My Modified LC plan

I go on "vacation" occasionally myself. It's a choice. It isn't giving in to ancient primal desires, or the inability to interact in a social setting without eating what everyone else is eating -- it's a choice *I* make and *I* take responsibility for without trying to come up with a long list of excuses. After several years of making those excuses, I finally figured out that it's not the end of the world to just skip the meal altogether in those situations, and eat later when I get home. -- Aaron -- 285/241/200 -- http://aaron.baugher.biz/blog/ |

Clearly if you're at Thanksgiving Dinner, it's going to look a lot better to be polite and just sit down at the table and eat some of what's there and try to avoid the worst carbs. I would never go to someone's house where dinner is being served and then just refuse to eat. |

I would never go to someone's house where dinner is being served and then just refuse to ea I'm diabetic and it looks just fine when I eat only the meat and veggies. Some folks hate certain foods; should they choke them down to please someone else? How about allergic folks, should they get hives and anaphylaxis so it looks better? Absolutely! What's more polite then being rushed to the hospital mid-meal? *mutters* |

I sometimes do that, but if I'm really hungry and know I'll be out for too long, skipping the meal will harm more than it helps. In general, one meal of any kind will not derail whatever I've been doing for months or years. The trick is keeping it to one meal, though. I find that some foods can safely enter my habitual rotation, while others really have to be for special occasion treats or survival. Orlando |

No matter how much I slave away making a dish, I won't expect a vegetarian to eat meat for my sake, or a kosher Jew to eat pork and shrimp. Some folks hate certain foods; should they choke them down to please someone else? How about allergic folks, should they get hives and anaphylaxis so it looks better? Not at all. This question cuts to the heart of how certain diets are culturally perceived. For instance, when I was in Cuba and India, I could only justify LC eating by saying it was medically prescribed and that I was borderline diabetic. In this country, I think people get more used to me not eating certain foods if they've seen me do it for a long time. If I just show up one day refusing to eat things they saw me eat a week ago, I will likely have my new choices ridiculed or dismissed. Of course, I'll eat whatever I want regardless of people's assessments; I'm just trying to shed some light on how different regimens are perceived differently in different communities and cultures. To my Indian and Cuban friends, I had to have a medically sound directive not to eat the starch and sugar staples of their average diet. In America, vegetarianism, gluten intolerance, kashrut and halal preferences are all assumed to be tied to deeply held moral beliefs, whereas the mere choice to go LC for a while smacks of impermanence.

You can avoid GMO products by buying "organic". GMO plants contain antibiotic markers that can lead to bacterial resistance to them, and they contain Cabbage Mosaic Virus which can, at least theoretically, turn on part of the 98% of your DNA which is dormant. This could be genes for web feet or a long dormant viruse. They certainly create exotic proteins, that can lead to allergies. It turns out that this is fiction. The world's largest study just completed last month has proven that "organic" foods are no more nutritious or healthy than conventionally grown foods. Those pushing organic foods have apparently merely helped health-consious people part with their $$$. http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/32205139...and_nutrition/ http://tinyurl.com/mdph26 http://tinyurl.com/nt7hjm http://www.forbes.com/2009/08/20/org...-products.html --- Peter |
