  • Why do they call them Apartments, when they're all stuck together????
  • If they are using any dairy products, then it is not vegan. 'Milk' proteins are made up of all 9 amino acids, making it a complete protein. However, this is not exclusive to dairy. Soybeans also have a complete protein that is actually higher quality, and soy milk is delicious as well as very low in fat. Other alternatives…
  • I dunno. I don't think I can help you much here. I keep thinking I've lost 15 lbs, but every time I look behind, I find it again...
  • Well, there are a few things that should be considered. I think it a fair bet that no one enjoys being obese. It's not like they became that way on purpose. No one gets up one morning and says, " I want to be fat." There are lots of things that can cause someone to become obese. Depression can make you eat more. It can…
  • Really. You can make that decision for other people? I guess it's lucky we have you to make decisions for everyone. While we're at it, coffee and tea also have no nutritional value. Why don't we just ban it for everyone. Would you feel good about that? BTW, we are all taxpayers, even people on EBT, many who are actually…
  • I believe the record for a 'true' fast (no food of any kind, including juices, beverages other than water, IV drips, etc...) is held by Booby Sands in Ireland in 1952, at 66 days. He died of self-imposed starvation in prison. All other claims I reject, because they either had IV or nasal drips, or took in nourishment by…
  • I'm not really fat. I just have over-developed taste-buds. I'm actually in good shape....round is also a shape. I just hate it when I fall asleep on the beach, and Greenpeace keeps trying to tow me out to sea.....
  • Why do you have to be one or the other? I eat veggies a lot, not because of any particular philosophy, but just because I like them. I also make imitation hamburger meat, hot dogs, etc... I can eat more of veggie stuff for the same amount of calories as meat, and it sets better on my stomach, most of the time. But I also…
  • No. Have you ever stepped on a scale, and the readout said, "One at a time, please...."?
  • I'm not going to bother. I don't see any point to it. I'd rather just enjoy the holiday, and pay the piper next week.
  • A weight loss tool???? No. Your boost was probably because you were B12 depleted. Taking more vitamins does no good, because once you get the correct amount in your system, the rest just goes right on out. Few vitamins can be stored by the body, and most oxidize rather quickly. Fat soluble vitamins, such as A, D,E, and K…
  • Take a note pad with you (or use your smart phone), and log what you eat and drink. I do it the easy way. I avoid social gatherings whenever possible.
  • Don't fell bad. You are not alone. When I stop walking, parts of me keep going for a few more minutes..... :D
  • I usually use the Pentatonic Scale.....but Chromatic works well, also.
  • I can't weigh-in anymore. I broke the scale. Now I have to go to the truck scales on the highway..... :D
  • Kale is absolutely wonderful. Try pan frying some with grilled catfish, or Swai. Outstanding. Use kale just as you would any other leafy greens. Try a kale omelet sometime. You can make kale dip, just like spinach dip. Make up some meatloaf/meatball mix, make some small ovals with it, then wrap them in kales leaves. Bake…

  • I am on the Anything Diet. I can eat whatever I want, but if it tastes good, I have to spit it out....... :D
  • Why do you have to completely eliminate meat? Why not just cut back some, and see how you feel? I've written several vegetarian cookbooks, and I write for several food websites, mostly about alternatives to meat. If you need any recipes, just let me know. I make the worlds best vegetarian chili, faux crab salad, faux…
  • I feel your pain. With me it's not so much eating as it is cooking. I am a chef by trade (among other things), and when I get depressed, instead of drinking, I cook. If I cook, obviously I am going to eat. I haven't found a good cure for this, yet, other than try not to get depressed.
