I have done that before. Its great before and during the cake consumption, but afterwards the regret sets in when your bloated stomach tries to digest the consequences of your actions
Yah, honestly to me “living your best life” might include not doing that to yourself so that you don’t suffer the consequences of obscene overconsumption.
Nah nah. This is all accurate. However the difference is, you buy it, you eat it, you enjoy the hell out of it.
Then after dinner, you tell your kids they can have the rest for dessert. And since there’s one piece left, you have the last piece like a hoss. Then it’s gone within a days work, and you can pretend it never happens while the kids think it was the best day ever and it’s a win win situation.
As somebody who used to weigh over 350 pounds, you need to be the thing that stops you. I promise, losing the weight is harder than just not buying that cake in the first place.
I have found the only way I can not be obese (and I mean the lowest BMI I have had is 24) is the most extreme diets - keto and now carnivore since keto is too hard to stick to
Though I don't envy you. You have no clear signal that you're eating unhealthily, but suffer the same ill health that us fatties do if you do eat unhealthily
You need to pump iron and eat protein to gain healthy weight
As a "European" I never forget that I can just walk around the corner to buy cake because I don't live in a suburban hellhole where I need a car to get food
Wait until they figure out they can buy the cake mixes, and it's possible to make your own cakes, with as much extra stuff as you want. I once made a cake with embedded cookies, and a peanut butter cream cheese frosting. I regret nothing.
How much of a thing is using a cake mix? I bake often but just using simple ingredients that I buy separately, but cake mixes seem to be really popular, especially in the states. Is that true?
For people who arent super into baking they are a cheap, fun activity for an afternoon. Just add water and maybe some oil mix it with a spoon and bake it for the time stated on the box. No need to store or buy excess cocoa, flour, sugar, eggs and so on.
I can, have and do bake cakes without the use of cake mixes. It's not hard, and I normally have most of the ingredients on hand. But cake mixes are very popular, come in a wide variety of flavors/types, and, generally speaking, are pretty good. They're also cheap. And they store well, and efficiently on the shelf or in a cabinet. So it's just super convenient to have one on hand. It also takes like 30 seconds to make. Add water, oil, egg, mix.
It’s extremely high in saturated fat and salt, and so should be eaten sparingly. That’s not to say it can’t be a part of a balanced diet, but even a small portion provides a huge chunk of your daily requirements for each of those two, as well as for calories.
Edit: Removed reference to dietary cholesterol, as this has little to no impact on health
Common misconception. People will eat sugary fat free products and think it is a healthy product, but think that bacon will kill them, while in all likelihood it is the other way around.
As a diabetic I grapple with this often. Turns out can and should are very different things :( curse you pancreas. You too mom. Kids don't do drugs with a baby in the womb. Your kids will suffer.
I mean, before a certain age there's no kids that do drugs with a baby in the womb. Whose womb? I assume they meant the kid's womb. But if they're able to do drugs with a baby in someone else's womb, who am I to judge such a feat?
I LIKE that one! I've got Army green ('87), white (new) and a gold one with a leather band (new).
Gf got me a G Shock a couple of months ago! Much love. Got a better band for it, but that's my outdoor activities watch. Tough, waterproof, suitable for whatever, kayaking, camping, beach, anything.
Never tried a Tissot. What do you like?
And yeah, I'm 52. The watches I had as a kid were shit. I remember dad drilling me to take them off to wash my hands. I have that G Shock underwater 3 times a week, and sometimes salt water.
As much as buying and eating a whole chocolate cake is 100% a bad idea for your health, doing it once is unlikely to have any noticable impact beyond making sure you have horrible shits for a day or so.
Doing it (or similar) habitually will obviously drastically increase your chances of heart attacks and other issues though of course.
But if you want to reward your inner 8 year old every once in a while I say do it, too many people make themselves permanently unhappy with dieting. The (much easier said than done) trick is very well known, and it's simple moderation.
The dose makes the poison. Usually, this is interpreted as referring to an instantaneous dose, but it also applies to culmulatuve doses, which unhealthy eating is one of the most common examples of.
Bake a cake, have a slice, and sell the rest to charity. It's more cost effective, less expensive, and allows one to further the use of the phrase "sell it to charity". Triple win
