My sis is vegetarian no dairy no wheat—always tired. Scoffs a heap of eggs—body crying out for protein, for red meat! How people fool themselves!
My former business partner was younger and fitter than me, never smoked, abstemious with alcohol and he died Nov 2007 and I am still here enjoying myself and just ensuring I eat something nourishing and a bit balanced and leave it at that. Drink a bit too.
I've never actually been on a díet'. Don't believe in them. I prefer to eat as balanced a range of foods as poss.. within reason. I like/need protein and carbs, limit animal fats and try to eat greens. I eat almost NO fruit.
