Life after Kellogg’s

[petros]

most mum's work now...everyone's in a hurry

My mom worked and all six kids had hot breakfasts.

 

[JLM]

in a figurative sense yes

Where does one get a hold of this "figurative" money?

 

[Sal]

Not too much wrong with rice- 11/4 billion Chinese are thriving on it.

you might want to do some research on rice

not Special K?

hmmmmmmm

My mom worked and all six kids had hot breakfasts.

Most people do what they feel like, Pete and some people don't feel like doing f*ck all. My grandmother raised 7 kids with no plumbing and hot water had to be boiled on the stove, but the kids got a hearty breakfast.

hmmmmmmm

You trying to depress me? I eat brown rice.

most mum's work now...everyone's in a hurry....

empty calories are a waste yes...

I prefer a healthy breakfast and no I wouldn't feed that garbage to anyone

but each to his own, we are the guardians of our own health and no one is going to make it out alive anyway

these days it's usually a glass of juice and a couple pieces of toast. not much for eating big in the mornin

or anytime for that matter

lol...no but ignorance isn't bliss...be aware and then choose your poison...like I said, we aren't getting out alive anyway...

 

[petros]

Do some searching on rice

not Special K?

Not Special K no. Not sure if it existed back then.

Research the difference between sugars and starches.

I am shocked at my diet recently...I chowed down big time this winter on a LOT of sugar...that spiked my weight...I was already leaning toward the maximum I allow myself...then I just quit being mindful, quit checking the scale and went hell bent for leather on the desserts...had one or two a day... oink

I gained four pounds on top of heading toward chunky...I know that doesn't sound like a lot, but my frame is tiny and it was just too much for my body...

I am back to "healthier" choices... lots of fruit and veggies...and lots of walking and swimming...it takes a lot of effort but truly my energy level about tripled

I use a juicer for fast nutrient with no fiber, a blender for smoothies and then just normal fruits, veggies and lean protein...I feel entirely different

There's not a hell of a lot of choice at an affordable price, Sal - for carbs a.k.a. filler you have about 3 choices................spuds, rice and pasta. Pasta is NOT healthy, so should be limited to no more than once a week. 6 days of spuds can get monotonous so that leaves rice. As far as I know brown rice is healthy and provides fibre.

Research the difference between sugars and starches.

Okay...what am I looking for? they are pretty much the same, no...
I don't eat processed food very much anymore...and that includes sugary cereals and I limit my bread/buns.

I don't limit starchy food such as potatoes or veggie/complex carbs though

 

[petros]

Starches are better than sugars. Starches require enzymes to break down and are released slowly. Sugars are an instant hit and that includes fructose.

Easy on the fruit, it has lots of sugar. Heard recently that cherries (if you can afford them) are the healthiest. This thought of food is depressing me, I think I'm going for my walk. (temperature is bearable today).

yes

from what I am reading lately, it would seem that fructose is processed differently by the body than man made sugar too...we are meant to ingest fruit not fruit loops

the problem I have with sugar is it would leave me shakey because it spikes and then plummets...I think I am one of those people who is addicted...I crave it, I have trouble controlling it...I just want more

I could live on sugary treats...

I've only had one dessert in two months...now I don't crave it.
every processed food is full of it...

I'm not a fruit junkie...I'd choose a carrot over an apple...

I force fruit down me...I'm getting better though

I should walk too...not many steps in today....

I think the CEO's will be getting bigger bonuses.

As they should if the stock price rises along with profits.

My kid is a nutritionist and is anti-sugar.

Genetics play a major role in how we digest sugars and starches. There is potential for humans to GMO ourselves to be almost diabetes free.

wtf dude...I am completely agreeing with you today

sugar is poison...no getting around it

the more research I do on sugar, the less of it that I eat...and for me, that is really saying something

but, if you are going to cut out sugar you pretty much have to cut out all processed food...which we should do anyway

it needs to be natural....except for stevia or maple syrup.... who knew but it is the new "go to" because of how the body processes it...just like coconut oil...we were supposed to avoid it...now we are supposed to eat it

things change, our knowledge base alters...

 

[Ludlow]

I like honey in my coffee instead of sugar

 

[petros]

Not really a poison but even poisons have their benefits in moderation.

smart....and if you choose local...it helps with allergies

I managed about 4 miles total, a couple of steep hills involved, stopped in town for a coffee at Nature's Fare.

Oh! I'm never sure what to believe about honey, some swear by it, others say it's just as bad as sugar. I guess it would be interesting to hear what diabetics say about it. They should know.
