Sucess Tastes Best Animal-Free

It’s time to take this bull of a body by its horns and force the weight off. No kidding around. I want to be trim so I will be trim. Remember the scales? I just found another interpretation that just might do the trick. When you want to be trim more than you want toContinueContinue reading “Sucess Tastes Best Animal-Free”

Eating In vs Eating Out

The best tasting food is what you make at home. The worst is what you eat out at restaurants, quality-wise. If you want quality food, eat at home. If you don’t, eat out. Most people eat out to be around people. Put You Tube on a video tour of a city, any city, and eatContinueContinue reading “Eating In vs Eating Out”

Feeling Full After Two Bites?

When you eat a couple bites, you’re not supposed to feel full. And when you eat three meals back to back, you’re not supposed to feel like you haven’t eaten. Yet, even when I’m at the feel full stage after two bites, I keep eating and the full feeling goes away. I’m telling you howContinueContinue reading “Feeling Full After Two Bites?”

Mind-Brain

Tomorrow will be better if it gets here on time. The mind doesn’t end at the brain. The entire body and all its systems and interactions are encompassed by the mind – every cell. Ever recall saying that a particular body part seems to have a mind of its own? Well it does, essentially. ButContinueContinue reading “Mind-Brain”

My New Favorite T.V. Snack

It’s hard to imagine, once tasting these Multi Grain Cheerios that they’re gluten-free. And also animal-free. Never having been a fan of morning cereal with milk, these lightly crispy circles make a great snack, whether sitting at the computer or watching television, they nourish and fill, but they don’t overfill. One and a third cupsContinueContinue reading “My New Favorite T.V. Snack”

The Russian Mexican with the morning news

THE RUSSIAN MEXICAN A simple but addictive open-face sandwich goes like this: 1- Big slice of fresh Russian black bread. Toast the bread or not. I tried it both ways and prefer it not toasted, but you decide for you. 2- Spread the bread with 2 oz. WHOLLY GUACAMOLE, I used original style. Steve buys them inContinueContinue reading “The Russian Mexican with the morning news”

Cut Out The Processing Animal

We grow more plants to feed animals whom we kill to eat, than we grow to feed humans. But when we eat the animals we’re not getting the benefit of all those veggies eaten by all those animals, because the veggies are no longer veggies. The veggies eaten by the animal build muscle, fat andContinueContinue reading “Cut Out The Processing Animal”

I never crave protein – only fat, sugar, salt

This was my breakfast last Saturday. Don’t laugh, ninety percent of the time I eat healthy, and this isn’t so bad. Fig Newtons are animal-free and only 200 calories per pack of two long ones. The perfect cookie for the toothless or people with dentures. Now I know why it was my father’s favorite. GrapefruitContinueContinue reading “I never crave protein – only fat, sugar, salt”

Update On Water Diet

I’m back from a brief hiatus now, taking care of Me. Although I can’t think nor speak in multiple languages, I can think and write from multiple perspectives. I consider it a gift and a burden. Unless I take seriously “down time for me” I won’t stay at my optimal. My “down for me time”ContinueContinue reading “Update On Water Diet”

“The First Supper”

I start off the day in a fasting mindset. It makes me think about it while still ‘in it’ from the night before. Usually when I plan a diet, I set the next day as the time to begin – or if I have an event, the day after that. Steve’s notorious Last Suppers sprangContinueContinue reading ““The First Supper””

The Water Fast Has Begun

Water is the most valued natural resource in the world. Water is also the complete food, whether required as nature intended, or by our own design, we still need water to survive. 9:37 A.M.

Platters and Platitudes

Do You Have To Eat Fat To Make Fat?

The body needs fat, but you don’t need to eat fat to make that happen. The body stores all excess consumed calories as fat, regardless from whence they came. Simple. Stop making it confusing for the purpose of profit and keeping the fat-sellers in business. All foods contain fat. That most vegetation, excepting nuts andContinueContinue reading “Do You Have To Eat Fat To Make Fat?”

