My strong suspicion is that heredity and personal physiology and conditions of exercise are what makes food good or bad for you.  However, in most cases, I think being abstemious is good for most people, most of the time. After all, "You dig your grave with your teeth." · ·  I totally agree with your above dietary pearls of wisdom, and wish to throw in one more: If you don't get a "lift" from what you eat in that it makes you feel better, naturally invigorated and revitalized, or, conversely, saps your energy or makes you feel lethargic, then you're eating the wrong stuff.

Indeed. Today it seems that around 82.3% of the Eugene residents have decided they are allergic to gluten. The allergy du jour in our neck. If one is predisposed to that precondition one can find “gluten free” anything here. Which reminds me of a clip I recently saw from the satire program “Portlandia” in which a “Allergy Pride Parade”  was slated for the day. Then I envision some starving children somewhere refusing to eat a piece of freshly baked crusty bread because it happened to contain wheat.

Funny, because bread is the one thing that almost all cultures have. Precisely. Has not the gluten free mania presented itself in SoCal?
Get your facts first, then you can distort them as you please.

A number of years ago a friend lost about 25 lbs and looked a lot better. Some people can carry a few extra pounds and still look good and some can't. He was in the latter category. At any rate, all the diet du jour crazies kept pestering him for his "secret." What kind of diet? What kind of diet did you use? He said that he ate the "eat less diet." No one wanted to hear that.

My diet book reads: Eat less-exercise more.
Think that could be a best seller Joe?

No. I'm a firm believer in that you've got to sweat. Sweat more and eat less is not only healthy, but a good way to maintain a normal weight or to lose weight. A lot of people don't want to hear that.

Think that could be a best seller Joe? Although these pages have shown I have eaten well in terms of nice food, I have lost 2 stone this year - Mrs Schlack too ( smaller portions, cutting out all incidental eating, using the frying pan a lot less and sadly no butter). Beer was except from the diet but, i would only usually drink once a week anyway. The key here for me has been consistent discipline. The battle against flab is won in the store, not in the kitchen. Dont bring the sh*te into your house. Exercise is not all that helpful in losing weight as far as calorie burning goes. 15 mins on the exercise bike burns 70 calories. Dont think you can burn off a burger with a walk, however more exercise does train the body to use nutrients more efficently.

Congratulations! The eat less diet triumphs once again! Here in the states there are some people that pay extra for third rate processed diet food instead of simply just reducing their portions.
