I needed to browse TL to find out Pepsi was bad and veggies were good. did your documentary explain that people were having skittles instead of fruit because skittles were cheaper? unless you can solve that issue for them, I dont think fat people need your precious insight. my 2 cents I'm not sure what this guy was looking for when he entered a thread on healthy living... Great write-up! I think the more realistic advice is available to people about how to eat healthy and exercise, the better. | ||

The number of sodas drank per day is shrinking. Pepsi and Coke scramble to save their businesses. Just something that you could add if you wanted to beef up your post. | ||

If you do push-ups daily for one year, you can radically change your posture. Set a goal of 40(!). The number one obstacle for you to reach 40 is the mental barrier that its hard, the second one is technique. Try it, do as many as you can but maintain the mental image of doing 40. Within two to three weeks you are doing 40 push-ups. I suggest doing it in the morning before you hit the shower. If you feel that you want to extend it and train more, do squats. Extend further with running for cardio. The e-sports community is always sitting down in front of the computer. A good posture will protect your back, neck and shoulders. | ||

Great suggestion, I try to do pushups everyday myself. Here's a helpful article on pushups: http://www.active.com/fitness/Articles/3_Ways_Push-Ups_Can_Help_You.htm | ||

I reserve judgement. Then again, despite eating primarily prepared/"fast" food, step 1 & step 3 are already done. Just not the way you think - most beverages are no-calorie/no sugar except for the one or two that are fruit/vegetable (and organic, but not because of organic but because of flavor). ... of course, not smoking probably would be a great improvement over anything I can do with my diet. This is a very worrisome mind set. There is absolutely no way you can be saying that because you are not getting hypertension or heart attacks right at this second that a fast food diet is good...can there? SuperSize Me can't have footnotes because it's a movie. Footnotes are a Chicago and MLA style literary addition, nothing to do with movies. But it does have sources. It cites every one of them, interviews a lot of experts, and also you can find all the sources on the internet. Moreover, unless you eat ALL THREE MEALS, EVERY DAY, ALL SUPERSIZED, then you cannot compare yourself to Morgan Spurlock. He did that on purpose to show the effects to him after a hyperbolized version of your diet. Your health decline will be more gradual. So, your criticism is completely invalid. But even if you aren't feeling the movie, just look at the logic you use: you aren't having hypertension now, so it's okay to keep eating a horrible diet. That's idiotic. The effects of horrible diet are not felt before a certain age for many people because genetics plays a heavy role. Some people would beef up a like pure fat incontrol in a few weeks on a mostly McD's diet. Some (such as yourself, it sounds like) will experience the effects of high fat, cholesterol, sugar, and carcinogens later on in their life (such as this Baskin Robin's founder who ate ice cream as a tester every day for many years and then died of an early and fatal heart attack before his time). Just because you're not dying now doesn't mean you won't be later due to your diet. Smoking, something you brought up yourself so you should really know better, is a great example. You can smoke a pack a day for a while, and you won't get fatal stage 3 cancer in a month. But it will come. But bar the very odd an confused poster who I just replied to, great post Tang. Always a pleasure. 4 stars! | ||

From my experience, so long as you're eating sufficiently little, you're going to stay [somewhat] lean no matter what garbage is coming in. Yes it's a sad world where it's far cheaper to buy your calories from a snickers bar than from the fruits of nature. At the end of the day though, it's your life. You can't buy your health back when you're old with the money you saved now. Only thing I can fault the OP on is giving fruit juices a blanket bad rep. Freshly squeezed (and even pasturised non-reconstituted) juices are much closer to say, an ORANGE than they are to Coca-Cola (which makes me cringe when I think about how many litres of this filth I've consumed in the past. Ignorance is bliss, eh?). | ||

Admittedly I do drink a glass of orange juice everyday but it's my only cheat drink. | ||

I hate to think where you get the rest of your carbohydrates from XD What I'm saying is there is a world of difference between eating an orange and drinking a glass of orange juice. The bulk of the nutritional value comes from the fibre of the fruit, the juice is largely just sugar. Sure it's probably better for you than drinking a coke, but you shouldn't aim to drink as much juice as possible to get your daily carbohydrates. You can sustain higher energy levels by eating relatively small/frequent meals with slow digesting carbohydrates (things like real fruits/vegetables, whole grains/rice). | ||

Perhaps we're not thinking of the same juice? Reconstituted juices are nothing like the original fruit. I stay only slightly less far away from these as I do from Coca-Cola. The juice I drink and am talking about is solely whole oranges. I don't aim to drink as much as possible, just early in the day and until I'm satisfied. If that means 2L then so be it. I don't count calories, I stop when I'm satisfied and eat more when my body craves it. It's almost too easy XD | ||

It's almost too easy XD I see what you're saying, and you're definitely right juice made from solely whole oranges. When I was writing the OP, I took some of the basic/general guidelines for improving health from the Weight of the Nation documentaries. Limiting all sugary beverages to 0-2 a day seemed an easily applicable first step, even if the recommendation is primarily directed at those who are obese/overweight. No one's going to die or become obese by drinking three glasses of juice a day, but for general purposes you should aim for less than three. | ||
