Exercise and portion control are the main things. I also dropped all

cause some rather annoying blood sugar problems, especially diet
caffeinated
beverages, which will make someone eat bad things when they wouldn't
normally do so.
Plus I have a rule -- cheating should be infrequent but without any
guilt. I
worked times when I can go off my normal diet to avoid the stress and
monotony of eating things that are just subsistence foods instead of
foods I
like.
And I also dropped several things that I liked because they weren't
healthy
for me, and those drops are pretty much for the rest of my life. There's
none of the "I can't eat this until I hit my weight goal" stuff, because
that's one very good way to gain it back again. It has to be a lifestyle
change.
And also, we're grazing animals, not gorging ones, so eating less more
often
helps in dealing with the hunger pangs.

The prefect fry has a crispy exterior with a very soft center, like the
stuff in a baked potato before you put stuff in it but right after
you've broken it up. The trick is to get the fryer temperature just
right and to cook for exactly the right amount of time.
Of course, I tend to avoid fries these days, as I'm trying to drop
extra weight and get to my optimum weight for health reasons. (I've
dropped about 50lbs since early March, so it's working well so far)

Well I guess different people like different things. I like my fries
thick.
I guess you could say I like steak fries or potato wedges.

I have seen French fry cutters like that, but the only complaint I
have with them is that you cannot cut a big potato into full length
fries.
I don't want short fries. I like them long and thin.

I bought mine from blindtreasures.com and it's a horizontal french
fry cutter. Depending on the size of the potato you may need to
slice it in half in order for it to fit between the plastic pusher
and the metal grid. What I have has blades and not wires. It has
a
handle
on
top and a couple rubber pads on the bottom for gripping a surface.
When the handle is vertical the cutter is open. When you put a
potato
in the cutter and want to use it, you apply weight on the handle
and
pull it down. This french fry cutter has some plastic parts, my
mother had one that I got earlier and some apartment re-organizers
threw out that was all metal.

No problem.
It's a metal frame with wires across it, sort of like an egg
slicer, but in this case there's a grid of them about a third to a
half an inch between the wires. You place it at the top of a
potato
and push down, slicing the potato into fries as you push down.
I've also used it to make nice even cheese cubes for parties and
to
cut ham or spam into cubes for dishes.

Hi everyone,
In those messages about egg slicers, someone mentioned a french
fry
cutter.
That's something I've wanted to see and possibly buy. Would
someone
be willing to write a short description of the cutter? I'm
interested in learning more.
Thanks,
Nancy in OK
