I prefer keeping my feet on the bench because it pushes my lower back into contact with the bench more solidly--no arching my hips up if the weight is heavy. I feel like it helps to keep my form very strict and stable. Watch at the gym how many people arch their backs off the bench while lifting.

Lol, whut? Powerlifters are all about the arch in the back, nothing wrong with that. If the ass is off the bench, then it's not legit. Planting your feet on the ground allows you to utilize your leg muscles to help drive the lift.

Gluten free sausages arnt the norm here, they put wheat rusk in all the sausages as standard... Exspecially the cheap"guess the pig parts" sausage

Ahhh... yeah, I've had what your tribe calls sausage ... I thought they were very strange. Around here those are a specialty item rarely seen outside a few retailers serving the expat community so I wasn't thinking in those terms. Here the cheap sausage is mostly fat, water and enough protein to bind them together, and the OK sausage hovers in the 98% "named domesticated animal product" range.

Maybe she was Americano? Deutsch? From somewhere that loves the pastry and the almost-entirely-animal-product sausage? Dunno... but at least I get the joke now.

DO try it. It tastes like Greek yoghurt, but has 31% fat instead of 10%. So nice... (we need a *drool* icon...)

I get a cultured cream... basically the locals here spoon the cream off into a bucket and collect it over several days. It begins to sour and has a wonderful "sour cream" flavor that is just divine. It's also so thick it's like spooning soft ice cream. It makes so many great things and, being full fat cream, it's probably well above 40% fat. I make butter from it that has this wonderful complex flavor that, added with a little bit of "Real Salt" is simply the best. Makes the most amazing steak. I literally could eat it raw... the butter that is. I get buttermilk from that that is cultured also and has a nice refreshing tang.

Whipped cultured cream with a hint of honey over fresh fruit... OMGoodness. It doesn't get any better than that. Drizzled with 80% chocolate... I died.

As for getting anything from the store... remember, if it says "pastuerized" or worse "ultra pastuerized" the milk is basically dead... I have severe lactose intolerance... but only from commercial milk. My mother is the same way. When I need it, I will occasionally buy regular "pasteurized" heavy whipping cream from the store. I don't ever buy ultra anymore. It's just too dicey with my stomach. No one likes living in the bathroom.

This!
For years I thought it was "me"... No, it's the crap they do to the milk!
Natural raw milk is fine in my tummy, and I can drink it without issue.

ok you kilt-wearing cutie.. I have no idea on the difference in butter either!! LOL

A woman I grew up with recently started a blog to chronicle her weight loss journey. One of her more recent entries listed instructions on how to make cake "healthy" and lower calorie so she could eat it more often.

This is a direct quote from her:

"What makes cake so unhealthy is the butter and eggs we put in it." Yeah, because the sugar and refined flour can't possibly be unhealthy...

Sigh. Her solution to making cake healthy? Make it with only boxed cake mix and diet soda. Then it practically becomes a miracle health food!

I was in water aerobics yesterday. My classmates were talking about healthy foods and alternative practices. One classmate was swearing up, down and sideways that doing a coffee enema was the best thing for her headaches and had made them go away completely if she did them regularly. I asked if she thought it might be a sensitivity or maybe brought on by something she was eating that she could remove from her diet. I got looked at like I grew a third eye. Yeah. She's the one putting coffee up her ass and I'm the weird one for suggesting the headaches could be caused by food.

[Maureen M]

Um.. what? Who decided that flushing your ass out with caffeine was a good idea?

[Samphis]

I think you could have shortened that story to "coffee enema," and it would have had the same impact.
