Re: Wow, did something hit you in the head?
heh... I had more to add, but hit the wrong key...
It is all very well to drop some pounds, and ease off unhealthful amounts of refined carbs and all... but any diet that is like dying is bound to fail just from the weight of resentment...
I eat soup because soup is tasty and good! I make sure of that...
I use greens under that tasty scorched meat and onions and peppers and--well, anything that might traditionally go over starch.
I drink lots of really good water, adding lemon or lime or both when away from my own pure well water.
I eat less beef, less dairy... less animal fat and more olive or canola oil.
I have lost 60 lbs. It has taken a while... but I have not returned towards my high weight, nor am I tempted to binge because the cabbage has driven me mad with desire for anything and everything else.
Now and then, a one-bite dessert is not a bad thing.
Geeze, Naut, be nice to yourself! Losing weight is a gift you give yourself... the hell with hell!

Naut....I started on 4-1
I am at 10.2 pounds lost! I bought a new grill......steaks, boneless chicken breasts, and salads. Fruit for desert....but on Saturday...if I am down from the previous Saturday....I get to binge! Also exercise bike 3 miles in the morning and 3 miles in the evening ( this is important because I am still working on rebuilding the use of my leg.....
We can make it.....40 pounds is my goal!

I don't mind cabbage on occasion. The kids all complain loudly that the home has a certain aroma whenever I boil it, though. Love it julienned and sauteed...that's a really good way to eat it, if one must...
Oh, and PS can we all just come and DINE at your house??? It sounds like you are a foodie extroadinaire...(sorry, this is probably not helpful right now).

You won't last long! HAHAHAHA (Just kidding. You probably have all kinds of willpower.) Are you going to make one last Pâté first?

I am crying for your loss of that wonderful food . . . my newest venture is to eat as much food raw as I can. Friends tell me it is wonderful and cures all ails. Does it really matter if we have the secret to slimness when we have to abandon other loves whom we have loved so very, very well? 
Phoo.

I've got my Atkins bars all lined up for my own diet beginning next Monday. Cabbage makes me gassy!! Good luck and we'll be depriving ourselves from opposite sides of the border....Mal

Dear Nautikos
I mourn for you my dear friend such sins you must have committed. Please do not discuss them here on Blogit as a process of this Hellish trip. You have made this attempt too funny. Great post. Good luck and may this be the best soup you ever ate.
