Are you on a specific diet?

[Jory]

Smaller portions diet

 

[kevbo]

Omnivore...

 

[LilBit]

Vegetarian. I don't go out of my way to keep kosher, but most of what I eat is kosher.

I refuse to confine myself to kosher wines, and it's almost impossible to find kosher cheese in North Carolina.

Concidering the weight I gained over the past month...

I'm on the eat less diet.

Meaning, I just eat less... Spectacular isn't it?

Eating a specific diet like that is the key to being unhealthy.

You need to eat from all the food groups in moderation, get the right kind of exercise, rest and limit things like alcohol, drugs and even "bad" foods like refined anything, processed anything, hydrogenated anything or high fructose anything.

I've never met a vegetarian that didn't look grey and gaunt. I've never met a vegetarian who wasn't weak with weak bones, bad skin and lacking the ability to climb 15 flights of stairs without gasping for air.

Wow. Way to stereotype.

I'm hardly gaunt, I have a somewhat ruddy complexion, I walk EVERYwhere, and I don't gasp for breath.

On the other hand, if I eat meat, I get explosive diarrhea.

I visited two different dieticians before making the decision to go vegetarian, and I'm aware of what I need to do to get all of the proteins and vitamins that I need. I eat a wide variety of grains, veggies, fruit, dairy, and eggs, and I have no vitamin or protein deficiencies.

Oh boy, lectures from Jasun on how to be healthy!

Well, I dont want to get in the way of that .... so I'll post and run.

I'm dairy free, because I have a major reaction to dairy protein. This is not a lactose intolerance.

I learnt to explain this in multiple languages for my trip around europe.

Commercial plug time: Jacketman and I are working on a website to provide cards in multiple languages to assist you in explaining to restaurant/cafe staff what your food needs are. Be that a food allergy or vegetarian.

How many here would use such a card?

 

[LilBit]

uh huh.

I'm sure.

If so, you're one of the very few vegetarians who isn't being trendy who actually has a reason to be one and knows what they're doing. It's still not as healthy to be a vegetarian unless, of course, you get explosive diarrhea if you eat like a few million years of evolution have programed our bodies to eat.

Somebody had a nice, big bowl of Snarky Puffs for breakfast...

I'm a Cunty-O's man myself.

You just have them with rice milk, right?

Hell MOTHERfuckin' no! We have a great local dairy that sells organic, hormone-free milk in reusable glass bottles. I'm not much for drinking plain milk, but this milk is good enough for me to drink as is.

I'm actually quite fond of dairy. I eat at least a cup of yogurt a day, and it's not unusual for me to eat two. I tend to snack on string cheese, and I love bagels with cream cheese, tomatoes, red onion, and sprouts.

I also eat a fair amount of eggs. I used to eat Egg Beaters because I have high cholesterol (thanks, Mom!), but I switched to cage-free eggs because I read enough convincing reports about the health benefits of egg yolks.

On a separate note, I'm so glad that the country has gotten over its carbophobia. I knew so many people who basically cut all carbs out of their diet (they called it the Atkins diet, but they usually didn't actually read up on the principles of Atkins), and as a result, they cut out fiber along with the starches and sugars. And on top of that, they paid no attention to the kinds of fats that they were eating; as long as it was protein, it was all good.

I was working in a restaurant at the height of the Atkins craze, and it amazed me that people would come in, order a greasy cheeseburger (minus the bun), and call that a meal. A few people would get broccoli on the side instead of fries, but we microwaved our broccoli in some sort of artificial butter-esque oil, which totally negated the health benefits.

 

[LilBit]

that's me! i love cunty-o's with organic rice milk.

And that, my dear, is why you turn me on.

 

[3stripes]

are you stalking me or something?

Are you paranoid or something?

You've made 400 odd posts. How many of those have I replied to?

 

[LilBit]

I saw a bumper sticker that read "Atkins is dead, pass the bread."

My dad used to get so annoyed when we'd go to the Olive Garden. (I know, I know--but he likes the food there, so I suck it up and eat their crappy pasta.) My whole family would come in and sit down, and they'd give us three breadsticks for eight of us. He'd usually make a face at the server and say, "Oh, no, we're not on Atkins. You can keep the bread coming."

Damn, now I want garlic bread. And I have no garlic in the house.

 

[LilBit]

and yet you seem to know an awful lot about me.

I'm the one who correctly identified your favorite breakfast...

 

[LilBit]

I kind of figured that was a given.

*dons jockstrap*

 

[3stripes]

and yet you seem to know an awful lot about me.

Really? Given how much you shove yourself in peoples faces around here its hard to avoid knowing something about you.

Yet I've never bothered reading your award winning blog.

Dont you think its time you got over yourself? Most around here certainly have ....

 

[LilBit]

ew, go away. your cum tastes like yogurt.

But... It's CARAMEL yogurt!

Seriously, this stuff fuckin' rocks.

 

[3stripes]

to be more accurate, most people around here either have gotten under me or would just like to.

Whatever you say ... if you dont want a stalker why dont you use the ignore function??

Or would that be too much like common sense?

I'm an omnivore. I like my meat (chicken and fish FTW). I even eat militant vegans. You know, the sort who tell me that 'red meat is bad for you 'cause it makes you angry/bald/stupid/impotent/glow-in-the-dark' and to 'think of the poor fluffy animals, you'd eat Bambi raw, wouldn't you'.
It's not the fact they're vegan (sometimes vegetarians do it as well). I'm not adverse to a veggie meal myself. But sometimes they have a holier than thou attitude that makes me want to kill them, chop them up and serve them on a bed of non-organic lettuce.

*Steps off soapbox*

That sounds an awful lot like my crazy ex-roommate. He had severe psychological problems, but rather than taking his meds, he went vegan. He was convinced that eating animal products was the reason he had violent tendencies.

And then he'd go off his meds, flip out at our other roommate and go on rants about how he was scared of her becasue she was a meat-eater. Meanwhile, he, the "peaceful" vegan, was throwing furniture around the living room.

I almost considered eating meat just to piss him off.