GUMS

Why do some companies now put ‘no gums’ on their prepared food labels? What is so offensive about gums? Paleo. It’s the paleo people who want nothing processed. But I have yet to see an allergy label attached. All plants consist of some form of gum or milky substance. The name we give it reallyContinueContinue reading “GUMS”

Eating Habits Signs Of Procrastination

Overeating and eating too frequently are signs of procrastination. That means you’re not yet ready to proceed at whatever needs to be done, so you fill your time space with food and beverage. Are you a procrastinator? Chances are you struggle with your weight – either up or down. Eating and drinking substitutes for whatContinueContinue reading “Eating Habits Signs Of Procrastination”

Sharon’s Sour Green Beans

Some people eat green beans the same way their entire life. I like to try new and different.

The amount of fat from the olive and pine nutContinueContinue reading “Sharon’s Sour Green Beans”

Had Another Fat And Sugar Attack

So how did I satisfy it? I used what I had on hand, and again I’ve never been a fan of molasses unless it was in something. I recall as a kid, when watching my mother cook, she ran out of sugar and substituted molasses. Well, none of us liked the cookies, so we didn’tContinueContinue reading “Had Another Fat And Sugar Attack”

Coffee and Molasses

Coffee and molasses? There’s something about those two, especially when the coffee is served black, they just hit it off! 1- Drizzle a little molasses into your cup of hot coffee. 2- Add a wedge of fresh orange and you’ve got a party in a cup. I drink my coffee plain – black – butContinueContinue reading “Coffee and Molasses”

When I Crave Fat And Sugar

Maybe some people only crave fat or only crave sugar. It seems lately that when I crave anything it’s a combination of the two. So what to do between feedings for a simple to prepare snack – when you’ve eaten all your snack bars and the cupboard runs bare? This is a snack not aContinueContinue reading “When I Crave Fat And Sugar”

RE: The Two Minute Rule

How do you stop procrastinating by using the two minute rule by James Clear?

Extending Autophagy and/or Ketosis

Extending Autophagy and/or prolonging Ketosis Could lead to dependence on fat already stored in cells as fuel sidestepping glucose even when there’s plenty of glucose available. Even when the body should be out of ketosis, due to carbohydrate consumption, ketosis still may occur – even long after the ketosis diet regimen was terminated. It’s calledContinueContinue reading “Extending Autophagy and/or Ketosis”

Stop Hedging

I’m giving myself choices. I’m not one for eating the same breakfast, lunch or dinner every day. Lots of people are and that’s fine for them. I’m just as happy with leftovers from the night before as someone else is with their oatmeal done the same way every day. I’m not even big on breakfastContinueContinue reading “Stop Hedging”

Animal-Free Friday

ANIMAL-FREE FRIDAY MEATLESS MONDAY encourages people to eat other parts of the animal on the one day a week they don’t eat meat. The animal’s eggs and milk used in a variety of ways doesn’t do any more good for a person’s health than eating flesh every day. It’s not a sacrifice, since most peopleContinueContinue reading “Animal-Free Friday”

Cumin – I’m In – Finally

Cumin smells like human male underarm perspiration to me. Makes me wonder why. Does that mean it has testosteronic properties? Or did I make that connection between sweat and cumin by being around people from India who eat a lot of cumin? And the odor comes out their sweat glands. I said a while back IContinueContinue reading “Cumin – I’m In – Finally”

DON’T PUT AN ANIMAL IN YOUR BODY; DON’T PUT A ROCK IN YOUR GAS TANK

Eating only protein, or only carbohydrates or only fats will not produce a healthier you in the long term. We’ve been led to believe throughout our lives that animals are protein, and everything else are carbohydrates, except for the fat of animals and vegetables. Long ago, fats came only from animals – long before someoneContinueContinue reading “DON’T PUT AN ANIMAL IN YOUR BODY; DON’T PUT A ROCK IN YOUR GAS TANK”

Eat Sugar Responsibly?

Eat Sugar Responsibly? Why not? The government in their healthy ads are always telling you that sugar is essentially poison to your systems – leads to high blood pressure, obesity, heart disease, diabetes.

More importantly and detrimental toContinueContinue reading “No More All-You-Can-Eat”

SWING Diet Has Its Benefits

Eat the same, weigh the same, leads to old fat accumulation that never gets recycled. The body only burns what it takes in and needs, then stores the rest. If you’re always eating the same, those fat stores don’t get replenished with fresh fat. Your fat contains the toxins and all the junk that youContinueContinue reading “SWING Diet Has Its Benefits”
