Pizza is a magical food which lends itself to almost anything, A friend of mine invented Mexican pizza: refried beans instead of pizza sauce, corn, olives, tomatoes, onions, and corn chips. :yumyum: Ole!

No taco meat? What?

The HFCS way more so than the cheap sugar cane, a lot of our food with added sugar has added corn sweetener, not "real" sugar.


Also, here is the list of acceptable things to pair pineapple with on pizza: Ham, Bacon (Canadian or non-Canadian varieties), certain kinds of Peppers. End of list. Pineapple and Spinach is right out. Spinach can acceptably be combined with other vegetables or with Chicken, but Pineapple + Spinach is an absolute no.

It simply would not have been possible. Sugar is in literally everything here. Including things such as *checks kitchen* beans and soup.

Baked beans from the can have always had a lot of sugar. I don't love them, but man are they popular. It's why ketchup is good too, I think.

The dietary difference between refined purified cane sugar and refined purified corn sugar is vanishingly small. But yes, eating less sweeteners seems to be a pretty good indicator of being healthier. I give up most meats for lent because it's way the hell easier than giving up sugars. You wouldn't be able to share anyone's food or eat at anyone's house, pretty much. With meat, you still can by picking bits out and eating sides. I mean hell, even fast food is super convenient for meat removal these days. Still not usually healthy tho.

Haha so this flies in the face of my last rave but there was a point just a few years ago where I had a solid 2-3 inches (5 - 7.5 cm) of fat around my belly, in addition to a deep layer everywhere else.

Now, the belly fat is about a quarter inch (~.6 cm) deep at its thickest and my upper torso and arms arms are starting to get ripped. I was worried about the fact that I have gained about 5 pounds (2 kg) in the last few months but nearest I can tell, most if not all of that was muscle gain. My wife commented on it recently and I've been noticing the changes too. I have never been this fit though I was once skinnier. One long term problem that I am worried about is my knees because if I get rid of the rest of the fat and am still over 250 pounds (110 kg) then I think I'll wind up with very bad back and knee problems as an old guy. But one problem at a time. :)

Either you're about 7 feet tall or have muscles like Arnie in his prime surely? I weigh about 30kg less than that and still have around 2 inches of belly fat (though not sure how you're measuring that exactly).
 
I'm planning my wedding. Only shoes are left.

Oh, and bridge is great. I have been planning to go to a bridge tournament.

I'm an artist again. Recorded a new song. Been writing/drawing daily. Working out as well. Meeting a lot of great people.

I consider writing a book on sex education. So I can keep my mouth shut about that here :D

it's great to hear! I'd love to learn bridge.
 
My sister had her wedding ten years ago on May 16th, in Canada. She had an outdoor wedding, and the temperature was 25 F, and it was miserable. I was her MoH, and wore a skirt with sandals: I thought I was going to freeze my toes off.

My wedding was last year on July 6th, here in Michigan. It was nice and warm, but it rained off and on all day, which spoiled my party.

April 4th is coming up close! What is weather like in Latvia at that time of year? What are your plans, are you having a large party? Indoor or outdoor, etc?

6'3". I measured the fat pad by finger poke. There's still a lot more fat around my thighs that I'm carrying, that hasn't changed much. I'm definitely no Arnold but I am having trouble with the sleeves on a couple of my tighter shirts. :D
 
Oh, well I definitely can't poke my finger in 2 inches, but then it's hard to judge since everything under the fat is squishily organic anyway.

That's what enabled the rave in the first place - it's only recently that I could poke myself and feel anything but fat.

And yet somehow, inexplicably, despite being on CFCOT nearly every day since then, I/we(?) still appear to have missed seeing any photos of you in your wedding-dress... ;)

This is a sore point for me, with my "wonderful" brother-in-law screwing things up .. doesn't belong in Raves though lol.

@hobbsyoyo in my experience, thigh/hip fat is practically impossible to get rid of :(

I think I prefer to do so in person, but the couple clubs I've found are open at times I am busy somehow.

That's also really soon! Hopefully everything turns out splendidly :D

Good luck you. Partnership in Bridge can turn to partnership in other things :) wink.

Bridge is great. It's like chess, but with cards.
