The only vegetable I don't like is cauliflower, which is a shame because that's a popular carb substitute. But it isn't any substitute for good mashed potatoes, no matter what anyone says.Sebastianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11539262551583143190noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2807403883562053852.post-7929476240217969042016-07-25T15:23:19.950-06:002016-07-25T15:23:19.950-06:00Same hurdle: pasta and potatoes, especially McDona...Same hurdle: pasta and potatoes, especially McDonald's French fries. Substitute lean meat for pasta. A nice steak can almost make you forget the pasta, potatoes, and pie, and make the broccoli tolerable, sort of.Clayton Cramerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03258083387204776812noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2807403883562053852.post-89376035768549439202016-07-25T12:17:04.003-06:002016-07-25T12:17:04.003-06:00I was just diagnosed with benign hypertension.

I went in for migraines and my BP was through the roof... as in high enough the Dr. said ordinarily she'd send me to the ER, but that because I was phobic, she was worried that might actually be more dangerous. So I'm finding the right cocktail of drugs now, with a prescription for more exercise and weight loss. I'm also pre-diabetic, and I'd like to reverse that.<br /><br />Fortunately, because of family history, I've stayed away from sugar for a while now. The real hurtle for me is carbs. I like potatoes and pasta... a lot.<br /><br />My plan is to exercise portion control, especially on carbs, and get out for at least a mile walk a day for now. We'll see what that does. I'd like to eventually resume hiking. A good medium-difficult hike can burn 500 calories an hour. I was thin back when I did that regularly, and gained all this weight when I stopped.Sebastianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11539262551583143190noreply@blogger.com
