Fuck diets. I say be healthy.

In my attempt to do this I have majorly increased my vegetable consumption. Speaking of salads I can make a salad from anything. I've been eating a lot of onions and mushrooms which are great for you and help with weight loss. I don't feel bad about eating olive oil. butter and ghee and use it a lot when cooking my veggies. So I might have a huge plate of roasted, stirfry, grilled veggies and a little small portion of meat.

In all fairness, my diet is not very diet-like. I am simply retraining my body to return to a healthier way of eating. I have reduced my portion sizes and limited when I am willing to eat heavy carb meals. No carbs after 3 pm. I still eat everything I love I just choose to eat it at certain times of the day. My mother had a doctors appointment this week and her doctor is concerned about her blood sugar levels. When mom mentioned this new diet, the doctor jumped right on it... Now mom and I are meal buddies!! So far, its really working too!! I had to wear a belt with my jeans this week.

That's wonderful! Besides blets are great accessories *laughs*. A meal buddy is always great. I could use a little extra motivation myself.

Sorry to rain on the party folks but if you have ever had sausage, a hot dog, pate', or the like, you have had some "offal" aka organ meat. Some Chefs make a specialty of it. Some restaurants cater to the Offal lovers. There is a place in NYC's Greenwich Village called Takashi that is a little Japanese Offal place, it looked like a sushi bar to me so I wound up in there one night before clubbing thinking that I was going to get some sushi.

What surprise that was.

One of our beloved San Francisco Chefs Chris Cosentino of Incanto is the Offal King. His website Offal Good is not for the faint of heart.

I don't quite mind organ meat if it's done right. It's more the having it cooked in the sheeps stomach that gets me. I don't know why.

I have switched to veggie dogs. Although I do love me a good size sausage now and then.
