Weight Loss Forum / General Topics / November 2007Death by cheese
My son chose this as the meal he wants to help make this week: http://allrecipes.com/Recipe/Four-Cheese-Macaroni/Detail.aspx Looks like I'll be having a Lean Cuisine that night. That actually looks really REALLY good....think I'll cut it down to two portions (leftover mac and cheese = nasty), leave out the eggs and throw in some baby broccoli. Yum, dinner! > My son chose this as the meal he wants to help make this week:http://allrecipes.com/Recipe/Four-Cheese-Macaroni/Detail.aspx > > Looks like I'll be having a Lean Cuisine that night. Over the past few weeks, I've taken a break from my usual low fat nutrition program. Or rather, I've added to it by eating things like, oh, several pounds of cheese (30% fat), two 400 g chocolate bars, a 500g jar of peanut butter and lots of vey fatty salmon. My body composition and weight haven't done a damn thing. However, I have a higher resting heart rate, higher temperature and a higher energy level which has ``turbocharged'' my workouts. Burning fat is easy. Mobilizing it is the challenge: getting it move out of the adipose tissue and into the furnace. Once it gets there, it's gone. The furnace can't tell the difference between a bit of mobilized body fat and a dollop of butter. If it can easily burn one, it can easily burn the other. So, save a piece of the ``quattro fromagi casserole'' for me. :) > > My son chose this as the meal he wants to help make this week:http://allrecipes.com/Recipe/Four-Cheese-Macaroni/Detail.aspx > [quoted text clipped - 16 lines] > > So, save a piece of the ``quattro fromagi casserole'' for me. :) Why would you do this to yourself? Playit safe and not eat this kind of food ever. Lots of thin people die from heart attacks and far as I know cheese is loaded with cholesterol if it is 30% fat. I know it must taste good, but that is a survival instinct kicking in. Nature doesn't really care if you drop dead with a heart attack if you have already produced offspring in other words. Nature is still concerned with you getting enough to eat, so you like the high fat foods. Hopefully, you can show more discipline though and overcome those unhealthy urges. If you really must have milk products, try the nonfat yoghurt, or nonfat cheeses. Better yet, try the 8th Continent Light soy drink which has no cholesterol, low fat and only 90 cal per cup. It is absolutely delicious. I use lactose free fat free milk on my cereal though. dkw kkylheku@gmail.com wrote: > My body composition and weight haven't done a damn thing.

By higher I mean around 46. :) This weekend it was observed at 38! Not even upon waking in the morning, which I did at six, but Saturday at around noon! That's some kind of personal best. So, no, I definitely do not lack fitness, and I haven't been ill in years. Over the past week, I went low fat again. I didn't touch any cheese, or chocolate or anything. Plenty of carbs, lean meat, vegetables, etc. Fat mostly from flax seed oil and low fat dairy. Fewer calories, so down goes the heart rate. kkylheku@gmail.com wrote: >> kkylh...@gmail.com wrote: >> > My body composition and weight haven't done a damn thing.

My resting pulse is usually in the upper 30s (distance runner). If it started to be in the mid 40s, then I would start to wonder if I were getting ill or possibly may be over-training.

Sounds very unhealthy. Far too much fat including cholesterol. dkw > My son chose this as the meal he wants to help make this week: > http://allrecipes.com/Recipe/Four-Cheese-Macaroni/Detail.aspx > > Looks like I'll be having a Lean Cuisine that night. My god, that's a heart attach in 24 hours. >My god, that's a heart attach in 24 hours. Yeah...and a bowel obstruction! Please...I didn't post that to entice anyone. This is a recipe that the old me would have loved. The new me gags at a stick of butter and a mountain of cheese. I thought everyone would say "Eeeeww, gross. Fat." So " Yum, that sounds good" makes me feel bad. :-) This is for the kids to embrace cooking. I bought WW pasta, and low fat versions of all the cheeses and half-and-half. Even then, it's still too fat for me. I'll taste it, but that's all. I have a great Healthy Choice sesame chicken for tomorrow. > This is for the kids to embrace cooking. > [quoted text clipped - 3 lines] > Even then, it's still too fat for me.

I think it's a great idea to teach the kids that lower fat/calorie items can be used in a recipe. I haven't had macaroni and cheese for ages but I always loved it when my aunt made it for me as a child. Beverly I made it last night. I just had a spoonful. It really was the best mac & cheese I've ever tasted. But then, anything with a stick of butter and a mountain of cheese is going to taste good. I had grilled salmon. Yum. > I made it last night.

Yum. I'll take the grilled salmon with lemon. I still enjoy those old indulgences - but infrequently. Some of the stuff I will never touch again (most fast food). But things with ooey gooey melted cheese or chocolate or peanut butter, yeah, their still on the list. >>My god, that's a heart attach in 24 hours. > [quoted text clipped - 13 lines] > Even then, it's still too fat for me.

For me, the thing to do with something like macaroni and cheese is to have a small portion as a side dish, along with something healthy like lean meat or fish. Chris 262/130s/130s |
