I also use olive oil, in which I first sautee a little diced onion,
garlic, and/or chilis. Then I slowly add the beans (cooked pintos,
or Mexican pinks) and beat with a fork. A gringo who spends a lot
of time in Sonora showed me how to do this.

Sure they have some fat in them, but fat carries flavor, and you
can measure how much and make sure it's within your target.

I use halibut, or perch or even cod - beer batter fried. Then I use fresh
corn tortillas steamed to make them soft. Each taco is two tortillas,
sliced fish, thinly sliced cabbage and a sauce made from yogurt and crema.
Then a squeeze of lime.

Oh but I wish it were. My Endo. told me I was probably just one of those
people who couldn't eat very much. I went from being a very skinny kid who
could eat anything and never put on an ounce to an overweight adult who just
looks at food and gains. Actually I weigh now what I weighed almost 16
years ago when I got married. I did put on some weight oddly after I had
the baby. I did manage to lose it and then some. But I also had thyroid
problems. That in and of itself I think was causing weight problems both
gain and loss because I was both hyper and hypo.

I did manage to lose some more weight when I stopped eating lunch. The
dietician I saw told me I wasn't taking in enough calories and I should eat
lunch again. I did and quickly regained the weight. I should add that I
started on insulin at this time. I don't know how much (if any) the insulin
had to do with this.

I then stopped eating lunch again at the recommendation of my Endo. So I
eat a small breakfast, then a normal sized dinner, and a snack before bed.
I rarely ever eat snacks during the day. If I do it is usually a piece of
cheese or a handful of nuts or seeds. Once in a while a pickle or some
olives. I rarely ever eat sweets. AFAIK, I have not lost any weight since
cutting out that meal.

I don't eat at places that have them. I do buy some from minimus.biz. But
I don't think they have that sauce.

What do you use that for? I think I saw someone use it in a salad. But I
tend not to put oil on my salads.

Very very close to how I do it.

For some reason, cabbage/sour cream go on a fish taco, whereas lettuce
dressed in oil/vinegar goes on certain other tacos (notably, duck,
but also plain veggie or bean/veggie).

Sorry, but no. I am reading the book "Good Calories, Bad Calories" by Gary
Taubes. He says this is an old notion and sadly it just doesn't work that
way. He cites many examples. But it's a very thick book so I'm not going
to quote it all.

Years ago I managed to lose weight. It was very difficult for me. I could
eat no more than 1,000 calories a day. I was exercising very hard for at
least 2 hours a day. I did allow myself one meal of my choice which was
usually nachos or waffles, but only if I did 5 hours of dancing (pretty much
straight through) before I went out to eat. But for the most part my diet
was mostly carbs with a little protein and very little to no fat. I did
keep the weight off for about 3 years but then the lure of good tasting food
just took over and I rapidly gained it back and then some.

I can not do a low carb diet. It leaves me hungry and cranky and raises my
blood sugar. Plus I don't digest fats or protein very well.
>

I would never make it through the induction stage on that. I would sooner
starve than have to eat that much meat. I have read the latest book.
Husband wanted to try it. I knew he could never do that either. He loves
fruit.
>
> Carbs are the enemy. Not fat.

That is kind of what Taubes says. I was never one to say that fat is the
enemy even though by my natural tastes and choices, my diet would be low in
fat. I am also not addicted to carbs. But I do digest them well. Some of
the higher fiber ones are a no go. One of my favorite foods is a huge salad
with all kinds of vegetables. Sadly I have to restrict my salad. I find
canned green beans work well for me so I eat them almost every day. I also
eat a lot of carrots, onions, peppers and sometimes celery.

I currently eat about 1,000 calories a day. Sometimes a little more.
Sometimes less. I did track my diet for a while. Discovered I was lacking
in vitamin E pretty much every day. I am not losing weight on this diet at
all, but thankfully maintaining.

I am rarely ever hungry. Gastroparesis tends to do that to you.

I can do the calories. But Atkins? No. Not for me.

Maybe some people can do that. The closer food is and the better
it tastes, the more I eat. At the store, I buy lots of boring and
healthy foods, usually with a treat. The best tasting stuff is
always eaten first here. Then I go on a "too lazy to go to the

But of course, do whatever you want to do. Maybe I will see you at
the grocery store sagging around in an electric cart because you
are too fat to walk.

Good luck and have fun.

If you use fish that is breaded and deep-fried,
it is nutritionally crap. The breading is a
sponge for the saturated fat used in fryer oils.

It's comfort food, alright, and you can be
comfortable for your entire short life.

Of course, if you smoke, feel free to disregard
this advice. You won't live long enough for
your diet to matter.

That's a little sweeping. There is evidence that a very high
fat diet is harmful in some ways, but this only kicks when you're
at maybe twice the recommended daily value. One can easily
be within recommended limits and still be eating refried beans,
fist tacos, etc. in reasonable portions.

I highly recommend a kitchen scale, some measuring cups, and
portion control. Or you can do what I do -- dead reckoning --
if I know it takes me 6 weeks to go through a liter of olive oil,
then our household consumption of fat is not out of line. (And,
who needs other fats?)

There is no way I could ever do Atkins. None at all. I did try low carbing
when we were moving from CA to NY. I had high blood sugar from a nasty
sinus infection that stuck with me for months. I saw Drs. in three
different states, trying to clear it up. I ate only meat, cheese and non
starchy vegetables. I was exhausted, cranky, hungry and worse yet it seemed
to only push my blood sugar higher. I did not lose any weight. None at
all.

