I'm glad to see that not only is fasting being clinically-approved, but being credited for SOME of the good results of a "Mediterranean diet." ;-) Keys wasn't always wrong, but he DID have an oversized ego....tesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04254045589639201707noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7221767529759848946.post-30228114667337148962016-07-02T12:01:38.948-05:002016-07-02T12:01:38.948-05:00I'll repeat my apology for neglecting your com...I'll repeat my apology for neglecting your comment so long! <br /><br />I too cook much less than i used to, and for many of the reasons you state. When J was working out-of-town and i was experimenting in ZC, i clearly saw how much time and thought go into "normal" food-production in the home! It's so much easier to buy good meat, simply-cook good meat and eat it.... Being a hedonist, though, we do a lot more than that nowadays! :-Dtesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04254045589639201707noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7221767529759848946.post-39690773356226772052016-07-02T11:55:34.819-05:002016-07-02T11:55:34.819-05:00Sorry i hadn't replied to this long ago -- it&...Sorry i hadn't replied to this long ago -- it's been a crazy-busy spring, and i'm afraid a lot of things have fallen into the cracks, and i wasn't even aware!<br /><br />:-) Yeah, the people two-doors-down have an old chain-link fence, but it's hard to tell in some spots, because of the plants climbing it!tesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04254045589639201707noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7221767529759848946.post-48826777634256381372016-06-08T03:42:30.167-05:002016-06-08T03:42:30.167-05:00Great point about the inevitable just being what o...Great point about the inevitable just being what one's used to - fasting is on its way back<br />http://whatthefatbook.com/six-facts-on-fasting/Puddleghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00953398103675945541noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7221767529759848946.post-77509552084947508522016-05-19T09:22:54.538-05:002016-05-19T09:22:54.538-05:00J. loves to cook, and it almost always coexists wi...J. loves to cook, and it almost always coexists with obesity in guys. After it came to my mind that a love for cooking is just one of symptoms of a food obsession resulted from a particular metabolic state which leads to a metabolic syndrome in general and obesity as part of that syndrome, I started to find more and more examples which supported such guess. I yet to meet a thin guy who loves to cook, however I am sure such people exist, but they are motivated by something other than an inclination to think about food too much. My husband likes to tinker with substances in a chemical lab, some man may feel about food in the same way.Females could be motivated by a motherly instinct to keep her charges from being hungry. My degeneration as a cook continues as a result of LCarbing because my interest in food keeps falling. I think it is a positive development and one of manifestation of my healing. I look nor fat nor thin, eat everyday, but variety of my menu became very limited. Of course some food obsessed people keep popping in fast-food places, but others make their food - which is actually faster and more convenient.Galina L.https://www.blogger.com/profile/09156132815504279615noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7221767529759848946.post-87196315020644616932016-05-18T21:41:38.860-05:002016-05-18T21:41:38.860-05:00My energy levels are remarkably different dependin...My energy levels are remarkably different depending on what I eat. I've been through a few sugar hangovers lately and that's been a big motivation to get back on track. I was good today and had the energy to finish planting my flowers and spade up a place by the chain link fence to plant some green beans. Might as well turn that bug (a chain link fence in the front yard) into a feature.Lori Millerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02612141535162268390noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7221767529759848946.post-27585155908840162542016-05-18T20:19:15.788-05:002016-05-18T20:19:15.788-05:00He will remember how great it feels.

Also, eating a wrong food after a fast feels totally terrible. We all are guided by sensations.<br />Galina L.https://www.blogger.com/profile/09156132815504279615noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7221767529759848946.post-64416381339634530482016-05-18T19:34:56.467-05:002016-05-18T19:34:56.467-05:00Thank you -- i hope he sticks with it.

He is lucky to have your example.<br />I don't know why the lost of "water weight" is routinely disregarded. It is less to carry around , it at least it feels great - clear head + lighter body.

I have to start with bedding-plants and place them where i think they'll look good, one by one. I SHOULD spend some time on the Farmer's Almanac website -- i think they have some tutorials on garden design.<br /><br />Hope your day is as pretty as it is here!
