Scott F. posted a topic in General Health and Wellness Discussion

Sort of a funny but very real at the same time. I posted earlier about using the protein drinks for the extra protein and found that they also boosted my hunger quite a bit. I have used that extra appetite to get in some more fat and protein a couple times per week. Maybe turning what could be a negative into a positive. At first, I called it my affirmation that sugar can drive/signal hunger. I only used a little sugar but I think my body used it to signal for more which leads me to tonight's funny (very real but funny) I have not had cravings since I started (got lucky) and I stepped away from carbs and sugars with relative ease (and I ate them by the buckets to get to well over 300lbs). Never had a craving as I walked thru the aisles at the grocery stores, even at the end caps that are designed to grab your attention. Zero cravings. This afternoon it was over 100F when I got in the truck and night shift in the plant will not get below 100F til the early morning hours. I bought ice cream for my shift as a small gesture as they are performing well in this heat. I walked by the freezer earlier and I now totally confused, as: A: I have a sugar addiction I didn't see or realize, and the recent re-introduction has created this craving for that ice cream in the freezer, or... B: I am so cheap it is killing me to know I paid $60 for ice cream and not eating any of it. Things I ponder on night shift. Scott

The medical degree from the Youtube College of Medicine comes in handy. You can also get a doctorate from Google. In you spare time youtube can help put a starter on your car and change the heating element in your dryer. Youtube educational opportunities are endless. LOL Somedays I think back and wonder how we ever survived without the internet. Scott

Since you have chef in your name I will babble on with a funny from 30+ years ago. I live in the south and 'southern food' is a staple and in our area Soul Food crosses a lot of boundaries. I worked in a pharmaceutical company with its own cafeteria, and it was an awesome cafeteria. It was subsidized and anyone would be hard pressed to eat $2.00 worth of eggs/bacon/sausage/omelets to order. Great food. Greater prices. Lunches were a variety of fried foods from fish to chicken to grilled steaks/burgers and it was an awesome place to eat. So much so, night shift stayed after work to eat breakfast before they left. Super nice. When our headquarters from up north (Boston, Mass and Hartford, Connecticut) merged it brought the north to the south and our cafeteria became a clashing zone. The cafeteria staff was reduced and replaced with a professional chef and a few cooks/workers he chose. The menu shifted tremendously. One day we were standing in line and the menu for the day was chicken fettuccini, chicken Cacciatore, and chicken parmesan. One of my co-workers was from the mountains of NC and as country bumpkin as anyone ever. If Appalachia has a stereotype my buddy fit it to a T. He had a deep mountain accent and was a super guy to work with and work for. When the chef came out with his double-breasted suit, the hat and the completely professional look, mingling with us like he would at a five-star restaurant. He came up to "Joe" and said, "How are things? What will you be eating today? Joe said in a deep drawl from Appalachia, "I don't know, bo, but I do know there is only three ways to "F*&% up a good chicken, and damned if you don't know all three!". Joe meant it in gest, but our new chef was deeply offended. Joe landed in HR over it and he would say, "his preference of having his chicken fried or grilled" was the reason. Babbling. At work waiting for the night shift to get up to speed. My apologies for getting off the topic. Scott

Yep on Geezy's post and yep on yours. Your body will tell you soon enough. The first few pounds lost is usually water and with that water goes some electrolytes and minerals. It differs for everyone. I tried LMNY but didn't like the taste. I tried salt in my water and that didn't do the trick either. I went to youtube and found a "LMNT" type electrolyte home recipe and made my own. From there it evolved into using that pre-made drink mix as my 'table salt'. It is pink Himalayan salt, Keltic sea salt, a different sea slat brand and No Salt for the potassium. I poured pretty much equal amounts into bowl, put on the lid and shook it up. That bowl is now my salt for cooking or for salting. When I am fasting, I put a pinch under my tongue a few times per day and chase it with water. It is an evolving process for everyone. Your body will start dropping hints and if we don't pick up the body usually knocks over the head to get our attention. Scott
