"What I didn't know about was the "Protein Leverage Hypothesis" - which is a scholary study which reported that when study participants lowered their protein in the diet from 15% to 10% they ate 12% more calories overall. Why? Because they were full and stopped eating. "
I don´t quite get that bit ... they were full and stopped eating when lowering their protein? iaw, less protein makes you less hungry?

Great article about moving to Australia! I considered it when I was younger, but unfortunately I suffer from arachnophobia ;-)

@ G-H it's all a matter of experience. In my real-life wor I had to do this kind of thing all the time. It did not take much to figure out probably 80% of the workings of the algorithm. I was the guinea-pig and the data generated from the progress of my article scores was simple to come by, as I wrote daily.
I thought 'If I'm interested to know how article score is calculated' then others might also be interested.
That's the way blog articles are born.
Thanks for your thanks.

@Jimmie I am glad you are gaining some benefit from my 'Things I Love About Wizzley' series. And thanks for your appreciation, it is appreciated.
I'll try and increase on the series, as I find new Wizzley features that are as good as the 'Export to Text' and 'Print facility' combined.

I grew up on a farm in India where we grew coconuts - so fond memories. Recently I have reacquainted myself with the packaged coconut water as a sport-drink during exercise. Love the taste and I think it does help recover from dehydration. Thanks for dedicating the page to it.

Lissie - I don't know why I keep trying to use liquid foundation when I always come back to the mineral powder. It does blend so well. I need to remember that about the fake tan...have had skin cancer and can't really tan so I fake and bake a lot too. I love your dancing videos.. you are so elegant and pretty. I wish I could dance like that!

Lissie - I too love empire waist shirts. They are the perfect thing to cover up all my little imperfections. Or big ones should I say. LOL.. I have also noticed that here in the US that Plus Size clothes are typically more than standard sizes too. I am just glad that designers have started giving Plus size clothes a little style. It seemed like for the longest time they were just big pieces of material. Crazy. Thanks so much for reading and commenting.

I use mineral powder foundation when we dance - it works well for men as well. As I wear quite a lot of fake tan - the mineral foundation is good to be able to blend my face colour in with the rest of my body!

I really like empire waist shirts - they are comfortable and flattering all at the same time! I just wish that designers didn't think that plus size ladies also had plus sized wallets - in my country you pay a lot more for larger sized fashions than for "normal" sizes

For a NZer Australia is about the only place "close" - 3.5 hours to Sydney! Everywhere else is long-haul - I hate the 14hours to LAX - tedious flight, and expensive unfortunately! In some ways up to about 10hours I don't care very much , you arrive, drink, eat, watch the movie, doze. Its the 24hrs+ to Europe that kills me!

I am a chicken when it comes to horror movies. I dream about the things for weeks afterward! I used to watch them all the time when younger. I guess getting old has done that to me..LOL. Your review was wonderful - just as everything you write is wonderful!

This was great information. I will never be moving to Australia but I want to visit so bad. I just have to get my chicken butt on a plane for a long ride. LOL.. This will be very helpful for anyone thinking of moving to Australia.

I came here thinking may be I can recommend the page to my wife! (Just kidding!) Funny, I am with Lissie on this one, despite the fact that I was raised by an Indian mom who tried to fit the "good wife" qualities. Old habits die hard - I can't cook to save my wife life, for example - but I do the best I can to play an equal role. A nice list. (Yours with 9 items. About the other list, oh well!) I do disagree with your item that says that the wife should be a "good manager." I think either the wife or the husband can either be a leader or a manager and most couple end up marrying their opposite in that regard.

AJ, It is all my pleasure. Niagara Falls is beautiful been there a few time myself. But still a distance from me. :-)

Brilliant idea! This reminds me to get one to organize my make-up and other beauty accessories.