Now with the gastroparesis it would work for me even less. I literally can
not stomach much meat. My main source of protein is beans. Due to chronic
anemia I find I have to eat red meat a couple of times a week. But I can't
tolerate it much more than than. I do not like any other forms of meat or
fish. Once in a while I can do canned tuna.

Well I smoked for 27 years. Quit 13 years ago when I was pregnant.
Daughter is 12 now. And I don't eat fish tacos. I just make em.

ROT-13 what doesn't make sense:

My mouth? When I was 17 I was "with" a girl a few times who claimed she
didn't want guys "rngvat ure bhg", but when she got all hot and horny, she
started moaning, "Rng zr bhg! Rng zr bhg!" I didn't really want to, and
I don't know why I did, but I went ahead and tried it. I didn't like it
and have never done it again...nor do I think about doing that. However,
I do think the "tuna taco" reference is funny and I just had to bring it
up.

I think I am taking the right amount of everything. I do not do excessive

Well a fish taco is properly made with corn tortillas.

I agree Mahi Mahi works.

Sure, but a corn tortilla is maybe 30 calories vs. 200 for a flour
tortilla... it is not particularly out of balance to have breaded fish in
a corn tortilla, unless it's over-breaded. IMO.

Heh. I don't mind getting naked. But I don't like getting wet in the
shower. Unless perhaps it's a beastly hot day and I'm taking a cool shower.
But in the winter? I hate that chill you get when you first get in the
shower and the chill you get when you get out of the shower. And then the
fact that you can't get fully dry so you are still a little damp when trying
to get dressed. And then there is the dripping hair...

I generally only have heat on in the bathroom. Not in the spring and
summer, but this time of year it does get cold in there. No heat in the
bedroom which is right off of the bathroom. So it can get cold. I do turn
the heat on in the family room when the outside temp is much below 50. But
I only heat the living room if it is below freezing and we get too cold in
here otherwise.

Huh? I make sure the water is running at my favorite temperature before I
get into the shower. Are you saying you first get in the shower, then
turn the water on while the spray is aimed at you? That's why you're
getting a chill.

I don't have that problem. I dry everything, then put on a big T-shirt
that covers my private bits as I go from the bathroom to the bedroom where
the humidity is lower and any remaining surface moisture evaporates
quickly.

> And then there is the dripping hair...

Get a haircut like Annie Lenox or Pee-wee Herman and you won't have drippy
hair. Better yet, get one like Arsenio Hall and your hair won't get wet
at all. It'll all just roll off your hair more easily than it rolls off
your shoulders. I don't let my hair get longer than about an inch, and I
usually cut it before then with a pair of electric clippers -- not until
I'm bald. I have an attachment that lets me buzz it down to 3/8".

I have so many electronic toys in my bedroom that I have to run the window
A/C in the winter unless the temperature gets to below freezing outside.
In the summer, the central air isn't strong enough to cool my bedroom with
a 22" CRT monitor, a television, satellite receiver, and computer tower.

You've filled your sexless bedroom with "electronic toys." That's
halfway to being a cyborg. Creepy.

No AC in this house and no way to get central or probably any AC. No
ducting. No large spots on the wall to put one through. And window units
are probably not safe to use because of the rate of robberies.

Why would I want that? I don't WANT the heat on! I do have a small heater
that I attempted to use in the garage one Halloween. Daughter and I had the
bright idea to decorate it to look spooky. Our intent was to sit out there
and pass out treats. We made a treasure chest that year and we had little
toys. No candy. Then wouldn't you know that year it dropped below
freezing. I went out and bought the heater because we had gone to so much
work to decorate the place. The heater was worthless in those conditions.
Anyway... I can't see any use for it in the house. I should probably just
put it in the give aways.

My bathroom is quite far from the water heater. So it can take a good 3 to
4 minutes to bring the hot water into the bathroom. I tell my daughter not
to leave the shower running but to use the water in the tub or the sink at a
trickle to draw the hot water into the room. Otherwise she wastes a ton of
water by leaving the shower running. She will put it waaaay to hot and then
forget what she is doing. Twice she has fallen asleep in the bedroom and I
realize there is a problem when steam is wafting out of the bedroom.

I do not like taking hot showers. I like them to where they are just warm
enough not to feel cold. I can get psoriais and find that if I keep the
water on the cooler side, my skin stays clear.

My bedroom is directly outside the bathroom. And I never put the heat on in
there.

No thanks. My hair is on the short side. But it's not that short.

Surely that's what she meant. She couldn't be delusional enough to
think that the majority of profoundly unattractive people have the
potential to make themselves attractive. Of course, why would you
care anyway? The only big advantage to being attractive is to
*attract* sex partners, and you don't like sex anyway, though maybe
it's one of those, "I wouldn't like to have sex with anyone likely to
want to have sex with someone like me," things.

You migh want to google "mini-split air conditioning". Has an outside
unit and an inside unit connected by relatively small hoses. The inside
unit can go anywhere, not just in a window, the outside unit is bolted
to a concrete slab just like with central air.

There *is* heat in the bathroom. And there would be no way to put an
additional heater in there. Not enough room where the plug ins are.

Never heard of that before. Thanks! But the amount of hot weather we get
here would probably not justify the purchase.
