    Solving a more complex problem

    Level 10 was really difficult it took me 30 mins and others i though were quite especially the earlier levels 7-9 though were challenging in a god way.

  • Peter Barlow made a comment

    Coding languages

    as i am experienced in coding i understood them all the first and second the most but the third was quite basic so i understood it. The second one however was the hardest of them all to understand.

    Introducing yourself

    Getting back onto the course as I didn't complete the last time I started it. Doubt many people will be doing this at the same time as me, but if there is anyone out there, please feel free to communicate!

    Energy for life

    It was quite natural for me, but wasn't a over night change. Did it in stages with cutting out Milk first, then gradually eggs and then making replacements with dairy free spreads, cutting out cheese and then honey completely from my diet. I became vegetarian for ethical reasons, as a practicing Buddhist, I felt it was important to my journey. So becoming...

    Calculating your own energy requirements

    I think with cautious eating, which I know we will learn on this course and just basic daily exercise, majority people could maintain or certainly lose weight healthily.

    Calculating your own energy requirements

    Im not interested too much in watching my calories, but interesting to read that with moderate physical activity, like I do now, my TEE is 3094 kcal/day. Without any exercise its 2366 kcal/day.

    Measure your own waist circumference: are you an ‘apple’ or a ‘pear’?

    My waist circumference is 88cm, with a BMI of 22.6, so thankfully at no increased risk.

  • Peter Barlow made a comment
    Calculate your own BMI - are you a healthy weight for your height?

    Happy to share, I have a BMI of 22.6. I was a vegetarian for 3 and half years, Vegan for 3 months now too. I certainly put my health and BMI down to my diet. Since becoming Vegan, I have lost half a stone, without even trying! Mostly because of cutting out saturated fats you find Diary and Meat.

  • Peter Barlow made a comment

    I think these rates are certainly to do with the consumption of meat products and diary. I know being Vegan my opinion is slightly bias ha, but there are certainly facts to back up that a low fat vegan diet, is the healthiest based diet humans can consume.

  • Peter Barlow replied to Sherry Lin
    Energy for life

    I agree with you here Sherry. I do believe the obesity rates are to do with the consumption of meat. I am Vegan and have been for the past few months now, previously Vegetarian. I have been at my healthiest and slimmest than I have ever been.

  • Peter Barlow made a comment
    Do you think that obesity is a ‘disease’?

    I certainly believe that Obesity can be a form of psychological disease, more so than it being a physiological disease. I am aware that also some chemical imbalances in the body can cause overeating, bad digestive problems and dietary issues. Overall though I think its an individualistic issue and every case is different.

    How diets have changed from the age of the cavemen to current day

    Just getting started on the course. Be interested to hear more on the facts on eating lean red meat and fish. I know for me its difficult being a Vegan, how a Paleo style diet is one we as humans, can comprehend.

    Introducing yourself

    Hi there, Im from Romford in Essex, UK and I run a music management company. The reason I decided to do this course, granted a bit later than when it started, was because I find the topic of religion fascinating. Also, peoples relationships with it and what individuals seek to gain from learning and growing with various faiths.
