I had a friend at work who decided to try low-carb. First thing she did was find a recipe for peanut butter cookies and munched on those all day long. "Uh, you're kind of missing the point here."

Several years ago there was a thread about what people ate at the movies. Lots and lots of suggestions for "legal" treats. I suggested that maybe it's better not to have treats or eat mindlessly at the movie. I didn't say it, but you really can't go for 90 minutes without eating? Well, I was the bad guy in that post. First the original poster said she was NOT eating mindlessly, but did like something to munch on. Sure I like munching all day long too (or at least used to), but if you're in this to regain your health and lose a few pounds, why would you keep up the habits that got you into the situation to begin with? Yup, I was sure characterized as the party pooper.

Whatever.
