Healthy Eating

[Ian]

I've just been tidying the flat up (anything to avoid revision!), and I'm looking at sooooo much unhealthy food overflowing from the cupboards leftover from Christmas.

Normally I think we eat quite well, 95% of days there are a good few portions of fresh veg and no ready meals - so not too bad overall... but probably a few too many snacky things!

Anyone here an uber-healthy eater?

 

[itsme]

Nope!
If I had listened to the so called experts telling me what and what-not to consume I am afraid I would have become deceased years ago through malnutrition, so the bottom line in MHO is to eat as your eyes tell you, everything in moderation.
What I like> most things! What I dislike> anything that contains either of the following, currants/sultanas/cherries,

I do NOT intend to die of 'natural causes' so I just keep taking the pills.

Conversely, is .....

Anyone here an uber-UNhealthy eater?

I'm a member of the second list, or was until 31st December, and probably will be again soon when I get bored

I work in demolition, and as you can guess everyone there goes for fry ups every day basicly. So I normally get me a sausage cob too .

I barely east fruit, but i drink alot of apple and orange juice to try and make up .

 

[floppybootstomp]

I try, I really do

But.

I mostly cook just for myself, so it's real hard to use all that fresh salad and veg up, I often end up throwing some of it away.

So, what I do, is eat loads of fruit and few vegetables.

Always munching on a grapefruit, orange, grapes, strawberries and stuff.

Plus loads of mineral water and fruit juice.

It was easier when I was part of a family of five, but taking hours to cook a meal for one or two is just not practical, imo.

im just tucking in to some strawberry cheescake for pudding, had Pizza for tea.

Mostly healthy I'm afraid although not fanatical about it, I enjoy the occasional pizza or cheesecake, but I'm afraid I don't like chocolate or sweet things very much. My weakness would be cheese! I could live off the stuff if I had my way & they'd have to put in a new motorway just to get around me! So I stick to the low-fat stuff which tastes so insipid I can say no to it no trouble.
Mind you, it might not be so healthy if I was within walking distance of the nearest chippie

Im pleased with myself

For breakfast i had a bowl of yeo valley fat free bio live vanilla organic yoghurt with 2 cut up fair trade bananas

I eat pretty healthily I suppose, loads of fresh fruit and veg etc. I have a wheat intolerance so I avoid wheat and gluten products - get most of my carbs from rice and baked potatoes, which I need as I do alot of sport. A normal breakfast would be gluten free muesli with fresh fruit and yoghurt.
I don't really drink alcohol unless its a special occasion, maybe the odd glass of wine with a meal.
Like Ciri I have a weakness for cheese - just love it, the ripe and smellier the better

I have at least 3 sunday dinners a week ..meat , veg , yorkshire puds , gravy and lashings of lager .. toast crisps and coffee/tea ...eeeeeeeeeerrrm and i am still going strong ... I love sprouts and green veg ?

How's about....

A frying pan full of beef lard to cook:

Cheapo sausages, full of fat and offal
Streaky bacon, rinds on
2 Eggs
Slices of black pudding
2 fried slices of cheap white bread

with baked beans, a cup of strong coffee with full fat milk and 6 sugars.

And washed down with a pint of non-diet coca cola

And to wrap it up, two jam doughnuts

Ok, who can come up with an unhealthier meal than that?

Thanks god you posted Flopps, I was beginning to think I was the only unhealthy heathen on this forum

Hey, I don't actually eat that, lol, it was kinda hypothetical

I do, however, fry bacon and eggs sometimes, the hell with it

But I use sunflower or olive oil and lean bacon.

And black pudding is gross, hehe

I agree with you there, I'd swap it for a bucket of 'shrooms. Now that makes it into a good healthy diet ...... doesn't it ...... Oh well there's always weightwatchers

 

[muckshifter]

My diatition said ...

weightwatchers foods are un-healthy.

I agree with you Mucks, they make you go all thin and skinny ...

....... Oh right, they're supposed to, now I understand

 

[crazylegs]

Well, when I said it was gross, I mean I'd actually eat it, but....

Made mostly from pig's blood?

Nah, pass

Actually went veggie from 96 - 02, am kinda close to it now

 

[crazylegs]

Made mostly from pig's blood?

Yeah but it tastes good... If we all knew what went into our food we'd never eat it....
