[quote="nebrets"]I am so-so. I have to work to get in my fruits and vegetables, and while I get at least one veggie a day and one to two fruits, I am still below what I should have. But I also do not eat a lot of fatty, or salty, or fried food. I exercise for an hour and a half 3-4 times a week.[/quote]

I do eat rather healthily. Lots of meat and vegetables. For example, today's diet/exercise regimen looked like this:
Breakfast: 4 strips of bacon, 2 eggs. I forgot to boil the water for tea and didn't have time when I realised my mistake.
Workout: 2 hours of hiking and trail running with a bit of swimming mixed in. The water was both frigid and tasty, being immediately adjacent to a rather large mountain spring. There was an enormous hill at the end.
Also I did 3 sets of 6 pull-ups before supper to get the blood flowing. I didn't want to do too much because I have plans for tomorrow which require my muscles to be performing at least somewhat well.
Supper: 2 and a half pounds of grass fed blade roast with half a cup of sweet potatoes on the side. I forgot to pick up broccoli so I unfortunately didn't get any of that today.
So yes, I am a bit of a health nut. Unfortunately I've been gaining a bit of weight recently due to increased fruit consumption so I was forced to eat fewer of them.

I do my best to avoid GMO/biotech related foods and foods laden with toxins. I keep it as natural and organic as best as possible. The same applies to water filtration, and I am also careful with that. I have been eating and drinking that way for years and it's great.

It's best to workout in the morning as you burn more fat and to be honest, sit ups won't work the core completely. You need high intensity explosive training geared towards the sport you want to train for, lifting for two to three hours is far too long, try to cut down the time you rest in the intervals and focus on intensity.
Also you aren't going to get built on that diet, try chicken breasts, try fish, rice, peas as these foods don't have a high amount of fat in them and they have a high source of protein.

Ross training sells a few good books on how to condition your body for a sport, P90X is also a good program if you are looking to get into shape.

If you are looking for a program that trains body building, they have some great workout routines.

Strange. So was I. I'd drink the bottle, and have to be restricted to a hard floor area until I threw it up.
You'd think that be a cue to STOP GIVING AN INFANT something.
But no, no- I was put on medication to suppress my immune system. O_o

I am wondering whether you could eat more so long as you totally avoided carbohydrates, ( sugar/sucrose *and* the lethal fructose, as well as all the starchy carbohydrates like cereals and potato ), so that you still got enough of the essential saturated and polyunsaturated fats and proteins, ( a deficiency in all of which is unfortunately a slow-burn insidious thing which builds up over years such that for a long time you aren't aware of the lack ... ), because there are a lot of people, ( especially those with northern/cold climate ancestry ) for whom carbohydrates are really difficult for their body to handle, and which are always turned into fat, especially in the presence of/in combination with gluten ( in wheat, rye etc ), and to some extent dairy, because of the chemicals in these two food opioid plant storage proteins which trigger the body to "store" as much and as fast as possible.

That's extremely interesting- I'd love to read the source.
Carbs do tend to be immediately put on me. And I do so love potatoes.

I encourage everyone to give veganism a try,for SO many reasons!

I don't eat very healthfully. I overeat often and have an eating problem that has features of bulimia (no dx). I just should avoid buying candy or chips or cookies in large quantities or I'll eat them all in one go, but sometimes I binge on bread, fruit, etc., too. I eat brown rice everyday along with a bit of meat or veggie meat substitute and some vegetables. I do think I eat enough fruit generally speaking.

I'm just a very picky eater, I avoid as much like oats, carbs, cereals as possible and eat a piece or two of fruit a day. If I'm hungry I'll usually go to the kitchen and cut a small ring sized piece off a bannana. Don't eat sandwiches, eat salad mainly, boiled eggs. I refuse to eat deep fried foods or stuff that just doesn't seem very natural. I'm not perfect though, I like sweet stuff but if I get a sweet teeth I mainly run to a bag of trail mix which isn't the best thing to do since it has lots of preservatives and you can go through a big easily and its like..at least 15 servings. Ouch.
My biggest vices probably are asian stuff, like sushi (lots of starch in that rice) and most asian stuff. Its all so good. Oh well. Just drink water too. I'm fine with meats but I rarely eat them much outside of boiled eggs since we don't have a wholes food. I'm just..really impartial to meat, yeah I'll eat and a good rare steak is nice but whatever. I absolutely love spinach, always have. Creamed spinach is an evil vice I rarely partake in..but its good
Don't really care if my eating habits aren't perfect. I don't want to juice up and have tons of muscles and , hate the body building scene.

I am always trying to eat healthy and I like to think of it as eating a balanced meal. So at lunch I will try to include a vegetable and a fruit, but may just eat fruit and not a vegetable and the same goes for dinner. So I eat balanced meals and think of it as I need a protein, some starch, a vegetable, a fruit and always something sweet such as a few pieces of chocolate or a few cookies. I drink water or sugar free tea and sometimes coffee with one creamer. I rarely eat fried foods, but do not rule them out and eat them every once in awhile and one of my favorite fried foods is vegetable tempura or authentic fish and chips in London

I'm German-northern English with apparently celtic roots somewhere.
The low-carb and cold climate/northern connection is because people with that ancestry have far fewer ( I think it's five times fewer ) genes for amylase production than people with a more southern/warm-hot climate background, and amylase is essential for proper carbohydrate digestion specifically starch and other complex carbohydrate breakdown. Amylase is not just present in the saliva but also secreted into the stomach to finish off carbo breakdown. Its lack or deficiency has a dramatic impact on how well the body handles all carbs and also on the type of bacteria which flourish in our guts, which also massively affects our health.

I was going to make a joke about making a workout video sponsored by Krispy Kreme, but I feel hung over from all the doughnut eating. None survived. Now I have a hangover. It didn't even wait until the next day...My alcohol hangovers aren't this bad.
Now I remember why I've stayed away from those things for so long.

I've been shifting my eating habits since December toward what Ouinon is doing and it's seems to be working for me. I had not heard low carb specifically related to a northern genetic heritage, but I'm basically German-Irish.
As for food symptoms I feel a helluva lot better just avoiding starch. Also cut down on bread. I was at a Lent fish dinner where there was potato with a fish sandwich and my stomach felt horrible and bloated afterward. I've basically quit potatoes.
If have Asian food I will allow a modest amount of white rice and try not to have things like General Tso or Orange Chicken that is really fried with breading. Best thing I think is the Mongolian BBQ.
I do like my regular eggs with what I consider
Good Carbs
like peppers, onions, and tomato. Also throw in some mushrooms.
I like the same Good Carb veggies in salad with my favorite Bleu Cheese Dressing.
I still have burgers but half the time toss the bun. No french fries though.
I'm doing a modest exercise routine. Some curls with barbells and resistance band exercises. Recently doing stepping for cardio.
