Father was from new hampshire mother Indiana. we ate turnips rutabagas but never greens. Ham hocks were for beans or split pea soup. Oh yea i really don't like rice of any kind unless it liquid BUD.
Loves me some collard greens
tep you Tom and my other bud Dan would get along fine.
IL2H, diets do suck, thats why they can't be maintained. with your cooking skills just find a way to cook the things you like a little healthier (and probably better tasting at the same time) and the lbs cholesterol and trigs will come down slowly over time and you won't have that feeling of denying yourself as much. even though my wt loss has slowed/stopped, my #'s are still improving. labs as of 7/1 total chol 178 with good ratios, glucose 101 ( a little higher than norm for me but still good) and trigs of 69. so if a lazy cheating couch potato like me can change the #'s easily, you should have no problem.
