Watcha eating?

[dmccarty]

Just had this immaculate morsel for lunch in DFW. The "Locals Only" - made like a Texas burger should be! Jalepenos, American cheddar, onions, mustard, bacon and most importantly...NO MAYO!

Finished her off with a tasty Pearl Light! (Yes, it still exists!)

Off-Site Kitchen in Dallas. Very highly recommended!

That burger looks very good. Real good. But let me get this right...

You ate that burger and decided to ease up on the calories by drinking Pearl Light? :confused3::laughing::laughing::laughing:

And leaving off the Mayo? :laughing::laughing::laughing:

I guess a calorie saved is a calorie earned or some such.

Later,
Dan

I can't even tell if there's a burger under all that, but it sure looks good. :licking:

Actually, Pearl Light only has 68 calories!

And mayo ain't right on anything!

Hold the mustard please.... and in the immortal words of Harry Callahan..."Nobody and I mean NOBODY puts ketchup on a hotdog"

:laughing: I always remember Dirty Harry saying that when I'm about to douse a dog with some, and feel a bit guilty.

Glad you saved some calories by drinking a light beer!

I think both the foodies and health nuts can agree that is a wonderful combination.

Foodies or health nuts :rolleyes? I just know that menu is a favorite in this house. Wife, son, daughters all love lightly fried striped bass filets! Of course the old man loves to catch them AND eat them. Wife makes outstanding slaw!

Here is a brief review paper that I think puts the various diets, including Ornish's, into reasonable perspective. http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC1312230/pdf/bumc0013-0351.pdf

A Quote from the above 2000 reference:

"On average, Ornish痴 patients lost 24 lbs in a year and had a37% reduction in LDL cholesterol levels (HDL cholesterol lev-els were unchanged). What is most provocative about this diet/lifestyle program is that there was a 91% reduction in angina fre-quency and a significant degree of angiographically measuredcoronary stenosis regression. It is unclear to what degree otherlifestyle modifications such as exercise and stress reduction, whichare integral parts of the Ornish program, play in these results.Based upon these favorable findings, the National Institutes ofHealth is embarking upon a multimillion-dollar study of theOrnish diet vs bypass surgery in patients with coronary disease. "

It has been 13 years, I wonder if the results are out on the multimillion-dollar study by the National Institutes of Health.

I do know the information in the article about fish oil (now having no effect) has been modified after a large and long study.
