The Coffee House

[Frank F.]

supplements must be taken with regular exercise and diet.

I find that a balanced diet of Tennessee's finest whiskey, McDonald's Big Mac with fries, the occasional bag of Krystal cheeseburgers, Krispy Kreme donuts, and lots of coffee may not guarantee I live longer, but I'm pretty d*** sure I'll die happy.

I'm with you on the Tennessee sippin' whiskey and the coffee! Haven't had a burger made out of any kind of land animal for 20+ years. I do still eat fish occasionally, and sometimes that comes in salmon burger form. I do enjoy a doughnut from time to time (I'm in Dunkin' Donuts territory, though) but my real devils are the savory, not the sweet, temptations. Basically just about any combinations of carbs and cheese, and I am in troooouuuuble!

I don't know if it's a good thing or a bad thing, then, that I've recently discovered that I'm getting less tolerant of cheese. I've always been somewhat lactose-intolerant, but mostly what affected me was milk, ice cream, and really rich cheeses like brie. It seems lately, however, I am starting to react to more cheeses and to smaller amounts of cheese, and I feel noticeably better when I keep the cheese intake pretty limited. I suppose it's helpful for my waistline but it's so so so sad for the rest of me!

If that is so you should try some enzyme supplements when you eat cheese.... ;-)

But really: go on a holiday to Switzerland and eat the best fondues and Raclettes of your life. Cheesy and not US cheese, real Suisse made cheese!!!!

I'm on the wrong diet plan...

Visual of my diet plan ...

The Supplements I do not plan to take forever, although it is better for my body than taking corticosteroids forever.

The whole plan is to get me off immune suppressors for good. I try to repair my gut using Raphael Kellman's plan. A temporary measure for long term health stability.

Yes, I think his rich-NYC-guy-perspective limits the usefulness of his plan. If I can only get half of the food stuff in my organic food markets and supermarkets and only half of the supplements in my pharmacy the whole thing is a tad questionable.

BUT: there are some US pharmaceutical companies selling worldwide also through amazon.de. This way I can bypass the pharmacy and get the stuff in good quality and cheaper.

This day four of seven weeks. I will tell you if it helps my condition and if it heals my auto immune issues.

PS: now that Amazon bought WholeFoods you should be able to get anything and everything everywhere in the US. If you can afford it

The wife and I have been on a bagel and cream cheese kick lately.

Can I send my wife to visit???? She gets on the bagel and cream cheese kicks - I can tolerate them with enough cream cheese. Shame those little tubs aren't 3x larger

My wife barely puts any cream cheese on. If I can see the bagel through the layer of cream cheese, the layer is too thin!

She does it the way I do it.

It's annoying as hell to have one's peripheral brain lecturing you while you try to enjoy something clearly not in your best interests. So I try to shut it down with these little tricks, when these goodies are in front of me. I have to just admit that the best thing for me is just to avoid them, so I don't become annoyed either way - by giving in to temptation or trying to moderate said temptation! Just shrug and find something else. blah!

It depends on how you want to feel afterwards. If you're best idea of life is being a stranded whale on a couch in front of a TV set it is just the way to go.

If you love to be sportive active sexy another way of feeding your inhabitants is preferable.

My goal is to be a happy father and friend and husband as well as a creator of books, pictures, houses and music that change the life of people savouring them.

I forgot: no potatoes of any kind for three weeks. Chick peas and Jerusalem Artichoke as allowed alternative are not so bad.

No grains, no soy, no sugar, no potatoes, no dairy, no eggs for three weeks.

I try to starve my unhealthy inhabitants to death. A new concept and on a very firm scientific base.

MIL's viewing is Sunday, the internment is on Tuesday; we leave to deliver Lazy-Lobster to Maine after the internment. We're probably going to take the cross sound ferry and stay around new London / Mystic Tuesday night.

I'll probably still be at the hospital with my wife and new child Tuesday and Wednesday, but let me know if you need any local area knowledge!

I am not sure of that. Depending on what makes you happy. I found many of the things that are generally considered making happy like sex and drugs and Rock'n'Roll are nice, but after a while they make you tired and get boring.

Frank, my Rock'n'Roll days have been replaced by Country Western, Bluegrass, and Oldies stations. The only drugs in my life are those prescribed by my doctor, and the sex ......gentleman don't tell.

According to my last checkup I'm still healthy as a horse (except for the d*** Asthma). This past week I've logged close to 15 miles of hiking, and still managed to consume most of "my" major food groups. I'm 67 and have outlived both parents, and both grandfather's. I'm not knocking your healthy diet, if it works for you, so be it. For me I just reached a point where I decided that I wanted to live on my terms.

What's the basis for this again? If I remember correctly, you posted a few links before: one was to a forum and one was to a paper that didn't really discuss the diet. I'm interested in reading the scientific basis for certain foods killing off very specific, targeted microorganisms in your body. Could you please link me to it again?

Hey, here's a crazy thought: cheese is cheese, no matter where it's made and no matter if someone believes it is superior or not. It's still going to affect me in the same way and I'm really not looking to add supplements when simply limiting my intake is the obvious solution.

For the record, I don't like Swiss cheese. And yes, I have had very good European cheese. However, if I feel like splurging, I have plenty of local handmade cheeses made at farms within 50 miles of me to choose from, and they will be just as delicious.

Your insistence that something is better because it's European is quite tiresome.

Hey, congrats! Did I miss an announcement? Or is this your announcement? Either way, woot!! (Forgive me - it's Friday, I'm exhausted, am starting allergy season, and haven't had enough coffee yet this morning :/ )

Not yet! Imminently, though. She needs a c-section and it's scheduled for Monday morning, but it could happen sooner!

Let's face facts: Cheese comes in 3x3" squares, 1/16" thick, and individually wrapped in cellophane.

I feel great, actually. How you read someone having a bagel with limited cream cheese = a stranded whale on a couch in front of a TV is beyond me.

Bully for you. As long as you keep things realistic, eh?

How can it be this close already?! So happy for you guys!


Happy Friday, hosers! It's been a long, hot heat around here. I'm so ready for FALL!

I've been ready for fall since spring ended!

Good luck! I wish her as speedy and painless a delivery as is humanly possible
