Why are you wanting to lose weight?

interesting post from someone who's screen name is stonerdude. LOL!!! okay so i stopped reading somewhere around my body being able to make bread (breading ground). LMAO!

seriously though i want to be healthy, fit into smaller sized clothes, look hot in a 2 piece, run a half marathon, not have my outer thighs touch the arm rests of an airplane seat, not feel the need to turn sideways going through a turnstile and the list goes on and on and on.

i try not to eat fast food, frozen food obviously i don't mean chicken or turkey i just took out of the freezer, my brown rice comes in a package so i guess i do eat packaged food and yes i eat canned food - i am not going to spend 24 hours soaking beans when i can buy them in a can, rinse them and put them in whatever i'm cooking.

so there you have it. stonerdude

for the hell of it i reviewed your diary - ummm.... 12 oz of sky vodka every single day. what benefit does that have for your body?????

yes i am being very *****y - found out my dog has a tumor so i am *****y!

It seems that the vast majority of people are here just to lose weight. Hence the overwhelming attitude of calories in vrs

calories out. I have read a lot of diaries and i see a lot of canned, packaged, boxed, and frozen food. Not to mention fast food

which is nutritionally dead. The S. A. D. (Standard American Diet) produces around 150lbs of sugar and 150lbs of sodium

and that is not even the worst of it. This diet also produces a omega 6 to omega 3 unbalance near 40 to 1 It should be 5 to 1

This makes your body a breading ground for autoimmune and inflammatory diseases as well as cancer and cardiovascular

disease. It is also loaded with trans fat, preservatives, additives (chemicals) and food dyes. And WT& is the deal with soda?

So why are you here? To fit in clothes, look hot, or be healthy?

Just an FYI, frozen vegetables and fruit are frozen at the peak of ripeness. There is nothing wrong with frozen fruit and vegetables.

The AMA is recommending no more than two drinks per day for men for optimum health. 1.5 oz of vodka is one drink, so according to your food log, you're consuming 4 times the recommended amount. Don't be so judgmental of other people's choices and worry about your own.

First I am not being judgmental at all, just stating factual data! As far as the AMA? They endorse the use of drugs which are toxic to humans. Why would anyone in their right mind care what they say?

Yes, most people want to lose weight to look more attractive. The benifit of ending up healthier is an after though for most people. I am no saint either. I know my reasons are more heavily weighed by vanity than any other reason and I do not see that as a bad thing. If vanity gets people to a healthy weight, so be it.

But I do agree that there is far too much fast food and processed/prepackaged food in peoples diaries to be considered healthy. It is quite sad. I can only hope that when people see that they are not getting the results they are wanting that they do the research that will get them back on track.
