Eating Healthier

[expiated]

The Target I went to today had a single bottle of cherry hint (left) on the shelves. Of course, I purchased it to give it a try, and have now added this flavor to my list of those I find acceptable.

Where can I buy date brownies?

Their URL has changed. To purchase date brownies now, I'll have to go to...

Then again, it appears they no longer offer date brownies. The last you checked, no one else did either, so it looks like you're just out of luck...too bad.

Recently I cut way back on my intake of sugar, refined carbohydrates, processed foods, red meat and empty calories, the reason being that I was getting a numb-like tingling feeling in the tips of my fingers, which the information I found on the Internet indicated was a sign of pre-diabetes. (I have absolutely no desire whatsoever to become diabetic!)

An unanticipated side affect was that for the first time since I was nine years old, I haven't so much as a hint of a "potbelly," and in fact, find myself nearly sporting six-pack abs for the first time in my life, despite my now being a senior citizen.

But starting tomorrow, I am taking full control of my diet in that my meals will now be 100% separate from the meals enjoyed by the other members of my household. This means I am going to have to start making snacks that will satisfy me between meals, but that are made with ingredients like dates, almond milk, unsweetened cacao, ceylon cinnamon, etc., rather than with dairy milk and sugar.

This thread will be a convenient spot for me to archive the recipes I find since I can't misplace this website, and google will make it easy for me to search for any particular recipe I might want to return to in the future, even if I accidentally forget about it for awhile. And so, I plan to begin posting recipes tomorrow...[/QUOTE

About 12 years ago I watched a sorta documentary called "Fat, Sick & Nearly Dead". I juice once a day every weekday now and will do a 10 day juice reboot once a year. I feel absolutly great and my bloodwork has been excellent. Another doc I found very informative was called "Food Matters". I agree though it's important to discuss any major change in diet with a nutritionist. Good luck.

I did a search to find out what it means to "juice," and based on what I read, I assume what you meant to type was that you juice one day every week. Otherwise, you would only be eating solid foods on the weekends.

Yes, I use a juicer. One can vary the fruits and veggies you choose to juice depending on your needs.
