Other nations

Last night I was watching Youtube. There was one on the poor in Afghanastan. A mother with her children cook over an open fire in the shelter. The fire was fueled mostly by plastic. Imagine those fumes. Their diet consisted of dahl and a flat bread much like tortillas cooked over the fire. They'd dip their flat bread in the dahl. I'm sure their dahl and flat bread cost less than a dollar a day.

Another Youtube told about the reduced calorie diet and how this man was in very good health because he ate a diet based on the maximim nutricion from the minimum of calories. There was also another Youtube on the Okinawans who live much longer healthier lives. One of their rules is to leave the table 80% full. Never stuff yourself. They also eat whole grains and a lot of vegitables fresh from the garden.

This morning on tv there was a short segment about reducing our belly fat. It was basically the same eat small amounts of nutritionally dense foods 6 times a day rather than large meals.

I think I am going to eat only half of the pumpkin bread I eat now. That means half a slice instead of two half slices. I feel very full after eating the two slices. I'll keep you posted on how this goes and I will be posting some of the Youtubes on this blog.
