13 Writing Withdrawal Symptoms

The longer I’ve gone since writing, the more I stare into space. I’ve clocked myself at 10 minutes in the […]
Flaky
This new diet I’m on has me eating some odd things. For instance, I’ve learned to bake slabs of the glop that you get from boiling flaxseed into a tasty kind of cracker. It makes a pretty good snack if you can get over the slight hint of slime. I’m eating a lot more fish. A LOT more. And nowhere near as much beef. I’m still buying weird vegetables and eating more salad. I’m getting used to it all. Still, […]

13 More Diet Facts
Hey, I’m learning a lot. Mostly about fat, but I guess that’s to be expected. 1. The serving sizes listed on food packaging have nothing to do with nutritionist recommendations.

The formulas looks like this: Fat grams you ate = Amount you ate / Amount they claim is a serving X Fat grams per serving. One of […]
13 Diet Discoveries
I’m on a group diet. Sounds weird, but it’s working for me. It’s a program for the prevention of diabetes that my doctor recommended. Here’s some of what I’ve learned. 1.
