I will have a hamburger or some hot dogs maybe once a month. All things in moderation, and that’s how I eat what I please. That has worked for me. I am 67, my bloodwork and blood pressure are good, and I take no medications.
Me too. Yes, hot dogs are garbage food but eating one now and again is okay. Your body can handle it, assuming you're reasonably healthy. I'm also at a good weight and healthy.
The whole myth that with diets you "can't" eat certain things is nonsense. You can eat anything ... in moderation. Have a cup of ice cream (but not too often) instead of the whole pint. Sometimes I buy those little mini bags of Lay's potato chips because I love them. Only 150 calories and it satisfies my love of salt. If I bought a regular bag I'd eat far more of them.
