Musings on anything. |
 My blog was filled up. I'm too lazy to clean it out. So I started a new one. |
| You probably have heard it said that on a healthy diet, if it tastes good, spit it out. That may be true. No processed foods. I am addicted to processed foods, like pot pies, and instant noodle dinners. No, no, no. And no Chik Fil' A. They used to say no Big Macs, but apparently the nugget has moved them down the list. No sugary drinks, no carbonated drinks, no salt added. Carry your own low sodium dressings to restaurants. No fried foods. No Chinese food unless you are really picky when ordering brown, un-buttered rice and avoid soy sauce dishes. And no guacamole anywhere! How long can you stand unsweetened oatmeal every morning? I think I like pot pies because they have gravy, at least the store bought ones do. Gravy, cheese, and chocolate are my favorite foods, just not all at once. They are not allowed any longer. Woe is me. I have to restrict my bread intake. Skipping butter and mayo is not a problem. I had already cut back on meat, with only the occasional slice of bacon. but the bacon is out now. Even chicken and turkey from the deli because of the sodium content. And if I indulge in the occasional dessert or treat when visiting, I must exercise immediately. Not to burn off calories, but to fire up the sugar content. You don't want sugar stored in your kidneys after taking a lot of heart medicines (years worth-I was never advised that I was trading a functioning heart for damaged kidneys). So now I'm drinking mostly water, eating boring meals, and exercising a lot for an old woman. I guess there's always a trade-off when it comes to medicine. Very little comes without side effects. Thank goodness smoking and alcohol were never a problem for me. |
