Im going back to the 5/2. I think it is more effective in the long run 

Trial and error- it’s the best way,right 

Btw - i have some interesting info to share about evoo if you are interested… 

Well, it is what it is for sure. My body is constantly on the defensive lol. Sure, always interested in food and weight loss. Thanks! 

per Ancel Keys- who many consider the Godfather of the Mediterranean diet. Olive does not really confer any benefits in terms of cardiovascular health .Except that it preferable to butter ,lard, and veg. oils, which may have negative effects. If you are going to use it-use EVOO. This is where the oil is pressed directly from the olive. Anything else is olive oil which is diluted with other 'stuff', or further processed. The kicker -there is not rigorous testing of labels and one study found that over 75 % of EVOO's were not , in fact, evoo!  

I'll look him up. Med diet is one of the best health wise in my opinion. Hey that's crazy that food manufacturers are held to such low standards for labeling. I only use extra virgin (well, as labeled lol), and organic. Or coconut oil on occasion. Butter hardly ever. The rest I dont use. When baking there are plenty of other oil substitutes. Hey, someone here (stomachmonkeys) turned me onto a great research website if you're interested. I love it. https://consensus.app/search/ .  

Omg - why'd you do that to me Windy. You Know I'm going to sign in to that website! After I get done these +8000 references. https://nutritionfacts.org/book/how-not-to-age/citations/ I'll be busy looking up stuuf I won't eat thus lose weight!! LOLOL Gracias mi amiga 

Well, Tj. Because I was hoping you'd go thru the entire site and point out the worthwhile parts to me. Yeah?🤣 Youre welcome 😁 

Ok windy, I'm going to turn it into a quiz. The subject, protein. There is such a thing as THE perfect food which has the perfect amount of protein for humans, fine tuned over millions of years of evolution. What is it?  

wow! I'll take a "few" 

Oh I see how you are! lol. okay Im just going to take a stab at this... rice and beans? I know they are a complete protein together.. but you say THE perfect food so prolly not it. Must be some vegetable or grain... do TELL!!! 

Nice drop! 

The agri mafia strikes again!!! How infuriating since extra virgin olive oil costs 3 times as much as regular. 🫠 

Come into the light mami! No oil!! 

It’s human breast milk, windy 

of course we can't use that but it gives a marker for how much protein we need. Ideal body weightX4 /10.  

Well of course, but okay you got me there. 😶 Just did that calculation, man I must be spot on if that is the case. Actually I am usually well over. Interesting I wld have thought it wld be more daily protein
