I agree, though I still recommend not eating high fat foods frequently.
But yes, portion control and exercise are key for everyone.

And I was told that eggs are actually very good for you, and the
cholesterol contained in eggs is a good kind that is good for you. Foods
high in saturated fats have the bad cholesterol we are told to avoid.

Like I said, I believe in moderation, but don't think we should
completely cut anything from our diet if we enjoy it.

And yes, lard is not as bad for you when in pure form. Like using real
butter is better than margarine since real butter is not loaded with
synthetic properties. I use real forms of food and ingredients as much
as possible since it usually doesn't have a bunch of synthetic stuff. I
also do organic as possible, which is basically what the lard thing
comes down too. This is why I'm making my own baby food, grin.

The curmudgeon in me says: so what if they're high-fat? There's an awful
lot of preachiness and precious little actual long-term evidence in much
of the medical orthodoxy these days. What I'd give for some refried
beans made with real lard again! Actually, lard is quite healthy,
contrary to popular belief.

The case of eggs should be instructive and cause all of us to say with
the
bible: prove me now herewith!

The key is portion control and, yes, exercise.

But I'll stop there as I do not want to drive those for whom diabetic
orthodoxy works from this list. After all, you've elected me to
represent all of you! :-)

Do you make burritos with refried beans or something different like
black beans? Refried beans are really high in fat. And when you add meat
back in, you can do lean beef or lean turkey. We usually use ground
turkey around here.

I was lucky and didn't gain much weight during my pregnancy. I only
gained abut 20 pounds. I continued to exercise during pregnancy, and I
actually ate probably the healthiest I ever have, grin.

yes I sure agree with you,
We do all of the above, making burritoes as well with malta grain
tortilla. This time with no meat, beeing Lent for us. I am trying to get
used to the lower numbers, where taking it slowly 
when I am the only one at the gym who knows what to do with my dog if 
anything should happen while over there.
I sure wouldn't want him to go to the pound.
I was told to lose the weight slowly this is happening.
Glad you lost allot of your baby gain.
Keep up the swell work.
