The edamame diet

25 03 2008

I was introduced to edamame by Mrs. Mingo and I’m hooked.  In the past 2 weeks, I’ve eaten half a pound of edamame more than 7 times.   It’s so easy and so cheap!  I mean, it rivals Ramen noodles as a budget-friendly snack.  You can grab a bag for 75cent on sale at almost any grocery store.  And the prep is even easier: boil for 5 minutes, drain and salt to taste.  Easy, peasy Japan-easy (is that offensive?).

After noticing the scale number creep a little higher last week, I had to detox some of the food I was eating, including all the pizza and dumplings and fried chick’n tofu.  Believe me, unhealthy vegetarians are NOT hard to find!  LOL Relaxing at the crib/coffee shop with no job obligations bores me.  I fix it with food!

The scale has gone down a bit, but I’m eating so much edamame I’m worried about negative health effects.  Like, can I consume too much protein?  Of all the things to be worried about…

And Joe Muggs is so much better than Starbucks. :-)

I may try it, but I don’t think we have any store around here that sell it. I guess I will have to look tonight when I go to collegetown.

I bought a bag the other day. Took me a while to find it at any stores here. I have yet to prepare them though… Mostly b/c I forget they’re there. The potato chips are always closer by.

Just because I roamed the aisles of the store in seach of it does not mean I’m hooked.
