Guest guest Posted October 23, 2007 Report Share Posted October 23, 2007 That sounds delicious, Press!!....--debra I've been putting canned pumpkin (unflavored the plain stuff) into mine with raisins, chopped apple, some walnuts, lots of cinnamon and a touch of maple. Oh, and some ground flaxseed.--- > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted October 23, 2007 Report Share Posted October 23, 2007 I've really been enjoying this thread! :-) What do I really like??? Sugar. It's kind of an issue when I'm eating such small amounts of food in a day and I crave sugar, sugar, sugar... *sigh* What else do I love? I love a good old bowl of cereal :-) I LOVE ice cream! I LOVE watermelon! Basically I just love food:-) All of it, the healthy and the unhealthy! Anyways, I completely love the IE way of eating. I did the Weigh Down diet nine years ago (basically a faith based IE program) and lost 50 pounds so easily. Now, two kids later, up 25 pounds, I'm needing to really get back in tune with my body and listen to it!!!! I needed support in this, looked online and found out about IE. Wow, how awesome! I was so excited! Anyways, you all look like a great bunch of people. I love how active this forum is! :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted October 23, 2007 Report Share Posted October 23, 2007 I, too, switched to skim milk in my teens because my parents wanted to drink the lower fat milk. It took some getting used to, but I can't drink 2% either. I can drink 1% if I have to. It's interesting to hear all the different opinions about milk! Thanks!

I used to see my mother drink it and think - yuck! But when I was a teenager I spent a couple of weeks visiting my uncle's dairy. We drank WHOLE unprocessed milk and it was like drinking liquid cream. I put on over 5# during my visit and I started drinking low-fat (2%) then. I later switched to 1% and a few years ago dropped to the non-fat level. I know its not most people's preference, but now I can't hardly drink 2% (which is least one can find in restaurants). I'm also not a big water drinker so in a way milk became one of my major fluid intakes so I guess its better that I don't prefer whole milk! > > Skim milk is one of those things that > I've tried and tried to enjoy because > it's supposed to be " good " for me, > but I just hate it. Everyone says > you get used to it over time, but is > bad food something I WANT to " get used > to!? " I'll stick with my 2%, thanks.

Guest guest Posted October 23, 2007 Report Share Posted October 23, 2007 Yep! Now I do! No more gorging on dry chicken breast/harboiled eggs and crappy fake protein shakes. I'm eating what " I " feel is healthy. Lots of veggies, fruits, eggs with BUTTAH, real cheese, real dressing, good hearty whole grain breads etc. Lentils. I forgot I loved lentils--and chorizo, and red meat. Lord help me I love the red stuff! Keep your chicken! If I'm gonna eat meat, it's gonna be the red stuff, though it will kill me..LOL! You know, today, I ate 1 cookie. ONE. It was all I wanted. This is awesome! > > > > Fat free dressing...ugh!!

Guest guest Posted October 23, 2007 Report Share Posted October 23, 2007 I like bananas while they remain 'firm' (just after green), but once they soften, Its banana nut bread, or banana oat muffins of they get tossed! A neighbor suggested fried bananas for the riper ones, but somehow that doesn't sound good to me either. In fact I like most of the fruit I eat to be 'just ripe' and NOT 'mushy' in texture. > > Texture is important .

Guest guest Posted October 23, 2007 Report Share Posted October 23, 2007 LOL! You really made me smile. Check the current research though - the red stuff never was gonna kill you - But, then, your body already knew that I love lentils, too.

Guest guest Posted October 23, 2007 Report Share Posted October 23, 2007 Not at all sticky. It cooks up more like whole grain stuff you were talking about. It's just bits about the size of grapenuts (in scotland they call it 'pinhead' oats) that stay individual and chewy. There are a couple of brands now. i think even Target sells them.

Guest guest Posted October 23, 2007 Report Share Posted October 23, 2007 Um...so...this weekend I had a dream about an ENORMOUS sheet cake with tons of sugary frosting and I was eating a lot of it. I'm not making it up! I have been known to dream of grocery store sheet cake. " Guilty " pleasure, I guess? The funny thing is, after I woke up I didn't run out and buy cake!! If I had been dieting I surely would have. Now I'm thinking, " Wow, that dream was wonderful! I ate so much cake and frosting and it was fabulous! " Weird and crazy, but true. I think this IE thing is really starting to sink in. --- Katcha wrote: > Hi Sigi, > > Sheet cake is just regular cake made in a shallow > pan (like a deep > cookie sheet) so that there is greater surface area > upon which to > decorate as well as easier to slice into many small > pieces.

Guest guest Posted October 23, 2007 Report Share Posted October 23, 2007 I'm assuming that the nasty sheet cakes were the store bought type. Home made is ALWAYS better! (I cheat - I use a mix most times :) > > I'm with you, Ivy, my buttercream frosting is made with butter! I'm curious about all these sheet-cakes-are-nasty posts. I wonder, if everyone eating store bought sheet cakes? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
