Luby's in its glory days was the quintessential home cookin' cafeteria you could go to and get all of your cravings satisfied with one tray...#misstheolddays

As a transplanted Yankee, I never understood the appeal of Luby's. I didn't like their food at all. That said, Kitty may claim to be from SoCal, but she seems to have a strong affinity to deep south eating! I think she's got some Southern roots in her family tree!

Yeah, you had to catch Luby's in its heyday. And it's also cultural. We grew up eating the LuAnn platter. LOL. We were so little, we literally would split a LuAnn!

We moved to Texas in '72, so I was here for the heyday. It's just that southern home-cooking is nothing like northern home-cooking

Not judging here (super envy)--but um, it does kinda "read" like a meal from Luby's aka "Song of the South". We pretty much believe if it "ain't carby or fatty" it has no use. And rice and gravy + mac and cheese + corn would be part of any last meal I could plan. It would probably also have fried okra and Salsbury or smothered steak. There. I said it.

Yes! Totally the same ... it's Paschal's, an Atlanta institution!

I've never been to a Luby's but every time I drive by one, I want to go in! I'm just usually with customers or colleagues, who don't necessarily share my love for meat & 3!

Totally true!

So couple of things at play

I love me some carbs, and fat and carbs together, even better

I also love novel, different, local food. Anything that is local and I can't get readily at home, I'm all about. So if it's meat & 3, or Cincinnati Chili, or White Castle or blue crab or regional BBQ, I'm all over it!

Oh, third thing, I travel to the south quite a bit, so that is probably over represented in my food pics!

Don't be tempted by Luby's any longer. They've gone downhill so so so badly. *sniff* But your Paschal's plate...hold me. And yes, love mes some meat & 3!!!! And carbs + gravy or carbs + fat almost equal the holy trinity. The blessed triumvirate of fatdom!

Not as good eye candy as @GreenTealael's dude! But this is interesting! More on Water fasting.

Adventures adventures!!!

So no IF per se. I have a little gastritis that I'm working on healing and the gastro dude advised: frequent small meals.

And that was it.

No details. No definition of what a "small meal" looks like, etc. LOLOL.

I'm like, "Dude! If I was capable of stopping myself at "small" meals, I woulda never gotten morbidly obese in the first place. LOL. The trouble is, that having discomfort after eating is apparently not enough negative reinforcement to make me curtail my eating. LOL. I'm like, "Homey don't play that sh*t! Now gimme my food bi*ch before I cut you."

I see the surgeon tomorrow where I bet she's gonna tell me I'm a hypochondriac and to get over myself and quit botherin' her. But I will ask her definition of food volume too.

So today (yeah it's taken me a while to get my bad self to behave) I'm actively trying to re-introduce the concept of eating only 1/2c of volume at a meal. And only eating when hungry--not just cuz it's been 2 hours since my last mini meal. *snort*

So I might be doing IF from the standpoint of caloric restriction, but not time restriction.

Anyone trying to do any kind of IF during the holidays?
