Question of the Day!

Cooking / eating Tofu.

It looks like a mix of grout and old window putty, and tastes like it – no matter if I myself cook it (during the initial phase of my change of diet in 2017, and yes, I followed the recipes to the dot), or someone else (more experienced with it)...

... thanks, not again. I wouldn't even "choke it down" out of a feeling of duty if my best friend cooked it.

I'm aware that many people make / made good experiences with implementing it into their diet and got healthy results, but it's not my means for getting those.



The same with sugar alternatives, by the way: I had diabetes before / during my change of diet, and my doctor said no table sugar. So I tried myself through birch / coco / whatever sugar, stevia (especially Uah!), sugar substitutes like erythritol / aspartame, and so on.

The only tolerable "substitute" was maple syrup... which was actually poison for my fat liver because it consists of 80% fructose. (Therefore also most sweet fruits were forbidden) But since it's so "condensed" sweet, you can only use it in small doses at once, so...

Anyway, in the end, I was so frustrated and disgusted by everything sweet (as my tastebuds were *peeped* around with all the time) that I returned to table sugar after about six weeks, despite the diabetes. But so be it. Food rather tastes than not. Simple as that.

Guess what? Despite table sugar, diabetes vanished. Granted, it took longer, but I was happy again. And when you make your own sweets (best with vegs as "filler"), you know how much of it you put into the dish... and so eat slower and more deliberately.

Schei...benhonig – now I want a freaking piece of freaking cake!

So quickly off to my daily walk... so I have reason to "reward" myself later.

Have a great day, Ms. Lilli Munster 🦇 ☕ !
