I remember the first time DBF and I ate red velvet cake.

As someone whose "detox organs" (in my case kidneys) ACTUALLY stopped working, if any of your actual real-life organs stopped working, a green smoothie ain't gonna help.

I just snorted my melon cubes. Thanks a lot. :#

Unless your genetics say otherwise. Mine didn't change despite at 75-pound weight change over the years.

That's food for you, made up of chemicals.

It irks me that there are options/companies that cater to food preference fads like paleo, but if you have an actual medical dietary need (low-sodium, in my case) you're SOL.

There's always sugar-free gummy bears. Or Alli.

Sometimes I wish they could just drain regular water weight like they can ascites. Stupid edema.

Ascites aren't the same thing as normal fluid retention, which is in the bodily tissues.

And here's where I started crying with laughter in my office.

I use mine the most for boiled eggs and yogurt, also for chicken stock, and the occasional soup or chili. Cooking chicken breasts quickly from frozen is amazing, but the one caveat I have is that food can get overcooked easily ("fork tender" is not ideal for all meats) and get that bland lack of taste like in a slow…

What "diet plan" are you using?

I know someone who has what she calls resting murder face. Works like a charm.

I worked with people from a local hospital that moved after umpty-ump years in its old location; when they started taking furniture out of the board rooms they discovered that the walls were originally white, not beige.

I'm hung up on the barbecue sauce. I haaaaaaaate commercial barbecue sauce.

How come GMOs are only supposed to make us magically fat and not, like, magically have superpowers?

There wasn't any change in my thinking, just in my lifestyle. And how do you decide a "naturally thin" person? Someone who's thin at that moment? Someone who used to be overweight but isn't anymore? If someone is like me and stopped being "naturally" thin, does their data point get removed?

I was "naturally thin" until I wasn't. People aren't magically one or the other.

Best autocorrect evar.

I think it depends on how much they got bigger when you gained weight; I've been a 36A from 125 pounds to almost 200 pounds, my family tends to put all our weight on below the waist.

I love a nice fresh crunchy salad.

You'd probably be better off making a decision to go plant-based based on some actual science-related info, not a scaremongering movie.

For greater accuracy I've started weighing my rice rather than measuring it with a cup. I still eat white rice A LOT.

If salmon is bland you're doing it wrong.

'Fessing up that I came over to see if this was about the cooking vessel or not.

I've had an Instant Pot for about a year and I love it for homemade yogurt, compote to go in the yogurt, hard-boiled eggs that peel every single time, and chicken stock (what people called "bone broth" before they decided it was a magical cure-all). I've also made a cheesecake that came out perfect, cooked dried beans in…

...does "the whole avocado" mean you have to eat the pit too? Is that what we've all been doing wrong?
