Today is national tequila day as well as Amelia Earhart day. What are you sipping on today? I'm not sure why she chose the name, but there is apparently a Japanese porn star who goes by the name Amelia Earhart. If anyone would like to research the topic and report back, be my guest. There's no physical prize, but you'll feel satisfied knowing you did a good job. Spoiler Get freaky cause it's Friday! Happy weekend you idiots.
I am going vaginatarian after my birthday to lose some weight. Any suggestions for good recipes? What's the last meat you would eat before giving it up?
Vaginas and vegetables. Preferably the former Kicked off with a 5 meat sampler with spectacular sausage and pretty decent pulled pork for Maryland. Come at me gay jokes, it was worth the meat sweats.
in a piping hot skillet, a handful of spinach, mushrooms, and a few cloves of garlic. Saute it for a bit, then sprinkle on some salt and and pepper to taste. Once the spinach cooks down, but isn't wrinkly, and the mushrooms soften but aren't limp, pour yourself a big glass of wine, take the skillet, and dump that shit in the trash. Then toss a t-bone in the now empty skillet and cook that shit up right. Because you're a man and clearly you need to find your balls again.
Meat isn't making you fat. Removing potatoes, bread, cheese, and sugary or alcoholic drinks from your diet would make a much bigger difference. The reason America is fat is because every meal comes with a side of 1000 calories of potatoes/pasta/rice.
Can confirm. Dropped 25 lbs in first 6 weeks of removing alcohol from my diet. Results not typical, and also, I was drinking a SHITLOAD of beer. As soon as I replaced it with non-alcoholic beer, I also removed soda from my diet just out of a lack of craving it anymore. I think it was the alcohol spiking the blood sugar, which would then drop, and I'd subconsciously drink soda to level it out. Took like 2-3 months before I realized I hadn't had a soda in forever.
Word. Also: Soda and cereal. Cut those two things out of your life forever and you’ll be using fresh belt notches in weeks.
Potatoes aren't that calorie dense, just most people do mash and mix with with a pound of butter which is what makes it bad.
And while we are on this topic, fuck it sucks that pretty much everything has sugar added to it, weather it needs it or not.
I’m down 80 pounds. The only thing I eat is meat, non starchy veggies and cheese. I also haven’t had anything resembling a cheat meal in the last year. It requires pretty strict adherence.
It does at least get easier over time, though. I find sticking to something is easy once you don’t miss it any more. It’s like when you go to the gym the first few times you just hate it, but then it gets so routine you start not just feeling better in health, but better because you’re proud of yourself. Sugar is a drug where the less is in you, the less you want it. But it IS a drug, a destructive one. I sure wish more people would start calling it that.
I have to read labels and buy specific products to avoid extraneous sugar or high fructose corn syrup. Usually those products are labeled as ''natural''. I buy ''natural'' ketchup and jelly among other things. @downndirty I've made some pretty tasty chickpea korma in the past that is vegetarian. It's an Indian type curry with coconut milk. Serve it over cauliflower rice for that extra something something.
@dixiebandit69 how are y'all holding up down there now that the bitch Hanna has a hard on for your part of the state? I'm watching the weather channel and she's looking mighty pissed right now
Damn. It must suck to have a crappy metabolism. I can still wear my baseball pants from 15 years old. I'm 57 now and I've spent the intervening 42 years eating and drinking whatever I felt like. I'm not quite as muscular as I was when I was bucking hay and rowing my boat every day, but I'm still the same size. Yay my genetics.
Not a drop yet. Thanks for the concern, 'Nerds. I don't expect much except some mud at my shop. That's how storms/ hurricanes are in this are: they always miss us in the RGV.
I wouldn't count on it missing the valley this time. Originally it looked like it was supposed to hit around Corpus but now it just keeps turning yalls direction. I hope it goes more north because we desperately need the rain, but I wouldn't be shocked if the hill country didn't get a drop now.
