There are a few of these I would like to try. Black bean prune brownies, yum!

Well, my family is from Ireland! I finally made it over there the May before last and got to spend a lot of time with my cousins. My grandma was from Dublin! Pure Irish pride here!!

This is why I must get back into shape. My weight disgusts me. I did a 12 mile hike in September… Well, relatively, that was the most difficult hike I had ever done, though certainly not the most difficult objectively. I brought a half gallon of water, and some food for the journey, my camera, and off I went. After 3 miles…

^^^^ this.

Cheeze Wiz is a great source of CLA, just a fyi.

Meat and dairy is good for your body. Your body is meant to consume these. We are built for it. Do not believe the self appointed health gurus.

Most every cook book is going to be whole food. That is pretty much what you use when you are cooking for yourself. Unless it is baking that you are talking about. But if you want good breads and pastries, you have to use at least half white flour, if not 75% for consistency. The gluten is what makes baked goods hold…

I debate on whether to delete them from my friends... but some of them are really nice...

^^^^^Nuff said.

Well, my crawfish ettouffe is mostly veggies, smothered to perfection, and that is on satisfying meal. And it makes me feel good. Same with my homemade beans... full of veggies and boy does it satisfy!!! And they are low calorie.

Add ginger, lemon whatever you want.

The studies showed that the only time it affects you is if you have 3.5g or more per day. So, if you are gonna take it, take enough for it to do something!

My friend Visiaslavavich, who grew up in in USSR (in Belaruse) and migrated to Israel where he lived until he moved to the USA. He knows what he is talking about, but most of his sources are in Russian,

In all reality, tv dinners and fast food are not part of a "balanced" diet. It would be best to not have such food go into the body. Fact is, though, it is convenient, and we live in a society of convenience. But to say it is part of a balanced diet is dishonest at the root. Even the salads at McD's has a ton of chemicals…

These are the devil!!

Well, if you want to un-bore your nuts, you can get some mascarpone cheese, dark chocolate (I prefer Lindt) and put some of the mascarpone on the chocolate and top it with walnuts. All kinds of good fat!! And it is delicious!

I input ingredients that are not in the database, or fix ones that are incorrect. I will go to the USDA www for the nutritional values. And then I will create the recipes of food I make with the title, "Topher's …"

There are essential aminos that the body cannot create that must be present in the food.

Protein is rated according to eggs. Eggs are rated at 100. That is the best natural protein available. Now whey isolate and casein isolate both are better than egg protein (albumen). Whey is rated around 140 and casein around 120. Below eggs would be your fish, poultry, meat and dairy. Way below that is the protein you…

Sports bras are definitely modest enough for that, and you will be motivating the guys to keep on keeping on! Think about it, you are covering more with a sports bra than with a bikini top. I think it is the sexiest thing a girl can wear, so I am biased...

The studies you speak of are of pills and shots of specific vitamins that are antioxidant, outside of real food.

Porn is equivalent to cheating. It ruins more relationships and causes more disorder than most things in out society. It is just rarely spoken of.

Never in my life have I cheated on a gf. I do not associate with people that cheat. When I am dating someone, I try to not even check out other women.

Just hit him up for his friends #. He might be taken aback, but chances are he'll give it to you.

Fry it in butter and salt n pepper it! Make smoothies out of it. Make guacamole. Put it on steak salads with salsa. Put slices on burritos and tacos...

Yeah, I will occasionally get a gag if Iget a gulp with a lot of the taste. Otherwise I taste mostly the fruit and yogurt. But is the occasional (doesn't happen with every smoothie for sure) that it happens, no me gusta!!!

Yes! I can play here in Raccoon. I can do a 2 day hike while I am limited with time as practice!!

Those terms are used toward people that are still boys and have not yet become men dispite their age, or by women that have no real respect for the men they have.

Use wild rice blends rather than white rice. Cook your own pots of beans, and incorperate onions, garlic, peppers and such. Use a lot of veggies. I learned through logging and creating recipes here on MFP that many of my meals are not just healthy, but low calorie. I was really surprised!
