Diabetes, Obesity, Metabolic Disease, Sugars, Aldehydes, and the American Diet

3. While I'm at it, here is my favorite weight loss receipe

Cut a spagehtti squash in half, clean out the seeds and fibers, place the halves cut side down in a baking dish with an inch or two of water in it. Bake at 375 for an hour. Remove, let cool, use a fork to get the strands of squash out, and squeeze them just a little to remove extra liquid. Mix them with one can of rinsed black beans, and then add your favorite salsa to taste.

I call this dish 'two sisters', because basic food triad of the Americas was corn, beans, and squash, the 'three sisters'. This is just the two sisters, plus some good flavoring, with fiber and protein.

Eat a pint of this for lunch everyday and cut down on your sugars and starches.


As someone who loves the traditional American diet, including sugars, starches, and processed foods, and who has struggled with my weight, I find this an easy and pretty painless way to keep my weight down.
