Today is a slow, easy Sunday in Mysore. Everyone sleeping and walking leisurely to meet friends. The sun is shining but its not too hot, and I´m wondering whether my clothes will be ready tomorrow. I dropped my laundry off to get washed, but the guy didn´t speak any English he just put up three fingers and said ``three``. I was like 3 days? hours? Who knows? I think that it might be 3 whole days because they take the clothes to the river to wash them. Wow.
We are watching a documentary on the Discovery Channel about food. They did a number of different experiments to see how food affects people differently and to dispel any myths about food. For instance, they followed two friends, one thin, one fat. They found that even though they had the same lifestyle and didn´t exercise. They ate the same foods. Even though they always would say that the thin one had a fast metabolism, but according to the study, they actually had the same metabolism but their difference in weight was because overweight person had more food. Go figure. Then they did a study to see if drinking water before a meal helped you eat less. Still another study was on what type of meal kept you full for longer: protein, carb, or fat? Our bodies are so amazing and mysterious.
