This has been an interesting read.

I'm an omnivore, with a weakness for bakery items, and dark chocolate. Much to my waistline's dismay.
But in general I try to eat whole grains, a reasonable amount of fruits and vegetables, leaner cuts of meat. I'll eat fried food out, but don't do it at home - too messy. I happen to dislike mushrooms (the texture) and eggs, so will avoid eating them if I'm out to the best that I can without looking like a spoiled picky eater. The only foods I must avoid eating is squid and octopus, don't need another ride to a hosipital by ambulance - anaphalytic shock.

Am borderline hypoglycemic, so I don't fast. I've learned that I have to have protein if I indulge myself in pancakes or waffles for breakfast, and go light on the syrup. Now I'm thinking about pecan waffles with a side of applesauce, and a piece of breakfast ham from Waffle House...
