Good morning and some good info!
Hi! See? I am still here!
I wanted to share Joyce’s devotion with you, and some good info I got in my email.
Thanks so much for all the awesome support, you all are wonderful, I really cried at alot of your responses. I am NOT quitting, just stepping back and trying to learn some moderation.
Any hoo, doing good today, and here’s the devotion:
Crucify Selfish Attitudes |
|
July 30 To live in victory,we can’t make decisions according to the way we feel, or by what we think we want. The Word teaches that we are born with appetites sensitive to our human nature. Our natural flesh is carnal and unspiritual. It will keep us slaves to sin, unless we crucify it and follow what the Spirit of God leads us to do. Studying God’s Word will build your faith and keep you on the right path: “The wise also will hear and increase in learning, and the person of understanding will acquire skill and attain to sound counsel [so that he may be able to steer his course rightly]” (Proverbs 1:5). |
Here is a good article from my email on butter, too.
** WHICH IS HEALTHIER: BUTTER OR MARGARINE?
* In this “Ask the Doctor” column from the Hypertension and Stroke
White Paper, a reader asks, “Which is healthier: butter or margarine?”
The answer may surprise you.
A. Trans fat-free tub and liquid margarines are healthier choices than
butter because they contain the least “bad” fats.
The trouble with butter is that it has both saturated fat (7 g per
tbsp) and cholesterol (33 mg per tbsp), which can raise your total and
LDL cholesterol levels and clog your arteries. Regular margarine isn’t
necessarily better: The more solid a margarine is, the more trans fat
it contains — most stick margarines have a whopping 3 g of trans fat
per tbsp (as well as 2 g of saturated fat per tbsp).
Since there is no established safe level of trans fat consumption,
it’s best to eat as little as possible. Look for margarines that list
liquid vegetable oil — not partially hydrogenated vegetable oil — as
their first ingredient. Some have less than 0.5 g of trans fat per
serving and are considered trans-fat free.
Just be sure to control your calories when using these products, since
fats are the most caloric foods we eat: On a diet containing 2,000
calories a day, the Dietary Guidelines recommend no more than 6 tsp of
oils and fats a day.
Finally, when cooking, use oils that are high in monounsaturated fat
– like olive or canola oil — instead of butter or margarine.
Monounsaturated fats are considered healthy when consumed in
moderation because they reduce harmful LDL cholesterol levels and
raise beneficial HDL cholesterol levels.
I hope you all have a great day! I will be back at lunch to read blogs.
Hugs!

Good morning to you too Kama.
I love your attitude. As you know, I am against fighting. If you fight your body, it would fight back. What if you take a moment to listen, respect, appreciate, and nurture?
