No, like anything else, everyone's metabolism (and demons) are different. My mother has struggled with weight her entire life, and I have watched her eat like a bird since I was old enough to notice that sort of thing. Just a little over 2 months ago she took the plunge to cut out most carbs and specifically all gluten--and at the same time started allowing herself to eat as much as she wanted of what was left--and she has dropped 20 pounds already.

Lunch (Banana Lady is 65 today)!

Smoked salmon, seasoned potato wedges sauteed in olive oil with rosemary (from the garden) and garlic, salad with viniagarette dressing.

(I added the cucumber deliberately to keep SG at bay

)

you're right, of course, we're all different to some degree or another in our metabolic requirements.

if your ability to process carbs is restricted, then eating just carbs isn't gonna be good for you. course you still won't get fat - you'll just die, which is a bit drastic for losing weight. still, physics and chemistry tell us that, overall, you can't get more energy out of a system than you put into it. to put it another, slightly more extreme way: that's how anorexia works. definitely not advocating eating disorders nor making light of them, but there comes a point where it doesn't matter what you eat if you're not meeting your over metabolic requirements. there's a line between "starvation" and "overfed" that can be met with varying difficulty and that is where, I think, the differences between individuals come into play more than anything.

That being said, woo, I dropped 7 lbs in two weeks, despite that pizza. At 6', I'm now 230 lbs. 200 is my goal.

also for dinner, to keep things relevant? I have no clue. I'm up for suggestions. Lunch was rice with imitation crab, soy sauce, sesame seed and spicy garlic chili sauce.

for dinner tonight i am making greek lamb. i have marinated the lamb for 24 hours in olive oil, oregano. paprika and garlic.

i have roasted that for an hour in foil at 180C.

it is resting now.

later on i will shave the meat off and fry it in olive oil to make it crispy.

we will have that with a huge green salad. the girls have tortillas to wrap the meat and salad i, i have some low carb wraps 3g per wrap for mine.

smells awfully good here at the moment.

Chicken with Blackberry Bourbon Sauce

I found a bag of blackberries in the freezer when I went hunting for the chicken and decided it was time to make use of them. I also added a bit of blackberry jam to the bourbon to make a more saucy sauce. Served over exotic rices (brown, wild, red, and some other kind of hippie rice).

Southwest King Ranch Casserole was last night and today for lunch.

I ended up using Herdez salsa verde instead of tomatillo sauce and I think it worked just fine.

Here is a picture for Sky, but I don't have the recipe on me. You can find it on Amazon if you search for the Whole Foods cookbook then look inside. Search for King Ranch and there it is. It was supposed to be in an 8x8 pan, but I didn't think it would fit. I think next time, I am going to take all the ingredients except the salsa verde and make enchiladas with it. Or maybe try putting it in a loaf pan.

Southwest King Ranch Casserole? I wonder if they have a Northeast King Ranch Csserole, for the King Ranch holdings here in PA?

bbro · 07-22-2010, 11:37 AM

It would probably have pierogies and kielbasa somewhere in it. If you want to get more northeast, maybe crab instead of chicken

Now I want Pierogie lasagna!
