From Garfield the Cat comic:
There are 4 food Groups:
Fast, Fresh, Frozen, and Fried.
At our family Thanksgiving dinner one year: My Grandmother mentioned that the Doctor had recommended that Grandpa (who was 87 or so at the time) watch his diet more carefully. Grandpa said, "I've made it to 87 years old, I'll eat what I want...it's worked just fine so far!"
He passed away a couple of months short of his 100th birthday...lol.
"People often shy away from fish because they are concerned about mercury and contaminants," Avena says, "but don't be scared off."
Notice she doesn't answer that concern, she just tells us not to be scared off.
What are those? BTW, no one has answered my question why body-builders are so lean and muscular (without steroids). Everyone here should know the answer.
Surgical constipation combined with narcotic constipation is a bit more than just ordinary constipation. Bran muffins may work for some but for me it was a combined effort of a number of products.
5 Chilean Farmed Salmon Another great way to get your protein is through fish, specifically Chilean farmed salmon.
—
Like all farmed salmon it contains red dye to color the meat, antibiotics, cuprous oxide Cu₂O (bottom paint from the net pens), growth hormones, and anything else that make the fish grow to marketable size rapidly.
Wild caught Salmon contains none of those ingredients.
Fish pens destroy the environment beneath the pens with a pile of white jello-like substance consisting of fish and food waste, no fish of other animal can live anywhere near the pens. Fast currents only move the waste to a different place, spreading ecological death further.
Any one who would list farmed salmon as a healthy food is full of it and untrustworthy.
When I lived in Santa Fe, I’d get dried apples (I think they were dried; not sure anymore) at the Co-op. I loved those! They were chewy. Much better than that freeze dried cr-p they sell now.
Magnesium works well for that. I’ve seen magnesium gummies in the store.
Agreed. These nutrition idiots have destroyed American health.
“Meanwhile you are bombarded with ads that cannot be turned off.”
Yep. Adzilla sites. They lose me. So do adzilla app’s.
And coders generally piss me off (a segment of our society that does much mischief but gets little attention).
1 Oats (GMO?)
2 Avocados (yuck)
3 Pomegranates (not even in the stores here)
4 Lean Protein (We’ve got meat goats)
5 Chilean Farmed Salmon (saw some frozen Salmon in the store the other day, picked it up and read Product of Chile and thought to myself, tropical salmon? How’s that work. I put it back)
6 Eggs (Got a hen so we get truly free range eggs — she never gets locked in)
7 Legumes Canned (Canned, dry whatever)
8 Potatoes (we buy em, grow em, eat em)
9 Healthy Snacks (Grapes or maters for me)
10 Protein Powder (See eggs & lean meat above)
11 California Raisins (I get those Super Food Salads & sometimes they have raisins or prunes but other than that — see grapes above))
12 Freeze-Dried Fruit (Why? eat fresh)
13 Variety of Cheese ($$$$ We eat a little)
14 Mixed Nuts (lightly salted — mixed nuts always have an abundance of the cheapest nuts in them)
Avena likes Chilean salmon.
Avena likes Californian raisins.
Avena likes avocados
Avena must be a Hispanic living in Cali
The last I remember when working out was - PROTEIN, FATS, and some low index CARBS. I got fairly big for my small frame. Normal weight was 165lbs at 5'10". I got up to 190 with definition. My wife lost her most weight on the above which everyone knows as Atkins. Keto allows for a little more carbs. Could be wrong.
Nutri-System can also work if you stick to their plan of eating all the day. It works by increasing your metabolism, but is a pain to stick to and expensive.
Bottom line for me: Chicken salad&cheese with Triscuits (fiber), pro-biotic yogurt, and walking the treadmill 2-3 times a week. I'm 71 and feel I could take on a 40 year old. Although, probably get my ass kicked.
Forgot to mention a nasty burger every other week. And then there WERE the times out at a restaurant for a Steak! Looks like that will be possible in the near future! Yeah.
“Glad to read that eggs are good for you. I eat lots of them, scrambled, hard boiled, etc.”
During the initial coronavirus panic a Freeper was complaining that he saw someone hording eggs at the grocery store. The quantity he mentioned would not have a been a week’s supply for me.
“no one has answered my question why body-builders are so lean and muscular (without steroids)”
Steroids. And about 50 pounds of lean meat every day.
That’s what I thought. That diet wouldn’t work at all for me.
Don’t forget Soylent Green.
It’s the people’s food; made by people, for people, from people.
Body builders drink egg white, without yolk. Whites are protein, yolks have the cholesterol.
Lol, glad he enjoyed what he liked.
