Thanks Eldon, I gotta buy some ink but I will print it out. I do have a question about eating habits. I'm in no means a vegetarian but I have noticed lately that I haven't been having much of a taste for meat. I still eat steak or a roast and sometimes hamburger. I was told that I needed to change my diet but has been notcing for the past few months that I have been buying more veggies than meat. I have been eating things like broccoli with cheese and fried okra which is fried in canola oil. Is it ok to eat like this? A lot of time I just cook some type of veggies and be done with it.

Miss Queen..( if I may call you that)
Different diets do different things...or maybe I should say...certain diets do certain things.  For example: my partner has to eat a low cholesterol diet because he has had very high cholesterol to the point that he had surgery for a blocked artery.  ( All due to lipodystrophy.) He does not eat bread or pasta, potatos or cheese. ETC
I would say that as long as you have no specific medical problem that dictates what diet you are on.....that you can have whatever diet you want.  I tried a macrobiotic diet for awhile...and did loose weight but it was hard to stay on it. So I didnt. Fresh anything is good...fresh veggies, fresh fish,  fresh fruit etc.
I added this:  Even though my partner is on a low cholesterol diet....I suspect he will eat some stuffing with his turkey and have some pie!!!!!!!

I wouldn't call what I'm doing a diet. I have always loved veggies as a kid, except for beans. I just thought it odd that I have seemed to cut down my own meat intake. I still eat steak and roast. I love to eat nuts but knows I over do it. I have been buying walnuts for the omega 3 and taking fish oil tabs. The only other medical problems I have is diabetes. It seem that most of the things I like, rice, potatoes, corn are things I have to eat in small portions because of the starch. I still drink Pepsi but I have also started drinking bottled water. The only thing I haven't done is exercising. Just not motivated or I'll start then I'll stop.

Miss Queen: I highly recommend a PURE filter that you can attach to your kitchen faucet.  It gives you filtered water without paying the bottled water price.  (Can you believe what people pay to drink water which is essentially free!!!!)

[Queen Tokelove]

Yeah, I do. I am one of the ones paying for bottled water. I started drinking Propel but now it's hard to find it in 6 or 12 pack. I just started drinking Dasani grape water which is pretty good. I had a filter before by Brita, I think it was. I'm going to have to get it again.

Hello!

To Hal...LOL!

To Bear...You do have a valid point.

To Queen..I am studying on Diets and Excercise this week and I will update you on this as well.

For Thanksgiving and Christmas the diet seems to go out of the window.

Make the BEST of each Day!

To the Queen,  I may not be answering your actual question, but when I moved to a tiny cottage on the Cape, I stopped cooking meat because anything I cooked would end up 'in' the sheets, etc.  So I went from a regular pasta sauce making (meat, onions, tomatoes, etc.) to boiling pasta and adding an ounce or so of cheese to melt with tomatoes (canned).  In other words, I went from having meat regularly to having no meat at all and really didn't offset it in a responsible way.  My teeth haven't fallen out.  My bones haven't cracked.  I do have a yogurt each day.  But I haven't seen any problem from what I would have assumed to be a major withdrawal.  Win

Give me meat or give me death. I eat alot of fish and chicken, but if I couldn't have a good side of moo at least once a week, I'd rather be plant food.

I'm currently on a see [sic] food diet. Fortunately, I'm no couch potato so it works for me.

[poet]

Let me guess.  Since the Queen (that is Elizabeth) is still your ruler, boeuf Wellington? Win

[wellington]

Works for me, as long as it's top grade tenderloin. The Queen has long since lapsed into the hall of inaccessible, stuffy leaders. However, if Diana were still with us, I'd be worshiping the ground under her. Jackie O on steroids, baby.

You might even enjoy a true story, then, about the Queen.  A friend of mine was having lunch with Herself, Herself's Husband, etc., having been awarded a title.  He was/is blind.  The lunch was quail served with the sharpest knives known to G and creation.  The Queen, according to another person present, looked... ok, daggers, at the staff: blind man; sharp knives.  She graciously asked him if he would prefer her to cut his quail for him.  He thanked her and said yes to which she brilliantly said, 'Oh, it's nothing.  I do it for the dogs every day,' equating, of course, a human subject with a dog.  I wil pass on Miss Bouvier if only because Hyannis was home to J.F.K. and herself.  Win

[Queen Tokelove]

Thanks Poet. I was just wondering because I have noticed that when I go shopping I may buy for packs of steak and a roast and that's really it for meat. Like I said, I am not crazy about fish, chicken or beans. I just wanted to make sure that by cutting down the intake, it wouldn't cause any problems.
