Guys (not gals, I said NOT gals) Given: our wives want us around and in good health for years to come. So here is my question. Do you get 'advice' on your diet from time to time, even articles you are asked/assigned to read? I believe in healthy eating, well sort of, but there comes a point where I need to draw a line. Any words of wisdom? This might be interesting. ;)
...eat a few salads a week...crank up the iPhone and walk a few miles a day...???...the view this of year is great..
If you want to live a long time, tell whoever is "assigning" you articles that you need to have sex twice a day.
A balanced diet for a man:
1) 2 cups of coffee in the morning
2) 2 cokes in the afternoon
3) 4 beers at night to neutralize all of the caffeine
..the view this ^time^ of year is great..
It’s math.
Eat less
move more.
Definitely do not raid fridge within a few hours before bedtime, unless it’s straight celery.
(Do as I say, not as a I do).
/over and out.
LOL!
My problem with all the conventional wisdom is that it changes so often and is of suspicious agenda, and the science is often shoddy if they give you the data, and you take the time to investigate it.
Oh, lard and butter are bad for you! Here, eat this hydrogenated vegetable oil instead. Oh wait, HVO will kill you, eat something else! Eat all carbs and no fat, wait carbs are bad.
Coffee bad, coffee good, alcohol bad, moderate alcohol good, etc. etc. etc.
Just rely on the way our moms and grandmas taught us to eat. Reasonable portions, reasonable balance, not too much sugar, and so on, and you’ll be fine.
I eat that way, and the B(S)MI thinks I’m obese, but guess what, all my blood work is better than the average.
Sometimes mustard..and pickles.
Now and again....beer and pretzels...and pickles and mustard.
Occasionally....sardines and mustard.
Am I wrong?
I forgot free cheese......
Make sure your diet includes the four food groups:
1. Regular Food
2. Health Food
3. Junk Food
4. Beer
Might take two hours...might take 10 minutes.
Ya never know...............
What is your goal? Low carb high fat diet (Mediteranean diet type diet) works for most of us. Are you wanting to lose weight? Longevity? Have more energy? These things would be helpful.
Steak, taters, pinto beans, corn bread....and beer
Not eating is important. Skip breakfast or dinner, will maximize your sleep fasting time. Your insulin hormone drops. That tells your body to burn fat.
Fast for 3 days straight and you burn 6 pounds.
Secret revealed.
Being no longer mostly dead, and wishing to keep it that way for a long time, I follow a pretty strict diet. My wife doesn’t need to give advice, or ask me to read articles.

“Coffee bad, coffee good,...”
If you have high blood pressure, coffee iis bad. Otherwise, enjoy!
Lowish carbs, high quality fats, avoid processed foods, coffee okay, salt probably okay, low to moderate alcohol probably okay (but watch out for carbs).
Sounds about right..
I would throw in an occasional chocolate chip cookie.
I cook and clean and take care of everything and work and pay all the bills.
My wife is a millennial.
