Anything fat-related like that might kick in again at the dentist's office though.Originally Posted by specsaregood
Genuine, willful, aggressive ignorance is the one sure way to tick me off. I wish I could say you were trolling. I know better, and it's just sad.
Thanks , all of you have convinced me to never alter my diet .
Do something Danke
Mr Animal doesn't mind. He's used to hearing things that would scare a weaker man, lol.
I have too, actually. I'm going to have a spoonful. Can't hurt and I'm miserable.
Unless you're talking about that sugary instant oatmeal that comes in packets, what you're saying is simply untrue. Oatmeal is very nutritious and it is not a high glycemic index food.
Back when I used to eat unhealthy I'd start my day off with a cup of coffee w/sugar and maybe something sweet then I'd head out the door and I'd always crash a couple hours later and have no energy. But now I often start my day with oatmeal and I always have a very stable amount of energy throughout the day.... and I don't even feel hungry again until like 2 o'clock.
Oatmeal is fantastic, unless you're you're talking about that instant kind I mentioned before.
Even your paleo people list it at 55... which is considered low.

Not bursting my bubble. I stated several times that I don't know if blood type has anything to do with but I do believe that different people thrive on different types of diets and it probably has to do with a lot of reasons. Personally, I haven't been feeling great lately and thought I would try something different.

Today's plan...
Breakfast: plain protein shake - no fruit. I had to drink it fairly early because I had a dentist appointment.
Snack/lunch : I'm combining them today because the appoint threw off my schedule and I'm hungry. Anyway, I just ate a bowl of Redneck caviar with 1/2 a small avocado and half a grapefruit.
Snack: Small bowl of butternut/acorn squash and leek soup I made yesterday
Dinner: Blackened trout with a kale salad and a little avocado.
Exercises
I'm only going to stretch, do some upper body weights, and go for a walk today. Between the assercises, callenetics, and elliptical the past few days in a row, my lower body is sore. Honestly, I can barely get up the stairs.
This is true, oatmeal actually has a low glycemic index compared to other carb type breakfasts. The reason why is that it is high in fiber and other complex carbs so it takes your body extra effort and time to break down. Its sorta like a slow release medication.
But also small observations like this is what people should consider when making their diet. I think it could be possible for some people with very odd digestive system to diet oatmeal about as fast as say a twinky but those people are the exception to every rule we know about human metabolism. Just do what works for you and if a blood type diet actually works for u, do it.
Also, I agree with your earlier comment about the demonetization of carbs especially by paleo types cos it is the food nutrient which our paleo ancestors grew up eating. It is the most abundant with the nutrient our body needs to power our cells readily available. My advice would be to eat a balanced diet and be active. The biggest thing that have changed between us and our paleo ancestors is our activity level. But it is way easier to tell people to eat more meat than telling them to get off their asses and move.
hmm...I must be thinking of oat flakes or something.Anyhoo, I stick with eggs. They taste better, they're healthier, and there's a zillion ways to prepare them. There's a reason they're an athlete's staple.
(I know how to make very tasty omlettes

Don't get excited, I didn't mean that as a compliment.Not being a fan of toilet humor means your are a smart ass now
I'm not sure what I've done to warrant your snark here lately but it's getting tiresome. Just put me on ignore, ffs.
Yeah, I realized after I posted that that it probably wasn't necessary… because a couple other people had already addressed that. And it sounded like you didn't really strongly believe it anyway.

Agree with his asessment of the BT diet, but his vegan bias shows in the second half. Real nutrition science has long dispelled with the myths he's perpetuating about fats and specific foods.
Y'all think too much into this stuff.

Sorry I didn't update this morning, my brother had another heart attack.He's fine (as fine as he gets, anyway) and didn't let me know until after he survived the stints being replaced. What the $#@! is it with men? He didn't want me there until after he survived. I guess he didn't want to hear me bitching about his Stouffers mac and cheese habit but I wouldn't have. Anyway, I got a call last night that he was at Emory hospital and needed a ride home and would I come and get him....Of course, I would love to drive to Emory during rush hour when you didn't see fit to tell anyone you may be dying. I'm not being dramatic. This brother had an aneurysm in his aorta a few years ago, this is his 6th heart attack, and my oldest brother died of a heart attack last year - I didn't mention it here because I was too brokenhearted but I disappeared for a few weeks at the beginning of last year and that what it was about.

I did it. Family matters came up and I didn't post the last few days of my experiment but I stayed away from land critters and dairy all week with minimal amounts of fish. I'm not going to stick with it, btw. I felt hungry a lot. I rarely feel hungry but on days I didn't eat fish, I was ravenous. I AM going to keep trying to eat a morning meal but I'll probably ditch the breakfast cement and go with a boiled egg. I'm also going to move my main meal to lunch instead of dinner. I did feel better not having a bunch of meat on my stomach at bedtime. AND I found a good food I'd never tried before. Quinoa. I love it.
quinoa is good.. for filler, chia seeds (yep.. like the chia pet seeds) make some nifty puddings and aspics.. they swell up.. they thicken and they are a decent protein source too. I use the white seeds.. the black ones are distracting in most things.
Coconut milk, a little honey and chia seeds makes a good pudding snack.. no dairy but just as satisfying.

I LOVE chia seeds. I put them in my water for a snack and add them to salad dressings to thicken them up because I don't like my dressings too oily. I've seen a bunch of pudding recipes on Pinterest but I've never tried one. Maybe I should do that this week.
might be a good replacement for breakfast cement/spackle
