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.---

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!

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!

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!

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!

I've heard of steel cut oats, but never seen it. Will have to look for

it. Does it not make the 'sticky' texture that regular (not instant

either) oats do?

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.

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. I just bought a sprouter and am sprouting various things

including

lentils.

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. I

get these:

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.

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 :)
