How Many Macaroons.....

Post by DJ »

How many macaroons can one belly hold? I sure hope the answer is eleven! I made the simplest macaroons tonight and they were great. Just egg whites, almond or vanilla flavoring, sugar and coconut. The recipe called for sweetened coconut but I used unsweetened and they were perfect for me. I really ate eleven....my first cookie binge. I don't feel sick but I feel like I had plenty, then a little more. I have to call my mother. I need the lecture on moderation. :pigtail:

Dj,

In MC world, there are different guidelines for moderation...... 11 is very reasonable!!!

Only more than 20 would need a discussion about moderation....

Life is too short! Enjoy, make the most of simple pleasures.

I received a telegram from my intestines this morning :lol: :lol: :lol: They thanked me for the nice macaroons and said that they prefer that I have half as many next time. They also asked me to skip a day or two before having more :lol: :lol: :lol:

Well, at least I got carried away with something that's on my "ok" list and had a little loss of firmness and not D. Things are going in the right direction. With seven months of changed diet and Entocort, macaroons are fine for me when consumed in a reasonable quantity - they have quite a bit of fiber.

I got another telegram from my intestines. They retracted their previous statement about having half as many macaroons next time and suggested two next time instead. :neutral:

:lol: You sound me. Anytime I find something new to try, I always overdo it. Apparently "moderation" is not a word that can be found in the operator's manual that came with me. :lol:

It is suspected that some of the hardest material known to science can be found in the skulls of GI specialists who insist that diet has nothing to do with the treatment of microscopic colitis.

Well, maybe we are not meant to be moderate, Tex. I'm not moderate in general and I've gotten by so far. :grin:
