That's really all it is. Watch your portions and exercise at least a moderate amount and you never have to worry about chasing health food fads.Hurricane2k9 wrote:
i agree with this pretty much. I'd still eat more unhealthy foods if it wouldn't be risking killing me before my time. As it stands I've been on a diet for the past few weeks but I still let myself enjoy tasty foods.Jay wrote:
It's clearly the lifestyle that many of you have chosen. I just fail to see the point. Why deny yourself pleasure just to add a few theoretical months to your lifespan? Who's to say you won't get hit by a car next week or have a heart attack at 55 anyway?
If you want to jump out of airplanes, or ride motorcycles at high speed, or eat unhealthy food... if it makes you happy, I say do it. Life sucks enough without going out of your way to strip out anything you might gain a sense of enjoyment out of. Now, some people genuinely like to exercise and stare at their abs in the mirror or whatever, and that's fine. I just have a problem when they try to preach to me and others, especially when it leads to excise taxes and other attempts at forcing their lifestyle on others.
I don't like lean burgers. I want those juices to flow. I want butter in my diet. And salt. And undercooked fish and beef. Bring it on!
I think the key is to make the food yourself (or at least eat at good restaurants, not McDonald's) and to watch your portions.
