Food Cravings

The craving doesn’t come first, the food came first, followed by a particular food or food group thereafter, depending on what the organism needs. A food satisfies you. Then you want the same satisfaction again. It isn’t always a lacking of a particular nutrient that creates the crave, otherwise you’d be craving a lot ofContinueContinue reading “Food Cravings”

Muscle Weighs More Than Fat

Muscle weighs more than fat. Many people have large frames, not necessarily big bones. They may have broad rib cages but not always broad hips. Others have small frames, even when tall, and not always with narrow hips. They’re born that way. Bones weigh a lot by the way. Suggested weights published for the medicalContinueContinue reading “Muscle Weighs More Than Fat”

Did You Know The Brain Is 60 Percent Fat?

For those who have been told over the years that brains don’t bleed, they’re wrong. Brains have small blood vessels throughout the solid tissues.  Composition of brain besides the obvious nerve tissues: Water about 75 percent overall. Fat is nearly 60 percent of the solid tissues. Protein is the second largest matter second to water.ContinueContinue reading “Did You Know The Brain Is 60 Percent Fat?”

KEEP YOUR MOUTH SHUT

People who say they’re trying to lose weight and can’t are lying to others and themselves. What they mean is they spend a lot of time thinking about losing weight, but don’t do the actual work of it. There’s no magic anything to losing weight. It’s work. The good news is the more you workContinueContinue reading “KEEP YOUR MOUTH SHUT”

Food vs Alcohol Addiction

Many reject food as addictive, since everybody needs to eat to survive. However, the same people accept alcohol as addictive citing that unlike food which we need to eat, we don’t need alcohol; we can drink other beverages. Although it sounds logical it isn’t. How so? You answer. Many also claim that it’s easier toContinueContinue reading “Food vs Alcohol Addiction”

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”

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”

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”

Platters and Platitudes

Wanting to please everyone by nature of your genetics and ancestral leanings, plus being a feminine and masculine blend of a woman design – rejected by all of societies as an inferior breed due to your feminine side, add to that your total lack of interest in any sport that involves a ball and gettingContinueContinue reading “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?”

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”

Contradictions Are Part Of The Process Of Change

Hey, contradiction is normal. We as humans all have a contradictory component in the repertoire of assessment and solution generating part of our brains. Should I or shouldn’t I? Yes or nor or maybe. With new information blah, blah, blah. It’s never ending. Changing one’s mind, once seen as a woman’s right in a laughableContinueContinue reading “Contradictions Are Part Of The Process Of Change”

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. Why doesn’t the government tell you to stop drinking alcohol? There’s big money in alcohol. All they’ll tell you is to driveContinueContinue reading “Eat Sugar Responsibly?”

Tainted Food

Tainted Food Fresh produce (that I buy) has a faint mold smell and taste, even though it looks perfectly clean. I want to know what they’re treating the produce with and/or what they’re cleaning the mold with.  Are they spraying it all with a mold retardant after harvesting/picking or cleaning it after the mold showsContinueContinue reading “Tainted Food”

Compassion, what’s the point?

Compassion doesn’t lead to action. It’s not even necessary for action. Courage and duty lead to action. Feeling sorry for someone or pitying them is a natural emotional response to seeing hardship in others, but not for everyone. Why get wound up in someone else’s life dramas, by feeling what they feel? It serves noContinueContinue reading “Compassion, what’s the point?”

The Foods You Choose May Be Genetically Determined

The Foods You Choose May Be Genetically Determined My father-in-law had heart disease. He died at sixty-three of heart related issues. He once said to me, ‘I quit drinking and smoking and gained fifty pounds. He also ate a half a pound of bacon every day. He did not eat fast food – was notContinueContinue reading “The Foods You Choose May Be Genetically Determined”

I want to be in that place…

I’ve always been interested in my body – not only image, but how it worked. I wasn’t born, or blessed some may say, with the body I wanted. You don’t have to be athletic or well-balanced or have a high tolerance for extreme exercise to want to do what’s best, given what you have toContinueContinue reading “I want to be in that place…”

Are you or anyone you know growing or gaining weight faster than normal?

Are you or anyone you know growing faster than normal? Gaining weight faster than normal and not being able to lose it? If you want to solve the world’s obesity problem, stop feeding the world growth hormones injected into the flesh and blood that humans eat. Add to that all the drugs, vaccines, hormones, antiviral,ContinueContinue reading “Are you or anyone you know growing or gaining weight faster than normal?”

Why Are Humans So Fat?

Why are humans so fat? Because they eat FOR EVER, instead of for the moment. Or, they eat like there’s no tomorrow. Either way produces the same result: Eating more than the body NEEDS FOR NOW. Eating FOR EVER is a form of hoarding. It’s an addiction and because it results in progressive sickness it’sContinueContinue reading “Why Are Humans So Fat?”

