…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.
so now all we have to do is tell the guy at mickey d’s to hold the cheese and add the mustard?
xill: nopes.. all you have to do, is *not* call the guy at mickey d’s and call up the local khan sahab
mustard does not contain haldi yaar
oh.
but they’re both yellow and maybe thats why the fat cells die.
xill: so thats why you get thin when you have jaundice! why does the eye still remain in the socket….. *hhhmmm*
Mansoor i’m ready to do your haldi ki rasam

sugalips: lolzz! we have a haldi kee RASM??????? man :S i really need to get updated on our own customs :S
LOL @ xill-e-ilahi’s ‘but they’re both yellow and maybe thats why the fat cells die’
chekmate once mentione the fat busting powers of ajwein - a tsp with warm water first thing in the morn.

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.
@ 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!
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
oh man! diets!!!! the worst part of loosing weight.
i’ve tried atkins too.. worked for about a month, then got tired of eating only meat :p so reverted
never tried ajwain though

waise.. its good if you have will power.. mine tends to run and hide as soon as i see food :p
meat?

you can have eggss
you can have so much so much so much wow:PP
i have no or ili willpower when it comes to food - i just binged on a banana choco-toffee pie while I was supposed to be watching my weight:P
haha hw! excatly the reason atkins fails so quick! by the way.. I used to have fruit, but got pissed off eating the same thing again n again…
