Thank you friends. I'm feeling a bit old and decrepid but I'll probably last a few more years and even though I am all alone I'm feeling very happy.

Thank you Vic.

Well that's the thing, no one in My family has diabetes, not even in My late brothers family(or even in My ancestry, My great grandpa lived until He was 94), which is really all the family I have outside of 3 aging older cousins.

Then I'm doing ok, since I don't take in a lot of calories, My bread is 50 a slice instead of 200+ a slice($0.99 a loaf), peanut butter is 180 instead of 200+ and the turkey bologna is 70 a slice and I normally have BF lite mayo at 15 a serving, but I'm almost out of that for the moment, so I do without, My nephew won't go without mayo on a sandwich.

Just be aware that if you are eating white bread the starch is broken down into sugar during digestion. In fact digestion starts in the mouth as saliva contains the enzyme amylase which begins to break down your food as you chew. That is why white bread can taste sweet. If possible eat whole wheat or whole grain bread.

If possible eat whole wheat or whole grain bread.

There isn't much difference in flours as far as carbs are concerned but whole wheat is a better choice because the fiber would help slow down absorption into the system as well as the other advantages of fiber and the natural existing vitamins and minerals. After you get used to it, whole wheat flour can even have more flavor than white bread. My favorite grain supply house has some numbers to compare against.
Organic Ivory Wheat Flour
Organic Unbleached White flour
Organic Whole Wheat Flour
Unbleached White Flour
Whole Wheat Flour

I did experiments with wheat gluten bread to make something that was Atkin diet compatible but found that the all gluten wasn't very bread like. The loafs looked like bread out of the bread machine but were very rubbery when you cut into them or tried to eat it. I needed to add some wheat or soy flour in order to make it a little less tough but it did produce a really low carb bread.

Hello Friends and Happy Birthday Monday!!!

Sorry I forgot to weigh in last week. I enjoyed the company of guests through the Labor Day Weekend and I guess I got distracted.

Anyway, returning to the Battle of the Bulge, as they say...

Pudgy Little Raccoon Weigh-In for 09/08/14
165.8 lbs (AKA 75 kilograms; 69.5 grams)

I bought me a scale today for €16,65.

Well jump on them scales. Are they digital?

I went back to the gym this morning for the first time in two weeks. It was hard.

I did weigh myself and for reasons I can't explain due to the 24 hour a day food and alcohol binge that was my trip to San Francisco, I appear to have actually lost two pounds. I am wondering if due to food overload my internal organs just shut down in disgust and refused to digest any more.

Es you got that wrong. At least three pounds hoped over, when we said Good Bye.

@Julie, I hope you got that scale to keep your weight healthy.
