu, 16 Dec 2010 16:23:54 +0800

Hi all, i am deciding to buy a 42 inch LCD for my PS3 game, need some advice from the pro

This is my survey result

32 inch 50hz = RM 1300 ( 32 inch does not have 100hz)

42 inch 100hz = RM2300
42 inch 50hz = RM1900

Difference RM400

So is it worth for the additional RM400? anyone experiencing any better value for the difference? RM400 is not too big or too small also...haha

Really frustated in deciding...somemore LED 100hz selling at RM2999.

Anyway, just saw the 200hz LCD display, damn nice!!!! the motion

where to buy PS3?

joejee — Thu, 03 Dec 2009 20:55:34 +0800

Hi,i am going to buy PS3 on this coming christmas. But where should i buy? Sony shop and normal retail gameshop?
Since it is original, i am thinking what is the difference between the two shops. Would it be safer to buy from Sony shop? But some retail gameshop can offer lower price which make me more suspicious of what kind of products (fake) they will offer me.

minor scratch accident..need advice

joejee — Thu, 05 Feb 2009 21:19:53 +0800

Today 11.30am i accidentally kissed one toyota avanza bumper with my kancil. I came out and checked the damage and only a small scratch spot on the bumper. I know it was my fault, so i offer RM50 -RM100 maximum to the guy. But the guy rejected and wanted insistently to send to toyota service centre for spraying and send me the bills.

My questions are : 1) How much does spraying a toyota avanza bumper cost?
2) Is it better to make police report to claim under insurance?
3) What if we both have not made report within 24 hours?

thank you
