you may be wondering my diet. i've developed a philosophy that our bodies are ment to be a certain weight (whatever that may be for an individual). when you look at most older people, they tend to be smaller then they were in their prime. i think this is more their natural size without all the extra garbage food thrown in. i know this has a little to do with the Buddhism as well. only eating what you need, not extra to be sick.
the alternative name of the diet is the "broke-ass" diet. since leaving the O in 2006, it has been an uphill financial struggle for sure. car, pets, meds, docs ect... i really have to stop buying the garbage i used to at the store since i can't afford it as much. now it's more a treat for sure. my main $ purchases for the week are pepsi & my del taco ($3.23 a meal! seriously...i can eat once a day, be full, not be broke & what i get is healthy) usually the $ goes on house stuff, cat stuff & bill fun. i just can't bring myself to waste it on food anymore when i really don't need it.
generally, i eat 1 meal a day (usually a small cheeseburger & fries)
snack on instant oatmeal (gruel as my friends call it) & granola bars
trying to eat more fruits & veggies but it is hard! lol..
oh i treat myself to a glass of pepsi a day on average in the evening & my 1 coffee in the am (with lots of sugar & cream)
instead of chips i always have a box of cereal arond to crnch on. right now i've been into special k
i drink gallons of water a day which i know helps & don't drink any alcohol
quit smoking about 2 years ago, never even looked back on that addiction
i walk alot at work
