Some foods are a no-go.

.

It isn't just the food.  Sometimes it is the method, or means by which the food is cooked or otherwise prepared.  As an example, chaffles.  If you haven't heard of that, the term is a cross between cheese and waffle.  Using eggs, cheese, and possibly almond or coconut flour.

On it's face, it seems sufficient.  My first problem is that most waffle makers are coated with teflon, or some other coating.  Toxic, interferes with hormones, and other such.  Even if in perfect shape, the coating which is supposed to make them safe (dubious claim) times out, and stops working (IF, I say, IF it ever worked).  Plus, any scrape, cut, tear, will just flood the food with toxins.  Though, probably putting out small amounts (how much poison is too much?  do you ever really know).

That's... one part.  The next part?  Most people want to add sweetened syrups to it.  From all of my experimentation, there isn't a good sweetener.  Maybe stevia.  The problem, with stevia, for me, is that I can't taste any sweetness.  I have tried pure powdered, pure liquid, and various mixes adding other sweeteners or non-sweetening flavors or additives.  If I found anything that I could taste, it was a negative for diabetes.

So, between production and the want of sweeteners, and not being able to find good sweeteners, I had to abandon the notion.  Well, there are cast iron sandwich crispers.  Those would sort of work.  The problem is how to heat those.  They are, really, made for fireplaces and campfires.  And, again, how to flavor, or sweeten, the item?

As well, watching many y.t.ers making "keto" or "carnivore" food?  They are using old "non-stick" pans, or strange pans I can't tell of what kind.  It is almost nauseating.  Stainless isn't all that expensive, isn't that hard to clean when you do it correctly, and doesn't cause problems when cooking almost any food.  Cast iron and carbon steel also work, but are so much fussier.

Or, watching people spend $40 for a grass fed, grass finished ribeye, only to cook it in crisco or such?  It's... crazy.  Basically, almost every food prep I see on y.t. has some serious breach of health, safety, or such.  And many of them have many problems.  I would say that y.t. is actively trying to make people sick.  They probably keep quality creators off their site?  I would have to guess so.

Heck, I seek specific types of cooking, which is based on health.  And, in that subset, they have cooks using dangerous methods and foods and ideas.  Adding honey to "keto" foods, using teflon pans, or aluminum for high temp foods.  Suggesting deep frying, and how to save the fats.  Advising using seed oils.  It's... total bad food propaganda.  I try to be careful.

As well, I avoid videos with multiculturalism.  Even a touch.  And, I avoid tattooed content providers.  Or muscleheads who obviously juice.  Unless that is part of the point.  Finding good information, solidly formed, well presented, has almost become impossible.  And, of course, sometimes I miss the flaw, because sometimes it just seems mostly otherwise correct.  Ugh.

Just... saying... be careful out there.  The toxins that may be keeping your from losing weight?  Might be coming from the cheap, aluminum, coated, pans.  Or the seed oils.  Or even the ghee that is fake.  It's a lot to ask, that people manage their food, sourcing, quality, purity, and then ask them to check how much they are eating, what they are eating, and in what proportions.

But, then, I'm not asking you to do that.  If you are reading here, that may well be why you are reading here.  Just understand, you have to fight for your health today.  They really want you either sick, thus paying their greens fees.  Or they want you dead.  Either works, the higher up the chain one goes.  If you want it, you are going to have to do a lot of work.  Worth it?  I don't know.  Is it, to you?  It is for me.

So?  So I will put it out.  I will sum it up.  I will try this, and that, over what I have tried, and learned.  We all are going to die.  But do you want to be sick the whole time until you do?  Me?  I'd rather get in excellent shape, regain health, live ten years that way, and then get hit by something.  Than even to live fifty miserable more years, on medicine, in pain, overweight, and wanting to die every day.

I guess it's really your choice.  Good luck on choosing, and doing.  Later.
