My gf asked me who the football players were and I said "the Ottawa RedBlacks". She replied "they couldn't decide?"

I'm having a bowl of red mashed potatoes, w/ the skins on, with onions, coconut milk, garlic, and bits of veggie patty on top

Nope. Wheat is good carbohydrates. Mars bars are bad carbohydrates.

And not all cereals have wheat in them. Oatmeal doesn't have wheat in it.

Wouldn't an increased blood sugar burn more calories?

Look up insulin sensitivity and insulin response.

Oatmeal is good.
Wheat is "bad" depending on where you stand on the gluten argument.

Tapioca starch is also tasty for use as wraps... The gf introduced me to that since it's apparently common to do with breakfast in Brazil.

Spiking blood sugar is a broscience trick for gains since insulin is one of the most anabolic hormones in the body. But generally increased sugar means that it goes to fat stores if you aren't burning it off.

Sounds good, could use bacon though

You base wheat being good on what? And no, the glycogen is stored in your body and that is what eventually turns you into a fatty. Bread does more harm than a Mars bar. Bread has some nice **** like fibre and protein which is not present in Mars bars. Do some real research on the effects of modern wheat on the human body, and you'll never want to eat it again.

Bread sucks. Im not talking about that.

Wheat is good carbohydrates based on the carbs being fibre and not sugar.

Veggie burgers are the best tasting burgers Ive ever had.

i didn't like the veggie burger at big rig. sounds real good and almost is, but too much something in there.

If wheat were pure fibre it would be the key to wait loss

Veggie burgers are good if they're made fresh. But since that's really tough to access all the time then Boca Burgers work for me.

Since I got into the Gardenin beefless tips I then saw the veggie burgers and the chicken parm. My experience was somewhat tainted due to my freezer setup. Typically when you get veggie burgers they're frozen but separated. Somehow my bag had all 4 burgers stuck together and I WAS FOOKING HUNGRY so I threw them in the microwave, which made them soft on the outside but still frozen in the middle, and eventually it turned out to be a big mess. Chicken was not great as it was small in portion and shrunk considerably in the nuker.

I'll have to try them again and let you know. The beefless tips are definitely awesome tho.

Beef stew sounds so good. Haven't had that in awhile.

lol @ "I'm meat-free"

 

[Icelevel]

i like the gardein and sol burgers best of the ones i've tried just wanted to know how they compare to the boca.

anyway, 3 other related veg items i would recommend,

melt those slices on the burger while it's cooking and you should get to liking it pretty quick.

I've had the tofurky hot dogs and didn't like them. I realize it's difficult to get this in a veggie dog but I really miss the crisp snap of biting into a hot dog.

Vegenaise is awesome tho - and it contains less saturated fat & cholesterol per serving than regular mayo.

Vegetarians are just lying to themselves when they buy stuff like that

Any non-meat posts should be banned from HF.

I don't know what id do without meat. Meat is my life
