V.T. Eric Layton Posted July 29, 2013 Share Posted July 29, 2013 I felt the need for some comfort food this evening, so I at a whole package of Chips Ahoy chocolate chip cookies with milk for dinner. I'm stuffed. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest LilBambi Posted July 29, 2013 Share Posted July 29, 2013 Well, that is a major departure from your normal diet. If I was gonna go off the reservation, it would have been a yummy pizza! LOL! Although...cookies and milk are great too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

crp Posted July 30, 2013 Share Posted July 30, 2013 pizza has too much carbs but 'chips ahoy' don't ?!?!?!?! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
V.T. Eric Layton Posted July 30, 2013 Author Share Posted July 30, 2013 I lost count of the Chips Ahoy carbs. My brain doesn't comprehend numbers that large. I did eat them with low carb milk, though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crp Posted July 30, 2013 Share Posted July 30, 2013 were they at least the chewy kind? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Webb Posted July 30, 2013 Share Posted July 30, 2013 (edited) This is about the worst I ever do - but I do it too often. Edit - Eric, you live in Florida. Go grab some Publix premium ice cream when it's on sale (about every other week) for $3.50. Edited July 30, 2013 by Webb Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
V.T. Eric Layton Posted July 30, 2013 Author Share Posted July 30, 2013 @ crp... Nah, just the regular crunchy kind. They get good and soggy in the milk, though. @ Webb... Yup. Publix has some yummy ice cream. When I want to indulge, though, I normally get Blue Bunny's low carb Bunny Tracks. YUM! @ Temmu... Publix is a nice grocery store. I like their rice pudding. I don't shop there, unfortunately, because they are quite expensive compared to other grocery store chains down here in the Tampa area.

crp Posted July 30, 2013 Share Posted July 30, 2013 (edited) So not only are you breaking the law in Florida by using an electronic device that attaches to the internet, you are violating natural law by dunking in milk a non-Hydrox/Oreo type cookie ?!?! And no, making crunchy soggy in milk does not count as chewy - therefore those are all bad carbs. Edited July 30, 2013 by crp 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Next time you need an escape from the food nazi regimen you are on try this. Dunk your crunchy Chips Ahoy cookies in caffeine-free Diet Coke or Coke Zero. That's what all my crazy, fat, diet conscious friends do. I say Yuck! Edited July 30, 2013 by amenditman 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
V.T. Eric Layton Posted July 30, 2013 Author Share Posted July 30, 2013 I can't drink that Diet Coke stuff. It has Nutra Poison Sweet® in it. That stuff does bad things to my head. I was dunking in Hood Calorie Countdown® milk. It has very low carbs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ross549 Posted July 30, 2013 Share Posted July 30, 2013 Dinner tonight for me was salad greens with a chopped boiled egg and some cesar dressing, and a 2/3 lb beef patty seasoned with garlic, onion, salt, and pepper topped with a slice of cheese and an egg. Boy am I stuffed! Kept it under ten grams of carbs though. Adam Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was dunking in Hood Calorie Countdown® milk. It has very low carbs. I have been corrected! The crazy diet people have spoken up and I was wrong. They were not dunking their Chips Ahoy in Caffeine Free Diet Coke. They were dunking MEGAStuff Oreo's in their Caffeine Free Diet Coke. Sorry for the mis-information. I sincerely hope I haven't caused anyone to fall off the diet wagon. P.S. Eric - Nutra Poison Sweet® does that to everyone, some are just more sensitive to it than others. My mother cannot have anything with it because it causes her to suffer migraines. Edited July 31, 2013 by amenditman Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
V.T. Eric Layton Posted July 31, 2013 Author Share Posted July 31, 2013 It makes me extremely nervous (almost anxiety attacks) and a rapid heart rate. Not good. I actually quit smoking marijuana back in '83 because I thought I was getting dain bramage from it, but it was really that darn aspartame. Ain't that a birch?

ross549 Posted July 31, 2013 Share Posted July 31, 2013 so, what happened to, "artificial sweeteners kill rats"? (and by extension, you, the tv audience.) that was the mantra of the 60's and 70's, i remember seeing all sorts of scary documentaries on that (along with the dangers of ciggy smoking...) True. If you feed rats an equivalent of 1000x a standard "dose" of artificial sweeteners, they will die. The "documentaries" ignore this little fact. Moderation is key, as in everything.

rolanaj Posted July 31, 2013 Share Posted July 31, 2013 (edited) Funny thread. I had dental surgery last week so I'm on a diet whether I want to be or not. Nothing I can't mash with a fork. I am dying for an apple or a salad I know I'm weird. Edited July 31, 2013 by rolanaj Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

V.T. Eric Layton Posted July 31, 2013 Author Share Posted July 31, 2013 My main reason for eating low carb (the cookie pigout was a rare behavioral aberration) is so that I can control my diabetes with diet alone... no medication of any type. I've been successful at this for many years. My A1C regularly hovers around 4.7, which is the A1C of a non-diabetic person. Carbs baaa-aad! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

V.T. Eric Layton Posted July 31, 2013 Author Share Posted July 31, 2013 Well, lotsa' diabetes history in my family. My maternal grandfather died in his early 40s from diabetes. I watched as they chopped more and more pieces off my already blind paternal grandmother till she finally died. My mother developed diabetes when she was in her early 40s. My father had it, but something else killed him before the diabetes could. My brother and I both have it. I've been able to maintain without insulin so far, but my brother has to regulate himself occasionally with a shot of insulin. You are what you eat. There is no truer truth than that.

I don't do apples, but salads are pretty much my staple sustenance these days. Woo-hoo! Who's afraid of cyclospora. but what happened to chemical build up from all those poison sweeteners? It's all in your head. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gus K Posted August 1, 2013 Share Posted August 1, 2013 but what happened to chemical build up from all those poison sweeteners? Minor stuff. Brain tumors, seizures, acceleration of Parkinson's disease just to name a few, Other's feel the aspartame may also be responsible for the alarming rise here in USA of various autoimmune diseases, lupus, MS etc. Some pre-Reagan FDA approval tidbits. In July of 1975, as the FDA prepared for the PBOI review - an FDA inspector conducted a routine inspection of Searle's Skokie, Ill. testing facilities, and found many "deviations" from proper procedure protocols. This report led the FDA commissioner, at the time, to empanel a Special Commissioner's Task Force to review Searle's laboratories. In December of 1975, the Task force reported serious problems with Searle's research on a wide range of products, including aspartame. It found eleven other pivotal studies conducted in a manner so flawed that it raised more doubts concerning aspartame's safety, and created the possibility of serious criminal liability for G.D. Searle. The Searle-funded pathologists found no serious problems. The FDA task force, on the other hand, found Searle's key tumor safety study unreliable, but their recommendations were ignored. FDA Chief Counsel Richard Merrill submitted a thirty-three-page letter to U.S. attorney Samuel Skinner recommending a grand jury investigation into G.D. Searle "for concealing material facts and making false statements in reports of animal studies to establish the safety of aspartame." Two specific studies of concern were cited. No action was taken, and Skinner allowed the statue of limitations to run out.. BTW Skinner along with two of his aides, joined Searle's law firm shortly after that. The point is why even bother with such garbage? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
