The key is to balance your MEALS, not overcompensate for the past.

I say take vitamins & exercise then switch to the "hunter gatherer" diet. I did it and now im a normal weight. All grains and "monoculture" products are a tool of the devil!! Rice is evil, bread is evil, pasta is evil, pizza is evil. Its like eating snicker bars all day long. its nothing but sugar sugar sugar.
For millions of years we ate nuts, fruits and meat and root & leaf green vegetables. we were tall and healthy. then we switched to "monoculture". sitting around all day eating corn or some grass like wheat. we got shorter, our lifespan shortened, we got sicker. A comparison of an Eqyptian using "monoculture" circa 3000 BC and a Northern european who was still hunting and gathering at that time showed a great difference in health. We switched because we could store grains for famine times and population pressures meant the land could not support all those hunter gatherers, monoculture produces more food per acre. But now that we have super agriculture we can if we want to switch back to the "hunter gatherer" diet. One thing though, The "game" of the hunter period ran wild and was lean. Our meat is fat and lazy. If you switch make sure to eat the "gamier" lean cuts and lower fat meats. Also, seafood was an important food for those people, so dont skimp on seafood either.

You, go back to school right now!  



Cats are classified as obligate carnivores because their physiology
is geared toward efficient processing of meat and lacks efficient processes
for digesting plant matter. The cat cannot produce its own taurine (an
essential organic acid), and, as it is contained in flesh, the cat must eat
flesh to survive.  Similar to its teeth,
a cat's digestive tract has become specialized over time to suit meat eating,
having shortened in length only to those segments of intestine best able to
break down proteins and fats from animal flesh. This trait severely limits the cat's ability
to properly digest, metabolize, and absorb plant-derived nutrients, as well as
certain fatty acids.

Cats will occasionally nibble on grass, stick, and leaves in order to cough up a hairball or clean the MEAT of vegetarians out of their teeth.
Hippos.  Hippos are classified as herbivores and surprisingly enough are the most feared animal in Africa; killing anything that irritates them (vegetarians are usually irritable) which includes just about everything on the planet including other hippos.  Hippos have been seen "eating" other animals, not as a food source but instead because that particular hippo is sick or distressed, no doubt a victim of it's own sad herbivorous lifestyle.
You consider fish a vegetable?  Go to the grocery store right now and ask the produce manager where he keeps his fish, hint, it ain't next to the celery.  






 




 

If you want to reduce your weight and chlolesterol, cut down on processed foods, fast foods, and restaurant food, they are usually high in fats and sodium to make them taste good. This is a big reason why people gain so much weight, way too much eating out. Cook your own food it is not all that hard. I've lost 20lbs in the past 2 years, and kept it off.

Use skim milk with your cereal, and use fruit or dried fruits for sweetener(ie raisens, prunes, apricots) instead of sugar. Trader Joes has a vast selection of dried fruits are reasonable prices.

Buy the cheaper USDA "select" grade beef at the super, because they have less marbling(ie fat) intertwined in the muscle tissue, and you can cut what visible fat that is in the meat, but the drawback is that you have a narrower window to cook it just right to eat. Many times the better grade of meat enables you to "over cook" a bit and still taste good.

I still enjoy an occassional ice cream, soft drinks, pizzia, but I keep them to a minimum, like maybe once a week max. You can get recipes on the internet.

Eat plenty of fresh fruits and vegetables, in the US we are bless with year 'round fresh fruits and veggies. Drink plenty of water.

And also do a daily regimen of exercise. You will not only feel better physically but mentally. Exercise has a big bearing on your mental well-being.


Cutting out meat is not a good idea because you will become anemic because of the lack of iron. Many women are enemic because they don't eat enough meat.
