exhilaration…

…is being at the wheel, pedal to the metal, weaving in and out of traffic at 100+ kmph and listening to awesome remixes!! truly mind blowing!

Oh, as for the magical powers of haldi, its been found by a PhD research student at KU (yea, i know! KU producing actual research?!) that haldi (turmeric) fights obesity. Something to do with an component in it called curamin (or something) which prevents immature fat cells to becoming full blown mature fat cells. (Immature fat cells are easier to loose i hear). Lost the link to the news article, otherwise would have had complete details. Still, makes the case for having more ‘desi’ food doesn’t it, and for why McDonalds et al are so (deliciously) fattening.

    Haldi theory is curore years old mansy-poo so is garlic and lemon theory.

    Ever tried atkins? Now I know ppl have issues with it but omg it does work real provided you’re not a sucker for sugar.

  11. on 15 Feb 2007 at 5:01 pm PsycheD

    @ UD….i tried it during the summers….bad idea…by the first week, i had a mouthful of chahle (mouth ulcers) outch!

    i started it again when i came across this post :) well, checkmate swears by it…and scientifically, it shud work, for ajwein is ‘very hot’ for the body hence the increased metabolism. but i tell u, it doesnt taste pleasant! if i can avoid puking every morning, and if my body literalyl burns down the dheet fat cells by the inc metabolism, i’ll definitley holler!

    @ herb woman….did u try it? did it actually work? tell us!

  12. on 16 Feb 2007 at 12:22 am HerbWoman

    YEP i I did - last year this time
    I did atkins stage-1 for 12 days lost in inches i think about 1 inch from most parts which was real cool but then I quit cos I was afriad of being underweight and the wedding season was on lol
    if you;re intrested check out atkins.com its a fun challenge but it can actually make u miserable if you like meetha
