[ADULT - Medical Update] Angelsboi Q & A

[JPL]

I think I gain two pounds every time I game.

Perhaps the constant sitting and snacking...

 

[Angelsboi]

I also forgot to mention my blood preasure.

98 over 54

better than it was last time .... 80 over 20

Hey, very nice! Keep hanging in there!

 

[Carnifex]

Great news! Glad to hear about the weight gain, Angelsboi

Talk about killing a man with kindness.

Folks, he's got to build his strength back up. Start off with soups and stews, progressing to more substantial fare in due time.

Plus he's going to have his bad days. He aint out of the woods yet. But…

Ryan, you stay determined to get through this and have a good life, you'll have a better chance of making it to the stage of advanced decrepitude that is 24.

That's all well and good, soups and stews are great. So is pasta.

With that in mind, here's a great, healthy recipe that also happens to be fattening!

Pasta Primavera

Veggies
1/2 stick of butter, room temp.
1-2 cups grated fresh parmesan (not from a can)

Steam vegetables: broccoli, carrots, peas, whatever.
Boil up some pasta.
Drain.
While the pasta is still hot, add the butter.
Once the butter is melted, add cheese, tossing through pasta.
Add veggies.
Eat.

If it weren't for the fact that we've got a guy who has to gain some weight, I'd find that oxymoron funny. For the vast majority of folks, fattening and healthy are mutually exclusive.

However, let's note that putting on weight and putting on fat are not necessarily the same thing. Somehow, I don't think Angelsboi will be served by a spare tire

 

[Goobermunch]

Fair enough. The pasta primavera recipe isn't one I'd recommend eating every day. However, if you use fresh vegetables, it's actually fairly nutritious, although it does contain a fairly large amount of fat.

Fat, in and of itself, is not necessarily unhealthy. In fact, it's a great source of long term energy. It's excessive fat. Nutrition should be guaged over time, not from meal to meal. Eating one healthy meal doesn't make up for months of Big Macs.

How does that line go again...

"It's always the darkest before the dawn."

Christianity may have a history of persecuting those of different sexual orientations, and not everyone believes in the concept of a monotheistic, all-powerful god, but nevertheless, some words to consider in your time of trouble:

For though I should walk in the midst of the shadow of death, I will fear no evils, for thou art with me. Thy rod and thy staff, they have comforted me.

Thou hast prepared a table before me against them that afflict me. Thou hast anointed my head with oil; and my chalice which inebreateth me, how goodly is it!

And thy mercy will follow me all the days of my life. And that I may dwell in the house of the Lord unto length of days.

 

[Mistwell]

Angelsboi...do we need to arrange for you to get some...ummm...herbs...to induce increased appetite? It's been medically proven to be effective in many cases....

 

[William Ronald]

Angelsboi,

Good news on the blood pressure. Your on a roll, Ryan!


Mistwell,

If I recall correctly, Ryan indicated that he is taking something in pill form to stimulate his appetite.
