Says he lost it on a no-carb diet. He might be exaggerating, but it's still great to hear someone say it.

Do we have anyone in Iowa? The pictures were really sad to see. I tell you, I am always astounded by the power of water. We do our very best to control it with dams and levies but when water really wants to get some place, there is very little that can be done to stop it.

I hope for the best for all those people impacted by the situation. Floods from heavy rains have taken quite a toll in many places in the Midwest this week.

Quote:In Chicago, officials say more than 7 inches of rain fell early Saturday, inundating the sewer system and overwhelming waterways. Water covered portions of several Chicago interstates and the commuter train tracks that run along them, leading crews to divert traffic and call in bus shuttles. Portions of Interstate 290 west of downtown were closed for several hours.

I was searching for info on corn allergy as I have gluten and corn issues, among others, and ran across this blog, http://www.livingitupcornfree.com/2010_0...chive.html , talking about how US Wellness meats is using a corn based spray to kill bacteria when they butcher their beef. Wondering if anyone else has read or heard anything like this?

I know we are mostly concerned with carbs, or lack of them, on this forum, but many of us are also concerned with overall health, too.

I was suspecting corn or gluten in the processing/packaging of meats I purchase. Matter of fact, Dh and I had already discussed the sprays processors use to clean their tools and areas might be corn/gluten based as well as packaging. Now I have an idea of why I am having the skin reactions I am. More research in my future...]]> ----------------------------------------------------------------

On this last trip I bought the unsliced hunk of pork belly and last night, I roasted it. OMG! It is a completely different taste experience, PLUS half the price of the sliced version. I scored the rind and baked it at 325 for about 3 hours. Incredible! I know Diane has done it this way for awhile and I'm not sure why it took me so long, but this is now a favorite. DH loved it too (he is now down over 25 lbs btw....not exactly ZC, we are calling it "paleo").

Charles, we have to do a shopping day soon at the Asian market and my other little local meat place....bring your cart!]]>

I seem to be able to stick to ZC 100 percent for a month or two months at a time and then I cave to something that the minute before held no power over me. I want to blame it on hormones but that’s probably a cop-out. When I eat something I shouldn’t, it starts a downward spiral and it takes me a couple of days to get back on track. It’s ridiculous that I keep doing this as I feel so much better when I’m eating ZC. Within hours of eating carbs, my arthritis kicks back up and my fingers start aching. My back starts hurting. I don’t sleep soundly. My stomach immediately gets bloated and my mind gets foggy. It’s that quick. It’s obvious that carbs are not good for me mentally or physically.

I need to get control over this and make ZC my 100 percent WOE – all the time, no matter what. I can’t guarantee that this journal will be very interesting but I’d appreciate any words of advice, or even a good butt-kicking when needed. There are so many people here that are inspirational and I value all your opinions.

My serious commitment started yesterday and I had coffee (with a tad of cream and splenda – I’m working my way to just coffee/more often decaf), for lunch I had eggs fried in butter with a pinch of cheese and bacon and dinner was a thick ribeye. I started getting ancy for something while watching TV last night so had a piece of dried meat which was nice and chewy. No red wine passed my lips last night – victory! Smile I know I can do today and I bet I can do tomorrow, too.

Thanks for any and all support,
