food and wine published a recipe for ron ron juice.
i’m ok with it? i feel like ron ron juice is our generation’s sangria or Pims punch. and everyone is going to have their own special way to do it. food and wine will incorporate simple syrup and pomegranates and ketel one and shit and make it fancy pants. applebee’s will make theirs mostly out of strawberry daiquiri mix...

sparklepants:
Good pasta recipe. You can play with it based on what you have in the house. This was my first attempt, so I stuck pretty close except for adding a little more bacon.

Primal Eating
yosamanthrax:
If you’re interested in the way I eat (it’s kind of like Atkins… but they use a lot of chemical and soy subsitutes, both of which fuck with my bod so that one is a no-go for me) it’s called primal eating. It’s kind of hippy-dippy, but basically, you’re eating like your ancestors. Real butter, meat, dairy, eggs, vegetables (starchy veggies in moderation for me because of the...
Any food I ever post about is low carb, low sugar,...

So if you ever want recipes for something, just let me know.
Can you get me the recipe for the Tom Khai Gai (I probably spelled that wrong)? My boss made it for us once and I am now obsessed with it.
Yes. As usual, I combined like 15 recipes and took it from there.

Yummy food porn.
Well, I fell off the Wagon
But that’s ok, because each day is a day to start over.
I’ve been eating decently (not the best, but I’ve cut down the fast food) and I just need to work on adding activity to my life.
Today I am going to take a walk around the neighborhood and see if I can keep it up for an hour.
Yeah, it's the working out part that's so hard for...

Factors that get in the way:
Unemployment - I feel like I should be looking for jobs ALL THE TIME.
- Working out for an hour will not be detrimental to your job hunt. If you don’t have a gym pass and are worried about costs, the YMCA has membership fees based on income.
Depression - My body sitch seems so hopeless. I’m going to fail, so...

‘Cause I don’t know how to make an omelette.
That sounds good. I have some of those ingredients lying around. Hmmm…
Here’s how I make omelettes:
Heat the pan up really hot before putting anything on it and then lower the heat when you put in the eggs and other ingredients. (I learned that from watching Julia Child. Before that, I kept burning the outside of mine. This...

Thursday eating
I kept to my food well, with the exception of accidentally having a regular instead of a diet soda without thinking.
We were also at out mash potato mix when I got home (I’m one of those weird people that prefer box to real), so no mash potatoes with low fat sour cream for me! I ended up with Applesauce, but the lower point combination allowed me to have a bag of low fat popcorn while I...

Opps
I ending up getting a regular Dr. Pepper with lunch, so that’s one soda and one point down at once.
I also got a banana to munch on if I get hungry between now and dinner (which is another point), so I’m left with just one snacking point.
I will be fine though, since I have pently of 100 cal. (1 point) snacks in the house.
Silly mistake, next time I’ll make sure to remember to...
Starting the day off right
The weight loss method I am choosing to use to calculate my food intake is the Weight Watchers system. I have done WW before when I wasn’t in the right state of mind (I was too stressed and not ready to make a commitment to be healthier.) Now I am and I can approach it with a positive outlook.
(For those looking strictly for a system that will help them lose weight fairly quickly, my friend...
TWOP: Ten Overweight TV Characters →
The refreshing thing about these characters is that they never focused on their weight - they treated them like normal people. Being “overweight” isn’t Randy’s main/only characteristic. I’ve only seen one or two episodes of Roseanne (which ran for 7 seasons) that talked about losing weight and being healthy.
Sadly, now, any TV character over the size four (but under...

inothernews:
A new approach to treating obesity has been opened up by a discovery about how the body creates brown fat, the cells that burn white fat and turn it into body heat.
Researchers led by Bruce M. Spiegelman of Harvard Medical School report their discovery in Thursday’s issue of the journal Nature. Their paper describes the natural system by which brown fat cells are generated from...
Goals
It’s probably always best to have goals in life, even if they have to do with decreasing the size of your bottom.
I prefer to set mini goals that have a close deadline. Goals that are more than a month away I tend to put off on.
So the Mini Goals to be completed in Two weeks:
1) Decrease soda intake to two cans a day.
2) Decrease Fast Food (including Pizza) to a twice a week event (once...
My Unhealthly Self
I’m a big offender of the yo-yo dieting lifestyle. I’ve done it all - Jenny Craig, Weight Watchers, Aktins, Portien only while gyming it for two hours a day, not eating enough, eating only water base objects, you’ve named it and I’ve attempted it at some point in my life.
I will never say I suffered from an eating disorder, I do controlmy food in take. For me, food as...
