Food: Diets for the terminally .. busy.
Sat, 28 Jan 2006

I'm on the tubby side; I know it, but I don't really like it. Sure, not much of a problem now but someday I'm sure it will be and proving that we're not animals means thinking ahead once in awhile... damnit. Anyway, I've always preached that the best diet is one that a person can stick with fairly naturally, and than dieting alone really isn't the solution. Sure, most of us work where only unhealthy lunch options exist but the real problem is most of us plant the caboose in front of a cathrode ray tube for 2/3rds of every day. Jenny won't help, since you have to eat artificial food-like substances for the rest of your life -- that they oh so conveniantly sell, and that don't work when mixed with human food. Dr. B won't work, since they want to build a Jenny-like fake diet by re-engineering your eating habits. Sure, a few people can do that but as every study has shown.. diets do not work, especially for those of us with lactose conditions or other dietary constraints.

So whats a modern person to do?

Obviously, the answer is to eat like a normal person (for your ethnicity) should, and to get a bit of exercise now and again. Eating normal shouldn't be too too hard -- a few less chippies, and a bit more potatos. Exercise is very tough given how much we all work, and how we all commute everywhere. But it has to be done. I had a plan a year or so back and I think it started to work, but I managed to blow it.. so my immediate goal is to reinstate that plan, and stick more to it. The walking everywhere part I did quite well for a year or so, but blew it a month back.... so this time, no more exceptions!

Jeff's suburbanite plan:

Is that enough?
