  2. People who eat too much meat and saturated fats are unhealthy. People who sit at the OTHER extreme, while probably much better off than their counter parts, are probably not as well off as they seem. People who eat much less of the "bad" stuff while maintaining a balanced life are, no doubt, in the best position :)

  3. That's it! I am pouring Olive Oil all over my steak next time I eat one. I don't even care what it taste's like. And then I am going to eat a baked potato with sour cream and butter all over it! And then eat a fatty chocolate ice cream cake for dessert! No veges, no salad!

    BEEF = MUSCLE!

  4. This reminds me of a story I once seen on TV. A waiter at a restaurant ate 12 eggs a day for breakfast. He also ate 3, yes 3! steaks during the rest of the day.

    He was 88 years old and healthy as a horse.

    Phytochemicals In Plant-based Foods Could Help Battle Obesity, Disease

    ScienceDaily (Oct. 22, 2009) — The cheeseburger and French fries might look tempting, but eating a serving of broccoli or leafy greens first could help people battle metabolic processes that lead to obesity and heart disease, a new University of Florida study shows.

    Eating more plant-based foods, which are rich in substances called phytochemicals, seems to prevent oxidative stress in the body, a process associated with obesity and the onset of disease, according to findings published online in advance of the print edition of the Journal of Human Nutrition and Dietetics.

    "We need to find a way to encourage people to pull back on fat and eat more foods rich in micronutrients and trace minerals from fruits, vegetables, whole grains and soy," said Vincent, an assistant professor in the UF Orthopaedics and Sports Medicine Institute. "Fill your plate with colorful, low-calorie, varied-texture foods derived from plants first. By slowly eating phytochemical-rich foods such as salads with olive oil or fresh-cut fruits before the actual meal, you will likely reduce the overall portion size, fat content and energy intake. In this way, you're ensuring that you get the variety of protective, disease-fighting phytochemicals you need and controlling caloric intake."

    "Diets low in plant-based foods affect health over the course of a long period of time," Vincent said.

    Vincent said. Phytochemicals include substances such as allin from garlic, lycopene from tomatoes, isoflavones from soy, beta carotene from orange squashes and anythocyanins from red wine, among others.

  10. He was 88 at the time of the story. This was a few years ago. He was moving around a restaurant at high speed in the video they had on TV.
