PB is great stuff! I'm partial to just the goobers themselves. The only oil roasted peanuts that use 100% peanut oil. That I have found anyway...

A older friend of mine had a quadruple bypass. A couple days later the surgeon was in to check on him. He said that they needed to talk about diet.

Surgeon says "Here's the rule: If you like it, you can't eat it anymore.".
So much for bedside manner. Not the way I would have phrased it.

Since July I have completely changed the way I eat. I used to go through a bag or two of crunchy Cheetos and basically graze all day long. Now I have salmon three or four times a week chicken the rest of the week, and it might be breakfast for dinner, but it's still chicken. I generally have a bowl of cereal and a banana for breakfast...I once posted here that you could get used to eating dried poodle turds if that's all you had, since July I've been eating Raisin Bran...which might not be all that different than dried poodle turds. Then I'll have breakfast for lunch usually which will be a little bit of a ground turkey a couple of eggs and if I'm feeling spunky I'll throw in some grits.


Oh and I've gone from drinking Dr pepper almost exclusively, with the occasional sweet tea to drinking water almost exclusively and just a couple of swigs the Dr pepper on occasion.

I am nearing the point I'm either going to have to buy smaller jeans or suspenders

some would argue that what you consider “tasting good” is an addiction

You’re hungry? Crack an egg and eat a brocoli… Ohh it doesn’t taste good? Why does it has to? You’re hungry? Feed yourself… that pleasure you get from eating is the definition of an addiction.

Instead of buying raisin bran, just buy bran. Mix in your own raisins. You get fresh raisins without the sugar dip on them. The cereal is much tastier too. It's also better for you.
Win, win.

The flakes are loaded with sugar too. No thanks.

Oatmeal. Not the instant quick cook sh!t. "Old fashioned" rolled or steel cut.

Another recent discovery of mine: oat bran itself. Can be cooked just like oatmeal by itself or add to anything you want to make healthier.

Most supermarket grits are not the whole grain real thing. Makes good wallpaper paste though.

I think we have been fooled, fooled into thinking all the fatty greasy salty foods (fast foods) are yummy.

Kind of hard to appreciate the subtlety of a carrot when it has to compete with a Big Mac and fries.
That said carrots are yummy and good for you, and so are a lot of other foods.

One of my fav meals is ust a bunch of veges chopped and stir fired in olive oil, I use a soy sauce glaze I make that's just soy sauce, honey and rice wine and reduced to a glaze like thickness., a dab will do you, tossed over some white rice (because brown isn't really good for you, yet another lie).

I get the healthiest bran I can find. You're right, there is still added sugar. But I can't stomach oatmeal.

Brown isn't the healthy way to go?
