Stale Cheezie

[LonelyGhost]

not good idea ... ok, i know i am on a strict diet (frikkin doctors!) but damn, you know, i'm like starving for some comfort food and i get a whiff of cheezie and damn if there's not one left over from the Superbowl! and hell that wasn't so long ago and these things have enough preservatives to last a nuclear winter ...

but this is yikes of a Taco-time e-coli and Norwalk virus chaser magnitude ...

its like kickin smack ... its toughn'shit and then you're good and suddenly you score some and BOOM major frikken o.d. cuz the old system just ain't used to it.

so ... one month of zero junk, fast, and unhealthy food or drink and one cheezie and i'm jones'n like courtenay love in an all night pharmasave!

sure i'm getting my abs back and my dick has discovered the V in vitamins, but damn i love the smell of nachos in the morning!

I've eaten so many pine nuts i'm shitting custom bookshelves for IKEA!

the worst thing is when i think beaver, i think barbaque! mmmmm.... sweet and sour sauce, a couple frosted Heini's and a cherry cheese cake to wash it all down.

and what the fuck are soy nuts? they look and taste like cat litter! believe me, i compared the two! the litter was better!

i'm always dreaming about girl guides ... just for the creamy cookies ... mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm ...

beer.

sigh.

LOL. Sheeeeeit man! How long you gotta stay on the diet? I had to do that a while back. 90 days livin on nothin but fish and rice, no spices. When the time was up, it was Costco steaks and prawns on the barbeque in the middle of fuckin February!

 

[badwolfcgy]

Damn that is one rough diet... die with a T

Watch those cheezies!!

Some of them are downright intimidating!!

Geez man, don't you get a cheat day? Almost any diet I've come across allows for one day a week where the dieter gets to go gang bangers on any food that they like; you need those to keep you sane. At least in my opinion.

Good luck, at any rate.

rest of my pathetic life! cholesterol got more numbers than my bank account! blood pressure higher than US debt! more sugar in system than willie wonka's chocolate factory! my pack of cookies a day habit finally caught up with me!



30 days and I'm already resorting to snorting the cheezie dust out of a couch cushion!

Mon Dieu! You are in a bad way! Stay away from the Twinkies, though, they make you homicidal.

unfortunately, moderation isn't in my vocabulary, and the last 'cheat day' lasted a decade ...


btw: how many calories in DATY?

btw: how many calories in DATY?

I think that counts as 0 points in the Weight Watchers point system (max of 24/day). Eat away!

I'm not saying it doesn't suck, but you can't starve yourself for the rest of your life.

For example, try frying those soy nuts in some olive oil and some garlic and chili powder (no salt). Your doctor must have told you that there are some fats that are actually good for you?

Peanuts, cashews, almonds, macadamia nuts, are all OK if you keep the calories under control.

Buy some of those fries from the grocery store that you can bake and that have no trans fat.

When you get hungry, take a nap or have a big bowl of soup. Most soups, except for the heavy cream ones, are pretty light on calories and fill your stomach because of all the liquid.

Your body should adjust itself to a more normal level after a while, and unless your situation is extreme, you should be able to cheat the odd time. Everything in moderation is usually the golden rule of the dietitians.

Good luck to you.

thanks ... all good advice

i'm not starving, i can eat all the oatmeal i can stomach! no restrictions on how many calories (within reason), but

1. zero alcohol
2. zero sugar (my 'cheat' is the little bit in my coffee)
3. zero bad fat -- I can eat salmon four nights a week, but no 'meats', cheeses or 'hidden' fats
4. zero cookies, cakes, donuts, pasteries, crackers, chips, cheezies, bread, bagels, pasta, etc.
5. very restricted dairy (my other 'cheat' is a bit of creme in my coffee)

the 'diet' is intended to get my LDL way down and/or my HDL way up!

I'm also taking the EFA's supplement, as well as aged garlic and niacin to try to get the cholesterol down ... if not, then it the 'drugs' and they are more brutal than the 'diet'!

I don't smoke, no drugs, you could pretty much say I don't drink. 9 times outta 10 I'd rather have a Pepsi. Now if I could just say sia-nara to the fast food.

Check out niacin. A vitamin B. good for the blood.

Just being nosey, LG...with a diet like this, has anyone talked to you about exercizing to change your metabolic rate? A comprehensive exercize program might help a lot physiologically and would get you away from the temptations of the refridgerator and into the gym/pool with numerous babes [hopefully], providing you with a new set of temptations.

yup, starting exercising again ...

Dude, you need to find substitutions:
1. you could probably do without the beer but the occasional glass of wine isn't gonna kill you.
2. replace w/ Splenda
3. avocados have good fats in 'em. make guacamole. There's also a few veggie burger patties that taste fairly decent. Just watch out for the sodium content
4. organic corn chips to dip in said guacamole
5. Frozen yogurt?

Make a trip to Choices or Whole foods and have a look around at what's available. You'd be surpised at how much decent stuff is out there.

1. any alcohol raises triglycerides so its all a no-go.
2. ick. rather use a little sugar in my java and exercise it off again.
3. okay ... will try one ... usually liked the sour creme that came with it better and that's not on the list!
4. unfortunately, anything i can 'snack' on isn't comeing home with me (I'll go to her place instead!) because I will just eat and eat and eat and that defeats the purpose.
5. frozen yogurt still contains milk fat ... bad, bad, bad.

but thanks for the suggestions.
