I know I spent a LONG time discussing why we needn’t keep the OT food laws, and I know it’s been a while since I posted anything of my theology of food.<\/p>\n
But I haven’t forgotten it or given it up, I promise.<\/p>\n
Instead, I’m at a node and am struggling to figure out which branch to follow. <\/p>\n
Except that I just figured out where I need to go next. Yep. Okay. Look forward to hearing about how your appetite can rob you.<\/p>\n
In other news, I recently found a second-hand copy of my all-time favorite diet book.<\/p>\n
If you’re interested in losing weight and come to me for a book recommendation, I’m going to point you to Barbara Rolls’ Volumetrics<\/i>. <\/p>\n
Volumetrics is firmly rooted in science, is practical for everyday whole-family use, and (most of all?) allows you to still enjoy food without feeling deprived.<\/p>\n
Back in my days in residence hall foodservice, I often amazed my coworkers with how much I ate. How did I stay thin, they wondered, when I ate a loaded plate plus two cereal bowls and a small bowl worth of food at every meal? <\/p>\n
Volumetrics. Honestly.<\/p>\n
I’m sold on the science–and its practical application.<\/p>\n
Of course, with all the running I’ve been doing lately (that would not be the physical activity version of running), I haven’t had much opportunity to eat anything but (bleh) fast food.<\/p>\n
Today I ordered my absolute favorite, rave-about-it-all-the-time Apple Pecan Chicken Salad (the half size is all you need) from Wendy’s.<\/p>\n
And I was disappointed.<\/p>\n
It didn’t taste like I remember it tasting (last week). I’m hoping that the problem is just dysgeusia (altered perception of taste) related to either the shingles or the medicine I’m taking for the shingles. <\/p>\n
‘Cause it would really stink if my favorite healthy fast food stopped being good for good.<\/p>\n
And–if it happens to be a dysgeusia problem, I could always try zinc supplementation to see if that’d help. (Interesting research about zinc and a potential role in taste. Very tentative at present, but when you’ve got completely unexplained dysgeusia, you’re willing to grasp at straws to stop the weight loss–but I should stop talking about work. Anyhow, I’d love to see more research on zinc and taste\/flavor perception.)<\/p>\n
So, what’re you eating these days? Do you have a “go-to” diet that you’ve been successful with (or that you’ve heard about and have questions regarding)? I LOVE talking food.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" I know I spent a LONG time discussing why we needn’t keep the OT food laws, and I know it’s been a while since I posted anything of my theology of food.
