Coke Zero

For breakfast? Whatever floats your boat, I guess. I avoid cola like the plague, though I don't have much choice some places. Never been fond of it. I had Mary Brown's for lunch and one of the pluses of going there is they have Bubly (soda water + fruit flavour, started in Ireland and marketed worldwide by Pepsi). No sugar or artificial sweeteners so it is the perfect diabetic soda. :giggle:
 
When I was a teen and had low blood pressure, my mother gave me coke for breakfast because I didn’t like coffee. That, and Nutella on toast. One reason , I have a lot of fillings and crowns in my mouth.

Why are you posting this, Jae? It doesn’t really speak for a balanced diet ….

I see... I didn't like coffee as a teen either. I started drinking it one night at Swiss Chalet in my 20s and have never looked back. When I was a kid, I refused to eat meat. My doctor told my mother, who was very concerned, 'Feed him bacon. If he won't eat that, he'll never eat any meat.'

  • To encourage others (hey, I have lost 20 pounds this year so far)
  • To invite comment and help from others
    • As for the balance - I've been working on lowering my cals for the past few months. Only now am I beginning to think that I should also be watching nutrition. The weight loss adventure is a journey

Nous Trite shun is another unknown ... requires complex balance that is troublesome for some objectives ... then if you don't want to know ... you shouldn't ask!

Is this common in the homo genus? Background quivers and chuckles as the unseen holds breath ... vast stretch of the abstract (dar kite m)!

M is for medium Ur that s in the midst of the mess ... rearranging!
 
Have you ever consulted a dietitian? They usually make you write down a food journal and then can give you the proper advice. Are there any dietitians in Korea?
I am surprised considering Korean traditional diet being relatively healthy with lots of vegetables that you resolve to this kind of diet- does your wife not cook? Or are you just pulling our legs here.

You're doing a lot of negative commentary on my food diary. You haven't posted your own.

Consulting with a dietician's a great idea but such consultation requires funds that I don't have.

You're right, the traditional Korean diet is relatively healthy. However, as Westerners have begun to accept healthier Eastern foods into their food plans, many Easteners have become more open to eating Western foods.

As far as fruits and veg go, on Wednesday, I ate cranberries, apple, and tomato. On Thursday I ate cranberries, strawberries, lettuce, and tomato.

Sure, sometimes my wife cooks. We have very different kinds of work schedules, though. We usually don't dine together
 
We eat the same meals, although the big guy snacks, as well, but only veggies with hummus or fresh fruit.

Brunch:

A BLT with scrambled egg on organic sourdough bread, with a bunch of strawberries on the side

Dinner:

Nachos with beef and cheese and refried beans (goat and sheep cheese on one end, mexican cheddar and real parm on the other) with lots of fresh homemade guac (I make THE best), shredded garden lettuce, local tomatoes with a drizzle of balsamic, backyard cucs with vinegar and finely chopped jalapenos and green onions, whole fat sour cream and mango lime salsa.
 
As a general rule I eat alone one meal a day - mostly protein - between 10pm and 12pm.

Tonite it will be cold chicken feta cheese and cucumber concoction on rice crackers and for dessert an almond and dark chocolate covered ice cream bar dipped in butterscotch with a glass of lemon ginger kombucha beverage.

I do forage during the day in the summer - a few berries or perhaps a raw carrot or a bite out of a cucumber or a couple of cherry tomatoes or some raw spinach/arugula/swiss chard leaves and bites of mint - as I work around the yard.

Beverages consist mainly of hot coffee in the morning, tepid water throughout the day and cold kombucha with my late meal.

If I go out for the occasional lunch or dinner with family or friend - given a choice - I usually order steak or shrimp dishes and a bottle or two of corona with lime. If invited to some ones home for a meal I eat whatever they offer and am grateful for it.

The same meals... all the time .. every day? Well, I guess to each their own but it would drive me even more loopy. The meals you describe do sound good. Just the other day I was craving a BLT but the closest I could find was a BELT - hard pass
 
There is lots of free advise from credible sources on the net.

In general, 24 g of sugar a day is the recommended amount- most people in the western world would be above it, part of it because sugar gets added everywhere and is hidden plus the sweets we choose to eat.
Fibre is a big thing and can help reduce cholesterol.

As to my diet- since struggling around being pre-diabetic, I have reduced eating treats to once a week.
I have oats with fruit and nuts and soy milk for breakfast, veggies or rice cakes for snacks, veggies with fish, tofu or chicken or beans as protein with dinner and leftover from dinner as lunch.

We don't tend to have a lot of sweet stuff around the house. I'll indulge when we have goodies at work, though. Been a banner week. Cake the other day to celebrate someone's 25th work anniversary (so he's been around here almost as long as me) and then some goodies sent to my department to celebrate IT week by one of our respiratory therapists who relies a lot on IT because she's a trainer as well as practicing.
