Do you become vegetarian overnight or taper off ????? James

[Guest guest]

Congrats on your weight loss. You will find all types

of recipes posted here. Vegetarian, vegan, some

contain liquor, high calorie, low calorie. We aren't

a diet group so all are accepted. I'm one of the

biggest offenders of butter, salt and sugar contents

in my baked goods. I think moderation is the key. I'd

rather have a slice of a good sweet bread than 4

slices of a low fat or fat free loaf of cardboard.

That's just my opnion though. Whatever works.

I agree, moderation is the key. I am a junkie for ice cream and pizza!

But I write down every one of those yummy calories!! And the total at

the end of the day is what counts!!

thnx!

We eat so many good things I think we deserve the occasional sweet or greasy

treat. I had some no-egg cookie dough the other day. I had eaten some steamed

carrots or something earlier, so I'd done a good deed and I deserved the reward.

Pile on the sugar, gimme some butter, just not all the time. Make the good

things good. Then eat healthy food the rest of the time.

 

Kadee Sedtal, who as you might guess, needs to lose a few pounds.

 

 

 

 

Get on board. You're invited to try the new Mail.

Thankfully, " good " (in the sense of tasting) and

" healthy " need not be orthogonal adjectives.
