[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So what do you munch on, PP?  Considering a diet overhaul...love my wheat but weight loss has been impossible.  [/quote]

Tons of stuff!

I always have a nuts hanging around, popcorn, hummus with celery, GF chips, GF gingersnaps, tons of cold salads, banana and PB, Indian junk food (found at Asian groceries), and absolute ton of stuff. I find it pretty easy to eat GF, however, I do a ton of cooking and am militant about avoiding processed foods, so it was not that difficult. I still have my vices (see above).  I'm also trying to lose 10lbs to go from normal to thin and for that, unfortunately I need to actually reduce calories, which I'm not sure if I'm ready to commit to any amount of hunger.[/quote]

I'm confused. You are militant about avoiding processed foods but you eat GF chips and gingersnaps, and Indian junk food?  Do you make all of that stuff from scratch at home?[/quote]

These are not my normal snack foods.  Probably go through a bag of each every 2 months.  I consider that pretty militant considering these are the only processed foods I eat. I don't think many people could declare that they eat zero processed foods, unless they are living like the uncontacted tribes in the amazon.

[b]I'm quite unusual, in making my own yogurt, hummus, canning tomatoes for salsa and sauce, grinding my own meat, making jerky, making my own lunch meat, cold smoking my own salmon, making Kombucha and I have backyard chickens[/b]...so yes, I do eat processed foods, foods I process myself. I do not suggest that anyone try to live like this, I just happen to use food as my creative outlet and I truly enjoy the culinary arts.[/quote]

Do you have a job? Kids?[/quote]

Two kids and I work full time (as does my spouse). My way of eating is not for people who are unorganized and don't plan well.  For Jerky I do it maybe every 6 weeks. Salsa and sauce is once a year for a full day.  Meat grinding is only every few weeks ( bulk buy from farmers). The chickens are responsibility of the kids.  They feed and gather eggs every morning.

I do a lot of bulk cooking/sunday meal prep. My weeknights are very easy. We also eat quite simply.[/quote]
