All right. So as many of you know, there has been a mythical "diet" in the works for some time now. Hunter and I are determined to make it work this year. To this end, the Saturday gaming *has* to be adjusted to not order six frickin' pizzas for 8 people!! Saturday is the worst for killing the diet effort. So we proposed that we cook food. This was

Big meals where you cook a lot, most of it gets eaten, and as long as you're careful on your own portions you're Ok:

Corned beef hash and cheese biscuits
Lasagne and salad
Shepherd's pie
big pot of Chili
ham and macaroni casserole
spaghetti and meatballs
chicken cashew

I also think okonomiyaki is awesome, if you have a group of adventurous eaters. :D

I was thinking of omuyaki! You put a Japanese version omelet in with it like a pita wrap around. :D

Have you heard of the Stone Age diet? I'm thinking of trying it, since my current efforts to exercise and cut out junk food have made me feel healthier, but I've lost all of three pounds.

As we are designed to consume hunter-gatherer foods, we should be consuming:

-- Meat --- if you eat less red, more white
-- Eggs --- om nom, very good for you if you don't include a slab of bacon
-- Insects (and larva) --- pass, thanks
-- Seafood (fish and shellfish) --- fish is wonderful for your diet, but being landlocked makes it hard.
-- Root vegetables that can be eaten raw --- raw veggies are your BFF, don't peel them, cause that's where all the good stuff is
-- Fruits --- depends on what your specific goal is: apples take a lot more calories to eat/digest than bananas, which don't
-- Nuts --- high in fat, so keep an eye on what you eat in combination
-- Seeds --- mmm, mufas! also good.
-- Herbs and spices --- I'm not a fan, but some are
-- Vegetables --- lettuce is water in a green leaf. but filling.
-- Honey, maple sugar, date sugar (natural sugars) --- honey is THE SHIT! it's fabulous as a sweetener, and it's an all-natural antibiotic! yup. bee vomit kills bacteria

We are NOT designed to eat:

-- Grains --- keep in mind

Thanks! I'm not going to go too extreme. I'll keep the dairy and some whole grains.
