Well<br />I start in, "Karen and Al are doing this, Sherry says this and try that, that bar cookie recipe, the tofu crumbles, on and on ..." She said who in the world are these people ??? So I chime in, the healthy folks on the RV blogs who have turned the corner !!!!!!! Now Sparky you and Eldy come along with some thoughts on turning the corner..... All I can say, They sure have us thinking, Forks over Knives here we come....

I like fish, and I like meat once in a while. I think everyone needs a good balance in their diets, including fats (and including animal fats, although not in large quantities). The food and diet industries are not to be trusted as the "Word" on anything - they just want to sell you their products.<br /><br />In the long run you can't beat fresh, organic foods and stay away from packaged mixes, helpers, sides, etc. I personally stay away from restaurants, and you couldn't pay me to eat from a buffet. Numerous tests have showed that nearly all buffets have some contamination of the foods with traces of urine - meaning people who handle it go to the bathroom and don't wash their hands! This happens in the best restaurants as well as any others.Gypsyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18052445200220681513noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8625049441358125186.post-13049963959653668442012-08-18T12:18:50.609-04:002012-08-18T12:18:50.609-04:00I been often wonder who decides what is healthy an...I been often wonder who decides what is healthy and what ain't. For me a big ol' T-bone steak with bout a inch of fat on it an' a baked tater drenched in butter is bout as good you can get. I also don't believe smok'n is the only cause of death. Shoot, I knowed people what never smoke their whole life just up and die. Had a close "veggie" guy died not long ago. Who decides???

Unless yo...Baby steps is definitely the right way. Unless you can like what you eat, you won't keep doing it. Karen beat me to all the good suggestions. Try pretzels instead of chips with your sandwich. Pretzels have no fat, no cholesterol and 120 calories per 15. Now that's Snyder's sourdough nibblers. Problem here is 200 mg of sodium. But if you don't add salt to your other food then doesn't seem a problem to me.<br /><br />There really are lots of great green veggies and that's the one change I would really encourage. They are easy in the microwave or just eat them raw. Be careful of your salad dressing if that's the way you eat them. Lots of folks think they are eating really healthy and will slim down eating only salads but then they pour on the fatty dressings. Karen's also right, watch Forks Over Knives and see what you think.<br /><br />Sadly, American chinese isn't really what the folks in China eat. It's what Americans want to eat. Deep fried, fried fried and fried in butter. LOL<br /><br />Don't forget that even Vegans allow themselves 'treats'. How do you think I do that ice cream?? I love it even though it doesn't love me. I can tell the difference in how I feel for sure based on what I've eaten. Most people don't eat really well for long enough to discover the difference. Wishing you really good luck!!<br />Sherryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00328866430156879312noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8625049441358125186.post-19085058218339499722012-08-18T07:09:30.189-04:002012-08-18T07:09:30.189-04:00Every little bit helpsEvery little bit helpsCatherine, Jo Beth and Gracehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06889362286725037937noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8625049441358125186.post-61107690425831747992012-08-18T06:46:43.330-04:002012-08-18T06:46:43.330-04:00Lol...baby steps is the right way or you might jus...Lol...baby steps is the right way or you might just jump off the wagon faster.

I think they may have lower fat than the veggie chips? <br /><br />Did you ever watch Forks over Knives?
