Update XIX: Melancholy and the Infinite Napping

[Keystone Phil]

...has anyone dared to ask how The Diet will be affected this Thursday?

Like Paul said, I'm not going to think about the diet on Thanksgiving Day or Christmas Day.  Tomorrow night will be kind of tough with our all church Thanksgiving Dinner, but since it is not a holiday, I will try to spare myself too much.

What did Christ eat on His birthday? Nothing. How about you follow His example as you celebrate His birth.

[Joe Biden 2020]

Bushie,

Consider getting your protein intake from more non-meat sources since the meat sources you eat are so horrific and unhealthy (bottom-of-the-barrel/cow ground beef that's probably 90% fat; chicken coated in grease, batter and salt derived from a chicken that met its grim fate in a Heartland processing facility getting ripped apart by overweight schmucks not terribly different from yourself).

Being an Ay-rab, I often simply use hummus in lieu of meat - today my lunch was fresh vegetables with hummus, and an apple. Lentils are another very versatile option.

Is your brother a Fat like you?

I am not going vegetarian or less meat.  That one is out.

My brother just retired from 20 years in the US Navy.  No, he's not a fat.  If anything, he could probably stand to put on a bit.

[Joe Biden 2020]

What will you have for thanksgiving dinner?

Turkey, both white and dark meat
Mashed Potatoes
Stove top stuffing
Green Beans
Corn
Gravy
Dinner Rolls
Iced Tea

Pumpkin Pie
Lemon Meringue Pie
Pecan Pie

For Christmas substitute ham instead of turkey.  All the sides and desserts are the same.

Ha!  You're funny!!

The beef is probably 30% fat prior to cooking.  Thats why restaurant burgers are always tastier than homemade.

Bushies problem is a lack of exercise and too many simple carbs.

Try this Jeff: eat all the turkey you can stomach.  Have one small scoop of anything starchy (stuffing, potatoes, corn, bread, etc).

You can even drench the turkey in gravy.  But you'll have eaten a high protein, high fat, low carb Thanksgiving dinner and no doubt will have still enjoyed it very much.

I'd like to see him cut out carbs entirely and watch the weight fall off, but I know he won't do that or diet for that matter. I'm not saying diet in thanksgiving, but thinking Golden Corral is a healthy alternative just makes me lolololol

I posted some links to healthy places in Tulsa; he ignored them. He really refuses to actually fundamentally change his lifestyle. He thinks by just rearranging the ratio of Braums to Golden Corral he eats that'll be enough.

Yet again, you say you're going to diet and then proceed to add a bunch of caveats that make it totally worthless.

Not going to cut back on meat...not going to change anything about Thanksgiving/Christmas...still no mention of any exercise of any kind...having a Quarter Pounder is perfectly fine because you skipped the fries...

...so basically you've done jack sh*t. You're not fooling anyone.

Christ had breast milk on his birthday... And Bushie is already childlike enough.

That actually sounds delicious!!  I may do that!

Yes Bushie isn't interested in dieting. He knows it and so do I. He doesn't know the first thing about eating healthy because he's lived his entire life in Oklahoma where no one knows how to eat properly and of you try to diet, people will think you're sick or a gay.

It doesn't help Bushie has the pallate of a child and only likes burgers, fries and soda.

Like this place looks freaking delicious. Like better than a lot of the food I can find in NYC delicious. Why doesn't he try it for dinner tonight?

[Joe Biden 2020]

C'mon guys, there's nothing wrong with pigging out and enjoying yourself on holidays, especially holidays known for mega-feasts like Thanksgiving and Christmas, as long as you behave yourself the rest of the year.  It's two days out of the year you can eat like a fatso and have no regrets.  One also does not have to go vegetarian to eat healthier.  Red meat is not bad if eaten in moderation.

That actually looks gross to me.

My suggestion is that you should rebalance your diet to include more protein while keeping fat about the same and cutting back on carbs.

Turkey, white meat or dark, with little or no skin (a little bit is okay...) is basically perfect food for someone trying to eat a healthier diet.

And if you drink your iced tea unsweetened and you enjoy it... KEEP DRINKING THAT.

What I am doing that you mentioned is no different than what our very own King has recommended and "approved" in previous seasons of the Update.

Once in a while, I will put a small packet of Splenda in my tea if I'm in the mood, but I do not like already sweetened tea, nor do I like real sugar in my tea.

Except that you don't behave yourself the rest of the year and you don't eat anything in moderation. You don't get to "cheat a little" when your entire life you've been playing on Easy Mode.

It's two days out of the year you can eat like a fatso and have no regrets. 

And your excuse for the other 363 days?

No excuse.

This zilch really is infuriating, frustrating and so easily hateable.

My recommendation is that you can eat wherever you want as long as what you eat hasfruits and vegetables other than iceberg lettuce. Bushie hasn't picked up on the latter part of my statement.  Until he does we can send him to vegan joint and he'll walk out eating only pasta.

Hey Jeff, go outside and play.

What the hell is 'Skip Bo'?  Its name implies healthy exercise, but such a thought is silliness.
