Indeed! It also means (as she recounted here) they cut back on carbs
and in general ate more sensibly. They weren't following some fad diet
regime. Just eating more healthy.

Thanks for reminding me! I've got oxtails in the freezer, got them for
$6.99/lb about three months ago. Three nice meaty ones. But yes, I
remember when no one bought them and the price was much less. I see
some oxtail soup/stew in the near future.

Good grief. Is this pick on Jill day today? Seems to be for me.

CFS is the TIADEST food of all times. So very sad that a cow or
steer died for such a thing. Best way to ruin a steak, imo.
Enjoy!

Cutting back on carbs makes no difference in weight loss. It's
all about calories and exercise.

Way too pricey for mystery compost burgers. Just a five minute stroll
down the road from me is a Black Angus beef farmer... anyone wants can
walk out into a field and scoop up lots of cow flop veggie patties
that actually come from a cow.... same farmer raises pasture fed hogs
too, get your vegetarian bacon patties.

Think about it for a moment, Gary. I eat almost no meat. I eat
a lot of vegetables. Carbs are nothing more than vehicles for
grease.

What do you propose I cut out of my diet, if not carbs?

More for the rest of us! I rarely make CFS but when I do, it's
delicious. Gotta have that cream (aka country) gravy. Serve CFS with
fresh cut green beans cooked with onions, garlic, a bit of browned salt
pork or chopped bacon. Or turnip greens. Or you could even steam some
vegetables.

But those carbs have lots of calories and don't fill you up as much as
other foods. Soda has to be one of the worst.

The other problem with carbs is they taste so damned good. Easy to go
back for seconds or take a big dish of cake or ice cream.

Would you like the super size those fris and get the 64 oz. soda?

To lose weight, cut out excess calories no matter what kind.
Consume less calories than you burn and you will lose weight.
That's the only way to lose weight.

Exercise helps but is not the solution. It raises your metabolic
rate for hours and that does help.

Bottom line - eat LESS calories than you burn each day.

Also...you can't just guess at that. You need to count calories
each meal and each day then compare to your activity level. Get
yourself a book on calorie counts. Invaluable when trying to lose
weight.

You saw on U2B how to prepare CFS which was for sale at W-W.

This is code language, so Americans can communicate in secret.

Gary, I lost 60 pounds. You don't need to lecture me on what
to do. I already know it's about thermodynamics.

Yes, Australians don't like words of more than 2 syllables. "This arvo
I'll go to the servo."

Cindy, one of my favorite Aussie shortcuts is "brekkie," for breakfast. I think

If you wait for the BK coupons that come out every few months,
you can buy 2 Whoppers for like $3.99 plus tax.
It's a BOGO deal.

With same repeated coupons, another good one is
Buy two Whopper Jr's and 2 small fries for only $3.99 + tax.

Right now, BK is advertising 10 chicken nuggets for $1.50. Not
too bad but I bought a bunch when they sold for 10 for a dollar.
I like those well enough for the price. They have plain and spicy
and both are tasty.
