Fast food with Coffee - not great

Interesting.  Not that high fat food is recommended but might help with that impulse at the drive-thru window getting your coffee.

It sure is hard to know what to eat these days.  Whatever I'm currently doing seems to always be wrong.  I've been giving Joe a lower carb diet but this increases fat.  I can read things that assure me I'm doing the right thing and  read something else that makes me think I'm killing him.  What to eat?

I'm also somewhat limited by what he WILL eat.  I gave him a bowl of the popular ricotta cream from the South Beach diet and he thought it was absolutely disgusting.

He took our youngest son fishing saturday and they came home with a partially eaten box of Little Debbie strawberry cream snack cakes and had the nerve to tell me that at least it contained fruit!  

I feel like I have dietary schizophrenia.  I can't decide which way to go so I just kind of run around in circles feeling uptight about every meal.  How did eating become so difficult?

I think I just vented.  Thanks for the additional info.  I'll throw it in to the boiling cauldron in my brain and see what happens. :>)

Fast food isn't good for you no matter what you drink with it.

"Fast food isn't good for you no matter what you drink with it."

Maybe not, just leave me the fast cars and fast women.

[GSDgirl]

Fast cars, fast motorcycles & fast horses

Anyone who says fast food with coffe ain't great probably hasn't scarfed a fresh breakfast burrito with a cup of joe on an early morning fishing trip. That there and Salma Hyek in a tight top are proof that we're God's children.

I think the proper connections is SLOW horses and fast food.

I'm thinkin' Derby.......FAST horses

It is very uncommon that Joe would eat fast food but I have been giving him 2 eggs (fresh from the chicken) for breakfast with 1 slice of 100% whole wheat buttered toast.  (real butter)  I hope this will keep being OK because he sure is happy eating it and has no desire to eat oatmeal again. He drinks 2-3 mugs of coffee a day.
He has adjusted really well to a lower carb way of eating.  He still eats carbs but I keep them low.  I do give him the healthier fats though.  Of course, that all depends who's opinion you go by.  Many still say "no" to the saturated fat.  George H. over at Nomads thinks that the saturated fat is really good for you, especially if you are cirrhotic.   George is very smart and has studied this deeply so he could be right.  
  I just give Joe the amount of fat that makes eating more pleasant.  I'm trying to get  him eat the more whole and natural foods.  There is no way to afford grass fed beef and organic produce but we just do the best we can with what we can get.  
Dietary advice from various experts is just so contradictory and confusing that one hardly knows what to do.  About the time I settle in peacefully...another study comes along to make me question?????

What do you think happens to the horse that finishes dead last?

[GoofyDad]

I'm surprised to hear he could finish.

[FlGuy]

Good point.  That's why the OscarMeyerWeinerMobile is often seen at racetracks.

fast food............yuck

[GoofyDad]

Just in time manufacturing, huh? Obviously a sick sigma process.

I guess it's a very individual thing, isn't it.  These things are all just general rules of thumb I suppose and it's like playing Twister trying to keep up with it all. Some things that are good for people are not so good for people with HCV and vice versa so I wouldn't worry about it too much.  Maybe I'll pay some attention in general but it's not going to stop me from having the occasional sausage McMuffin w/egg with my coffee on an early morning run to the fishing hole.  Well, okay, I don't fish at the hole or on the whole..but you get my drift. :)

[Trish77]

Ohhh...love it when you talk that PM talk...gets a girl all Agile.

[GoofyDad]

Don't get too Agile, you could end up with something up your SCRUM.

[R Glass]

  I admit I had to look up “Scrum,” but you can Count Me In. This sounds Kinky

· “Scrum relies on a self-organizing, cross-functional team. The scrum team is self-organizing in that there is no overall team leader who decides which person will do which task. Those are issues that are decided by the team as a whole. The team is cross-functional so that everyone necessary to take a feature from idea to implementation is involved.

[GoofyDad]

“Scrum relies on a self-organizing, cross-functional team"

Well of course it does. You've gotta self-organizing, cross-functional team in your britches, don't ya son? Ready to take the the feature from idea to implementation, right?

[IAmTheWalrus]

So if you get a cross-functional Scrum designing fast food restaurants at the race track would they use implement Lean horsemeat?
