Thank you Tincup and Circular for the info about resistant starch. I am not keen on cooking and usually make big batches of whatever I cook creating a week's worth of steelcut oats with blueberries and vegetable stews (including my favorite, potatoes) so I don't have to do major cooking too often.

I'm an 81 year old 4/4 with Frank's sign on both ears. I would have said I didn't have it until I looked in the mirror. I just never noticed it. My right earlobe is way thicker than my left. A few earrings have too short a post for my thicker right earlobe. My thicker earlobe seems to look more like...

Hello Scaredstiff1223, I found out I was an e4/e4 when I was 76 five years ago. I had been a yo yo dieter since I was 11. I'd weighed 255 pounds twice in my life. Learning I was an e4/e4 was a good motivator in getting me to keep my weight stable. Because I have ADD (attention deficit disorder) I go...

Andru, thanks for the explanation.
