Bob,

It has to do with calories. Pick up a bag of frozen veggies at the supermarket and see how many calories it has. Very few of us could eat a whole bag of frozen veggies (not the individual meal size). You will find that many mixes have between 100 and 200 calories for the whole bag! Even adding 100 or 200 calories for sauce still makes it very low cal - with high bulk which fills you up.

Of course each persons individual metabolism will affect things also.

P.S.

I am now back on Okinawa - if anyone wants anything let me know.

I have been eating more beans and grains and have been gaining weight much to my discomfort. If I add meat to the grains. I balloon up in weight rather quickly. How come my wife and I have to stick to mostly veggies to keep it down? We have a daughter-in- law vegetarian that eats twice as much as we do yet gains no weight. What's up with that? We tried the all fruit type of eating and that didn't work either. A few doctors talk about grains not being good for us or not optimal. The only thing we have come up with that works without feeling too uncomfortable with all the bloat from fiber is a few eggwhites, some apples and some tuna and

salads and that is about it. With the grains I have gone back up 10 lbs. Eating like a gorilla has not helped with the bloat! Any help?Bob
