Are the cis okay?
She thinks zucchini is an acceptable sub for pasta, and cauliflower is a replacement for mashed potatoes. Last time I had dinner with her, I went home and ate some more, because she didn't serve any starch.
Re: Gear Grinding 6: I'm So Over This.
Having done both, I'm not sure what you beef is- why is it bad to use a veggie substitute? I get the thought of not listening to their rants, but I don't see why it's a bad thing to use spaghetti squash instead of spaghetti nor roasted cauliflower for potatoes, if one chooses to. They both taste quite good.
Pasta on it's own has no flavor, neither do potatoes- it's all how they are prepared.
We did atkins for quite a few years, and it works really, really well. Brought me back from the brink of TII diabetes.

Spaghetti with squash instead of noodles is ****ing disgusting. We tried it once, and will never do it again. Think we had about 4 bites and dumped the rest since it was one of the worst meals I've ever tasted.

I gotta agree. Spaghetti squash is awful.
Re: Gear Grinding 6: I'm So Over This.
So don't eat it. But why tell someone else they should not?

Pretty sure the issue at hand here is the carb Nazi that told Bob that potatoes and pasta are killing him, or something. Which is far sillier than simply making an effort to cut back on carbohydrates.

Anything to push the agenda. Ever see how far the anti-smoking crowd goes?

Re: Gear Grinding 6: I'm So Over This.
That may be the issue, but does it mean you can rag back onto them, suggesting that their food isn't real food???
That's what I question. Especially when there's noting wrong (except taste, if cooking is a challenge) with the substitutes. They are just additional veggies.

Its not saying don't eat it. Its saying recalibrate your taste buds, because they done be ****ed up.

Re: Gear Grinding 6: I'm So Over This.
In December 2003, I weighed 396 lbs, wore a 3XL shirt, size 54 pants, and had trouble climbing the two flights of stairs to my dorm at NMU without huffing and puffing. In January 2004, I decided that was enough, so I had to make some changes. Since that time, I've been getting it on ALL sides, calling me "unhealthy" and that "you eat poison" just because I occasionally enjoy a muffin from the corner coffee shop. In fact, here are some of the charges leveled at me:
"You're unhealthy because you don't eat organic."
"You're gonna get cancer because you don't eat Paleo/organic/whatever"
"Gluten is killing you."
"Dairy, legumes, and sugar are killing you."
"You shouldn't run marathons/endurance events because that's not natural"- to this I say, and I suppose sitting there, staring into a glowing plastic box IS natural?
I've had enough.

You could just shrug them off and ignore them. Let people talk, just smile and nod and you're done. I've received a lot of that talk too.
BTW, my response to the organic crowd is almost always, "I've been eating carbon-based food all my life."

Re: Gear Grinding 6: I'm So Over This.
My thoughts (and Bob you may feel free to ignore):
- I don't mind mashed cauliflower for mashed potatoes now and then
- I'll do spaghetti squash once in a while, but not like mashed cauliflower
- I do feel it if I eat "white carbs" (pasta, white bread, potatoes); I get tired and sluggish
What I also notice is since I went to diet Dew from regular I can taste the sugars in things like crackers (more white carbs).
But the biggest things I've learning driving this body around: drink more water and move around more than you think you need to. <-- Admittedly both of those are hard to do.

I have an active job and go through about 2-3 liters of water a day. Rarely drink pop. Iced tea is my beverage of choice.

Honestly, that's my target for an average day. Put me outside working or playing in the summer and I'll pour in two liters of water to prime the pump.

Water intake for a person who works a desk job, and is not partaking in heavy exercise, is to take their body weight in pounds, cut it in half, and drink that in fluid ounces. I'm drinking about a gallon of water or water-like substances every day.

Or, just remove himself from people that are as stupid as to think and say those things. Bob, you don't need those people around to give you **** about stuff like that.
