Heart disease..ive done a bit of research and the Mediterranean diet seems the way to go and reducing fat as much as possible..

Goly 592 Posted Friday at 22:33 Report Share Posted Friday at 22:33 Do you smoke? I know you were partial to a bong in your younger years? As for diet, just try and eat whole foods, less saturated fat, less sugar, more fibre, etc, and start a light exercise regime. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

TOMO 26,325 Posted yesterday at 08:45 Report Share Posted yesterday at 08:45 Look at the world around us...obesity is sky high in most western countries.... Now look at what's causing this over the last 50 years... The average American is now eating 50% less meat than they did 50 year ago....but red meat still gets the blame.... They blame mcdonald's burger king ..KFC etc.... But stop and think about the % of meat your eating at mcdonald's...mist of what you eat there is carbs and sugar... The bun...the salad on the burger...the sause the portion of fries...the coke...then the mC flurry.. Yet the 4 oz of meat gets the blame....as the yanks would say ...go figure 4 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

If you cut out carbs & sugars you are cutting out a massive amount of calories which brings obvious benefits, it's not the fad diet that's doing miracles, it's the fact that you're on a deficit and losing weight. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
