I also call this my “emergency fudge” because it’s so simple. Cocoa, confectioner’s sugar, butter and vanilla for a base, nuked about a minute. You can add cinnamon, peanut butter, nuts, or even coconut if you like. I just like it smooth so I added a big heaping spoonful of creamy peanut butter to this recipe: http://allrecipes.com/recipe/gayes-microwave-fudge/
You need to make sure it’s really stiff, so I only used a splash of milk.
Who are you quoting??
I’m on the “common sense” diet. “K.I.S.S. diet” also works. The “nothing is unhealthy in moderation diet” is pretty good, too.
Paleo + gluten-free. In theory, strict paleo should be gluten-free, since you don’t eat grains. I will eat gluten-free grains to some extent, however.
This. Didn’t vote, ovo-lacto-vegetarian. Maybe half the people who ask me assume I might eat seafood of some kind. No.
Most of the time I just stick to huge amounts of vegetables with a bit of protein of some description. And a few fruits here and there. I just try to avoid starches and sugars. So no potato, rice or grains.
That’s about 90 percent of the time. The other 10 percent I just eat whatever. On those days I’ll eat bread or pizza or have noodles in the stirfry. Or just eat plain junk.
I have discovered that getting starches and sugars out of my diet reduced my hunger by an enormous amount, Which is kind of funny/stupid as, decades ago, I stopped eating breakfast because if I had cereal at 7am I was ravenous by 10, if I ate nothing I didn’t get hungry until lunch time.
Calorie-controlled (1500 per day), gluten-free and lowish-carb where practical. I don’t eat pasta/potatoes/bread/etc at home, but if I’m eating out, I’m more relaxed (then regret it the next morning).
Well, I voted the more-or-less vegetarian option, though with a “signing statement” on that matter. C’mon and vote to get the (more or less) vegetarian numbers up.
I stay away from junk and fast food, try to stay within Polans definition of “food”.
Meh, it used to be. Definitions change. The vegans are trying to get you vegetarians to be called “ovo-lacto”.
Fish is vegetarian according to how some people use the word “vegetarian,” and as a lot of people understand the word. If you’re trying to tie it to its “vegetable” etymology, I hope you’re talking about eggplant and soymilk.
I used to be vegetarian, then was vegaquarian for many years, until I started teaching and my weight dropped so low that I almost dropped below eligibility to be a horse jockey, so I started eating meat. These days I try to eat more plants than animal products, with varying success, and I try to get my meat from humaner sources, also with varying success, but otherwise don’t really have limits on my diet.
No, fish was never vegetarian at any time. A common misconception. The definition has not changed. As for ovo-lacto-vegetarian, the vegans didn’t start that; it’s a self-designation. I was already identifying as ovo-lacto-vegetarian in the 1970s, long before veganism became the cool trend.
This is incoherent: if an understanding of a word that has no scientific or otherwise technical meaning* is commonly understood to be a particular thing, how on earth can that be a misconception? Whence do you think words derive meaning if not from what people think they mean?
I’m cutting back on the nachos Otherwise, except for organs and olives, I’ll eat most things.
Gluten free for over a year now. Coming up on the one year anniversary of the last time I deliberately ate gluten (Thanksgiving 2012) and boy howdy did I regret it.
Keto.
Not quite Paleo so I voted “other”…
Vegan.
My diet is mostly sodium.
I don’t know if this falls into one of the categories.
Anything derived from cow milk is a no.
No white flour.
No white rice.
I’m not gluten-free (I’ll eat whole wheat pasta) but I avoid bread as much as possible.
Everything else is fair game–beef, pork, chicken, fish. I recently discovered the joy of bison. Vegetables are a big part of my diet as well.
I might have to stop eating raw vegetables. The gas I’ve been having all day is killing me.
No sugar or fat? How un-American.
