Are you a healthy eater?

[Lamp]

you just can't go wrong with a thick hot chunky soup on a freezing cold winters day

(unless you pour the boiling soup over your genitals...unless you're into that kind of thing of course...)

 

[mooSe_]

also with some fresh baked bread to go with it

Woot, 8,5 / 20, at least in winter. But now seriously, I don't really care for any kind of "this rox" list, as long as I'm feeling well. My general lifestyle isn't really healthy and I drink a lot of coffee, but hey, I got no weight issues (well or maybe into the other direction ) and I'm ill like twice a year (and even then it's maybe a cold or a headache or something like that).

15 - I do get some soy and red wine and garlic, but not everyday. But then I'm careful about my diet. If I'd have scored myself a year ago it would be closer to 10.

Read a recent study on Green Tea, 9 out of 10 contains pesticides that are either banned or heavily regulated by the EU. One of the toxins found is Azinphos-methyl - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia. But none was higher than the threshold value.

Green tea is worse for you than coffee if you drink too much. The secret of green tea is to drink a small amount a day and not to make it strong. People treat grean tea like instant coffee and brew it with a whole tea spoon, you only need a pinch if you are using the dried leaves.

 

[Zenith]

I eat most of that list over the course of a week. I use olive oil if a recipe requires it and if I do something in a saucepan I always use olive oil, goose fat for roast potatoes though. I cook quite a lot of Mexican and Italian food so get plenty of tomato, garlic and fresh chillies (I grow my own) I only use wholegrain bread, I can't eat white bread. I also have porridge most mornings, with honey.

Things that should also be on the list that I eat

Honey (good natural sugars and vitamins)
Red Meat (high in iron and protein)
White Meat (High in protein)
Milk (High in calcium, low in fat)

Stick exclusively to that list and you will end up as a malnourished waif with a green complexion like Gillian McKeith.

Everything in moderation.

I agree with all of that except the milk part. Its a good thing to stay away from most things made of milk, since the calcium can be gained through other products, with even lower amount of fat. I find milk just a excessive way to gain fat.

 

[Ch3tan]

Milk is not just calcium though, it's protein, and no one said you only have to drink full fat milk. Fat is an essential part of any balanced diet, people go overboard trying to reduce their fat intake.

 

[Lamp]

what about 1% fat milk ? Skimmed / skinny stuff. Thats gotta be low in fat and still contain plenty of calcium ?

 

[Fafnir]

Since some vitamins are fat soluble you need fat for the body to take them up. And when you use real fat in food you stay full longer. And get full faster.
And food taste more when you use real butter, cream etc.

 

[TdC]

what about 1% fat milk ? Skimmed / skinny stuff. Thats gotta be low in fat and still contain plenty of calcium ?

yes, it also tastes vile.

 

[Lamp]

I actually prefer skimmed milk. I think full fat milk tastes revolting and even semi-skimmed makes me retch

 

[mooSe_]

If god had wanted us to drink skimmed milk then he wouldn't have put so much fat in it. Skimmed/semi-skimmed milk is an abomination!

 

[Job]

The whole thing is a steaming pile of junkscience bollocks.

'Healthy' was invented by us and rammed home by misinformed focus groups and veggie activists.
ALL food is 'healthy' as long as it doesnt poison you.

Everything you eat is turned into fat by the body if you eat excess calories, regardless of how 'healthy' it is.

We associate fat with bad because the TV has conditioned you into thinking this.
Eating healthily will do you no more good than living from Mc Donalds in fact a big mac meal is perfect food.
All this pesticide worrying shite is based on a lack of knowledge and scaremongering.
All 'natural' foods are full of pesticides and carconigens straight out of the ground but noone is testing these substances on rats genetical modified to get cancer then knocking out scary bullshit to the media who then add there little bit of urban myth and 'over the garden wall' clueless conclusions to make the uninformed masses keep believing this bollocks because it
'seems to be true'.

Salt doesn't raise your blood pressure
Eating transfats won't increase your chance of a heart attack
'E's , which stands for 'passes by the European union as safe' wont make you ill.
Brans flakes wont protect you from bowel cancer

All the above pseudo science mainstream bolaks has not one ounce
of evidence to back it up.

Bullshit everywhere..everything is bullshit, tightly wrapped around the truth in case it gets out.

The six major salt trials came to no conclusion either way, but somehow from this we have jumped to total lies in adverts on the telly.

Roughage and bowel cancer was totally based on completly unscientific guessing by one bloke who went to live with some African tribe, his finding were later found to be utter shite, but still we sort of think it might be true.

There is not one single shred of evidence to suppose transfats are bad for you, it's just based on statistical buggery by people who have allready decided its true.

 

[Lamp]

shite

lol, what planet are you living on ? Its not Earth

 

[Ezteq]

lol as we speak I have the oven heating and ready to receive pizza and a beer chilling...


and yes your views on soup are correct it does indeed rock, specially when its homemade, and accompanied by fresh bread too I love that makes me feel all warm and rustic lol

 

[tris-]

i refuse to discuss public nutrition and policies, it makes my brain explode with rage like a few other things.
so in summary, shove that list up on your anarexic arse hole.

 

[Lamp]

you wouldn't be so bad tempered if you ate a kilo of sea weed every morning covered in a dressing of porridge, tuna oil, garlic, tomatoes & blueberries

 

[tris-]

the last time i was involved in this was a training day a few weeks ago. it invovled an anarexic 50 year old and an overweight 60 year old telling us how people should eat, and how food manufacturers must reduce everything and anything in their food.
one of them had the balls to mention to my colleague that she was eating a chocolate bar.
no shit bitch, im sure she realises that.

old man: "you do realise you are eating a chocolate bar?"

woman: "no shit sherlock"

 

[TdC]

why does nothing surprise me any more?

 

[Lamp]

I bet if you woke up tomorrow morning with a large naked Russian man lying next to you with his hand gently cupped over your balls, you'd be pretty surprised

 

[Jupitus]

Don't be daft, Lamp - it's Teedles we're talking about....

 

[Marc]

For those that think eating healthy is a load of bollox, well try it for yourself.

Eat nothing but processed food for a few weeks then swap and eat healthy home cooked food for a few weeks and i guarantee you will feel a hell of a lot better.

If you say you dont notice anything you are lying.

Processed food is fckin minging anyway.

I'm going to pretend this little episode never happend


srsly though, I'd be surprised waking up next to a man. They seem to hate my snoring with the utmost intensity, whereas the strange creatures known as woman sometimes even profess to find it endearing o0

 

[Huntingtons]

Crock of shit imo.

Our grandparents wre drinking, smoking and eating crap, fatty food for years and they all lived to ripe old ages.

Its only in modern times, with all the additives and other shit they put in food that are making people unhealthy.

Looking at that list, it appears to be all the food listed is quite pricey, compared to things like fish fingers, chips and burgers.

This healthy living bollocks is designed for the middle classes methinks....

what? are you shitting me?

 

[old.Tohtori]

what? are you shitting me?

Actually the healthy eating crap has taken an over-drive.

Not to mention they change the rules daily.
