Thought for the day

When the tree is shaken the ripe and bad apples fall off, so to, do some of the good unripe apples of the tree of life.
 
In bear markets it is quite common for the index to recover up to 50% of losses but after having fooled most investors, carries on down. Strongest stocks will recover the most and weaker stocks much less. When the downward path resumes the weaker stocks move down fastest.

Eating any chocolate or wine on a diet is not a treat, it's a defeat.

"Hi Johnny, are you coming over to my place tonight", Sally enquired. John replied, "Not tonight Sal, I'm having a quiet night in with a friend." Sally asked,"WHO'S THAT." "More than one friend really, two in fact, both by the name of Malt", said John.

Actually, having a treat once per week whilst dieting can be very beneficial. Remaining in a state of calorie deficit for any prolonged time will cause your body to HOLD fat, as your body does not know when it will get its next substantial meal (for energy), and will begin burning muscle for fuel instead. You will lose weight initially, but eventually plateau. One way to stop this is by going into a calorie surplus once per week (eating more calories than you burn). It also gives the person dieting something to look forward to, and the extra calories will provide extra energy over the following few days. It is not "cheating" (or "defeat") if it is planned into your diet, and you dont have more than you are supposed to.

The time to buy is when people are fearful and the time to sell is when they are greedy.
 
Do you think? When I go out to shop, do I buy for Australia or is it China.

Very interesting all that. But surely, if the diet is the correct number of calories for a person then their weight will gradually drop without any chocolate defeats.

Difficult to work out what calories are needed really. An athletic adult who runs 10Km several times a week, plays football or an equivalent sport, and walks most places without using transport, and does 3 additional 30 minute exercise routines, probably needs 2,500 calories per day, 2000 for a woman.
If you do no exercise at all, it is 1,500 calories, 1,250 for a woman.

My calorie intake is about 1500 calories per day, it was nearer 2,500 calories. Result, my BMI fell from 32 to the present 23.8.
