I have a question

[Maximus]

Why is it that if I eat 1 lb. of fudge I gain 3 lbs.? This just doesn't seem right to me. x(

 

[dmd]

Perhaps it has something to do with the water weight gain after eating carbs...something like for every gram of carbs, one gains 3 grams of water. I heard this little factoid on the boards recently.

Wow, girl. A pound of fudge eh? Sounds like fun. I always have to add a little salt with my sugar and go back and forth for a while.

LOL well that was just theoretical, but I have been known to throw down a half lb. or so if I'm really hungry.........:9

The problem may be that you're eating the fudge whole. Chop it up into little pieces and it not only lowers the overall calorie content, but the fudge will actually raise your metabolism. Also, you have to make sure you eat it all in one sitting to get the full benefits. If you spread it out over several hours or days, your body has an allergic reaction that causes it to swell at the hips! }(

So that's what it is...an allergic reaction!!!:7 :7 :7 Too funny!

Maximus, I want to hang out with you! I betcha I could down a pound of fudge without batting a lash! They'd LOVE us in Amish Country! Best fudge ever, I tell you!

 

[FiddleFit]

Lunacat is right, Maximus! Breaking the fudge into smaller pieces reduces the calorie content, as breaking the fudge actually jolts loose some of the calories, and they fall out of the fudge.

If it is true that carbs cause the body to retain extra water, then I recommend you stop drinking water. It obviously makes you fat.

Cheers!

Maximus,

Did you just eat a pound of fudge???

Call the paramedics, that sugar high is gonna be a doozie!!! :+
Not to mention the low! :+

 

[smoogy]

I really find that hard to believe, maximus. Seeing your pictures.

You know what? Fudge? Gross! Give me meatloaf or chicken fried steak with lots of gravy & mashed potatoes! Yeah!!!

I even had an anthropology teacher actually say that's what the grossest thing she thought would be. Gravy covered chicken-fried steak. Ha, ha!!! More for me!!! (but only, once in a blue moon.)

I have yet to see Maximus...where are her pictures? I LOVE pictures!

 

[Lunacat]

Let her put the fudge down first! We don't want her getting fudgy fingers on the camera lens!

 

[allwildgirl]

Pictures are always good. So I can look and think "boy, maybe I'll look like that someday!"

 

[Maximus]

Nonononono Ima, the best fudge is at the Jersey shore! :9

Yeah, were are her pictures?

How on Earth can you eat a pound of fudge without barfing? I can't stand the stuff, it's way too rich for me. Now, if it were a pound of brownies...that would be a different matter.

 

[allwildgirl]

Oh wow! You look fantastic!!!!

 

[Maximus]

OMG I love ALL fudge. Chocolate, peanut butter, heath toffee fudge, caramel, s'mores..........I can't get enough of that stuff. It is w/o a doubt my favorite all time dessert.

I can't say I could eat a lb of it w/o barfing though (although I'd be willing to give it a shot). Barfing is always a possibility if I eat a lb of anything.

I swear summer isn't getting here fast enough!!!
