Last Night

Me: What's the pile of jeans doing on your floor?

Smackl: I think they're too small or sumptin.

Me: I want you to try each one of those on and make sure.

This morning

Me: Did you try on any of those jeans?

Smakl: Yeah, most of them don't fit and these were really hard to get all the way on.

Me (after noticing that the jeans fit perfectly): Were you just pulling them on without undoing the button?

Smackl: Yeah

Me: You know that most people actually put on their jeans before they button them.

Smackl (annoyed)

Me: You need to try on all those jeans again with the buttons and zippers undone before you put them on.

Smackl (annoyed and eyes rolling)

GAH!!!! BOYS!!!!

:o

OMG ! Poor Elsie, vomiting up furry parts! And Charles, does he look bemused while he watches, or just disgusted? How are they getting along? I LOVE THEM :wub:

What's with the kid that can't get his pants on, the dog that eats his buddies animal friens, the wierd card, A NEW AND SOON GRANDCHILDS, and boobs, boobs, and more boobs? What's with all that?

just a regular day in the 'ville, Slooz ;)

In the process of drinking a mango Kombucha tea--anyone else drink these? Is there a brand that tastes less like ass than others?

she said TASTES LIKE ASS :lol: :lol:

Um......what is this tea? is it a weight-loss tea? if it's so terrible, why do you drink it?

cause I will do just about ANYTHING at this point to get 10 VERY STUBBORN pounds off :(

can I take some diet drugs? something illegal? I don't care :lol: Will it make me hyper, like Padt's caffeine buzz? :lol: I don't care about that, either

Tired

I'll tell you what.......eliminating absolutely ALL sugar is guaranteed weight loss, but oh so hard. Not so bad the second time around, though. I find absolute joy in things like brussel sprouts cooked in lots of butter, or....be still my heart...... sweet potato fries! :P

BTW.....took me 3 days to find a thingy for my sig. Haven't seen any Dingos.

Edit: HARRUMPH!!!! It didn't work! :angry:

OMG Leesua--this is SO true!! Since I'm off the sugar and grains, my clothes are getting loose......I found that after the first week or so it got easier and my cravings went away. The first week was hard though--I had headaches and didn't sleep well.

Love fresh brussels sprouts with butter and crumbled crispy bacon (done in microwave to catch all the excess grease.) Never liked the frozen ones--fresh are so much better--and easy.

I love the way I eat now--if I'm hungry, I eat something. :D Just not grains or sugar B) or legumes :P

No beans, either? I eat beans but no peas, corn, or carrots. In Houston,when I was spending all day every day at hospitals, I ate tons of nuts (no peanuts) between meals and still lost weight.

I can't eat beans/legumes--they make me really sick. I do eat nuts (walnuts and almonds) for snacks. I don't do peas (legume) or corn (grain) but I do eat carrots maybe once a week or so. Those are about as starchy as I get, though.

Patteigh.......go back up to the top of the page before this one. Rachelle got her coffee drinker emoticon working! :lol:

It does feel good eating this way, but I'm gonna miss lasagna and barbeque sauce :(

Sweet potatoes are my one cheat....and only occassionally.....maybe once or twice a month ;)

I miss BBQ sauce, too. I get my pasta fix by using spaghetti squash. Also, I do a low carb pizza using shredded zucchini as the "crust"--it's really good (Mark loves it)

I've been wanting to try making zucchini "spaghetti" using long ribbon thin slices. I'm sure that would work for a mock lasagna.

Drastic-but my hubbie decided to go raw-cold turkey. He's lost 60# in less than 2 months. I did it for the first few weeks with him and I lost 8, not too bad, but it's super hard!

The kombucha is a fermented tea with some added puree or juice to mask the ass-like flavor. It smells like a septic tank. It's full of a billion bacteria, majah probiotics. Supposed to promote weight loss, good digestion, good hair and skin, get rid of cancer-blah, blah, blah. Think I will switch to Swoozle Stick's chocolate moo diet!!

and NO I don't have cancer!!!

No beans, either? I eat beans but no peas, corn, or carrots.

Realized later that it probably wasn't clear that I was asking about green beans. I do eat other beans, too. Probably shouldn't, to do the diet right, but they don't seem to bother me.

I do need ideas for more variety, cuz I don't like to fix anything that takes too much effort. I am a lazy cook :rolleyes:

I'm really hungry all the time now, too. <_<

When you get rid off all the grains and sugars, your eating more meat and veggies. I don't get as hungry or crave things nearly as much.

I use half and half in my tea (and coffee now, too :P ), but no sugar. I always used to use sugar, but as for how to quit it, I just one day stopped using it. I went cold turkey on the sugar and flour. Makes for a dicey few days, but I'm not kidding, at the end of the first week the cravings go away. I didn't think it was possible either ;)

The kicker is that you don't feel hungry all the time--when you're eating a lot of carbs (especially the sweet things like baked goods and sugar) you do feel hungry because it's a vicious cycle.

So very happy and excited fer you and Jim!!!! :D

Yep--a sure sign of fall up there. I miss the October geese honkin' :rolleyes:

When you get rid off all the grains and sugars, your eating more meat and veggies. I don't get as hungry or crave things nearly as much.

This--plus, I eat more fat (good fat) in the form of nuts, some butter, some dairy, and olive oil. These things make you feel satisfied longer, plus do not spike your blood sugar or cause an insulin rush. Insulin is what is responsible for storing fat--sugar is the enemy here, not dietary fats ;)

Leesiugha--I can't do green beans either :angry: I would eat them if I could, but all legumes cause a reaction for me that is even worse than gluten. My digestion seems to work so much better and more comfortably without the starch.

jerseyangel Proficient

And....note to self--do not drink coffee after say, noon! :lol: I was awake last night until after 2AM, awake again at 4:10 and then was able to actually sleep till 8. <yawn>

Tried that Kombucha Tea years ago. It looked horrible, It smelled rotten, and it tasted worse. Drank it for about a week -decided I'd rather be dead!

