Weight Loss Forum / Low Carb / February 2005A Catholic on the Atkins Diet
Boy, it sure sucks trying to find a quick lunch on the road on Fridays!

MSTie # 93058 "Think about how stupid the average person is, then remember half of them are stupider than that!" - George Carlin I thought Catholics didn't have to give up meat on Fridays anymore. What about going vegetarian or stopping at one of those seafood buffets or even a Chinese restaurant? Most oriental food bars have both vegetarian and seafood choices. Just about every place has a salad bar these days and some of the fast food fish places are now offering non breaded fish and shrimp. > Boy, it sure sucks trying to find a quick lunch on the road on Fridays! >I thought Catholics didn't have to give up meat on Fridays >anymore.

They don't. And they never had to eat fish. Vegies are fine. Plus people with health issues are exempt. One can always "fast" in another way, like no trashy novels or getting up an hour early or the like. Priscilla, former RC Signature"And what's this crap about Sodomites?

You could carry a can or two of tuna, along with some packets of mayo and/or mustard. Mix up your own tuna salad. :) I have seen tuna lunch kits that come w/ all of that, but it includes crackers too, and is quite pricey. Try fasting on Fridays.

By fasting, you body goes into starvation mode, and stores fat instead of burning it. Talk about a whole new level of stupid.

Talk about a whole new level of stupid. Fasting for a day? um.....no How is your body going to store fat if you're not taking any in? SignatureNow piss off. You cannot possibly be this stupid and remember to breathe. You must be trolling. -- Carmen >> Try fasting on Fridays. > > By fasting, you body goes into starvation mode, and stores fat instead of > burning it.

HTH fasting for a day isnt nearly enough to get out of stasis... regardless of what your body's doing, it doesnt wanna change. people always talk about this stupid starvation mode bs. they seem to think 'uhoh once im in starvation mode ill never lose weight'... untrue. you WILL stall for awhile.. but you WILL lose weight when you dont eat. try it :) Signature_____________________________ This be Tia's SIG!!!

Why? You can eat fish. Vatican II allows for substitutions. You could give up something else on Fridays. How about giving up eating meat on Fridays? PC i never understood why fish didnt count as meat... they still had to die didnt they? lol.. well i guess im not the greatest catholic. not only do i not give up meat on fridays, i barely remember that it was even friday to begin with... oh well. hope god forgives the forgetful and all that. good luck mate... not eating on fridays would make me hate fridays under normal circumstances. >i never understood why fish didnt count as meat... they still had to > die didnt they? lol.. well i guess im not the greatest catholic. not > only do i not give up meat on fridays, i barely remember that it was > even friday to begin with... oh well. hope god forgives the forgetful > and all that. good luck mate... not eating on fridays would make me > hate fridays under normal circumstances. I asked my mom this when I was a kid. She said we gave up meat back then because it was a treat and fish was an every day food. This does make sence. Being lent is a fast to honor everything Jesus went through in the weeks leading up to Easter (it's kind of our walk with the cross). If this is true, then now we should give up fish and pizza . I don't know about the other Catholics here, but as a child I loved Fridays during lent because we always went out for pizza or had Red Lobster. Angie |
