  • I got this in a restaurant but it seems like basically:

    • lots of chili
    • lots of Sichuan pepper
    • deep fried chicken with a coating
    • peanuts
    • way too much oil
    • some sesame
    • few green onions

    If I were to replicate that at home, I’d probably fry the green onions, chicken, Sichuan pepper in a pan first with a lot less oil and without coating. Then add the chopped chilli, fry a bit more, add some sesame.

    The chili looks much scarier than it is. I’m somewhat spiciness resistant but not that much, and I ate quite a few of them. They probably take a mild variant.

    Peanuts are optional imho.

    Chinese friends, feel free to tear this apart.

    What kind of madman is gonna argue against walking? 😅 Get some sleep bro

    But honestly: you looking for a hobby? Go cycling all you want. You looking to get somewhere? The place will not change position at random. You know where you want to go. In my reality bike or foot rarely matter if I’m going to the supermarket or wherever. Just leave 10 minutes earlier and you’re good. In this kind of situation, your choice is between losing a few more kcals by walking or saving a few minutes by taking the bike. Both are good options, neither is going to make you fat or thin. If that’s your goal, eat less calorie dense food.



  • I enjoy walking and don’t mind walking even for 40 minutes in the morning. Not every day, but if it fits in the schedule it gives me more movement in practice than a bike (also due to some local circumstances).

    The point was more generally that walking is a great alternative. Everyone hypes bicycles, walking has no lobby and is one of the healthiest things to add to your day.

    Also, if the goal is to lose weight, cardio is fine but only supportive at best. It’s way more effective to eat less calorie dense food than trying to run/bike it off. The difference between an hour walking and biking is negligible for most people compared to dietary changes.
