I think we have teeth that says we eat meat. (yeah my grammar sucks)
I’m at the age I am heading for ‘the change’ so I am battling weight most all the time now.
I must say the weight-watchers online thing is wonderful! Eat whatever you want just log it and it counts for points. Lose or maintain, it is so simple and perfect.
This opened my eyes as to the chicken-pork difference. I would have thought chicken breast so much better. Not so. A very lean pork is better.
Anyhow, I don’t intend to go vegetarian or pile that on an unwilling family. I like my meat and my family loves and expects my cookin’ that includes meat—nom nom nom. :)
I do admit to less butter and more olive oil and stuff like that. Though, I still use a good ham-bone for beans and salt-pork is still on the charts, too.
Chicken can’t be fried without a whole bunch of oil...ha! And we love us some good Sunday fried chicken! Though none of it is anythang as good as what Granny fried up. :9
My sister tried that vegetarian thang, funny she lost weight and then after ‘bout a year, she started to plump up on it. I eat everything under the sun—still not plumped to the vegetarian sister healthy *whatever*. hahaha!
Yeah, I know. Only about 0.5% of the American population is vegan, so I didn't think I was going to do any mass conversions here :) Just trying to spread a little helpful info. A great book is "The Engine 2 Diet". I recommend that one.
Well, this is because you can be vegan/vegetarian, and still eat a diet full of french fries, coca cola and fruit roll-ups. This is why I am careful to be whole food, plant based excluseivly.
