Life is short. I was getting marginal test results and carried some excess mass that the Medico would give me stink eye about, but no preaching, just shared my numbers so I could ignore or maybe take my own form of action.
A few years ago I figured out that a vintage/older/classic chassis may no longer require the alimentary supplementation of a younger and growing/developing critter, so cut back to a single daily meal. Slightly well rounded on a weekly metabolic nutrient basis (multi vitamin and ignore the five of this, six of that, daily calorie/vitamin/fruit/veggie/meat/starch food pyramid scheme). Drink plenty of fluids and eat what you like within the one meal every 24 hours. Still have a breaking of fasting and tiny “treat” or small snack each day, but there is real hunger and not just boredom and rote three meals. Eating only when truly hungry and fasting, since old folks require less sustenances. Last few annual physicals have had significant reductions of “troubling” (MD’s assessment) test results. BP is lower, cholesterols are much lower (to the point the doc stopped trying to push statin), blood sugar is way down, and just more “fit” at least on paper. I still indulge with bacon, fats, ice cream, and the other supposed “bad” food. Same old Garbage In, Garbage Out, but with less of it, the results on tests show I am super more healthful. It did result in a loss of 20 kilo of un-required mass. My meals are satiating and rich enough to please. I think it boils down to moderation as one ages. Grab that donut, eat the bacon, eggs, sausage and gravy, whatever makes your soul happy, but not at all hours of the day every darn day. Nobody performs the labors that a rural agrarian diet required anymore. We sit on our duff consuming netflix with a quart of rocky road and a package of Oreo after Zoom calls while our butts go numb. YMMV, just take the time to figure out what your specific lifestyle requires and amend your consumption and activity to satisfy the need. Eat a Twinkie if it makes you happy, just not the whole damn box in one sitting. clay I have no pronouns please do not refer to me. > On Apr 1, 2021, at 2:05 PM, Craig via Mercedes <mercedes@okiebenz.com> wrote: > > I had a recent comprehensive non-fastin blood test done recently. > Some of my results are: > > > What is youse guys experience? > > How should I modify my diet? > > Thanks, > > > Craig _______________________________________ http://www.okiebenz.com To search list archives http://www.okiebenz.com/archive/ To Unsubscribe or change delivery options go to: http://mail.okiebenz.com/mailman/listinfo/mercedes_okiebenz.com
