Not kidding. But, who wants to do that?<BR/><BR/>Oh, and they have to occasionally get winded.

It's very basic and easy to adapt to your own tastes.<BR/>4 cups flour (I use 2 white and 2 wheat, but you can try other types or proportions.)<BR/>1 teaspoon salt<BR/>2 teaspoons baking soda<BR/>3 teaspoons baking powder<BR/>Sift together and store in an airtight container till ready to use.<BR/><BR/>To make pancakes:<BR/>2 c. pancake mix<BR/>2 c. milk (can use all or part buttermilk, plain yogurt, sour cream, or cottage cheese that has been through a blender)<BR/>4 eggs<BR/><BR/>Just before adding milk and eggs, stir in the following if you want to make it healthier. I never measure these ingredients. Just do what looks right and experiment with amounts.<BR/>ground or whole flax seeds <BR/>wheat germ<BR/>nutritional yeast flakes<BR/><BR/>Of course you can also add lots of different fruits and even nuts or sunflower seeds.Jennihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08483309441288822407noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34744429.post-7778940705151124082009-02-13T11:28:00.000-05:002009-02-13T11:28:00.000-05:00That fad diet you mentioned is very dangerous for ...That fad diet you mentioned is very dangerous for some people. Danny's uncle didn't know he was diabetic and started that diet. He had a stroke. Then, because he was too stubborn to make the lifestyle changes (red meat, alcohol, and sweets) the doctors told him were necessary, he died a few months later. He was only about 60 and in pretty good shape other than his diet. It's more important than people realize, but so hard to change.<BR/><BR/>This new adventure sounds like a lot of fun! I love to eat, too, and I know where my problems lie. I don't eat enough fruits and veggies and I need to learn portion control and to be consistent. I'll go most of the day without eating much and then I'll over-do it on dinner if it's something I love. Even if that something I love is healthy (spicy sweet potato soup, black bean and sweet potato burritoes, aloo gobi), I don't need to eat two or three helpings, no matter what my tastebuds are telling me. If I ate smaller meals more consistently, I know I would drop this extra 15 pounds.Jennihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08483309441288822407noreply@blogger.com
