Restriction Riddles

[Jean McMillan 2,973]

I had H1N1, that made me really tight and unable to eat (once I could eat). Since, I have had an unfill a partial refill and well I am starting to get back where I was before I was ill. I don't dare complain, because at least I have lost a few pounds through it all and I have not gained. I have noticed that food that are high in sodium tend to cause that awful rumbly grumbly in my tummy. On top of watching sugar carbs and fat, I have learned my lesson and I am staying away from sodium as well (as much as possible).

Jean, Next question for you! How about just eating Edamame for your Protein? Good, Bad or Evil little Soybeans?

I love edamame, and they provide Fiber and Protein along with the flavor, but are you asking if it's good to eat edamame as your only protein source? If so, personally I wouldn't do that, for 3 reasons:

1. food boredom always leads me astray

2. my body needs a variety of protein sources to meet my nutritional needs (for Vitamins & minerals)

3. dense animal, fish, or seafood provides better satiety than softer protein sources (like edamame, tofu, cheese, beans)
