Thread drift alert...
If you really want to keep your weight in check, cut out the wheat products. There is a good book called Wheat Belly written by a doctor. It’s well written and easy to read. He writes about a number of his patients in really bad condition that turned their lives around by stopping the wheat. Basically, the wheat we eat today is so gmo’d that our bodies can’t digest it properly. After reading it, I stopped eating any product with wheat and really trimmed down. I’m not a big guy or overweight but I really toned up and gained a lot of energy. Basically a no wheat diet, which is really hard to do btw , I love bread... But, I was eating lots of wheat products every meal, 3 or 4 times a day.
Something I noticed since I started eating wheat products again is that I get indigestion after eating it. Not terrible, but it’s there and only if I eat a big sandwich or a noodle dish like spaghetti or mac & cheese. I’m convinced it’s the wheat.
I’m with you on the hot turkey sandwich Brett, oh man am I with you! We have a diner in the town I work in that serves an awesome chicken & biscuit lunch with mashed potatoes and vegetables. I order it with two scoops of mp’s and skip the biscuit. Welp, I know where I’m going for lunch when I get back to work in two weeks!
As long as I’m thread drifting, Five Guys have probably the best french fries of any fast food restaurant I’ve ever been to. Hate their burgers but love their fries!
Back to potatoes... We always planted two large gardens with a large potato section. Spent a lot of my youth in those gardens.
