Weight Loss Forum / General Topics / May 2004Another new WOE for me - nix the onions
I've changed my meal 5 (dinner to you) from 1/2 pound spinach, 1/2 pound onions, 1/2 pound mixed veggies, 1/2 pound pasta sauce,7 cloves garlic to 1/2 pound spinach, 1/2 pound tomato paste (+ 4 oz water), 3.75 oz herring, and 7 cloves garlic. Frankly, the prior meal was too much work. I won't stick to any meal that requires more than 6 minutes to prepare - I'm just too tired after work. Also, the 2 pounds of food (plus 8 oz grapefruit juice) was too much volume for my stomach - I had to lay down after eating. Besides my new meal five, I'm changing from 3 glasses of grapefruit juice daily to 4. I credit the grapefruit juice with a 5 pound weight loss. BTW my blood pressure is down to 110/70 now after stopping eating the pasta sauce (salt). I appear to be quite salt sensitive. >I've changed my meal 5 (dinner to you) from 1/2 pound spinach, 1/2 >pound onions, 1/2 pound mixed veggies, 1/2 pound pasta sauce,7 cloves >garlic to 1/2 pound spinach, 1/2 pound tomato paste (+ 4 oz water), >3.75 oz herring, and 7 cloves garlic. Brad, I don't mean to be rude, but do you actually **like** this concoction? It sounds really awful to me! (The prior version sounded even worse, and too much.)

Do you really feel better/healthier on this type of diet? Just curious. I don't see how I could fit strawberries dipped in Nutella into this particular woe... det >> >I've changed my meal 5 (dinner to you) from 1/2 pound spinach, 1/2 >> >pound onions, 1/2 pound mixed veggies, 1/2 pound pasta sauce,7 cloves [quoted text clipped - 11 lines] > > det Brad makes it sound weirder than it really is. It is probably not tasty, but relatively healthful. And if one is hungry, everything is tasty. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- @ @ @ Please forgive my typos as my right hand is injured. @ @ @ char*p="char*p=%c%s%c;main(){printf(p,34,p,34);}";main(){printf(p,34,p,34);} "It's never too late to have a happy childhood." > I > don't see how I could fit strawberries dipped in Nutella into this > particular woe... > > det <VBG> That that is certainly an important consideration!

Start: 2/02 Maintained since 2/03 I feel fine - the "stew" needs more herring, tho. Tonite I'll try two 3.75 oz cans of herring (kippered snacks at the supermarket). Herring has the healthy omega 3 fatty acids - of the 180 calories in 3.75 oz 140 of them are fat. My wife refuses to even taste my stew!<grin>. My son is braver - when he comes home from college he'll taste it in order to make fun of me. The "secret" of yummy stews is the sauce and spices - I'll keep experimenting with those. BTW I'm now down to 156 - two more pounds down. > > >I've changed my meal 5 (dinner to you) from 1/2 pound spinach, 1/2 > > >pound onions, 1/2 pound mixed veggies, 1/2 pound pasta sauce,7 cloves [quoted text clipped - 11 lines] > > det >I've changed my meal 5 (dinner to you) from 1/2 pound spinach, 1/2 >pound onions, 1/2 pound mixed veggies, 1/2 pound pasta sauce,7 cloves [quoted text clipped - 8 lines] >pressure is down to 110/70 now after stopping eating the pasta sauce >(salt).

I appear to be quite salt sensitive. Paul, LOL - I feel that way myself, sometimes. Last nite I used two cans of herring in my mix - yum! - but never again - my stomach was a little upset. I'm going to try curry powder tonite (and no garlic - seeing dentist tomorrow). BTW 8 ozs of spinach only has 60 calories. Now, if I could only get my wife to eat my cooking... > My God it sounds like your feeding an Army! > [quoted text clipped - 12 lines] > > pressure is down to 110/70 now after stopping eating the pasta sauce > > (salt).

I like all kinds of fish but your concoction grosses me out. I cooked golden trout fillets seasoned with Mrs. Dash's salt-free lemon pepper, instant brown rice and asparagus for dinner tonight. I prefer the rainbow trout but it only sold as whole fish here and DH hates to eat around the bones. Tonia Geez, nobody likes herring here? If I call it tomato-based fish and spinach curry it may sound more appealing. I prefer canned herring big time over canned tuna. Served exclusivily in the finest restaurants...<grin>. Remember, our standard "Western" diet of meat, potatoes, refined grains and added sugars accounts for up to 70% of heart disease, America's number one killer, according to the Harvard School of Public Health. Fatty fish like herring, sardines, and salmon are thought to prevent heart disease. > > Paul, > > [quoted text clipped - 11 lines] > > Tonia > Geez, nobody likes herring here? I do.

I would gladly eat it though, as of now, as I am fasting today. i >> > Paul, >> > [quoted text clipped - 11 lines] >> >> Tonia Signature---------------------------------------------------------------------------- @ @ @ Please forgive my typos as my right hand is injured. @ @ @ char*p="char*p=%c%s%c;main(){printf(p,34,p,34);}";main(){printf(p,34,p,34);} "It's never too late to have a happy childhood." >Geez, nobody likes herring here?

Chris By the way, Brad's "slurry" can be changed into a quite atractive, expensive restaurant quality meal. All he needs to do is make a spinach salad, serve herrin with it, and make a vegetable stew from the rest, and serve protein in some separate shake. i >>Geez, nobody likes herring here? > [quoted text clipped - 12 lines] > > Chris Signature---------------------------------------------------------------------------- @ @ @ Please forgive my typos as my right hand is injured. @ @ @ char*p="char*p=%c%s%c;main(){printf(p,34,p,34);}";main(){printf(p,34,p,34);} "It's never too late to have a happy childhood." >By the way, Brad's "slurry" can be changed into a quite atractive, >expensive restaurant quality meal. > >All he needs to do is make a spinach salad, serve herrin with it, and >make a vegetable stew from the rest, and serve protein in some >separate shake. I agree it sounds better split up into separate dishes - but then why should it really matter - how often were we told as kids "it all goes down the same way". Nothing I tell myself can make Brad's recipe sound appetising though:) janice >>By the way, Brad's "slurry" can be changed into a quite atractive, >>expensive restaurant quality meal.

Fatty fish like herring, sardines, and >salmon are thought to prevent heart disease. We don't get canned herring here, but I do love fresh herrings grilled - yummy. We used to have them when I was a child so I've always known them. What we do have is something called rollmop, which I think is a raw pickled herring and is sold in jars. IMO it's up there with black pudding as one of the most disgusting foods ever made. I love fish, but the idea of fish curry isn't so appealing, especially the way you describe it Brad ;) janice Oh, I LOVE herring! > Geez, nobody likes herring here?

I like herring the Norwegian way, with pickling spice or a mustard sauce. Martha |
