I have been chronically underweight my entire adult life. Basically, I can eat whatever I want and as much as I want without gaining weight. I have a very fast metabolism. I really don't pay much attention to my sugar intake but it definitely is not extreme. Either way, it wouldn't really matter. I'm down with cookies, cakes, and fried foods, but even then, I don't really eat to excess.

yes I dont understand the over eating.
Wouldnt you feel full after eating so much and then stop?

I dont like how people force you to eat more when you are full. You can only fit so much food in at once.

Ideally should be eating 3 full meals a day but I dont know how peoples eating habits are now as it seems people skip breakfast, lunch or some just snack throughout the day. Or they go without food for the day and then eat it all at night. That cant be healthy.

Nuts come in a natural package but some work involved. Maybe were available in Eden and started rock...rock....nut which morphed to rock...paper..scissor

For me, getting diagnosed with prostate cancer was a big wake up call. I followed the diet regimen of “Chris Beat Cancer” and am still trying to follow it most of the time since it reduces inflammation. Basically, lots of fresh vegetables and fruit, whole grains like rice, quinoa, lentils (instead of breads), very little meat and dairy, and avoiding processed foods. Good carbs (as opposed to no carbs) and Whole Foods. And good fats like olive oil instead of hydrogenated oils.

It is great that you are addressing your diagnoses head on. Keep up the good work.
