What with the lard-a$$es in the US becoming the norm, everyone says I look way too thin.

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

I recently watched "Reefer Madness" on TV the thing that struck me first was how thin all the actors were. I told my wife they all looked like the people I grew up with in the fifties and sixties. I had a belly that would hardly be noticeable now when I was a teenager and I went on a strict program to rid myself of it. By the time I joined the Navy I was six three and one half inches tall and weighed a whopping 169 pounds. I sure would like to drop back to 210 again.

But us southerners, we're too smart for 'em, because we always make our cornbread from scratch -- with only pure cornmeal. We don't never use none of that Betty Crocker or Duncan Hines pre-mixed stuff that's got wheat flour in it.

Have any good recipes? I can't convince my wife that cornbread is supposed to taste like corn and not cake.

What would be your ideal menu within your set limits; do you find it tasty and desirable?

Ten years ago I was teetering at 204 lbs. Even though I was speedskating 3 days a week, the weight was going nowhere. I picked up "The Zone" by Barry Sears and let my body fat percentage dictate my portions. That was June 1996. By November '96 I was at 187. In April '97 I was down to 174. In June '97 I was down to 162. That was as low as I could go skating 100 miles a week. In May '98 I returned to my current job and the time demands made it impossible to keep up the required level of exercise. It's a battle that has to be maintained.

The menu plans offered in Atkins and Sears' Zone books give some good examples. Obviously you need to tailor the choices to your own tastes. My favorite protein sources are grilled beef, grilled chicken, small curd cottage cheese and albacore tuna in spring water. Protein at breakfast is usually scrambled eggs or cottage cheese or a protein shake from the store shelves. The protein element is often the most difficult choice.

I usually work right through lunch, so a "Zone" bar and a diet Mountain Dew fills that slot without breaking the work flow. Dinner is the only meal where my wife and I both have time off. She works graveyard shifts, I work typically from 9 AM to 3 AM with a couple brief breaks for food. Recently I've been having dinner at Applebee's. The grilled chicked/walnut/apple salad with a glass of iced tea fits nicely.

The ideal menu is really a matter of personal tastes. I recommend setting portions by body weight per Sears. I also spent a little time in Peter D'Adamo's "Blood type" diet books. D'Adamo's recommendations my be helpful in a qualitative way. He has food lists of "recommended", "neutral", and "avoid" based on observed food sensitivities. You can easily fashion a menu around "recommended" and "neutral" items in appropriate portions. Most fitness books admit that achieving the desired levels of leanness and muscularity are 85% diet, 15% exercise. I've found that to be the case. The Atkins diet coupled with 30 minutes of exercise 3 times a week was every bit as effective as the Zone plus 100 miles of skating each week.

Health food stores. If you have Kroger's, they carry glutedn in their health food section.

Thanks.. Silly me. I was looking for it in the baking needs section.

My son has frequently stated that, if given a choice between a cure for diabetes or a cure for Celiac disease, he'd choose the Celiac disease. From his view, diabetes just means a small adjustment with every meal and Celiac disease means loosing out on many of the best things in life.

Sadly, I have *yet* found a good gluten-free pie crust recipe. He hasn't had a slice of pie in almost 4 years.

With my son, gluten intolerance expressed with vit B6 deficiency, bloody diarrhea and a migraine that didn't let up for years. As a matter of fact, that was how we discovered it. Just by luck we were referred to a neurologist for the headaches and he figured it out. "First we look at the blood, *then* we look at the brain!"

Here we go again.... Last time it was carbs, now it's "wheat = fascism".

Sorry, but it's not that simple. Celiacs, people with wheat allergies, and those with gluten intolerance are identified with blood tests and colonoscopies. It really is real.

That's a pretty severe consequence. I hope the diagnosis and corrective action solved his problem.

There are three levels of tests for Celiac Disease. The first level is genetic to see if you have the right genes. Approximately 1/3 of the population have the genetic make-up; however, there has to be a trigger, which isn't fully understood yet. Second, there is a blood test that shows the presence of specific antibodies; Celic Disease is an autoimmune disorder. The final step is biopsy of the small intestine, which occurs via endoscopy. That's how a GI doc will confirm the diagnosis.

Sorry 'bout that! It was almost 4AM and I hit the wrong person. No harm intended! :-)
