RES: Re: processed poultry?

[Guest guest]

Hi,

Here

in Brazil, we often buy “fresh”

meat, I mean no processed meat. Lean meats are not expensive over here, so we

eat rump beef and even our ground beef is very “light”. Same is

true for chicken. Brazilians who can (afford) eating, they really eat!!! (lol)

We

have these barbecue restaurants, plenty of meat roasted on the spit. Waiters

keep walking around tables with spits full of roasted meat and customers have a

sign on the tables. If you turn it to green, waiters serve you, turn it to red

and you’re done. I live in São o and this is a gourmet

city. One can eat whatever kind of food, Italian, Japanese, Arabian, French…

and we have a nice range of $$$ among these places. Have you ever visit Brazil? Vegetables and all kind

of fruits are available here in very affordable prices.

Problem

is, modern life change us all in speedy people, so we squeeze fruits, instead

of tastefully chew them, and we eat to many fast and

fat food… I guess we are trying to recovery some good old habits, like

eating whole grains, vegetables, salads, fruits, brown rice. It’s like

vintage food! ;-)

I

am in a Brazilian SBD list, and sad to see people is

looking fast weight loss, instead of really learn how to eat healthily. These

are “fat” thoughts. Over here, we say one has to lose weight of one’s

mind, and fat mind is so hard to change… I say in that list they stand

too long in P-1 and I do not agree with this, because one can not maintain a

diet like P-1 forever. No wonder people gain all weight back so quickly.

Does any of you know somebody who has SDB diet and could keep weight? I am

looking for a lifetime diet. I do not want regain any pound. A diet that I am

capable to do all my life – is this SBD?

I

am really glad to share this virtual space with you.

Renata

PS:

are beans allowed in P1?

PS2:

I am thrilled I can eat homus! (do

you know it?)

Assunto: Re:

processed poultry?

I think they mean the

preprocessed, unnaturally created stuff. That

is to say, the stuff you buy in a package like

deli meat frequently

is just various (cheap) parts of chicken, mixed

with heaven knows

what, pressed together to look like a slice of

chicken.

I try to get real chicken breast, even if it is

prepackaged (which I

do occasionally use to throw in salads,

etc.) Read the

ingredients. You can tell if you're eating

chicken or a chicken

byproduct pressed together mix.
