What's the best diet or fitness advice you've ever heard?

I heard this once at a seminar about health and nutrition from a sports performance specialist and vegan practitioner (while i was still vegan).... "IF GOD DIDN'T MAKE IT, YOU DON"T NEED IT"
For example -> if it comes in a plastic container, plastic wrapper, a paper box, etc. etc. etc..... then it is most likely extremely processed (with a few exceptions) and you ultimately don't need it. For the most parts all diets promote eating less of processed foods and eating at deficit. The hard part is actually doing it.
Or as he puts it
- Where in nature is a bread tree?
- Where in nature does Coca-Cola run like a river?
- Where in nature can man hunt gummy bears?
My weakness is soft drinks and eating to large portion sizes. But I've been getting better and all my success comes back to the original quote from above.27 -

This location you're describing sounds ideal. A bread tree would be heavenly.
Mmm... "extremely processed" bread...

I'd like to find that Coca Cola river too....as long as it's Diet Coke. Bonus points if the bread trees grow on the shores so I can have a sammich with my Coke.8 -

biblical-diet-plan,18, This is the best one I have ever been on in all my years, Since January I am down 67lbs and I love that my cloths are baggy on me, lose fitting. I chose to go back in time and figure out what they were eating I have done a lot of reserch and found this one has worked the best for my personal body. I also do 3hrs of exercising a day and 1 to 5miles of walking inside watching tv or outside in the moon light. I love the stars!21

In an attempt to avoid (completely) derailing this thread, I will contribute. The best advice I've received is, "find something that you can do for the rest of your life."

Although I would love to visit that place, I also hope the soil can create cooked food, and that trees produce chopped, diced, sauced, shredded, cured...etc foods. A lake of coconut milk would also be nice for curries.14 -

I tried the biblical diet plan, briefly. My neighbors didn't like me sacrificing sheep in the back yard and the city said the altar I built for it was against zoning codes.26 -

A Freudian slip if I ever saw one! There would definitely be zero *calorie* cake in paradise, i.e. bread tree place.3 -

Nice! Question: did the people (presumably children?) ... did they die from eating from the bread tree? Very concerning.

1. No, not children(at least not exclusively). The title premise is a multigenerational(200+ year) Mendelean(sp?) experiment involving encouraging long lived people to marry other long lived people, with the hope of identifying the cure to death.
2. Ultimately the title premise is a largely minor but foundational plot element.
3. And no, they didn't die, but the emigrated from that planet(ultimately back to earth) for other reasons.
