What the frak CAN you eat anymore? Meat's bad for you. "Carbs" are bad for you. There we go, that's pretty much every frakkin' organic molecule.

food, health, heart

Since my vegetarian sister has had both thyroid issues and breast cancer (both of which have correlations to soy intake), yeah, I'm inclined to believe it.

I switched to almond milk about a year ago, though not for those reasons (sudden inexpensive availability is the big one; my last doctor telling me to increase my nut intake is another).

Almond milk is quite tasty.
Chocolate almond milk double so. :)

Eat what you want, but in reasonable moderation. And don't worry too much.

That's what I do anyway.

Someday you will die and your flesh will degrade to putresence and ash. All of us will be white noise, irrelevant blips in the face of an uncaring universe.

Eat lean meat, fruits and vegetables, nuts, and carbohydrates with a low glycemic index so they take more time and energy to digest. This will sustain your wafer-thin slice of mortality slightly longer in the face of entropy's all-grinding cosmic boot, and they are delicious om nom nom

Yes, THIS.

My new doctor just kinda handwaved at "carbs BAAAAAD", without making distinction between sugars and high-fiber starches.

That's assuming you can actually eat everything. Some of us are walking minefields of allergies.

Yeah, what others have said about eating well, and get out and get a little exercise once in awhile. That should help make the years you have a lot more pleasant and enjoyable to live out.

I eat meat, I eat eggs and dairy, but I keep active and mind my health. I have been cutting down on the carbs, but they're not just unilaterally bad. And my blood pressure and cholesterol are low, and I'm in excellent health in the various quantitative ways the medical profession evaluates such things.

Life is fatal. But enduring its death spiral can still be pleasant.

Exercise is really my biggest issue right now (that, and lots of rich food in easy lunch proximity). Back in February, I started a job that's an unhealthy commute from where I'm living now. Four hours of sitting in the car on top of eight hours parked at a desk has left me precious little get-out-and-take-long-walks time.

Once I figure out some way around THAT little detail, I'll be fine. I just want to get shed of some of this extra girth before it settles in for the long haul.
