When I was about 24 I would eat a whole package of bacon for breakfast.
I am now 66 and had a Quad By-pass operation just over a year ago...............
Damn! A whole package of bacon? I’m impressed, but nobody tried to stop you? Of course, at that age (24) I was already living on my own, and there was no one in the apartment to raise any objections on what I ate or drank.
Nobody was there except for Juanita, my Cocker Spainel puppy. I’m guessing it was that way for you too.
Thank God for Lipitor... Sadly, over 90% of our long term health is related to the genes you inherited. My family is a cancer family... Lots and lots of cancer. Other’s get the bad heart gene... Lots and lots of heart attacks.
The bypass was more likely necessitated by all the “vegetable” oils you’ve consumed over the years (corn, soybean, canola, etc) than by the bacon and eggs.
How many carbs were you consuming prior to your bypass?
Has your diet changed, since?
Not judging, just honestly curious.
I would eat a large pepperoni pizza by myself.
And other times I would eat a whole sub. Extra mayo of course.
This is back before everything got small.
