- Fasting Blood Glucose: 117 mg/dl. Okay, but probably should not have had some ice cream and the hot fudge sauce the Charming Mrs. SWMBO made as a gift. It was good, though.
- Weight: 187 lbs.
- Exercise: 45 minuted ride and a good one, too. It's warm and humid out there and I loved the sweat. Make me feel virtuous or something.
- Mood: 7.5.
- Breakfast: Banana, grapefruit, oatmeal with craisins.
- Lunch: Company Christmas Party. Pigged out, lots of beef and chicken fajitas. Only two tiny little deserts late in the afternoon.
- Dinner: Not hungry after a large lunch.
- Snacks: Apple.
Also, ten of the best to substitute for the ten worst, all from popular fast food sandwich places. Why do so many of the worst have bacon in them?
Fat not to bad?
Maybe. Some now argue the link between heart disease and dietary cholesterol and fat has not been proven. What's more the culprit may be refined wheat flour, potatoes, white rice, sugary drinks and snacks. I don't think anyone is going to argue against that, mostly. This stuff is made into an endless variety tasty things to eat, it's cheap, it's plentiful and it's available everywhere. (Well, maybe. There is the Twinkie Diet out there.) These are also the foods credited for the growing diabetes problem and there is a strong correlation between diabetes and heart disease.
I still think potatoes get an unfair rap. I also think it is all about the quantity we eat. It's just too easy to buy and consume the bad foods. It's just too easy to fill up on this stuff and so many do that. Cut that out and anyone will lose weight. The paleo diet also gets a nod in this piece. I bet this view will change in the next few years to something else. I think it ultimately comes down to quantity. Eat too much of anything and you get fat.
