Comment on Julia Cameron’s The Writing Diet by jazzmuzzle

Did you read Pollan’s book too? (In Defense of Food? the cake reference caught my eye.)
I disagree with “diets” entirely. I have always held that you can eat whatever you want as long as the vast majority of it is healthy. No, you can’t have an ice cream sundae every day and yes, you will have to have some sort of physical exercise if you expect to maintain a healthy weight. But for the most part, just eat what you know is good for you!

Comment on Effortless Oats by Kenn

This is a good one! I’ve also had a hard time with steel cut oats – getting them to an eatable form quickly.

Recently, I’ve been trying to not drink fluids during my meal, Not a half hour before and not until 45 mins after.

This is to let the body break down the food without diluting my digestive enzymes.

Seems good so far.

Hi Doreen -

Please feel free to link. Glad you enjoyed it! You make a good point about mom-and-pop restaurants, and that’s where the issue gets really murky. At least for me. On the other hand, I feel that fast food chains are really just one step above processed food you might buy in a grocery store — only it is freshly (sometimes) prepared and served by people. And if Amy’s frozen dinners has to share their nutritional facts, shouldn’t McDonalds? Mom & Pops spaghetti diner is another story, though.

I probably would have shrugged at first with regards to giving nutritional information on restaurant menus, but then again, most of the restaurants I eat at tend to be small mom-and-pop affairs. Sure, they *may* have something akin to the Schroom pizza, but I don’t think I’m ordering it.

For people who are watching their weight, or for those who ought to, it doesn’t hurt to be more informed about what one is eating, especially when a deceptively healthy item turns out to be rather unhealthy, like Dunkin’ Donuts’ muffins vs doughnuts. I’m reminded of the salads at fast food restaurants that start out like a good idea… until someone adds some heavy dressing, which negates the good food choice completely.

Thanks for the article! I’d like to link to it from my blog, if I may.
