New Year weight loss plans ???

Energy. My energy level has never been higher. In fact, when I
fall
off this diet (as I did at Montblack's over T-Giving, and at my
sister-in-laws over Xmas), I feel sluggish and dim. Aside from the
weight
loss and blood pressure correction, the main advantage of the fruit
diet is
that I feel much sharper after eating fruit then I do after eating a
big,
fatty meal.


I gonna give your diet a try for a few weeks to see how much I loose
and if I like it or not. I'm hovering around 2 bucks right now and I
think I should be around a buck fifty. I'll let you know how it turns
out.

If you like good apples (Golden Delicious are the most consistent, IMHO)
it's hard NOT to like this diet.

Of course, after reading how spicy you like your food, this whole fruit
thing might be too bland for you...

(I was raised on bland German-American food. Dad thought pizza was "foreign
food", and spaghetti was downright subversive. I don't think he ever ate
Mexican, not even once, and Asian food of any kind was completely out of the
question.... Meat....potatoes....meat.....potatoes....ad infinitum...for
74 years...)

lived in the 19th, 20th and the 21th century eating everything and
anything :^) I hope it is in the genes :^)

who were you talking about above that's been eating for meat and
potatoe for 74 years?

That was my Dad. Ate, smoked and drank anything he wanted -- and it killed
him pretty "young" (by modern standards) at age 74.

But, he *did* avoid spending his last years curled in the fetal position, as
his mother sadly did not. She lived to 93, but spent her last several
years in a coma -- a fate my Dad was determined to avoid.

Sorry to hear about your ma. It is a shame that she had to suffer and
also that your dad past away so young as you've said (by modern
standards) at age 74.

My granddad lived in the "third world" country eating homegrown/farm
raised food and smoking tobacco that he grew. There's something to be
said about organically grown/raised food huh? We, here in the US, are
comsuming factory raised chicken, beef... canned food, food with a
bunch of additives that we can't even pronounce. The cigarettes are
laced with ingredients to enhance flavor, to keep it burning
unattended...blah blah blah. All of this advance in science is killing
us.

Thailand, my granddad's part of Thailand, has been eating, smoking and
basically living the same way for the past four five thousand years.
Until only about eight-ten years ago did my granddad's farm had
plumbing, trucks, electricity...etc. When I left, we didn't even have
oil lamp, we gathered sap from a particular tree, mixed it with
crumbled dried out "mulch" looking pieces of wood, rolled them into
1.5" round logs wrapped in dried bana leave. That was our lantern.

My granddad was alert and kicking 'til the day he past away. I think
he just decided that it was enough. About seven or eight years ago, he
decided to go down to the edge of our farm and cut/pull weed around the
fence line. He contracted meat eating virus some how and lost about
four lbs of his left calf. It slowed him down alot and he didn't like
that. Last time I went to visit him '03 I put him in a cart and pulled
him with a scooter for a ride around the farm. Below is a picture of
our tobacco farm on the bank of the mekong river.


Shortly after I came back to the US, he past away. I think he held out
long enough for me to visit one last time. Tough old goat he was.

He *looks* tough. It's hard to look stately whilst sitting in the back of a
trailer, but somehow he pulled it off!

(BTW: It was my grand-mother that spent her last several years in a coma,
after a long life. My Mom followed my Dad's "no doctors-eat&smoke
anything-no exercise" way of life, and died at 76.)

Sorry about missing "your dad and your grandma" it was late last night
and I was tired but wasn't sleepy. You had clearly stated who they
were, I just didn't take in all that I read, due to fatigue I guess.

One more thing to add about my granddad, he died with all of his teeth
in tact. Dentist? what's a dentist? Dentists didn't come around to
hid part of the woods until he was about 85 or 90 years old. I
remember he used to clean his teeth with bamboo slivers and he'd brush
his teeth with dried coconut husk and mineral salt. His teeth were all
dark black, however, due to chewing on beetle nut. :^)
