Ugh, my test results came in today, and my doctor wants me to reduce fat in my diet and lose weight because of a fatty liver. I'm onboard with losing weight (been trying for over a year), but my diet is already pretty darn good about fat—it's salt that I eat scandalous amounts of. I mean I can drop the very occasional pork products for breakfast and phase out my last couple meals/week with red meat, but I'm not going to get rid of dairy, and every salad dressing I've seen has some amount of fat in it.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, butt kicking, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
Media is media, right?
Exactly.
Did you tell him you were already eating a pretty low fat diet, Matt? Sorry about the liver.
He knows, and approved at my physical. I can handle a short-term austerity diet, but there's not all that much fat I can trim out long-term; I already avoid most sweets and baked goods, gravy, fatty meats, and sour cream and use butter sparingly. A couple of healthier meat choices a week and cutting out the bowlful of chips I have every other day or so are about it.
Timelies all!
Mr. S is having frequent meltdowns.(Usually when he is prevented from doing something he wants to do and we don't want him to do it.)
I have realized that "the toddler meltdown" scans to "The Final Countdown". (You're welcome.)

That's a drag, Matt. Hope something works out.

Thanks. t as that guitar riff plays in my head
Matt, my cholesterol was bad, but already being vegetarian there was little for me to give up. I did the opposite by adding the good stuff, like oatmeal daily, and had quite dramatic improvement in my numbers. Maybe something like that would work better.
I am enjoying responding to mac's request with his recent insults to me about how useless I am.
I am on strike except for car rides. There is plenty of food available to him, but I am not making anything specifically for him.
Mom strike!
I thought it's sugar, not fat, that causes fatty liver? That's why it happens with high alcohol intake? Like, to get foie gras you stuff the goose with corn, not bacon... IDK IANAD
