It's not my blood sugar that rejects sweet potatoes. It's my tongue... :laugh:

Go work out. Now.

So... based on the OP, I tried this last night (with 1/2 cup of Jimmy Dean turkey sausage added). Before trying it I thought it sounded like it might be good. Now that I have tried it? It's outstanding. (I don't know if it's really pizza - but it *is* really good.)

Maybe if I could do that with regular stuff instead of sweet potatoes - and could substitute mozzarella for goat cheese - and get rid of the weeds (I mean... kale) - then I'd give that a try. :laugh: The one from the OP sounds good. This one... I hope you all enjoy it. :wink:

Yes, please. (Don't get me wrong... I agree with the sentiment that "No Dough Pizza" = "Not Pizza" - but might be a good way to appease some pizza craving for people without getting the carbs they don't want.) I'm gonna try it.

So... you want them to be able to freely choose whatever career they want to have - as long as they choose what you would choose? Got it.

This. I have found that if my diet is carbohydrate heavy I wind up hungry very quickly. However, if I get most of my calories from protein and fats, I don't struggle with hunger. (I still sometimes struggle with "munchies," if that makes sense - not really hungry, but something sounds good.) If I also drink a lot of water,…

Why would you bring it up like the plague? How often do you bring up the plague, anyway? :laugh: :wink: :bigsmile:

Why not have some fun with it - and motivate both of you in the process? Suggest a three month contest, where both of you follow your respective plans, and then some simple reward at the end for the "winner." (It could be something simple like a healthy lunch that the winner chooses and the loser buys.) The most likely…

Two reasons I have to comment on this. First - yes to the eggs. I'm going to sound like an advertisement (I have no connection to the egg industry), but eggs really are just about the perfect food. Second, looking at your profile pic I just have to say... Go 'Hawks! :happy:

If that works for you, that's fine. I don't believe it's true. I don't believe the cravings go away just by not having those foods. If they did, nobody would have started eating those foods in the first place, because they wouldn't have had any particular desire for them. We eat those foods because they taste good. We…

I think the key saying here is, "Do your best, and forget the rest." I understand (and sympathize with) the frustration at not being able to do as much as you'd hoped, and feeling like it's such a long road back. It only feels that way because it is a long road back - but it's a worthwhile one. If you are doing the DVD and…

We have a Vitamix, and we love it. It is both a very good blender, and very durable. Having said that, I commend your conscious decision to decide that's too much money right now. Have you considered looking at a used one, though? The Vitamixes are so durable and such high quality that it might be worthwhile to take a look…

And... those apps don't appear to be available for Android devices, so I'm sticking with Trendweight.

I agree with this comment. I'm not familiar with Happy Scale (and somebody else mentioned True Weight), but another option that accomplishes that is the website trendweight.com. I use it and am really happy with it. (And it's free - with no ads! :smile: ) If you happen to have one of the WiFi connected scales from Fitbit…

Well, that had to hurt going back to work on Monday... :laugh:

Well... my problem is that when I do body weight exercises, I *am* lifting heavy... /sigh. :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:

I had a Taco Bell Beefy 5 Layer Burrito. (Barely food, I know... but tasty!) Anyway... the calorie content of that burrito was roughly equivalent to the calorie burn of my entire Agility X workout tonight. /sigh.

Sorry, but it has to be said...

Now that I'm done with my wise guy comments, I guess it would only be right to actually attempt to answer your original question. I like to cook fish by placing a de-boned fish (anything from rainbow trout to salmon, really...) onto a sheet of heavy aluminum foil. I place slices of onions, slices of lemon, garlic, butter,…

I think it's funny that somebody would criticize tilapia as a "crappy fish," and then highlight catfish ("the liver of the river...") as a good fish. :laugh: (I actually like everything on your list - and tilapia as well.)

I like our friends from up north... but no Morton's? Barbarians! :laugh: :wink: (I mean... um... yes, it's seasoning salt. Personally, I prefer Old Bay.)

Enjoy your soup! :happy: I agree with Lynn. If there is any nutrition loss, it is almost certainly minimal compared to the overall nutritional value of the veggies to begin with. If you are putting "a ton of veggies" into your soup, you're going to get a ton of nutritional value in return. As Lynn said, the only…

I did "The Warrior" today. First time through it - and that's a good workout.

I started to jump in with a comment - but then realized that Strychnine's comment (only excerpted here) already covered anything I had to add. So I'll just say... I agree with Strychnine7.

Okay... I tried the Buffalo Ranch Chicken Stuffed Peppers last night. I would highly recommend it. :smile: http://www.primallyinspired.com/buffalo-ranch-stuffed-peppers/

My understanding is that that's an urban legend. (Then again, I'm also too lazy to look it up, so Akimajuktuq may well be correct. :tongue: ) She certainly is correct in the larger point - that "natural flavor" is a vague enough term as to be entirely useless for evaluating the content. (Arsenic, for example, is a…

I can certainly see that, and wouldn't suggest that my solution would work for everybody. :)

"Especially here in the Paleo forum"? I'm not sure there is anything that makes this forum particularly noble, nor am I sure that there is anything that *should* make this topic particularly Paleo. I'm sorry you were offended by what I'd intended to be simply a humorous response to what I thought was a way over the top…

Is a lot of what we eat bad for us? Absolutely! Is it because our fellow citizens are evil and want us to die? Of course not. Companies produce and sell the food they do because THAT'S WHAT PEOPLE WANT TO EAT.
