Similar for me. 3 cups of coffee before noon, none after. Black tea, one or two, in the afternoon, with a spoon of local honey.
No soda ever...at least very rare. I quit orange juice, too much sugar. Low (starchy) carbs, veggies, and meat. Very little fried food, especially fries.
I believe ‘fries + coke = evil mix’. Many of these energy drinks also have loads of sugars.
My biggest fail...I like IPA beers. Generally, I feel pretty good in my mid-50’s.
That's not a fail. Think of all the nutrients in a organic, sustainable, free trade probiotic refreshing beverage. That's not a failure but a burst of freedom rejuvenating the spirit decision which gives you a reason to get up the next day and take on lifes challenges. Bravo to all of the IPA drinkers out there.
LOL...I feel like I’m talking to my own self!
IPA is my favorite. Lots of hoppy flavor, West Coast Style Nothing “fruity.” Black coffee, usually one decaf (Swiss water process) which is really bland and one French Roast for robust flavor. I DO like good Cabernet Sauvignon wine and we have lots of them in CA and up into OR and WA.
No soda ever. Well, maybe one or even two per year.
I love fresh-squeezed OJ, though, but it’s a rare treat. It’s now about $20 per quart! Egads. We stopped in Redding, CA last year heading to our Idaho place and, of all things, there was a guy in a pickup truck selling oranges. Those were really good.
Last night I split some chicken breasts and pounded them out to “cutlets,” then breaded them in Panko bread crumbs and a BBQ rub, then fried them in avocado oil. Those were really good! I ran out of Panko crumbs and made a couple more using potato starch flour on a whim. That was really good, too.
