That's a blast from the past! As a kid I also liked Oreo O's and Dunkaroos which were discontinued, but both were brought back in recent years. Ooh that ice cream bar sounds really good. Too bad it was discontinued.

I have PCOS and have been testing out various things to manage it. So far the only interventions I've tried that improved my symptoms were taking vitamin D3 every day and reducing white flour and processed sugar. I also tried inositol but it didn't have any effect on my PCOS. Would be interested to know what other people…

Well sadly my new medication (buspirone) was a spectacular failure. For two days I didn't have any serious side effects, just some slight dizziness. Then yesterday all hell broke loose. I got more dizzy and nauseous over the course of the day and ended up throwing up the whole evening. I didn't know what "projectile…

There's a Facebook group with almost 10K people entitled "Bring Back Original Carnation Breakfast Bars," so I think you're not alone in that! Wow I never even knew they had those.

That's a good idea, I was thinking of having ramen (just the plain noodles without flavor packet) and eggs for dinner tonight.

Day 5 (yesterday).... Breakfast: Sprouted grain toast with butter, soft-boiled eggs, Greek yogurt with dried figs and vanilla extract, decaf coffee with soy milk and vanilla collagen powder Lunch: Tomato basil Carb Balance wraps with deli chicken, Gouda cheese, mustard, spring mix, and tomatoes (made the classic mistake of…

When I tried that with my partner he would roll back over onto his back as soon as he went back to sleep, LOL. In my case he acknowledges he snores but won't go to a sleep specialist. He says that he's going to go to one but then never does it. I'm not sure why that is. Part of it is I once went to a sleep specialist for…

Everyone is different. I usually put seasonings on my vegetables such as nutritional yeast, onion flakes, pepper, paprika, etc. but I also like most vegetables plain.

I'm not sure if anyone actually read the original post which is about technologies that are supposed to extend the upper limit.... That is true but on the other hand testing it on very old people would give some idea as to whether it works, if they start living way longer than average or if aging can be reliably reversed…

I love celery. I'm not sure why people say you have to add stuff to it to make it taste good. Celery itself is already pretty flavorful to me. I like to chop it up with tomatoes and then add seasonings like nutritional yeast, Mrs. Dash, etc. Also yay microgreens! Have you ever tried to grow your own microgreens? My partner…

It depends. I definitely know a lot of people who have restricted mobility due to weight and they aren't that old. I remember once I was at an event and three people in their 40s/50s were sitting on a couch and they made some comment to me about how "when you get old, you'll need to sit down a lot too." But all three of…

Well, I think we have more ability to stop an asteroid than the dinosaurs did (they can send a small rocket up there to alter its gravitational pull just enough to move it away from Earth) but anyway.... These companies want to improve not only the lifespan but the healthspan -- the number of healthy years that people…

What I ate yesterday: Breakfast: Sprouted grain toast with almond butter, smoothie (soy milk, Greek yogurt, vanilla protein powder, 1/2 banana, frozen mixed berries, cocoa powder, greens powder) Lunch: Tomato basil Carb Balance wraps with deli chicken, gouda cheese, and mustard. Leftover bean salad from the day before.…

I also find the discussion around population to be very odd. There are too many people, yet countries are freaking out whenever their population even slightly decreases because the population needs to grow for the economy to be stable for some reason, yet they want everyone to live for 150+ years. So which one is it? Also…

My favorite cocktail and the one my friends always ask me to bring to parties, minus the alcohol...non-alcoholic mojito. The secret to making a really good mojito is to use a) flavored seltzer (I recommend Polar seltzer raspberry lime flavor), and b) most importantly, turbinado sugar, such as Sugar in the Raw. Or, one time…

I'm supposed to do the breathing exercises when I have a panic attack. But unfortunately, 90% of the time when I have a panic attack, I completely forget that I'm even supposed to do them because I'm freaking out so much. I didn't know that doing them every evening is beneficial though. Maybe that would help to make it…

Trying to eat healthier day 3: Breakfast: Plain Greek yogurt with banana nut granola and strawberries, decaf coffee with almond milk and vanilla collagen, Soozy's paleo chocolate muffin Lunch (in two parts because I was out and got hungry, then was still hungry after I got home): Chicken BLT salad bowl from the…

What I ate on Valentine's Day: Breakfast: Sprouted grain toast with butter. Scrambled eggs with tomato, bell pepper, and mushrooms. Strawberries. Two Good mixed berry flavor yogurt. Decaf coffee with almond milk and vanilla collagen. Lunch: Asian-inspired salad -- mixed greens, edamame, orange slices, chopped almonds,…

Yeah I see what you mean. This can be dependent on where you live though. I live in an area where alternative lifestyles are more accepted, but also pretty much everyone is expected to be a workaholic. However I also have always marched to the beat of my own drummer and been at odds with most people in terms of my opinions…

I guess, but my counterpoint to that is: a) We created this lifestyle in the first place. For example the average American house is 2600 square feet, that requires a lot of money to buy and for upkeep. The houses didn't need to be that big, but that is what people wanted. We don't need a lot of stuff we buy yet we choose…

While "cheating" is not the right word to use, there's certainly something to be said for certain psychiatric (or any) drugs just being a band-aid or causing more problems than they solve via side effects. I totally agree with this. Unfortunately I think Big Pharma has caused a lot of this attitude. For example the whole…

Trying to eat clean(er) this week after a very unhealthy weekend. This is what I ate today, not perfect but definitely on the right track, especially because I wasn't home for most of the day. Breakfast: Bob's Red Mill buckwheat hot cereal with black pepper, paprika, everything bagel seasoning, and nutritional yeast,…

Thanks for the recommendation, will definitely check out her channel!

Update: the Heady Topper on Friday was just as good as the ones I had in Vermont in July. So I guess it stays good for a while if you keep it cold. However I got overly drunk from it and slightly dissociated and I ended up napping for three hours which was not in the plan. Plus it's 320 calories a can which totally screwed…

Anyway getting away from vegetarian conspiracies or whatever, my question for carnivores is, is it really worth it to not enjoy such a fundamental aspect of the human experience? I mean, meat is so boring. You can't enjoy the cuisines of the world, you can't go out to a restaurant (except for a steakhouse I guess, but even…
-
Both the figures you posted are misleading. The first figure only shows beef and chicken. The second figure talks about meat consumption as a factor of calories. Types and cuts of meat vary a lot in calories and if people are eating less red meat and more poultry you would assume that total calories would go down even if…

I'm another person who is always prepared for disaster. I always carry QuikClot and a tampon (which can be used for bullet wounds), even when I go out with just a small purse. You never know when you might need it especially because I'm out late in NYC sometimes. My partner was walking through Manhattan at night a few…

Today's breakfast: avocado toast on everything bagel with black pepper, paprika, nutritional yeast, and red onion (the red onion is a great addition BTW, totally recommend). Two sunny side up eggs, smoky bacon flavored tempeh, blueberries, and Dunkin Donuts unsweetened iced tea.
-
Nope, you said "remove meat from the diet." If you can find any sources indicating US meat consumption has gone down in the past few decades post them here.

Sleep in the living room. Seriously. My partner and I live in a one-bedroom apartment and that was the only solution to the issue. Even with earplugs I could hear the snoring. We both sleep a lot better now because he is an extremely light sleeper and any time I made the slightest motion or noise he would wake up.
