Krispy Kremes come in liquid form

RedEye
Published July 22, 2004

For you gluttons who can't get enough Krispy Kremes, the calorie-laden
goodness now comes in liquid form.

The chain has introduced a new line of drinkable frozen versions of
four popular doughnuts: the original, raspberry, latte and double
chocolate.

The beverages come in 12-, 16- and 20-ounce cups and range in price
from $2.79 to $3.99.

A warning: The 20-ounce raspberry blend is 710 calories with 123
carbs.

But then you're not terribly worried about carbs and calories if
you're at the Kreme, are you?

The chocolate version weighs in at 740 calories with 160 carbs. Yummy!

That doesn't sound all that good to me.  I do like the hot donuts now deal
however.  Wish I could have them now and again, but they are loaded.

Custard filled doughnuts are addictive - pure evil. I ate 6 of them in
one sitting once - despite sitting outside in the sun when it was 90 F.

From the looks of your kilt'n'all, I bet it's thick flavourful beer as
well. How about a good old single malt scotch?

Aye.  I occasionally drink a single malt or two with my dad.  He tends to
pour me a wee one when I play the pipes for him.

I prefer beer in the summer months however.  Generally a Wheat or Belgium
beer in the summer.  In the Fall and other months, I do drink the thick dark
beers of England and micros around here.

Just have to be good for a couple weeks now and get back to my lowest
weight.  This part is a new learning experience for me.  It is starting to
get fun again.\

My favourites are Wiessbier and a belgian trappist beer called Blue
Chimay. It is a vintage beer that can be stored 6 years.

My dad has had over 30 single malts in his home at one time.  Interestingly
enough, he really likes a common single, Glenlevet.  I think it is a bit
strong, but that is what he really likes.

Yes, I like a good bottle conditioned beer that has a long shelf life.

I like Glenlivet , too, but a nice double wood or a smoky one, like
Ardbeg and Highland Park.

Well, not totally joking.  I plan on being able to eat at least 3000 a day
and if I go to Europe next year, I may have to bump it up due to the amount
of cycling I will be doing.  70+ a day, you can eat quite a bit of food.

I was probably hitting 4000 calories and around 100 carbs a day when we
were out hiking in the Smokies this spring.  No problem at all.  I think
lean body mass has a lot to do with this, though.  If you've got a lean
build - meaning muscle type - you're probably going to have to revise that
downward.  I'm pretty bulletproof right now, even with what I've got left
to lose, but I'm the draft horse type, not the race horse type ;-)

I forget where I saw a study of an Amish community. These are people who
are evermore not watching their carbs but weight problems are uncommon.  
They found the men covered 8-12 miles a week and the women only a bit
less.  This wasn't counting all the other physical activity, of course.  

Move all day and eat want you want of foods you've produced yourself.  
Probably how it's meant to be.

Different things work for different people, but one of the things I most
want to do is avoid using exercise as an "out" to eat more. You're doing
great in your riding, and I hope it holds up. Will you always live a life
where you can devote that much time to it? If not, how will you cope with
lowering your calorie allowances to match your decreased activity level?

It seems to me one healthy way of looking at food is you take in enough to
meet your requirements. You don't start off saying how much you want to
eat, then try to ramp up your activity level to meet that. That's giving
the food way too much focus.

Like I said... take it for whatever it is worth to you. Everyone's
situation is different. It may be worth considering. It may not. :)

I think that the truth lies somewhere in between:) I value the ability
to eat extra 400 calories worth of whatever, and more carbs, because
of my exercise. I would not want to eat an extra 2000 calories to have
to exercise them off. There is a middle ground somewhere.

Easy solution: don't eat to exercise, exercise to eat.

That is, let the amount of exercise you do dictate how you eat, not the
other way around.  On a day after riding 70 miles (which, for me, burns a
shitload of calories), I HAVE to eat more, and I HAVE to have a LOT more
carbs.  If I don't ride, those needs go away.

The tricky part on that is that I also need to consume carbs BEFORE the
ride.  If i've been LCing all week, then getting some right before riding
won't work.  I need them to day before.  So in that case, I just switch to
LF and don't overeat the day before.

Agreed.

This is how I look at it as well.  I do what I want and fuel my body as
needed.  I that is 4000 cals, so be it.  There are people eating over 6000 a
day and maintaining, but they are going big.

Anything is possible.  If it tastes good to people, it doesn't matter
what's in it, or how many calories it has, or anything, people will
flock to it and keep the makers in business.

It'll probably go by the name of something like K2, taste like a.s and
still have 80 carbs.

And look - or don't - at how many calories some of the more exotic

they made a new "light" frappucino. and it tastes very good for how few
calories. i mean it's still a fair amount, i think a little over 100, but not
nearly as much as the original one.

It is an awful lot.  One small frappucino (sp?), and my body felt those calories
until well toward the end of the next day.  I could not eat a bite.  I figure
there had to be close to 400 calories alone in the smallest serving, even more
would not surprise me.  I still have not yet gone to the website to ask what is
in it... I don't think I even WANT to know :/  I'm sure it's no better than an
equal serving of junky ice cream.  But, it was a splurge, and one that I'd not
likely repeat anytime soon.

Belly Jellies Bertie Bott's (Harry Potter) series. I'd rather eat vomit
than the sardine beans. Which is entirely possible, because they also
have vomit beans... :)
The dirt, grass, soap, black pepper, and spinach are quite good.
They have 3 new flavours coming out: Liver, Toothpaste, and Bacon.

The little chart that comes with the Bertie Bott's beans shows that
the weirder flavors have a nice tasting double, so that it you choose
a white one with yellow specks (just for instance) it might be
marshmallow or vomit.

A coworker  chanced it and wound up eating one of the vomit flavored
beans and almost puked.  Ah, good times...

They must be disgustingly sweet, with the numbers quoted.  
The 20-ounce has less than the volume of two cans of typical non-diet
soda, but has all the carbs of 3 cans of soda.

Ok, my reaction to this is interesting. It's definitely an indication of
how this WOE has changed my thinking.  Before LC I would probably have
thought "Hmm, interesting, that might be really good, I should try it."  
Now, I honestly feel sick to my stomach at the thought of consuming
something like that.  Instead of salivating, my mouth just went completely
dry, and I had to have a glass of water to cleanse the imagined taste of
this disgusting slop.  Ew ew ewwwww!! Blech!

in local neighborhood bakeries.

me two. Back in the day I'd pick up a box of 12 for the drive home and
pound them one after the other. I might have 2 or 3 left by the time I

the very thought makes me ill (as the act did then). But they were

the M.S.G. in the pringles kills me -- tastes good, but it did make me
nauseated after 20mins.

another thing I abused in the past so have eaten enough of for
awhile...

now that I'm off sugar I'm sure the BBQ flavor would taste
horrifyingly sweet now.

Just saw a blurb about this on the noon news.  The liquid form of KKs looked
clear.  I would have thought it would be more like a milk or cream based.

It makes it even nastier to me.  :-6
