Yes, we ate them in Canada. I would have liked to have brought some haggis
back, but Bruce said we couldn't.

Oatmeal with fresh-picked apples from our favorite tree. Lunch will start
with two tylenol and one benadryl and progress to three more pills for nausea
and may include a hospital blueberry bagel during infusion. Last time Jim
found half a chocolate cupcake in the patient kitchen.

Re 373 and 374, people that go out of their way to say they don't care, really
do care. Duh.

Jim ate the bottom half of the cupcake. Someone else probably pulled off the
top half. Today he found two entire ones. Lunch was all those pills, and
bread and cream cheese, and half a blueberry bagel and three juices and two
apples. Things I could eat left handed.

okay.
Today our larder was a little bare, so I had my father come over with
a little food to tide us over until we could find some foodstuffs
elsewhere. He brought a half a head of Napa cabbage, some apples, and
some Asian pears. Julie made the cabbage into coleslaw, added some
sunflower seeds, which I had for lunch with one of the Asian pears.
Right now, I'm having some steak with cucumbers and rice... we're
trying to use the rice in our storage.
Oh yeah, I *am* heavily lampooned in the M-net parody of this cf, of
this very item... well, quite a few items aren't altered much.
Apparently not many believe in low-carb. *shrug* It's an
experiment. I know I've lost some inches-- that's what matters.
Breakfast is pretty damn funny when it's pretty much the same thing
over and over again.

If what you are doing is working for you, never mind what people think
about it.

Ogo's again today: laulau, ahi poke in a mayo and chili oil sauce,
fruitcup with coconut pudding, pine apple and mandarin orange, ice
kona coffee.
Promised myself to take a break on laulau - already made it twice at
home recently, but when Ryoji mentioned he had taken delivery of fresh
kalo leaves today...

I admit, I'm pretty sceptical about low-carb diets, especially when
they're substituted by high-fat diets. I understand that you should
decrease your carb-intake, and protein is good, but when you have a
lot of food that has high fat in it, I begin to wonder if that's
really effective. It seems it's a heart-attack just waiting to happen.
But, as slynne says, if it works for you, that's what really matters.
As long as no long-term damage is done, it's all good.

I personally believe that the word "buffet" is not part of any healthy eating
plan.

Well, you could go to a buffet and pick out the less greasy stuff. And
less of everything. Though, when it comes to me, I don't seem to work
that way.

Restaurant food in general is not healthy - it is usually full of fat and salt
and meat and not enough vegetables. But a buffet at least lets you eat more
of the (salty fatty) vegetables.
High protein diets are bad for the kidneys and liver, which have to filter
out lots of protein breakdown products. If you are eating a high-fat diet
and burning as many calories as you eat, it might not hurt you. I read a
magazine article yesterday which seemed to say that 1/4 of Americans have
insulin problems and cannot eat large amounts of carbohydrates that put
glucose into their bodies too fast (refined carbohydrates). Whole grains
digest much more slowly. If jaklumen is in this group, I would suggest brown
rice, 100% whole wheat bread, rather than biscuits or jelly donuts, also a
lot more vegetables and fruits, which are not refined (whole fruits, not
sugary juices). Cooking vegetables releases more vitamins (but don't boil
them and throw out the water -steam or microwave or stir fry).

The only reason that there is even a shred of truth in the first
statement of #388 is that, on balance, most restaurants are fast food
places, or barely distinguishable therefrom.
If one makes a habit of avoiding those types of establishments, one may
have an extremely well-balanced and healthy diet eating exclusively
restaurant food.

True, but the trick then is to avoid bankruptcy.

Oatmeal with thawed milk from some dairy farmer friends with locally picked
apples. All the restaurants I have eaten at make food that is greasy and
usually salty. Dinersty will leave out the salt on request. Chinese
restaurants will often steam food instead of frying it. We cook without salt.
Tios food is to us inedible. It takes me three days to recover form eating
in a restaurant and have the salt come back out of me. At least the hospital
food was mostly not salty (just peppery).

Lunch was a tuna sandwich - 6 oz. of Starkist light tuna between two
slices of high-fiber bread, mayonaisse added - and a fresh veggie salad
with homebrewed oil and vinegar dressing. Apple for dessert.
As usual, the cats demanded their share as soon as I had opened the
tuna can.

resp:383 indeed, but read on...
still, I'm supposedly geeked about bacon pancakes at M-Net!
resp:385 note, I'm watching fat, too. lots of salad at lunch.
resp:386 no, it's not going to be a habit... really.
resp:387 me too.
resp:388 true. And when the hell did I say I was eating a lot of
biscuits and jelly donuts, hmmm? Brown rice doesn't keep too well,
but I can consider it for dinner. Right now I need to eat the white
rice in storage.
resp:389 in general, that's why I'm learning to avoid them
altogether... and I think my wallet will thank me for it.
I'm not even going to bother mentioning lunch... because I don't need
the grief today. I was going to have just coleslaw again (even though
it's not terribly filling) but Julie put banana peppers in it (oh
damn, I can't wait for the M-Net parody on this one) which put a bite
in it.
Dinner is steak over rice again-- using what we have in our storage.
Two things, folks. First of all, I gained a lot of friggin' weight
because of that lovely drug, Depakote. Yeah, I'm bipolar (You can
kiss my ass making jokes about that). Second, most low-carb diets are
not meant to be long-term things. I would like to return to maybe
eating groats or something like that for breakfast because I'm sick of
eating eggs every single day. Dinners are good, but eggs... man, I
hope somebody is parodying that, not to mention the endless lunches of
salads or my silly gorges of Chinese buffet. Preach on.

I think you'll find that brown rice keeps at least as long as white in the
refrigerator. And I've never had a problem with letting it sit in a covered
pan most of the day to eat from as a snack.
