Do you guys take vitamins? I can't figure out why you don't have
scurvy!

Vegetables actually taste great and are good for your body. Try
tossing a tomato or some spinach or some broccoli into the mix now and
then.

Just a thought...

a) I take vitamins.
b) I eat vegetables fairly often -- had a big salad for lunch today. I
don't eat a lot of fruit, as I have trouble digesting high-acidity
foods.
c) I am extremely healthy -- almost never have any sort of sickness,
and am able to keep up a pretty good exercise schedule. And I have
been eating this sort of stuff pretty much all my life.
d) I can't speak for alishadevoc, whose diet has little resemblance to
mine.
e) Just out of curiosity, are you judging my diet based on one day's
menu, or have you read more of them?
f) I don't think scury is common among 59-year-old American women
:-).

Sorry. Didn't mean to sound judgemental. I have read your posts
about your fitness and am very impressed. And clearly your diet is
working for you since you've been able to keep the weight from coming
back.

I just can't imagine going a day without eating any fruits or green
vegetables (potatoes and pickles don't count). They taste good to me.

To put my money where my big mouth led me, this is what I ate
yesterday:

7:30am: bowl of strawberries, whole wheat toast w/ Benecal
throughout morning: 2 cups coffee with 1T LF milk and splenda
12:30pm: turkey sandwich on rye with lettuce and tomato
6:30pm: low-cal (15) popsicle
7:30pm: chef's salad (lettuce, green pepper, grape tomatoes, chicken
breast, cheddar cheese, artichoke hearts) oil&vinegar dressing
9pm: rice cake

And I took my multi-vitamin and glucosamine-chondroitin pill for my
crappy knees.

Whatever works for you is good. This mostly sounds good to me, except
for going until 12:30 with virtually no protein -- and very few
calories unless you're eating quite a bit of toast. I need serious
food to start my day, not just a handful of carbs. But if it works
for you that's fine. (FYI, I did have a big salad for lunch
yesterday. And today I ate a few strawberries :-).)
