[Diabetes-talk] victoza

Up with genetic engineering! (grin) After all, all our agriculture -- yes,
even that of ten thousand years ago -- was through genetically engineered
products: the "rachis" that holds wheat kernels on the plants is too strong
to harvest easily on the original einkorn wheat of the Middle East. (grin)

Well, yes, by basic definition. But I'm speaking of foods with very little
or nothing added. My husband and I use to eat regular eggs, but when we
switched to organic, hormone-free eggs, we both immediately noticed a
difference. The same with meat and fruits and veggies.

I also followed advice from doctors about this too, and while we don't eat
everything organic, we try our best, and we try to avoid food with high
sodium contents, corn syrup and high fats. Mostly, we don't like the
hormones added into most foods, and we try to avoid genetically enhanced
foods. We don't push our food opinions on others, nor do we follow some
crazy organic way of living. Through research, advice from others and our
own personal experience, we have found eating a certain way to work for us.
But again, we still indulge from time-to-time. Like the basket of Easter
candy sitting on the table, grin.

And it's not just food for us, but like anything, it's all in moderation.

You can be wrong on both sides too, huge grin.

Ultimately, if you're healthy, that's all that matters no matter how you get
there.

My meaning is that *everything* that comes from animals or plants
*already* is organic -- unless you like eating rocks! "Organic" means that
whatever it is has carbon in it. I'm heaping scorn upon those who misuse
scientific terminology. And I have absolutely no objections to chemicals in
my food. Frankly, with the possible exception of such things as fresh
vegetables, I don't find quite the taste differences between so-called
organic stuff and what we normally buy in the store as aficionados do. It's
sorta like what happens when beer conoisseurs taste-test beers under
scientific conditions. With the exception of noticing the differences
between differently brewed beers, they most often can't tell the difference.
It's the label and price that stimulates them! In fact, free-range or
barnyard-raised chickens are tougher -- just as wild turkey is a lot
stringier than domestically-raised turkey.

But to each his/her own. Have fun paying far too much for the satisfaction
of misusing a word! (huge grin)

Ever had organic? It usually taste so much better. Try organic eggs; delish,
smile. And organic fresh fruits and veggies-- never going back, grin.

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.
