new healthy food

 

I’ve never been interested in low-carb diet or lifestyle, until I learned that it can help prevent cancer. I was mostly surprised to discover that many of my “let’s eat healthy to lose some weight” meals are even more risky than my “oh well I don’t care let’s eat that” meals:

• Corn flakes
• Mashed potatoes
• Baguette white bread
• White rice
• My own soup !!!

All of the above have a 70+ glycemic index.  I won’t stop eat them (at least, not my beloved Corn Flakes), but I won’t see them as healthy.

And so, I’ll try to add some soy, oat and nuts. And enjoy more +75% chocolate, beets, pickles and peas…

I doubt however that these changes will be more helpful to lose weight.  I’ll see how it goes…

cancer loves sugar

Damn ! I learn that only now???

But how much anticancer prevention am I willing to do? Well… I’ll try to add food with low glycemix indexes that I like and remove foood with higher indexes that I don’t like that much…

national poetry month with be there soon – yay

getting ready

At last, my poetry book is almost ready. Besides fixing the template, I have to figure out if I’ll add something like a prologue or an epilogue. Do I want to leave my poetry all alone or do I want to speak about the process, the context? Maybe it’s only about intellectual masturbation…

lost in translation

Sometimes, I come with an interesting title or verse in French but when I translate it, it becomes awful. Like that title for a story I have in mind: Ratisser l’abîme.

But in English it’s something like Raking the abyss. I hate it… Anyway, I don’t need a title if I don’t write the story…

funny dream

Last night, I dreamed my odd parents were feuding over who would be the legal tutor of my 28 years old self. It could be an interesting ground for the next Adam Sandler comedy. As long as I don’t spend time dreaming about Adam Sandler.

all about bmi

 

These days, I’m very into my body. As my new year’s day’s diet started with a nasty 20 pounds surprise, my mind is focussed on obtaining results on that diet. My BMI is over 30 and I intend to bring it around 22 before the end of the year.

So far, my homemade soup is going marvels.

It’s a very simple recipe: strips of carrots, potatoes, celeries and turnip with both tomato and chicken soup, plus some pepper on my bowl. Yummy (don’t forget water in the process or it’s going to be a mess).

interesting question about determinism

If determinism is true, does this undermine morality? Would Hitler be morally equal to Gandhi because both are pre-determined to act the way they did? Should this affect the anger we feel towards ‘immoral’ people?

resolutions and assessment

1. Lose some weight.
2. Stop wasting so much energy thinking how my life doesn’t meet my expectations.
3. Figure out if I want to write prose or remain in poetry.

Creatively, it’s hard to say if 2007 has been a good year for me as this is pretty much the year I wrote by far the less prose. Almost nothing ! But as it has been by far my best year ever for poetry… So… I know I definitely could write some story or thoughts but do I want to ? This ambivalence between silence all these verses is at least interesting.

I tried to leap

but there was no ground to land

I tried to leap

but there was no sky to raise

I tried to leap

but there was no space to move

Everything was gloom and coldness

all around beyond my sight

So I remained still.
