How serious about your diet are you?
 
My girlfriend, who is on a gluten-free diet and buys organic produce (aka flushing perfectly good money down the toilet) rightfully gives me shit for the stuff I keep in my cupboard. Admittedly, I still shop like a teenager who's been left alone for the weekend, though I do eat lots of veggies and cook regularly for myself.

So how about you? Twinkies and kale? Microwaved frozen dinners? Cereal for dinner?

i go back and forth from being really good to being really bad. good for me is eating good balanced meals and bad is just going out all the time. when i'm doing well i eat a ton of vegetables and lean meats, but i don't really cook anything complicated, more like just a chicken breast and a salad or maybe put the chicken breast in the salad. fruit. oatmeal with fruit. veggie burgers, turkey burgers, baked fish. also i like v8 and like the potassium (low sodium v8 that is) and also have been drinking more coconut water lately which is kinda my soda compromise

I try to keep sugar intake down as it gives you man boobs.

ilikeplanets 10-22-2016 03:02 PM

Oh man, what a can of worms for me. I prefer healthy foods when I can afford them. I deeply, DEEPLY lament that junk food is cheaper. I have a plethora of food issues....I'm picky (understatement). My weakness is desserts and I don't like most meat. or sauces. Or dressings. I like bland and simple things like carbs and produce. Fruit is the best food.

ilikeplanets 10-22-2016 03:04 PM

I live off milk a lot, and smoothies. And soups. I'd rather drink my meals, it's easier on me.

ilikeplanets 10-22-2016 03:06 PM

That's because of stomach problems, though. I love way rich and spicy food tastes but it's more trouble!e than its worth. Vanilla ice cream is my best friend to cool that shit down. Like, I ate toast this morning and threw it up. :/

Yeah, but if you can grow em big enough, there's no reason to leave the house.

That is a big problem for me as well. I mean, I always carve a chunk of my budget out for veggies and fruit, but it's all too easy to live on a box of pasta and a can of peanut butter for a week when I'm especially broke.

I definitely need to get with the leaner protein. I usually eat a lot of hamburg, sausage, etc. Not good for me, but damn do I love it.

I have no diet, I eat everything. I just prefer healthy foods

If I hear dollar menu one more time I'm gonna scream. (It fills me up all day but it's just disgusting)

LaBelle 10-22-2016 04:12 PM

I've been eating a little bit of everything, but just have a meal per day.
Which I know is supposedly awful for one's health. But it's been working fine for me.

LaBelle 10-22-2016 04:12 PM

I do love all fast foods and greasy foods tho.

Could go to a mcdonald's right about now.

ilikeplanets 10-22-2016 04:12 PM

Moving out will be wonderful for my health, I won't have to work around anyone else's diet

teh b0lly!!1 10-22-2016 11:30 PM

i wouldn't call it a 'diet', but in general i try to eat as healthily as possible.

brown rice, lentils, eggs, brown bread with various seeds in it, home cooking stuff, pasta. i rigorously drink one lemon per day - half at morning time, half before bed.
i go out quite a bit to eat with friends at various restaurants, mostly chinese ones, so i guess that might not be the best health stuff out there for you, but it ultimately can't be that bad if you choose the right dishes. lots of veggies, dumplings, etc etc.

I once lost 40 pounds in one summer eating nothing but Wendy's.

ohnoitsbonnie 10-23-2016 03:02 AM

Not at all thank you

T&T 10-23-2016 03:06 AM

why would I need to diet?

Ihaguitar 10-23-2016 04:44 AM

Because you fancy a colour change?

LaBelle 10-23-2016 08:17 AM

If I had a hook up for quality fresh fish, i'd eath sushi every day.

FoolofaTook 10-23-2016 12:33 PM

All you guys who want to lose weight should give your food to me. I will eat it for you I promise. Lol that's also what she said.

myosis 10-23-2016 12:48 PM

what you eat daily is called a diet.

FoolofaTook 10-23-2016 12:52 PM

I know, you infernal landlubber, I was using it in the conventional sense.

When I make mistakes it's intentional.

FoolofaTook 10-23-2016 12:53 PM

You goddamn swab!

Ihaguitar 10-23-2016 12:57 PM

I think I ate something dodgy, I'm doing a runny poo. ☹

yeah people misuse that word constantly. i just refrain from eating junk everyday and try to eat at least a vegetable a day, cook meals at home, take lunch to school, and get plenty of protein and snack on things like nuts, boiled and sliced eggs on rye toast with cayenne pepper (chomp), baby carrots, chopped red bell pepps with lime and salt and cayenne (chomp).

but i don't deprive myself of anything. i am going to make a cake today and maybe spinach artichoke dip. and last night at the blackhawks game i went wild and had a hot-dog, sandwiches, all types of cheese and crackers and crudites and dips, and red bull and vodkas. i would have eaten some cake if they had any.

"everything in moderation, even moderation" is the best approach to a diet, i think.

FoolofaTook 10-23-2016 02:52 PM

In theory I am vegan.

In practice omnivore.

Elphenor 10-23-2016 03:37 PM

had pizza so many times they sent me a free pizza card which I cashed in today

FoolofaTook 10-23-2016 05:46 PM

Did it come with a complimentary set of unclogged arteries?
