We'll have discussion about diet, exercise, etc. here. We can even share recipes and all you want.

Yay! Happy to support this thread.

Is it general health including all conditions or health related to diet and excercise alone?

Anything health

We'll discuss evolution too sometimes LOL

Is anyone willing to share health issues?

I have several and some are well...interesting and as a result I've always been interested in medical conditions. I am fascinated by how people adjust to living with them and such things.

So is anyone willing to share?

YouTube Scott Herman. That guy is awesome and knows exactly what he's talking about. Just follow what he says religiously, it works.

Interesting. Thanks Alexz.

Like what?

I am obese and I haven't developed any disease related to that YET, that's why I'm attempting to change that before I get something.

I'm from an Asian family, and their views on food aren't always what I'd expect. My mom once bought a pan of brownies from the local store and thought it was proper breakfast food because it had flour.

But most of the time, we eat fine - every night, we have rice, a vegetable (bok choy, bamboo shoots, broccoli, green beans, other veggies that Asian people eat), sometimes a meat/fish (we never eat beef, but we eat a LOT of pork. And some chicken and fish)

It's too bad that I can't control my diet since I have to eat a planned dinner,breakfast, and school lunch.

I lost 38 pounds in the last 6 months and I still have fast food and soda regularly just in small portions.

I've been vegan for four years.

According to Scott Pilgrim, I'm "better than normal people" and capable of telekinesis and the ability to read minds.



Sorry I watched this just 2 days ago

balancing the all the food is what I need

I have the same problem. I can't control my diet because I don't have my own money.

wow, congratulations

I have a genetic disease called Von Willebrand's disease. It basically means that my blood doesn't clot the way it should. When I get a cut I generally have to go to the hospital and have coagulants injected. Obviously being a girl it has caused problems and the couple of times I have had to have surgery it has been pretty scary. When I got my tonsils out the surgeon didn't freaking check my chart, didn't quaterise the wound and I woke up with blood running into my stomach and lungs, good times.

On top of that, thanks to swine flu, I've developed sever lung problems. Like asthma put worse. Basically on a bad day my lungs feel like they are made of sandpaper. The drugs I have been put on are horrible. Steroids every day for a start.

It's amazing how much stronger things like this can make you. I'll be damned if anything will stop me fulfilling my life goals. So many people have it so much worse.

thank you lol

I completely understand your situation. I've been planning to go vegan but seeing/smelling delicious foods on our table just make it even harder for me to regulate my diet.

That's fantastic. It takes a lot of willpower

I'm not allowed to weigh myself.

I really want to see that movie!


My first boyfriend was raised vegan. He was a nightmare to provide food for when he was at my house

I don't have the willpower for that. I simply couldn't give up my milky coffee.

OMFG I LOVE U ROMAN!... Scott Pilgrim pretty much defined the end of summer for me.. i watched it three times :heart:

You're not obese.

-

For me this works really well:

-20-30 minutes of treadmill 4 times a week, and 10 minutes of crunches + light weights after.
-Brown rice/pasta, whole wheat bread.
-No soda. No juice unless I squeeze it myself. Store-bought juice is worse than Coke.
-No sweets except dark chocolate.
-I try to avoid dairy products.
-I love eating out so I try to be careful with what I order.
-I eat and snack all day, but I'm careful what I eat, and this prevents binge eating. Smaller portions.

Simple, commonsense, sensible. No fad diets. Lifestyle diets.

Edit: oh, and Sunday cheat day.
