No more junk eating. I'm going to practice getting enjoyment out of just two bites of something really really good. You know, I'm coming to that conclusion myself. I'd rather have something good on rare occasions than something bad. Case in point: bread. I don't even like the way the LC breads smell. Today I bought some decent bread to dump into the freezer. It's carby--maybe 15 or so g per slice, but at least it will taste decent when I eat it. I haven't really enjoyed a lot of the LC products I've had (some of the Mike's LC Gourmet meals and maybe Atkins crunchers being the exception). I think I will eventually try to reduce the carb content of some things (like pie), but I want food that tastes good. If it is LC fine, if it is moderately carby I might eat it in moderation someday, if it is really high carb, I probably won't eat it. :: :: That reminds me, does anyone have a good lc recipe for fruitcake :: (light, not dark)?

Much as I love a traditional fruitcake with candied fruit (sans citron), I made one from dried summer fruits once that really beat the band. I will have to do some experimenting, and see what I come up with. Almonds, instead of walnuts (to compliment the almond flour), and I will have to go through some fruits to see what I can use. The cherries can probably go in, fresh, or dried, not candied. Maybe dried blueberries... A brandy instead of rum for a light cake, dark, you'd still want rum. Hmm.... This might work.

You wouldn't be saying this if you read Gary Taube's bitch slapping of him. and taubes is a typical lying journalist Obese people should really close the fridge, push away from the table, and get on a treadmill.

This Fumento guy is a complete ass. While I agree that obese people
are at significant health risk and need to lose weight, not join fat support groups, the rest of his arguments are mainly nonsense. He lumps Atkin in as one of the baseless fad diets that don't work. He refuses to acknowledge that there are biological and hereditary factors at work that make it extemely difficult for some people to stay at a desirable weight. We all know some lucky people that can eat whatever they like, yet stay very slim. For others, it's just the opposite, and we've seen quite a few on here that have difficulty losing weight even when following induction strictly for many weeks. |
