POLL---

Do you know what you're eating / care about it?

that.

my mother buys organic food... i do not eat 100% organic
though (when it comes to yogurts sweet things etc, there
aren't much choice and sometimes it's not as good as
"normal" stuff), just mostly for vegetables fruits etc.

i am vegetarian except from shrimps sometimes.

i try to care also not to eat too much and quite
equilibrated, i don't want to become fat... (and i don't
like greasy stuff anyway - but i should care more about
sugary things) / i care a bit about this, but not as far as
going on a diet anyway, i don't like my body and it being
fitter wouldn't change much...

i eat anything and everything. I cook ground beef up and put
it all in a big bowl with ketchup sprayed on it. its
starting to catch up with me now tho since my job involves
lots of physical labor and gave me a lil bit of muscles that
will turn to flab if i keep going at this rate I betcha.

As I've got older (I'm 28 now), I've found that my body has
got less tolerant of certain foods. I now have to limit how
much sugar and wheat I eat, which is bloody annoying. If I
eat too much bread I get cronic pains in my stomach.

i'm 23 now and i wonder how much longer i can keep up eating
whatever i want, whenever i want, without getting fat.

i swear i could eat a cow and not gain weight. not going to
last forever tho.

either way, i still do care about what i eat. fortunately, i
eat anything, and i can really enjoy healthy stuff like
apples and salads.

i wish i could cut back on the alcohol tho. if anythings
going to get me in trouble, its alcohol.

this wine tastes awful.

i often forget to eat.

i guess that means i don't care.

but when i do eat, i eat anything i can fit in my mouth and
i eat a lot of it in case i forget to eat later.

wine is my fav alcohol! (the "healthiest" one to)... tastes
sweet... But I drink fruity wines, not really red/white
ones.
But now I have a couple of liters of Ouzo and a bottle of
Pina Colada at home, so I guess I will finnish (atleast part
of) them before buying wine...

oh yeah I care about what I eat. I'm rawfoodist (I eat a
vegan diet)...

imagine it took a lot of adjusting too?

> you're one of the lucky ones i guess... : )
i don't think it will change a lot.

some people gain weight easily, some don't.

"I drink fruity wines, not really red/white
ones."


> wtf does that mean, not really red nor really white ones?
light-red ('rosé') wines? o_O

I don't know what to tell you. I don't want it to sound too
crazy ;)
In short my detoxing was very easy but my cravings for
cooked food was VERY big at some times...
But I have learned a lot during the year and I started out
80% and am now 100% most days of the week (I haven't had any
big problems with cravings for a while now)...
I can tell you more if you're interested, just ask.

fruitywines, is what I call them (and that's what they are
called at systembolaget [fruitwines], the "only" place where
you can buy alcohol in Sweden)...
They are made of different types of fruit, like cherry-wine,
pear-wine, apple-wine, etc.
Not traditional wine. They taste great btw.

I've found that there's a certain satisfaction from cutting
out some of the crap food that you don't really need to eat.
Stuff that you're told to eat when your young through
advertisements and stuff. The food industry has a lot to
answer for!

You're right, all improvements in diet can be felt (more or
less - that's why even small improvements are good, and if
you feel better from them, they'll motivate you to improve
your diet even further).
Being 100% raw is ofthen described as a "high" - but really
this is how we're supposed to be feeling (if you think about
it; no animals eat cooked food).

talking about crap food, here's a very on-topic article
about "crap food"...

i'm a meat and potatoes person myself. i have to have some
sort of meat in my daily food. i won't tell you the
specifics of my diet, but let's just say, at this rate, I'll
die by the time I'm 25.

High fruit and
vegetable
consumption has been
associated
with a reduced risk
for cardiovascular
disease, several
common cancers, and
other chronic
diseases (such as
macular
degeneration and
cataracts).
Potential
preventative
mechanisms
identified in human
studies include:
antioxidant
activity, increased
detoxification,
immune stimulation,

decreased blood
clotting, reduced
blood pressure,
anti-bacterial /
-viral activity, and
improved cholesterol

metabolism.

Legumes (e.g.,
beans, peas,
lentils, and
peanuts) are
excellent sources of
protein, fiber, and
a variety of
micro-nutrients and
phytochemicals that
may protect against

disease. Isoflavones
found in soybeans
are associated with
a
decreased risk of
prostate cancer and
increased bone
mineral
density in
post-menopausal
women.

Regular consumption
of nuts has been
associated with
lower
risk for heart
disease and
mortality. This is
likely due to
their favorable
fatty acid profile,
fiber, copper,
magnesium, vitamin
E, plant sterols,
and various
phytochemicals.
Walnuts are
particularly
noteworthy because
they are rich in the
omega-3 fatty acid
alpha-linolenic
acid, which has
anti-blood-clotting
properties.

Whole-grain
consumption is
associated with a
reduced risk
for heart disease,
diabetes,
hypertension, and
stomach and
colon cancer.
Possible protective
mechanisms include
fiber,
oligosac-charides
and other
fermentable
carbo-hydrates,
trace minerals,
vitamins,
phytoestrogens, and
antioxidants.

yum. i'm gonna eat burgers tonight!

an interesting fact about Oreo cookies that they didn't
mention in that article:

My manager toured an oreo manufacturing plant.
when the oreo's come out of the machine at the end of the
line, they have NO FLAVOR. they taste just like cardboard.
they must age the oreos for a month or so and the flavor
develops.

It should be noted that the article you posted comes from a
private weight loss company. i looked around and could not
find any references to sources where they get their
information.

while much of what they have written in that article is
probably true, i know that many facts posted there are still
up for debate.

i'm just saying (if anyone cares) that before you freak out
and change your eating habits based on that aritcle, you
should realize that they obviously have an agenda.

you can still get fat off eating vegetables - you have to
maintain a proper metabolism to keep weight off.

pointed out scientific "facts", eventough like you said, the

good point.
if you eat too many calories, from any source of food
and you don't burn those calories,
they will be stored as fat.

mass does not spontaneously generate.
eat less calories than you burn and you will lose weight.

yeh,
but for example, i have read recently(of course i can't
remember my source of info...)that the whole osteoperosis
thing from drinking soda is not for certain. i read that it
could possibly be a myth. the fact stated was that people
who are drinking more soda are subsequently drinking less
milk. they therefore get less calcium hence weaker bones
yadda yadda.

damn, i wish i could remember my source though. it was some
doctor,, i swear ;)

I don't want to debate the article as I didn't read all
parts "carefully"... It just seemed right to me (what I
read), and it didn't seem like a thing to twist the truth
about...
And the things they mention - you can't possibly say they're
good for you.
