Yeah I've people say stuff like that to me. The difference is I lost like 15 inches off my waist so the loose skin makes them right.

Anyone got a trick for skin repair?

all the sulphur you can eat

Iodine?

I've always heard gelatin is good for skin repair, and have been taking some every day in some tea. It has helped with some of my loose skin from weight loss.

Posted a few minutes ago on a forum I use.

"Been eating quorn this week, far healthier than meat and tastes the same/nicer in some cases."

Now, I've looked at this, and considered a number of replies, but I can't quite put them across in a civil way. So, what would you say to this idiot? Person, obviously I meant person.

I have never heard of "quorn".. after googling.. all I can say is w...t.....f....? people actually eat that shit?

[RaeVynn]

Yes. I did.

If you are serious about not eating animals, Quorn isn't bad. However, as far as nutrition goes, it isn't even close to high quality grass-fed beef liver. Or steak. Or pastured eggs.

I used to eat Quorn. If you love spongey, kind of dry food items, well, there ya go, better than steak or chicken. You can convince yourself anything is good....my fave was Veat. Oh man, I used to eat a lot of fake meat.

LOL, when I restarted eating hamburger, I was like, hmmm I'll need cheese, ketchup, mayo, onions, relish to make this good. Umm... no... beef actually tastes good and juicy without adding half the kitchen to it.

I had an interesting exchange with a guardian of conventional wisdom last week.
I met a coworker from our R&D group who has a doctorate in Food technology and nutrition. She likes to be called “Doctor” and when I met her she was pontificating to a couple other coworkers over a bottle of cheap Cabernet (we were all staying at the same hotel).
The guys were listening to her like a prophet and she was giving them formulas for metabolism, BMI and all that good stuff..when the subject of overall nutrition came up, I stated that I had been primal since October and had given up grains, sugars and the like.
Her reaction and actual words: “What a dumb ass! In a year your health will fail along with your kidneys.”
It became quite a lively exchange and she was irritated when I questioned the validity of BMI and the standard food pyramid.
She became really irate when I noted a couple of items that hit too close to home:
Mr. primal dumb ass was 50 (We are essentially the same age but I look about 10 years younger), was net 30 pounds lighter than he had been, felt great, had not one incidence of acid reflux in 9 months, had great mojo, could spar with people 30 years his junior..and was in pretty good shape overall for someone whose health is failing.
I also reminded her that incidentally, I was not the one with the cane nor was my liver likely to fail over numbing myself with too much cheap red.
