I am vegetarian; although, strictly speaking, not by choice (medical reasons led to the imposition of that particular diet). I don't mind at all, though; I was never a huge fan of most meats.
What's your diet?

I am pretty much High Protein and fruits and veggies... I live on protein shakes.. and totally love them.. My whole family has shakes everyday.. They are a great source of food... due to the purity of the ingredients... and the places it has all come from...
I guess I could be classed as a Health Nut.. hehe... and it is alllll good.. lol

Vegetarian, I guess. I eat some foods that were prepared with a bit of dairy, and I love the honey. I don't slam milk though. Yogurt I eat occasionally.
Yesterday, I screwed up. I ate a friend's pasta that had a small amount of ground beef. Didn't notice until his sister asked me why I was eating something with meat. I just said screw it and ate the rest anyhow whilst making a vain attempt to avoid the meat. I need to be more careful. But really, so long as I am not buying or choosing it myself, or taking it when it is offered, I'm not too concerned.

We don't eat any red meat. Only fish.
A friend of ours is a restaurant inspector and we don't eat any food we don't prepare ourselves. Never had a taste for restaurant or fast food traces of urine, feces or snot.

>>HEALTH QUESTION & ANSWER SESSION
>>
>>Q: I've heard that cardiovascular exercise can prolong life; is this true?
>>
>>A: Your heart is only good for so many beats, and that's it... don't waste
>>them on exercise. Everything wears out eventually. Speeding up your heart
>>will not make you live longer; that's like saying you can extend the life
>>of your car by driving it faster. Want to live longer? Take a nap.
>>
>>
>>Q: Should I cut down on meat and eat more fruits and vegetables?
>>
>>A: You must grasp logistical efficiencies. What does a cow eat? Hay and
>>corn. And what are these? Vegetables. So a steak is nothing more than an
>>efficient mechanism of delivering vegetables to your system. Need grain?
>>Eat chicken. Beef is also a good source of field grass (green leafy
>>vegetable). And a pork chop can give you 100% of your recommended daily
>>allowance of vegetable products.
>>
>>
>>Q: Should I reduce my alcohol intake?
>>
>>A: No, not at all. Wine is made from fruit. Brandy is distilled wine, that
>>means they take the water out of the fruity bit so you get even more of
>>the goodness that way. Beer is also made out of grain. Bottoms up!
>>
>>
>>Q: How can I calculate my body/fat ratio?
>>
>>A: Well, if you have a body and you have fat, your ratio is one to one. If
>>you have two bodies, your ratio is two to one, etc.

>>program?
>>A: Can't think of a single one, sorry. My philosophy is: No Pain...Good !
>>
>>
>>Q: Aren't fried foods bad for you?
>>
>>A: YOU'RE NOT LISTENING!!! .. Foods are fried these days in vegetable oil.
>>In fact, they're permeated in it. How could getting more vegetables be bad
>>for you?
>>
>>
>> Q:Will sit-ups help prevent me from getting a little soft around the
>> middle?
>>
>>A: Definitely not! When you exercise a muscle, it gets bigger. You should
>>only be doing sit-ups if you want a bigger stomach.

Had a heart attack and quad bypass in April. On a low fat no salt added diet. No junkfood (donuts, cheesie puffs or (gulp) chocolate...
). 1% milk and 67% fat reduced margarine. Miracle Whip instead of Mayo. Cereal for breakfast not bacon and eggs. Because I now cook for myself not order out or go out, I can now make a light version of Hollandaise sauce so treat myself to Eggs Benny on some weekends. Have a young lady stay over for breakfast and feed her eggs benedict in morning........... Trying to limit my meat portions to pack of playing card size. Not a real veggie fan, carrots, peas, corn and cauliflower about all I like. Take a multivitamin daily. Lots of fruit and bread. Fish 4 times per week, beef, pork and chicken once per week.

I don't follow any diet. I lost a lot of weight this year, now I am two sizes smaller than I used to be this time last year. So now I can eat everything I want, whenever I want and in any quantities! I have a poor appetite, however, so that is not a problem.
