DBLXX Posted May 22, 2022 Share Posted May 22, 2022 I haven’t had red meat since my Heart Attack (steak, burgers, hot dogs) and I’ve made the decision to completely cut out desserts, sugar, sweets, and any type of sugary food this past Saturday. I had a bowl of ice cream Friday night and it just instantly makes me feel like crap. For me - it’s all or nothing - so I’m choosing nothing.

Once you get clean, even a little junk feels obviously terrible. Last week Moriah decided to eat some local sodium/grease bomb food and I said fuck it and joined her. Ugh, bloated, tired, and my joints hurt the next day. This all feels "normal" when you eat the usual shit every day. Last night's "dessert" was some frozen berry/tropical mix in the bender with coconut-based milk substitute, small bit of honey, pile of inulin (which is not only a sweet buffer it's just pure fiber).

I have something sweet once a while-instantly feeling like crap. Some with any kind of fast food. Once every 4-8 weeks, and it just part of a "meal", never complete meal. Same result. Instantly feeling like crap. For about 4-6 hrs. Can't imagine what entire whopper meal with fries and soda would do to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SwampNut Posted May 28, 2022 Share Posted May 28, 2022 On the desert list, we have various fruit bowl and smoothing options. I think I'll do a post just about smoothies. They can be a meal, or a great dessert that is still real food. It's also a convenient way to up your inulin and other fiber intake. The inulin provides sweetening and thickening, win-win.

SwampNut Posted May 28, 2022 Share Posted May 28, 2022 The power of suggestion. Had to make one. Frozen tropical fruit blend Three big strawberries One celery Vanilla almond milk A few ice cubes Dash of turmeric and cayenne For a good meal shake, natural pure peanut butter, banana, and vanilla/cocoa/etc. Add berries and it's a PB&J drink.

raddragn Posted January 8, 2023 Share Posted January 8, 2023 I'm an incorrigible sweets addict. I cannot have it around the house or I will eat it. I get some periodically then have to refrain from buying any more for several weeks. It's been a lifelong problem LOL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
