A simple question of bread
I make simple loaves of white bread and wheat bread with an Oster bread machine. Comparing calories to commercial bread, the recipe I'm using seems to yield a bread with much lower calories per gram. Does this happen when you make bread? I'm trying to figure out if I'm mistaken somewhere. I know that King Arthur recommends…

Sanity check: Is my plan realistic?
Present weight 188 lb. Goal weight 160 lb. Height 5'10". I've been losing weight at a reasonable rate, in my opinion, since January. I understand that issues around maintaining will be both similar to and different from the issues of losing. To lose, I only needed to be in a calorie deficit and I have been comfortable…

Bread, pizza, cost Oh My!
First there was the pleasant little discussion about a fellow wanting to make bread. Then there was a helpful mention of a Forkish book about bread. Then he mentioned buying the Forkish book about bread. Then I bought the Forkish book about bread. $ Then I bought also the Forkish book about pizza. $ Then I received both…

Sprouted Brown Rice
Anyone? Today I learned that sprouted brown rice has more bio-available nutrients than non-sprouted brown rice. I also learned that it takes several days of attentive labor to make brown rice sprout, and I learned that sprouted brown rice is both available and very costly. Does anyone have any experience with this food…

Olympian Sarah Robles.
Holy cow. Is this still possible with inflation? "Sarah Robles has one of the most interesting back stories of Texas-tie Olympians. Before the 2012 Games, the Clear Lake resident lived on 3,000 to 4,000 calories a day - but just $400 a month."…

Turmeric and black pepper for releasing water
Here's the description of my weight for the past 2 weeks: Frustrating. It was 208 2 weeks ago, crept up to 209, I took a short vacation and came back with my weight at 214, and a week of >1500 sodium and just >1500 calories daily with no exercise got my weight to 211 by Friday morning. OK, it would frustrate you, but I'm…

Thinking about my so-called fast weight loss

Suspecting the new digital scale of inaccuracy.
I suspected something was wrong with my new digital food scale. It measured a Harvestland Boneless Chicken Breast at 95 g. I ate the whole thing. As I was chowing through my plate of food for dinner, I distinctly felt that it was piled higher and taking longer than usual. After it measured my pickle at 5 grams, which was…
