Congrats man. I've got 4+ years w/o booze. You won't regret it.

Diet coke with lime works pretty good for me.

After 40 years of bad science perpetuated by government busybodies the truth is coming out... enjoy. http://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/wonkblog/wp/2015/02/10/feds-poised-to-withdraw-longstanding-warnings-about-dietary-cholesterol/

You can also cook spaghetti squash in the microwave pretty easily and save a lot of time if you are in a hurry. Just put the two halves upside down in a baking dish. Microwave for 12 - 15 minutes.

Great discussion! I agree with all of these posts.

I already posted a link showing people that were quite healthy and had almost no carbs. How can you say carbs are essential? http://discovermagazine.com/2004/oct/inuit-paradox

Macronutrient? No I didn't realize that. What does that mean exactly?

There are and were entire cultures that did just fine without bread, rice and pasta. http://discovermagazine.com/2004/oct/inuit-paradox Some people like non-starchy vegetables as replacements. Spaghetti squash, zucchini, cauliflower are good starting points if you choose to forgo grains. Oh and prepare to be insulted on…

Thermodynamics. Got it. This whole time I thought it involved insulin or something.

Could you post a link showing what part of my body calculates CICO and signals the difference to my fat cells for storage or release? How does that work exactly?

Not sure where you get that. My understanding is it regulates the metabolism of fat and carbohydrates. Specifically, insulin stop you from burning fat. Maybe Wikipedia needs to be updated. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Insulin

To me that says they are more interested in exerting power over other people than advocating for public health.

Gave it up (again) two years ago. One of the best decisions I ever made. Never going back.
