Question for the health food folks

[Cat]

Yeah i've been wanting my own bread maker for a while.

I don't feel cutting all carbs is healthy at all. Sure cut the overly processed crap, but your body needs carbs. Whole grains, veggies, etc. Depriving your body of those can't be healthy.

My problem is eating. I exercise all the time, but i eat like a hog. Its all will power. Ive been "stating my diet tomorrow" for about 2 years. Ill get there eventually.

[Zod]

Yeah, after your first heart attack

[pstall]

the thing about carbs is how it produces the rush that it does and the signals it sends to the pancreas. sneaky fat build up from too many carbs.

im not saying atkins diet or whatever but people do need to understand the carb factor.

that's why i started with keeping things simple and easy to remember.

[Jase]

without carbs you make it really hard on your body to synthesize proteins.

[Dpantherman]

I don't eat THAT bad.

If people would cut out chips, fries, and soda they probably would lose 20-30 pounds over the year.

[Zcustom]

I'll admit soda is my problem.

I probably only consume about 1800 calories of actual food each day.

I cut out fast food, soda, fried foods, & most red meat. The weight loss side of things always seems to come up, but my favorite thing about eating healthy--you can feel better both physically and mentally.

go without. simple whole wheat recipe i use from the james beard cookbook:

2 packages of yeast

2 cups warm water

1 tbl salt

2 tbl veg oil

3 cups whole wheat flour

3 cups all purpose flour

1/4 honey (optional)

proof the yeast with water. mix in dry ingredients gradually adding flour. knead until smooth. cover and allow to rise for one hour or until doubled in bulk. punch down the dough and knead again for three minutes. cut in half. roll each half into a 14x7 rectangle. roll from 7 inch side. place each in a well buttered 8x4 or 9x5 bread pan. cover and allow to rise for another hour. sprinkle loaves with whole wheat flour and bake at 375 for 40-45 (convection oven) or 45-50 minutes (standard oven). yummmmm.
