Burger King's new Enormous Omelet may be too hefty for its own good - and yours - said New Yorkers weighing in yesterday on the latest fast-food belly buster. "I'm a big dude. I eat a lot. But that looks like a Whopper with bacon and sausage thrown on," said Brooklynite John Butler, 31, at a Fulton St. Burger King. "It's mad big. You're gonna have a coronary on the first bite."

I remember you telling me that years ago... I can't imagine how hard it'd be on your self esteem :( out of scientific curiosity what is your metabolism?

[dread78645]

But Ithink diet is very personal each one of us need to eat what works for us considering indvidual needs.

Without a doubt.

I know I use to stock up on the pasta, Coke, Tums, and Excedrin on my weekly shopping trips. After starting Atkins in '98 I don't buy (or need to buy) any of them anymore.

Just my experience. YMMV

-Is it just me, or is anyone else creeped out by the commercial?-

Oh, yeah. They're doing some very weird stuff with BK commercials now. The first one was the King in bed with his eery, silent plastic mask just staring at his next BK victim. Gave us all the creeps!

I get tested bi-yearly full t-3 and T-4 uptake.

My pituatary gland always reads it wants more thyroid so I come in over all just under normal with the sythetic replacement.

Mentally I am still hyper and can stay awake for days if need be but muscles burn and wieght is beyond rediculous.

My mammory glands hurt for weeks at a time and they grow in mass yearly. Always have to do my mamo twice since the mass is to thick the radioligist asks for a re do. It sucks. Legs and arms are thin so I look like a Foster Farm Chicken.
Not to mention the bone lose due to the sythroid eating 'em up.

BUT it is better than being DEAD had I not had the thyroid removed. My eyes still bulge never went back to normal.

I don't take anything for tummy anymore either veggies, fish and New York steaks. Two Years.

Been soda free and more water for over six months now.

However I do eat what I want once a week at the local Steak house including soda with my meal.

No processed food is the biggie and if I do buy pre made tomato paste or such I don't buy anything with the word SPices in the ing. list.

Rare occasions I use Mylanta associated with my fall/winter urge for spaghetti.

And I have to eat at normal intervals no more of this 12hr no food stuff.

Have you all ever read "The Schwarzbein Principle"?

BTW my self esteem is not invested in my vanity but my work and single for life so that doesn't come up.

I dress so as not to be offensive to the public and with taste. Ulla Popkin gets alot of my business.
It is the health issues that concern me the most.

My friend's wife is from Thailand.....oh boy can she
cook!!!!! She uses a lot of cilantro,basil and lime and some hot hot chili peppers....When I'm invited over for dinner I make sure I starve myself so I can continue to clean my plate, have seconds and then that delish rice in bananna leaf with coconut milk dessert!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[hchutch]

But that new thing from BK looks awfully tasty...

[kaktuskid]

The entire recent Burger King commercial blitz is offensive, brash, rude, and tasteless. Nonstop T and A, idiotic jingles. It's scary, and they don't seem to be selling food.

Hey, the guy from Hootie & The Blowfish needs a job too!

[SoothingDave]

Have you all ever read "The Schwarzbein Principle"?

Is that the new Tom Clancy thriller?

I used to go there from time to time, but their awful french fries drove me away. And now, these commercials, yeesh...

I believe Diet Rite Cola uses Sucralose, not asparatine as a sweetner.

[agrace]

Ping to post 11.

[AntiGuv]

Really? Sucralose is fairly new so that must be fairly new too. Huge thanks for the tip!

Well I've told the story here a hundred times so I won't bore everybody again with the details. But I had a life-changing event in 2003 (the development of Type II diabetes) that woke me up and made me stop eating junk and start exercising.

On April 1, 2003, I decided that I would no longer eat foods containing high fructose corn syrup or hydrogenated vegetable oils and eat mainly whole, natural foods. This pretty much elimates ALL prepackaged supermarket foods by the way. I also began to wear a pedometer so that I could walk a minimum of 10,000 steps every day (roughly 5 miles).

Long story short, I stuck to the plan and lost over 100 pounds. More importantly, all traces of Type II diabetes was eliminated from my system. The doctor was stunned.

I am coming up on my two-year anniverary and I still feel great. Eating natural foods and walking at least two hours a day (at a brisk pace). That's the magic bullet.

I am convinced that HFCS and hydrogenated vegetable oils are very bad for the human body.
