Anyone for a cheeseburger, a beer and a smoke?

[Drew]

Eating right and working out is AWESOME, but it is equally important to have a few instances every once in a while where you let yourself splurge. If I didn't, I would go crazy.

Naw... I generally prefer to eat wrong and not work out all the time

I look at it this way: life is too short to eat bland food (and don't fool yourself - healthy food is bland!) and to spend time either in some room sweating with machinery or running down the sidewalk.

I drink. I smoke. I eat fatty foods, including a good amount of meat and processed carbs (rice, pasta), especially with various sauces. And I adore anything fried

I'm fortunate enough to be "healthy as a bull" (as my wife says in Russian.. doesn't quite sound right in translation!) and not significantly overweight (athletic build, 176cm/5'9", 82k/180lbs). In short, I feel fine!

So I guess what I don't understand is why so many people are on this health kick. For the love of god... colon flushings, wraps, random herbal supplements, 15 hours a week in the gym... it's all gone too far! So, you live to be 102 and you forget your kids names but people say you lived a long healthy life?! I'd rather kick it at 60 and say I had a hell of a lot of fun

I'm sorry Morbyd, but i have to disagree!

Working out can be fun and makes you feel fantastic, in fact much better than any drug IMO.

.... and health food is in no way bland and boring if you make it interesting.

I suppose healthy food is boring dependening on where do you live or your origins. For me it's not shocking eat fresh fruits and veggies all day cos I've been eating them since I was a little girl. I guess that if I grew up eating fried chips, meat, rice in hundred sauces and all that it would be a big pain to change into healthier diet.

Not so... my parents eat lots of fruit and veggies. Mom always gave us balanced meals. Nowadays, they're also on low-fat, low-sugar diets. I don't think it depends as much on where you're from as what you like to eat.. there's always choices. I just like the tastier ones 8)

I feel fantastic after a few liters of beer. 8)

No, it's bland. Admit it. No sprig of parsely is gonna do it. If it's not fried or doesn't have some salt along with the spices or some cheese or something, it's bland. Rabbit food.

I imagined you being taller for some reason

Not knocking you, btw, I'm 173cms

Ya... I wish I had a couple more centimeters (shorty!)

Good outlook my friend - although I do manage approx 3 hrs working out per week. It helps to alleviate the guilt imposed by my filthy lifestyle

I try to walk as much as I can, which is why I like living in the city center. And there's that hip-gyrating, head-bopping shape-throwing action I try to do for 4-10 hours a weekend

I was talking about your taste education, but for what I see you are the exception that confirms the rule

Anyway that sentence that you like the tastier ones... it's totally subjective, a big dish of roasted veggies it's like god's food to me while a big portion of meat it's the less appealing thing

I actually enjoy eating healthy and going to my exercise classes. It wouldn't be natural for me to smoke or eat crap all the time. It wouldn't make me happier as I would end up over-weight, sluggish and ill. I feel energised by exercise and it gets the endorphins flowing and raises my mood. You are lucky that you can eat crap and not put on weight but I would.

My gran ate what she wanted, smoked and drank alot and had a massive heart attack and died at the age of 50. You might say she had a happy, carefree life but she left behind a husband and a son and didn't see her grand kids grow up. I don't think it was worth it.

You know I have a very split health personality.

Normally I'm a health freak working out 5 days/week, eating healthy etc..... but when I party (and when I'm wasted the day after) I go all out and totally f u ( k up my body putting every nasty imaginative thing in it and smoking 40 lucky's/night.

So for me it's actually a great motivation to party hard ... I have to, if not I wouldn't work out so hard during the week

Amen to that.

If ever there was a person that could benefit from colonic you are it!

You trying to say I've got something up my a**e?

I bet your colon's like Alladins Cave

Just 'cause I'm not a health nut or don't have.... certain procedures.. done doesn't mean there's anything wrong with me!

And I'd like to clarify another point from earlier: tasty food is not "crap"
There's no way you can call a bacon double cheeseburger "crap". It's all kinds of goodness

do you really really believe that?

 

[Morbyd]

do you really really believe that?

Well, it's certainly not kosher
but it tastes great, so it can't be bad for you, can it?

Some bodies are built to process it... some aren't. The latter need colonics. I do fine
