I don't like cherry tomatoes. I prefer regular tomatoes.

I like to eat chopped tomatoes straight from the tin.

i'm learning to tolerate low-sodium eating.

I'm extremely picky about what I eat. I like tamari sauce on noodles best.

Lard is good for you.
I don't care what anyone says.

lard [like any saturated fat] helps the body make testosterone.

^^Blek! No thanks.

French Toast made with gluten free bread, rice milk, and cinnamon is yum-yum.
Quinoa is the best!

Normal things I don't like:Chocolate added to anythings except my mom's homemade brownies is absolutely revolting.Bananas are gross so are raisins. Even the smell of bacon makes me have to leave to room. I hate pancakes and waffles. Apparently people enjoy nutella but I have never liked it. I hate orange juice. I can't stand olives, ranch dressing, onions. Also I don't like milk I am fine with dairy products just not milk if it's plain. I can stand chocolate milk for some reason which is odd becuse I usually don't like chocolate.


Weird things I like:
Seaweed, mochi (especially with red bean paste), raw kale and raw broccoli.

That was all I could think of now but I am sure there are more.

seaweed is excellent

Do you soak your quinoa before you eat it to remove some of the saponins?

Why do most of the anti-psychotics have weight gain as a side effect? Why do I have to do better on anti-psychotics? I would have beer and bratwurst for every meal if I could.

if you don't mind, can you tell me if the weight gain is due to increased appetite or reduced metabolism?

There's definitely some increased appetite, more with some meds than others, but, I have been told they can amp up the blood sugar, too, so messing with hormones? I'm not sure. Then again, most of them make you want to sleep every spare second, so it could be entirely lack of exercise.

from what I've found, increased blood sugar ties in with increased insulin whose purpose here is to convert that excess blood sugar to stored fat, hence the weight gain. so it sounds like it is wrecking your sugar metabolism. the only ways around that are to strictly limit dietary sugars [any food that is white] and add daily vigorous exercise of at least half an hour duration and intense enough to make you sweat. that is what I do, it is the only way I have of making my clothes fit. i'm too cheap to buy new ones.

Offal isn't awful.
Liver and kidneys are quite delicious.

on that poetic subject-
