...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
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.
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
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.

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.
Lowish carbs, high quality fats, avoid processed foods, coffee okay, salt probably okay, low to moderate alcohol probably okay (but watch out for carbs).
I cook and clean and take care of everything and work and pay all the bills.
My wife is a millennial.
Eat a balanced diet, sufficient intake of fluids, don’t overeat anything, get enough exercise or activity, avoid or eliminate unhealthy habits, get enough social interaction and rest.
Have faith in and enjoy praising God. It’s not that complicated.
Get your cholesterol tested. If your numbers are good, you can show your wife and prove to her that your diet is not having an adverse effect on your health.
If your numbers are bad, listen to your wife. Or, you could do what I did - ignore the nagging.
It is definitely healthiest to avoid mentioning to the wife the restaurants that you go to with the girlfriend.
Basically, do the opposite of medical conventional wisdom. Keep carbs down. Eat animal fats (bacon, butter, clarified butter) and stay away as much as possible from poisonous vegetable oils like canola, corn, peanut, etc.
Don’t worry about eating cholesterol.
Get rid of processed crap and eat real food. Steaks, eggs, chicken, pork...and veggies! Fresh ones taste better.
Don’t worry about salt unless you have an existing heart problem. In fact, make sure you’re getting enough salt. Many people don’t (especially those who don’t consume a lot of processed food) and the government recommended amounts are not enough for most people.
Get your T levels checked and make sure it is optimal. If it isn’t, make it optimal.
Lift weights. Why? Because being strong feels awesome and you know what people with lots of muscle mass can do? EAT. A LOT! :-)
If you eat right, don’t drink or smoke, get plenty of rest and exercise, you’ll get eight more years in an old folks home.
Don’t eat too much. Go at least 16 hours each day without taking in any calories. Do a 24 hour fast every week or so. Limit carbs. Strength train at least once per week. Don’t sit around too much, go for a walk.