What a good, dreary Ohio day.

Judy sold her house! the nightmare is over. Congrats!

Mandy and John gots swimmers! Congrats to youse two's! Soon to be 3...or 4?

Don't drink coffee after 9 am -otherwise get wired and am tempted to clean sumptin. Shudder!

Going to go make some wine mushroom sauce for tonights salmon. Later.

Sloozy

ps -My John (I call him Jon for short) can't even float. Thank God!

      @catnapt,  I apologize.  Obviously I've confused you with someone else.  I have vision problems due to undiagnosed Celiac complications.  Being legally blind, y'all look the same from here.   You still have not said which new medication you started taking.  Parathyroid disorders can affect antibody production.  Bone Loss Correlated with Parathyroid Hormone Levels in Adult Celiac Patients https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/36619734/ Effect of vitamin B1 supplementation on bone turnover markers in adults: an exploratory single-arm pilot study https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC12075007/

      during the gluten challenge I did not consume any wheat germ   the wheat germ is TOASTED - it's the only way it is sold now afiak doesn't matter I consume vast amounts of lectin containing foods PROPERLY prepared and have for well over a decade. They do not bother me in the least.    no anemia however the endo who ordered the celiac panel is the one who suggested the 2 week gluten challenge of eating at least 2 slices of bread per day or a serving of pasta- ALSO put me on a new drug at the same time (not a good idea)  I ate 4 slices because they were thin, or 2 English muffins, and just once some lasagna that someone else made since I stopped eating wheat pasta years ago. The English muffins caused some of the worst symptoms but that pc of lasagna almost killed me ( not literally but the pain was extreme) during those 12 days there were at least 3 times I considered going to Urgent Care.   This entire process was a waste of time TBH due to being on that new drug at the exact same time. it is impossible to tell if the drug I am taking for the possible renal calcium leak is working or not- given the dramatic response to the gluten challenge and resulting nausea (no vomiting) and eventually a loss of appetite and lower intake of foods so now I have a dangerously low potassium level   I don't have a simple case of celiac or no- I have an extremely complicated case with multiple variables I am seeing an endocrinologist for a problem with the calcium sensing glands - that system is very complicated and she has been unable to give me a firm diagnosis after many tests with confusing and often alarming results. She also appears to be inexperienced and unsure of herself. but I don't have the luxury of finding a new endo due to multiple issues of insurance, lack of drs in my area, money and transportation. so I'm stuck with her At least she hasn't given up    in any case I can assure you that lectins are not and never were the problem. I know they are a favorite villain in some circles to point to, but I have ZERO symptoms from my NORMAL diet which DOES NOT contain gluten. The longer I went without bread or foods with wheat like raisin bran cereal, the better I have felt. my body had been telling me for several years that wheat was the problem- or maybe specifically gluten, that remains to be seen- and stopping eating it was the best thing I could have done   I almost had unnecessary MAJOR SURGERY due to joint pain that I ONLY have if I am eating bread or related products I assumed it was the refined grains - never really suspected gluten but it does not matter I won't put that poison in my body ever again not that it is literally poison but it is def toxic to me        
    • knitty kitty
      @catnapt,  I'm sorry you're having such a rough time.   How much wheat germ and how much gluten were you eating? Lectins in beans can be broken down by pressure cooking them.  Do you pressure cook your beans?  Were you pressure cooking your wheat germ? What drugs are you taking?  Some immunosuppressive drugs affect IgA production.  Do you have anemia?
    • catnapt
      oops my gluten challenge was only 12 days It started Jan 21s and ended Feb 1st   worst 12 days of my life   Does not help that I also started on a thiazide-like drug for rule in/out renal calcium leak at the exact same time No clue if that could have been symptoms worse 🤔

      Welcome to the forum @Known1, What reaction were you expecting? Pipingrock.com High Potency Vitamin D3, 2000 IU, 250 Quick Release Softgels $6.89 I've have been taking the 10,000 IU for close to 10 years. When I started with vitamin D I worked my way up to 10000 over several weeks.  Even at 8000 I felt no noticeable difference.  Then after a few days at 10000 it hit Whoa, sunshine in a bottle.  celiac disease causes malabsorption of dietary D and you've poor UV access.  It took me from 2015 to 2019 to get my 25(OH)D just to 47 ng/ml.  Another two years to get to 80.  70 to 100 ng/ml seems to be the body's natural upper homeostasis  based on lifeguard studies.  Dr. Holick has observed the average lifeguard population usually has a vitamin D 3 level of around 100 ng/ml. Could it be that our normal range is too low given the fact that ¾ or more of the American population is vitamin D deficient? Your Calcium will increase with the vitamin D so don't supplement calcium unless you really need it.  Monitor with PTH  and 25(OH)D tests. Because of your Marsh 3 damage you need to ingest way more than the RDA of any supplement to undo your specific deficiencies. I believe you are in the goiter belt.  Unless you have reason not to, I recommend pipingrock's Liquid Iodine for price and quality.  The RDA is 150 to 1100 mcg.  In Japan the safe upper level is set at 3000 mcg.  Start with one drop 50 mcg to test for adverse response and build up.  I found 600 mcg (12 drops) a day is helping repair my body.  Iodine is necessary to healing.  90% of daily iodine intake is excreted in urine.  A Urine Iodine Concentration (UIC) can tell how much Iodine you got that day.  The thyroid TSH test will not show iodine deficiency unless it is really bad.
