I always eat red potato. I add first cold pressed olive oil, and bake in the oven. Along with that copper salmon or silver salmon, I add olive oil and garlic and bake also. With that kale , spinach, goat yugort, and fresh fava beans. When it comes to eggs, I do eat 2 egg (cage free), every 47 days. I do not buy them from regular super market becuase they bleach the eggs. Along with that and the most important is the excercise. I walk 18 hours a week. I do walk after every meal. Thank you.

If you strive for 4700 mg of potassium per day and forget about calories, you will have better weight control. That's not a myth. — Anonymous	04/13/2010 - 7:37pm
So much bad information has come out of so-called expert sources in the past few years, information that has contributed to our epidemic of obesity. I'm trying to forget everything the "nutritionists" have said and am trying to go back to the way my grandparents ate: lots of fresh vegetables and some fresh fruit and nuts. Lots of greens and salads. Poultry or fish no more than once a week. No beef or pork or lamb at all. — Anonymous	04/13/2010 - 7:36pm
If DARK chocolate is good for you then eating twice as much MILK chocolate should do the same for you. RIGHT?????? — Anonymous	04/13/2010 - 7:27pm
I am gluten free... it is hard but I can't live any other way now. I have heard gluten is not good for anyone, but is poison for many... I am trying to convert friends/family, so would love evidence that gluten is not good for anyone. — Anonymous	04/13/2010 - 7:05pm
Interesting but all the pesticides that bind into the skin of the potato make it unhealthy enough that medical doctors advise against eating the skin. Since most of the nutrients in a potato are in the skin, this is tantamount to saying potatoes are bad for you. — Anonymous	04/13/2010 - 6:58pm
fruit first thing in the morning spiking your glycemic index? — Anonymous	04/13/2010 - 6:38pm
Very confused about high GI foods. Since when di brown rice or carrots or watermelon become "bad " foods? — Anonymous	04/13/2010 - 6:13pm
That's absurd. You can try to turn nutrition on its head for shock value. But that's the only value I see. Potatoes are one of the few vegetables that should be avoided at all costs. Red meat is so harmful to your immune system it should be immediately apparent. Peanut butter either low fat or natural has no redeeming asset. Dark chocolate is the new black and black it is. It is still candy and like all candy is poison. — Anonymous	04/13/2010 - 6:12pm
In the first place I didn't believe the food nuts about cholesterol. I have eaten eggs every breakfast with bacon, oats, pancakes, and coffee since I can remember eating. I don't eat sea food - lobster, shrimp, crabs etc, to me they are the cockroaches of the sea. I grew up on the Mississippi river and ate a lot of catfish which they say is bad for you. When my doctor gives me a prescription I ask what it is for, and go get a natural medecine. Case in point at one job I had I noticed my side swelling up and a pain like knife moveing down in my left side. I figured it was a kidney stone, I called three doctors they said I would ned a operation and go right to the hospital, I called a natural doctor, he told me to get he biggest botle of Welchs grape juice and drink all of as quick as I could which I did I lived 30 miles from the job, I drank all of the juice before I got out of town. About 20 mile down the road I had to stop and pee, It seemed like 50 gallons, I went onthe side of the road it was dark anyway, I felt the stones moveing out and my side went down like abusted ballon. I drink a regular serving of Welchs juice and have had no trouble with my kidneys,doctors tell it wont work. Think abou it cured it for 2.59 no operation. I have had several things like that, which is why I don't trust the AMA or doctors. THank you — Anonymous	04/13/2010 - 5:26pm
