The supposed logic behind the "low fat" trend escapes me for much the same reasons as that behind the "low carb" trend. Neither one seems to make an obvious accounting for total caloric load. What's really kind of funny is when you look at two products side-by-side on a supermarket shelf, wherein one is a low-fat alternative to the other. (Peanut butter is a good example here.) The "low fat" version almost invariably has a caloric density similar to, and in many cases higher than, the version which it purports to replace. Actually, a lot of things about the grocery store confuse me. Like laundry detergent. Typically, we expect to experience a cost-per-unit savings when buying in bulk. This is certainly true when purchasing things like cars, iron ore, cocaine, and so on. So why does the 128oz bottle of liquid laundry soap cost $15.99 while the 64 oz bottle costs $7.99? That's an extra 0.015625 cents per ounce, and I'm certain that the smaller bottles cost more (on a per-ounce basis) to manufacture and distribute- more plastic, more handling, more transactional costs, etc. Or the container of laundry soap that proudly exclaims "25% MORE LOADS than 72 loads." Well, yes- 90 is 25% more than 72, but how exactly is this relevant to anything at all? Is 72 a historically standard number of loads of laundry to get out of a box of soap? For that matter, what standards agency determines the formula for dividing mass (of soap) by loads (of laundry), to come out with a ratio of ounces to loads? Couldn't I advertise a box of soap as containing any arbitrarily large number of "loads," simply by specifying the amount of soap to be used per load as an arbitrarily small measure? Is there some kind of ANSI or ISO standard for how much effective cleaning power a "load" of soap is defined as, and how this is to be measured? At least with motor oil we have API standardized tests run by independent labs. So far as I've been able to determine, there is no American Soap Institute. |
i made stir fry and rice last night, but i cant cook rice, so it was a healthier dinner since we didnt eat the rice.

I used to cook rice like TuningDoneRong tuned cars; add enough fuel, add a little more for safety, just a little more, fuck it dump it all in. You end up with a black smoke belching slow POS and a pan full of solid cement-like rice.
I'm also down to 190lbs today. Started at 212ish mid-December. Today was a good day. |
Good work, Oscar. Just think: when you get back into your Miata, you'll have a better weight-to-power ratio without even turning a wrench on the car.
Joe - Did you compare "serving size" on that laundry detergent? That is, some of the more concentrated formulas require much less to be used per load of laundry. Comparing concentrated vs non-concentrated would skew the numbers quite a bit. |

To be honest, I haven't seen a gym from the inside since I had physical therapy for a knee injury 6 years ago. I take out my MTB a couple of times a week and have been on a keto diet alone. I can only imagine if I actually start proper exercises :party:

Have you been taking Potato Starch?
|
No, I've had some trouble finding something comparable to the unmodified starch you mentioned earlier. I did order psyllium for my pooping needs. Should be here tomorrow or the day after.

Hmm, how about just sticking a raw green plantain in your morning smoothie? heh many years ago I visited Holland and met up with Nico Van Steen. This was before gay miata owners got together and created mt.net. |