The Law Of Inertia Keeps You From Losing Or Gaining Weight

THE LAW OF INERTIA KEEPS YOU FROM LOSING OR GAINING WEIGHT Quitting one food or beverage to lose weight may not work. For instance, say you quit alcohol and you cut calories by 500 per day. Your body will instinctively try to replace those 500 calories with some other food or beverage to keep youContinueContinue reading “The Law Of Inertia Keeps You From Losing Or Gaining Weight”

The Nature Of The Beast

When you gain weight you gain muscle and fat. When you lose weight you lose muscle and fat. So why do people get worried that they’re losing muscle plus fat when they lose weight? It’s the nature of the beast. It’s the nature of the beast to worry – about every action that creates changeContinueContinue reading “The Nature Of The Beast”

GOD IS THE RECIPE

IT’S ALL ABOUT THE RECIPE. The Recipe Is Everything That Matters. THE RECIPE IS THE ONLY THING THAT MATTERS. You say you don’t want a recipe. You laugh and say we don’t need your crazy dumass recipes. You’re dismissive when you say it’s not helping us. We need help you say, and all you doContinueContinue reading “GOD IS THE RECIPE”

An Excuse And A Reckoning

“It could have been worse.” VS “I could have done better.” One lets you off the hook, the other accepts responsibility. TWO STRATEGIES. WHICH ONE ARE YOU? OR ARE YOU BOTH? ONE IS A NON-STARTER. THE OTHER A GO-GETTER. Yes, no matter the occasion or the incident we can always say we could have doneContinueContinue reading “An Excuse And A Reckoning”

YOUR FOOD IS YOUR COMFORT

THE LORD IS MY SHEPHERD You’re not going to lose weight by eating what you always ate even if you eat less of what you always ate. Those patterns of what you always ate are entrenched in your mind. They are well established and won’t, because they can’t, move. Your eating patterns have become habitual.ContinueContinue reading “YOUR FOOD IS YOUR COMFORT”

Can You Get Vitamin D From Your Computer Or T.V.?

If radiation from the sun combines with cholesterol from the skin to form vitamin D, then why wouldn’t radiation from my computer when hitting my skin combine with the cholesterol in my skin to form vitamin D? Could I be sun-bathing while working at my computer? Multi-tasking, I like it. But where’s my tan? IContinueContinue reading “Can You Get Vitamin D From Your Computer Or T.V.?”

The Gambler In All Of Us

Most people think gambling involves money and games of chance. Buy a ticket and the odds are against you that you’ll win anything. Most likely you’ll lose. And if you keep gambling you’ll lose everything, since gambling is one of those addictive activities that no one knows who it will sting until they engage inContinueContinue reading “The Gambler In All Of Us”

Sharon’s Law Of Absorption

Sharon’s Law Of Absorption Take too much zinc and your body goes into deficiency mode. Your body stops absorbing the zinc, any of it. Thus the deficiency is created. Solution: Don’t take more than your body needs. Take too much of anything and your body instinctively stops absorbing it. Back off. Why are you overContinueContinue reading “Sharon’s Law Of Absorption”

A CONSTANT REMINDER

My age is a constant reminder of my mortality. Old age is like an incurable disease with an expiration date. When we’re young it’s the crossing of the street or getting into a car that could end it all prematurely. It helps to lift the doom knowing the odds that it probably won’t happen andContinueContinue reading “A CONSTANT REMINDER”

CHANGE AND HABITS

People resist change because they instinctively know that when they change, and are tempted to return to the old way, and then do it, they will be tempted to go back to the new way. And they instinctively want to stay where they are. It’s the nature of animals to stay on a certain path.ContinueContinue reading “CHANGE AND HABITS”

Take A Step Out Of The Ugly Past

TAKE A STEP OUT OF THE UGLY PAST I’m going to keep using the words meat, meaty, to describe the main part and/or texture of the plant until such time that meat = plant. In other words, animals will not be considered meat nor food in the future. I will not, however, refer to aContinueContinue reading “Take A Step Out Of The Ugly Past”

Using Animals To Process Your Food Before Consumption

People who won’t eat processed foods, unless they’ve been processed through an animal. What?! I could think of cleaner ways. 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 byContinueContinue reading “Using Animals To Process Your Food Before Consumption”

BABY STEPS

Sometimes baby steps are needed – in the beginning, sporadically throughout and often times when nearing the end. Today I’m baby-stepped-out. Simon says take a giant step forward. I don’t know anybody named Simon, and I’m tired of asking permission of somebody I never met, so I’m just going to do it. One giant stepContinueContinue reading “BABY STEPS”

WISHING ON A WEED

FOR ME Eating protein doesn’t make me want to eat more and more of it. Eating carbs doesn’t make me want to eat more and more of them. Simple, complex, doesn’t matter. They don’t push the addiction button – for me. For me it’s fat. Fat with anything. Alone too. But I don’t usually eatContinueContinue reading “WISHING ON A WEED”

WATCH YOUR WEIGHT – be a work in progress

WATCH YOUR WEIGHT | BE A WORK IN PROGRESS Too often we set unrealistic short-term goals that should be in the long-term category. We’re always going to start tomorrow or next week and those weeks turn into years, because the job of reaching the goal is overwhelming. Your weight doesn’t begin and end with a weightContinueContinue reading “WATCH YOUR WEIGHT – be a work in progress”

NO SHAME HERE

Fat or skinny you are accepted the way you are. Some people eat too much. Some people eat too little. Some people eat mostly healthy. Some people eat mostly unhealthy. Some people are in the middle on some counts and not others. Some manage their weight at great effort, others with hardly a thought to it. Doesn’tContinueContinue reading “NO SHAME HERE”

MY NEW THING

  I’M HAVING A FAT-FREE FOOD FLING! I’m stepping outside the box, testing boundaries, going beyond the familiar on this site. Always with a history though – the history of eating animals, the history of original sin – the ugliest of sins that made me and makes the world ugly. I’m looking for the beautifulContinueContinue reading “MY NEW THING”

FAT-FREE FRIDAY

MEATLESS MONDAY just 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 people don’t eatContinueContinue reading “FAT-FREE FRIDAY”
