Meh. I prefer the damned-if-you-do-damned-if-you-don't diet. Just eat what you like, but in moderation. Everything in moderation, especially moderation.

the next warning

Well, that didn't take very long, did it?

Permit me to recommend the hunter/gatherer diet-if you can't hunt it or gather it , don't eat it.

Oh yes, well you know what

Oh yes, well you know what they call Corned beef in the UK, Salt Beef. It is salt cured! I am the trivia food queen!

But it is weird once you get away from that kind of stuff how it becomes so much easier to taste it, especially salt. I guess that is why one must wash their corned beef down with a good Guinness.

I can't believe how salty it

I can't believe how salty it tastes. We've been using less salt, too.

Sugar ?

As a rule, artificial sweeteners mess with your insulin levels, because your body is expecting sugar, but doesn't get it. Paradoxically, this often leads to weight gain. I don't know if Truvia has the same issue, but I'd expect it, for the same reasons.

Donal, great post! More than two years ago, we quit drinking stuff with high-fructose corn syrup. I've never been a big girl anyway, but one of the results was losing 7 pounds without changing anything else I do. We drink much more water at home now, and I squeeze our juices, whether it is orange juice or grapefruit juice, although I didn't buy a LaLanne juicer to make apple juice too. Occasionally you might catch me making fresh peach lemonade, obviously during the summer, or raspberry lemonade.

But the water thing has been good for us all, and a few gallons of organic milk a week, I know in the long run we will all be healthier. Really great post!

I am so riding my bike today Donal... It is cold out there, but I am riding anyway.

TGLD hehehehehe

PS Happy St. Paddy's Day, how did the corned beef turn out?

I haven't watched the entire video yet, but this is worth our keeping it going. The obesity problem can't be ignored, and there are no simple cures, but the evidence against HFCS can't be ignored, either.

But why diet sodas? I don't drink much soda, but I try to stay as sugar-free as possible and since I do have a sweet tooth that means sugar substitutes. I use Splenda and Truvia when I can, but I suppose the next warning will be against them.
