Day?

Jul 14, 2007 23:47

So... I told my diet to go fuck itself today. That isn't to say that I sat down and ate a bucket of ice cream or something, but I did eat normally. I decided that all the hype was for nothing. I lost 4 pounds... I am sure by not eating a lot of white bread and sugar that would begin to happen anyway. Whatever. So I am a big fat failure, yay me ( Read more... )

And just as an aside: eating nothing but fruit juice is ONE way to cleanse the body in your opinion. There are lots of ways to do it, if you think it's necessary.

You can even buy "cleanse kits" from the health food store.

I personally think they're ridiculous. Humans have a liver, and a set of kidneys (well, most do anyway), which do the trick just fine for me.

Also, I was under the impression that beans were not complete protein as only 'animal' proteins are truly "complete". Can you please direct me to some reading?? I have always been EXTREMELY anti-vegan because of the lack of complete proteins which help build and repair tissue, so I would be interested in reading more.

Thanks!!

I read a book called the part-time vegetarian (really good!) and it went on and on about the wonders of soy beans as a rare vegetable source for complete proteins. It had lots of actual data in it. I think that is only true if they are just lightly steamed though, tofu or soymilk do not keep the benefits.

The Vancouver Library system has the book if you want to request it. I recommend the mushroom/beans stirfry (of deliciousness) and the yogurt jello thing... *sigh* Sorry, I don't remember their real names. :-(

Being in that new relationship phase isn't what love is about, babe. You know that. There's so much more that you and Ian have. I can't remember the exact quote, but some guy I never met once said at a party I never went to, "After all the sex and blowjobs are done, all you have is conversation." I believe it was a lot more vulgar in the original rendition, but really, the intent is still there. You can have physical attraction with anyone, and that honeymoon phase can make any couple stay together. You love Ian for who he is, and now is the time when that really has to shine ( ... )
