First time trying live octopus. Shit moves around in your mouth.

Enjoyed the experience but doubt I'll order it again. More on the blog.

Made some orange glazed chicken, with a nice orange sauce and rice with a bunch of different spices and herbs.

Turned out great!

Solix.. I have a question.

Why did you become a vegan? (aka blasphemy)

[Solix]

Partly cuz I gained a ton of weight over summer, but mainly to support my mom who, tho not overweight, has had some blood pressure/cholesterol problems as of late.

Her change is a lot more drastic tho: no more oils in excess of any kind (to saute, nuts, avocados, etc.).

I definitely miss the meat tho, trust.

[youkinorn2]

Aren't some nut, fish, and plant-based oils supposed to help lower bad cholesterol and blood pressure?

[fang]

THAT POST-WORKOUT

[vanilla wafer]

Made some chili

[tweeds]

Solix, props for supporting your mum. Maybe try to get hold of a dehydrator, helps with those snack cravings on a no-oil diet.

[dismalfuture]

what kind of chili is that? Looks like rice, chilis, water, cheese?

My dad is on the same thing, has high cholesterol, is vegan - I don't think it really helps when you go zero tolerance and vegan, the whole lot. Results for my dad haven't been that great and it's been like 5-10 years. Too extreme, IMO. By going vegan you shift the pendulum to the opposite, in order to get to the middle - but the reality is that your body craves what it used to be spoiled by, and you break down and replace it with something else. My dad eats snacks all the time, probably eats like 8 small things a day, that plus all the fake vegan stuff that is supposed to be simulating real food. It's not a very healthy lifestyle IMO.

That, and cholesterol is somewhat self-correcting, so by giving your body none, that seems a little dangerous as well. Gotta respect the self-correcting nature of the body.
