I noticed that it is not always that satisfying and I get a lot of fruit and vegetables thru the day anyway. Like today I have already had about three cups of a tossed salad with a variety of veggies in it, plus I ate one cut up red pepper and had some cherries after lunch. I am just thinking of maybe switching it up a…

I am just thinking about maybe choosing somethinglower in carbs, even a small piece of cheese or boiled egg.

I know...bread is my weakness! Especially white bread, I have been known to grab a slice of white bread and just eat it like that with nothing on it. I have done that with hamburger/hot dog buns too.

The hamburger and hot dog buns they have look good!

I guess all I can do is like you, just try and trust/hope that who I am buying from is treating the animals decently. As well I can go meatless for meals as often as I can, there are many dinner/lunch choices that are meatless as it is.

Even going to farmers markets and asking them how their animals are raised...of course they are going to tell you what you want to hear!

Yeah that is a good point. I guess I assume that local farmers treat their product better but again like you said who knows...I know my uncle is a farmer and he treats his cows very well but I know him and how he is....but he is in a different province and he does not butcher them himself. You are probably right, the big…

In the case I mentioned I know this will not be the first nor the last but at least it is out there and maybe it will help improve things going forward. I am glad that someone had the guts to film it and then provide that film to the public.

I know, it confusing. I am thinking that maybe I will just do my best buy from certain suppliers and trust andhope that all is good, not sure what else to do. I would probably be okay with not eating meat but doubt that H would.

I agree with you for sure, you brought up some good points. I know one grocery store vendor that supplies "certified Humane" when I directly checked with the vendor they said yes SOME of their products are certified humane...does not make sense..why just some???

We had a big story here locally about a chicken factory and undercover footage showed horrible abuse to the chickens. The workers were fired and the SPCA is still investigating and hopefully charges will be forth coming. That is what I want to avoid is purchasing from companies that do that.

I just started to get into buying skin/makeup products from companies that do not do animal testing. Now I want to be responsible in the food I eat. I already buy free range eggs but want to do that for meat/poultry.

Local grocery stores are now selling meat and poultry with the "certified humane" on it. That is a good option too.

There is a local farm that is SPCA certified, and I like their product but am thinking that it will not always be practical for me to go and get some of it. I bought some of their stirfry chicken and it was awesome...no fat,no waste.

Yeah I will check it out. For me, the main thing is was the animal treated well. I know we are never going to get a way from eating meat as a society so at least I can purchase meat and support local family farms.

I hear you, I have bought hamburger buns for supper and have eaten two of them with nothing on them before we have even started cooking the burgers! Certain breads especially fluffy white buns/French bread, etc are my weakness.

I don't bother with cheat days because for me I have been learning moderation, for example, I was craving a chocolate bar yesterday so bought a Big Turk, ate half of it after supper for dessert, then the other half will be tonight after supper. So my point is I allow myself to eat whatever I want BUT in small portions and…

Any suggestions for a filling low carb breakfast?

I would think a low GI food list would be easier than cutting out carbs.

It bugs me too because it is not for everyone, I don't really enjoy it myself. I would much rather do an hour long walk/hike with the dog. Way more enjoyable for me. But according to HIIT fanatics why do a hike/walk when you can do HIIT and spend less time even though I hate HIIT.

For me the watch fruit, it will make you fat! I can only speak for myself but eating fruit did not make me overweight. I am sure that it was more the overindulgence in fast food (sometimes two times a day), evening snacking on chips, chocolate, etc., eating when not hungry, as well as I will start fresh tomorrow so better…

I would do it by say if you have two pieces of toast in the morning for example, have one and replace the other one with something low carb. Personally I am trying to just eat less bread because bread can be my weakness. I could eat half a loaf of bread a day if given the chance.

Love love love this!!!

I hate that too! I have a friend who will say, "I was bad today, I ate a slice or two of pizza for lunch", drives me nuts when I hear talk like that. No bad food, it is just food. Eat in moderation and having one or two slices of pizza imo is moderation.
