You brought up a point I hadn't mentioned: I do have dairy allergies. When i was born my mom had to give me soy milk because of that. When I drink milk or eat dairy, I immediately get mucous buildup exactly as if I had a head cold. It's one reason I try to stay away from dairy. This past week was a rare breakdown. Not sure exactly what meat is bad for me, but I know how my body feels sluggish when I eat certain types. When I did my vegan thing, I slowly re-introduced meat, and was able to note the specific effects of different types as I ate them. Red meat is of course the worst, so I limit my consumption of hamburger or beef to something like once a month.

I hear you, Keith! I LOVE Vanilla, and/or the smell of it. I get vanilla flavored Rice Milk and/or Soy Milk. It helps. I used to be an ice cream fiend, too....Pistachio! The doctor I went to after my stomach and hemhorroids became acutely bloody told me that cravings like that are a red flag for foods we're allergic to. He was right. I hated him for ruining my one true addiction. I thanked him later when I was was able to tie my bleeding directly to the dairy products. Now, I'd rather eat Crisco than Ice Cream. Not an option either, by the way! LOLLOL! Man, that cycle you were forced into this past week has got to have a name. It happens way too much! I remember spending nights sleeping in chairs back in the day, making software fixes, re-writing code on a customer's site, and testing. You're bringing back great memories, my friend. Thanks! Hope that doesn't happen to you often...!

Had a bad week for some reason. It may because I had to be at work at 5 am three days out of the last five, doing five-hour server upgrades each time. I was too tired to workout like I needed, yet my schedule kept me from eating well (I usuallly take time to prepare breakfast, lunch, and snacks to eat at work so I avoid the pitfuls of eating out). So I'd get home tired yet hyper, pissed off, and hungry. Next thing I know I'm downing ice cream shakes. I've polished off three gallons of ice cream in the last week. So I'll be hitting the road about 7 in the am tomorrow to run off some of the calories I picked up. It's amazing how one can be biochemically configured to respond favorably to various smells or tastes. I consider myself to be very disciplined, but ice cream is a true weakness. I also have an amazing reaction to the smell and taste of vanilla. Give me a vanilla bean pod and I'm like a cat with catnip. I probably drop two tablespoons of vanilla extract into each milkshake I make.The smell has an amazing affect. The same with the smell of roses for me. -----Original Message----- From: scifinoir2@yahoogroups.com [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Astromancer Sent: Friday, August 19, 2005 14:22 To: scifinoir2@yahoogroups.com Subject: RE: [scifinoir2] Re: Reality is often more interesting than sci-fi!

I have to ask...What about those Coke and vanilla ice cream floats??? Keith Johnson <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:I stand 6'1", weigh about 210 pounds, yet eat very little meat for my size. Everyone expresses surprise at how little meat I eat. I workout a great deal and always seem to have high energy. A few years ago when this weight consisted of more fat (now it's hopefully more muscle with a little fat left) I went cold-turkey vegan for three months. Though I missed the barbecue, Mexican food (beef), and ham with my pancakes, I did surprisingly well. My wife, however, had a terrible time. She could barely last two weeks, and was always craving meat. It wasn't until much later that you and others made me aware of the whole blood type thing. I'm type AB, which according to that Web site you (?) posted, doesn't need much meat. Indeed, AB needs to stay away from a wide range of meat and dairy products. -----Original Message----- From: scifinoir2@yahoogroups.com [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of M C Jennings Sent: Thursday, August 18, 2005 14:25 To: scifinoir2@yahoogroups.com Subject: Re: [scifinoir2] Re: Reality is often more interesting than sci-fi! Everybody does not do well as vegetarian(s). Check out your blood type. If you're a type 'A' like I am, vegetarian is the way to go. On the other hand type 'O', the original type, is a meat-eating type. Got it from the original diet. Type 'A' evolved after humans settled down and began to grow stuff. Type 'B' is mostly Asian, and AB is the latest evolved type. VERY sketchy, but since I've started paying attention to my diet according to my blood type, I've had a lot less trouble because of food reactions. When I stopped eating red meat, my cholesterol dropped way down into the normal range even though I still pigged out on some really ugly foods. After I had a recent operation, I let my craving for protein lead me to red meat, and my cholesterol is way up again...I'm getting it back under control ...

McNair (Boston) I was very surprised at my results. My footprint is 2.1 and planets needed was 1.2. I think the meat eating got me. I've got my family down to a few days a week on average of no meat, but as Dad is a serious carnivore, so far no meat dinner is out of the question. Meta YAHOO!
