I think we need to add a small gimmick. My vote is for some disgusting drink made with duck liver, celery, cayenne pepper and lemonade.
good gravy woman! that's terrible. OK how about my newest thing, adding pineapple to my grilled veggies, it's AWESOME and pineapple is really good for you in moderate quantity (just don't go overboard and eat a whole one all at once.)
Yeah. We actually mix all the veggies up and add pineapple to it, then throw them in a grilling basket. Onions, peppers, squash, sugar snap peas, tomatoes, broccoli, eggplant, and now...PINEAPPLE. We toss them all with balsamic vinegar, a little olive oil, and some sesame oil (careful, it's super high in cals, a little goes a long way) and minced garlic, it's really good on the grill. The pineapple gives it a little bite of sweetness, and when you bite on one, it's like finding a skittle in your m'n'ms (in a good way).
This sounds delicious, I can't wait to try it. I was wondering, I just bought some coconut oil and have been dying to try it. Could I substitute it for the oil in your recipe?0 -

Sorry if this has already been asked and answered but I followed a link to this from another post and don't have time at the moment to read all 7 pages. I agree wholeheartedly with most of the diet but why can't things be ground up. No peanut or almond butter? No hummus or other bean dips? I'm not sure I'm on board with that. I love those foods and they are very healthy.0

By ground up, I was referring to processing, like taking wheat kernels and grinding them up to remove some of the nutrients (I.E. white flour). I wasn't talking about things like peanut butter.
Although I will say this about grinding things up, even good stuff, when you grind up a whole food, you are inherently making the nutrients more accessible to the body, which means faster digestion, which means (in the case of carbohydrates at least) more surface area for the body to act on faster, which means more carbs making it to the blood stream faster, which can mean more energy than your body can use at any one time, which means fat storage.
So even though I was talking more about grinding up things and removing parts, the whole idea of grinding up food is a bit of a slippery slope. Side note, this also goes for "juicing" as well. One of the reasons why fruits aren't as bad as something made with sugar and/or white flour is that the carbs are locked up in a fibrous lattice, which the body must break down before absorbing, which means a more even release of energy, you juice something, and you give your body fast access to that energy.0 -

I agree that when it comes to grains whole is better. Whole whole grains are better than whole grain flour, which is better than white flour which has the bran removed. But food gets ground up in my mouth before I swallow it anyway so outside of flour, which is ground much finer than I will take the fime to do with my teeth, I think ground foods are fine.0 -
Totally agree with the Human Diet. Simple.

Great post and what I'm striving to make my new way of life. Still struggling a bit with some of it but getting there. I do eat less carbs than you're suggesting but I am diabetic so I do need to watch that closer than most people. I don't worry about non-starch veggie carbs but I do have to be more careful with fruit, i.e. can eat it but only in very small amounts with some protein. While I do have a little bit of grain-based carbs, I do my best to make sure that it's whole-grain and, again, to eat it with a protein/fat in more limited amounts (like an open-faced sandwich, once in awhile, for example). Anyway, this is a great post as all your posts are, Banks. I've learned a lot from you here.
Mainly just posting so I can bump it.0
