and a pink pony.
Pls don't hurt the pony.
It's not for the pony.
Ah, carry on.
 
My lard and potatoes days are over. 🙁
Lard is bad no matter what. It's probably what caused your diabetes in the first place (animal fats are dangerous for the body wayyyy more than plant fats).

Stop feeling sorry for yourself. Eat veggies and decent fruits like watermelon and avocado and consume extra virgin olive oil and hummus and other plant based foods. Cut out animal crap. It's not permanent. Your body WILL heal in 6 months once your internal organs start "breathing" again from the removal of visceral fatty deposits around them. Eating is not what life is about. Be a warrior. You will not die on 1000 calories a day or less six days a week and one cheat day. You need to be sincere to your body and your soul. You have the power to achieve anything. The only thing you need to do is to prepare your mind to brave the slight discomfort of reducing calories and eating healthy food.

LoL studies are showing vegetable shortenings have greater health implications than lard. Just don't eat too much of anything....
 
I weigh 130 pounds. down from 190
Great job! Keep going!

I went down to 52 KG and after that, my hbA1C test started returning a normal value. I'm now around 70 at least by my own estimation but haven't checked.

It was funny when people started gossiping that my sudden weight loss could be "cancer" induced 😀

I doubt he managed to source actual lard.

The market for lard got ended decades, if not over a century, ago. It and tallow are kinda sorta coming as rich people's food....

Plant or animal doesn't matter in the realm of oils. Trans fats are plant based. It doesn't change the chemistry of the trans fats in the shortening.

Shit, maybe it's just taking off and putting your Trek boots on every day.

Early 80s, we watched ST every day before Judge Whopner. Kirk always had nekked feet.

^ 100% unadulterated bullshit. Lard can be purchased at any Mexican grocery and most Walmarts.

I can buy blocks of lard from my supermarket :shrug:

In the present, it's quietly coming back, given that trans fats are now completely axed and saturated fat are "neutral" in terms of proven effects of damage. I highly doubt it was this easily accessible in plain American stores 10-20 years ago when Crisco was still "usable".

The lack of use of lard can be evidenced by the loss of pig breeds that focused on fattening.


I myself might just use bacon fat for tire lube on aluminum rims if the salt doesn't cause harm.
