For some reason, wife started buying a box of matzos at the grocery. She likes the cracker with the cheese in the mid morning. She's been doing the crackers—albeit a minimal quantity—for about 8 weeks. Instead of climbing the walls over gut permeability 1/
and subclinical non-celiac wheat sensitivity, I've been searching for an alternative. Well, two things happened.
First, recent blood test results show a reversal of her TRIG:HDL ratio. Before the wheat, Trig: 53, HDL 68, Trig:HDL 0.78. Results to (not) die for. Most recent
2/
results, after the introduction of the wheat, Trig: 66, HDL 58, Trig:HDL 1.14. Still not at the "don't buy green bananas" stage, but not as good. Fasting glucose was 110 as well.
Second, amendable to alternatives, I had the idea to make an egg+mozzarella cheese chaffle, smash
3/
the warm chaffle flat, and dehydrate gently overnight. Smashed, the chaffle is tasty enough, but not a cracker substitute. A test chaffle is in the dehydrator overnight, and we shall see tomorrow morning if this works. Stay tuned.
4/4
The only issue with last night's test run was a tendency for a bit of fat weep. So this morning's test batch include 1 Tbs coconut flour to soak up the oil. Worked like a charm. Smashed, these Chafflecrakers dry well in only a couple hours. Wife plans to switch and drop wheat.🤗

1) Purchase a nice folding chaise lounge to sun yourself on.
2) Midway through your lie out, stand up and nudge the chaise toward the head end and unbeknownst to you, break over both fold out legs toward the center of the chaise. Then put both knees on the chaise, head facing forward.
3) Let your weight forcefully collapse the chaise, catapulting the head section upwards. Be sure to leverage the back height adjustment as a convenient fulcrum. Be sure to keep your nose at the right height. Positioning is crucial here. 💥
And for the next COVID, and the next, and the next …
If this sounds like fat shaming to you please note, I cannot help the pertinacious reader.

"[I]ncreased bodyweight is the second greatest predictor of hospitalisation and a high risk of death for people suffering from COVID-19. Only old age rates as a higher risk factor.

the excess hospitalisation and need for treatment of the disease. Reducing one major risk factor, overweight, would have resulted in far less stress on health services and reduced the need to protect those services from being overwhelmed.

Ever since listening to @IreneSDavis on the @PeterAttiaMD 𝘛𝘩𝘦 𝘋𝘳𝘪𝘷𝘦 podcast last September, I've lived in three @XeroShoes models: For every day, a pair of TerraFlex, Xcursion for walking in wet conditions, and Alpine for colder snowy conditions. Added a set

drop shoes have improved both conditions. Even when I stub my toe on a root or rock, which used to lay me up for days.
Here's to the bright side of social media and those willing to share their expertise, without which I would have never known about minimalist footwear.
The problem with this Pizza Hut meal is not the meat (I think there's meat in here somewhere).
There is also "pan oil" preserved with TBHQ, and there is that DATEM again. Sugar cane fiber👀 and VITAL wheat gluten. "Vital!" to whom? 🙄
The alphabetical list of ingredients of this ONE MEAL is similar to the others, but with a few twists: TBHQ and "pan oil" come to mind. And get a load of that "chicken fritter" …🥴
