The Law of Unintended Consequences strikes again!

“Stevie, for the last time, STOP eating your Frosted Flakes in the bathroom!”

> Clearly, the manufacturers add sugar to enhance the flavor. <

I’ve read that pizza shops routinely add sugar to their pizza dough. It makes the kids happy.

Mom: What do you want for dinner?
Kids: We want pizza! Order us a pizza!

[Pox]

And here I am thinking I was the only one who did that on occasion! :)

Someone explain this to me.

I'm 55, in good shape, eat out almost never and cook from scratch.

Since menopause, I feel like I'm thinking about food and what I'm going to eat next ALL THE TIME.

WTH?

I always hated white bread. Even as a kid when that’s mostly all that was on the shelves. It tasted like puffy cardboard to me.

Yeah, but we caught a lot of catfish and bream with dough balls of Wonder bread. Hotdogs worked well, too.

As a kid, I hated liver & onions. Now it’s a favorite.

Hated Swiss steak & Salisbury steak too, because they sure didn’t look or taste like sirloin steak.

And meat loaf? Most kids don’t like onions.

There’s no such thing as food too tasty, a tv screen too big, a woman too beautiful, a Harley too loud, ...

I am not sure if bread can even be Keto unless you make it with something other than flour. Not sure if that would even work because bread typically has yeast and rises to give it texture and flavor. There is unleavened bread.

Ezekiel bread still has carbs but it balances it with fiber. I love Ezekiel bread.

I highly recommend the book The Dorito Effect. Food tastes so good because...chemicals. “Natural flavoring” on the label...chemicals. There is little natural, fully nutritious food left. It’s ALL frankenfood at this point. Very depressing.

I've heard that even with Ezekiel Bread blood sugar will spike. You can use Almond flour instead of wheat flour.

[Mariner]

Ezekiel bread has a very low glycemic index of 36.

And it’s nutritious.

Indeed. Going Keto has opened my eyes to a lot of things. I still enjoy my chocolate treats, I just take some Heavy Whipping Cream, 100% Cacao Powder and Swerve Confectionary, and whip it up, and throw in some frozen strawberries, frozen Avocado bits and Macadamia Nuts, and I have a quick-and-dirty Fat Bomb.

But still, my problem is that I’ll eat the whole loaf in one sitting, LOL.

Plenty of recipes here:

I have no idea if any are any good.

Now the one “cheat” I allow myself, is Rebel Ice Cream. I limit myself to a pint a week.

I didn’t know that this was news.

What’s changed over ‘Boomer lifetimes is that we patronize fast food palaces routinely and portion sizes are much larger.

When we were kids Coke came in 6 oz bottles and it was a treat.

McDonald’s fantasized about selling a million (small) burgers from its red & white striped joints with the giant yellow arches.

Probably the majority of us ate dinner at home cooked by stay at home moms, and it wasn’t a constant stream of sugars and fats and salt.

It takes time and effort to shop for fresh ingredients and cook at home. I wonder how many do these days.

[Mount Athos]

you sound like you just raided my fridge

[dhs12345]

Yuk. And anything made by “Chef Boyardee” Lol. I remember eating it when I was a kiddo. I loved it probably because it was mostly sugar. My mom had better sense than I and would direct me to the Campbell's brand.
