Kale, collards, turnip greens - love them all! But NOT raw. We cook them southern style, for a long time until soft, with a tsp. of bacon grease added to the pot.

Pre-log a night snack. I usually set aside 200-300 calories for a snack. Once I have logged it, that's it. No more snacking. (It might help to log something that takes a long time to eat.)

I'll try it. Here is the nutrition info, for those wondering: "We will start off by saying the Impossible Burger 2.0 is a significant improvement in the saturated fat and sodium departments, compared to Impossible Foods’ original recipe. The original—which is still being served in many of the 6,000 restaurants nationwide…

One of my favs: pasta with shrimp, garlic, olive oil, and sugar snap peas.

The best pizza in town. They don't skimp on the toppings.

Christmas dinner, with guests including 2 vegetarians and 1 lactose intolerant. Subbed mashed tofu for the ricotta. Daiya mozzarella shreds. Spinach instead of meat. It was actually good.

:p

Easiest for me - put toast on plate, put plate on scale. Turn on scale. Should read "0". Add butter, record weight. If you are adding multiple ingredients, you will need to use tare button, but for just one ingredient - no.

Bread. Right now we have Pumpernickel with whole rye grains, whole wheat, whole wheat sandwich thins, whole wheat tortillas, corn tostadas, and Italian.

Unapologetic with Aisha Tyler discusses the Dietland episode shown the same evening, similar to The Talking Dead discussing the latest Walking Dead episode. It does help to watch the episode being discussed.

Interesting, I never heard of adding sugar to cucumber salad. We make it one of 2 ways - traditional, with vinegar/sour cream/onion/paprika or simply marinated in Italian salad dressing.

Higher starch potatoes are what you are looking for - Russets or Yukon Gold. Waxy potatoes such as red or white ones cook up firmer.

Start with walking. It worked for me.

Looks like a great vegetarian entree, with 10 grams of protein. I may try this with the addition of some white cannellini beans to add another 7 g protein and 6 g fiber.

And then there's this: "Blue zones", i.e. areas with longer life spans, tend to eat very carb heavy diets, as suggested by Drs. Pritikin, Ornish, and Longo.

1400 calories is quite doable. Exercise can be something as simple as walking.

This is what worked for me: 1. Buy a food scale 2. Don't eliminate any foods you like, but eat smaller portions to stay within your allotted calories. 3. Start walking.

No idea. I don't track steps. Bought a cheap pedometer, used it for a week to get a baseline for activity level, and never looked at it again.

Forgot to add that if you are offended by slang terms for body parts and blunt language, you will not like the tv series. I think they are doing an excellent job with the show and Joy Nash is great as Plum.

Loved this book! I finished it in two days. It is not "light" reading and parts of it are disturbing, but it's worth it. Caveat: I lived through the 70's "I am woman hear me roar", bra burning, women's right era and this is an important topic to me. This reminded me a bit of The Women's Room by Marilyn French, but Dietland…

Our relatives in Louisiana ALL love that "salad"!

This is closest I can find to my aunt's recipe. https://thespruceeats.com/sauerkraut-balls-appetizer-recipe-1135621

Ugh. No icing. That is just wrong.

And this is what we call kolache.

Sauerkraut balls.

I think we all need to re-read Dietland.

Interesting study, but note that sample size was small (n=44). Compares a diet high in animal protein (AP) vs. plant protein (PP). Results Uric acid decreased in both groups, but significantly more in the AP than the PP group. There were no significant differences in other variables, although glycated haemoglobin levels,…

I lost my appetite once. I was walking around with a burst appendix.

1. Fat does not make you fat. Excess calories from any source make you fat. 2. Leaky gut is not a medical diagnosis. Increased intestinal permeability does present in certain autoimmune conditions. See a real doctor. 3. The Healthy Plate is a good place to start. Sourdough bread, sprouted bread, sprouted grains are not a…
