  • I plan on visiting as many farmers markets in Seattle and the Pacific Northwest as possible in the upcoming months.
    This is a walkthrough of West Seattle Farmers Market and West Seattle Junction. This market operates year round on Sunday. In typical Lao Ocean style, there's somewhat of a coffee mission involved in this video.
    Also, I've been doing doing intermittent fasting for 5 days and I share my experience with you a bit in this video. I'm so hungry right now LOL. The struggle is pho real.
    --------
    A little bit about me...
    My name is Dennis aka Lao Ocean (also aka Dr. Wtpho, but more about that later) and I'm a Lao American UA-camr based in Seattle, WA. Seattle has been my home since 1980. My videos and vlogs consist of walking tours in Seattle and abroad, travel, and things related to the Lao diaspora. I drink way too much coffee, eat pho 20PHO7, and also make food and food review videos. 🤓✌️

    I loved living in West Seattle 1979-1982 before they built the new West Seattle Bridge, I live in Upstate New York now but will always remember my Seattle days. Thanks for sharing your adventures. I managed the Taco Bell across from Franklin High School 1984-86.

      Thanks for sharing your experience. I moved to Seattle in 1980 and remember the old bridge. Time flies.

    My wife and I are big fan of yours. We love the content that you put out so keep up the good work. We are from Anchorage Alaska and frequent Seattle as we have relatives living there. We would definitely love meeting up with you and your wife some day when we are in Seattle. If ever you decide to travel to Alaska, we will be more than happy to show you around so that you can perhaps add Alaska content to your channel. Keep you the good work.

    Hi Lao, I’m also intermediate fasting and I find that black coffee curbs my appetite just long enough until my window opens! Cheers ☕️ ☕️

    • @LaoOcean
      @LaoOcean  2 роки тому

      Yeah I’m discovering the same thing. One black coffee for breakfast and one for lunch until I can eat dinner. 😂

    I’ve been doing IF for 3 years now, and the one thing I’ve learned through my journey is when you restrict your calories make sure you: eat foods that have simple ingredients (easy digesting), they are filling, actually enjoy the foods that you eat! Good luck and drinking coffee while you fast also helps! 👍

    Yay intermittent fasting! I've been doing it since summer 2021 and have lost 25/30 pounds so far. I keep hovering around there. It will take two or three weeks to get used to the window. Are you doing keto or anything else on top of the fasting?
    I love the videos too! Thanks for sharing your walks.

    • @LaoOcean

      I’m taking baby steps. Not doing anything with diet yet and will adjust my diet after a couple of weeks. I’m new to this! 😂

    Velvet Foam 👍 Starbucks 👎 and the guy didn't even ask for your passport another big plus, unless you edited that part out. Went to an apple and peanut butter for lunch,years ago. Breakfast at 5 and usually don't get home till 7pm, so dinner what time is left. Still hovering around 218lbs. Mr Dennis. They say a person 6'1" should be 202, but I have big shoulders and arms. Maybe that evens it out! Anyways, thank you for taking us to the market Mr Dennis. Have get you a body cam like I had in the sheriff's department, that way you'll have both hands free. Many a blessing sent your way sir.

    @Lao Ocean Well, if it was past 12 noon, you should be okay (I.F.-wise). Oh.. U-Dub Market seems bigger (about 1-2 blocks).

    I had a Thai wife and Thai girlfriends who would eat enough for 3 people sometimes then frighten me by not eating at all ! The Buddist monk only eats 1 time per day .

    Not cheating! As long as you are in your 8 hour window! 🤣 I believe it has to do with your body digesting. If we are always eating healthy or not, it’s not fasting ❤️💕 just my opinion

    Man… I like your commentary, but.. pleeease don’t try singing! LoL
    Also, the point of intermittent fasting is to cut down in the body releasing insulin in order to correct insulin resistance. Any time ya eat ya release insulin, so your “cheat” just effected that for your day.

    • @LaoOcean
      @LaoOcean  2 роки тому +1

      Thanks for the reminder about the singing! 😂😂😂
