Well done Boz! You're an inspiration to us all. I'm gonna get back on track.

Worried the affect of hipsters jumping on these trends. but I am a tad of a "gatekeeper"mugwart - I don't care if it's trendy or if hipsters do it. If it's good for you who cares.M01XXX

Can't eat anything anymore...
- just cut out meat and dairy, go from theremugwart
- or just buy nitrate-free meat - plenty about, in fact most of it if you don't buy crap.detritus
- https://www.good.is/…set
- I love the taste of meat but let's not kid ourselves that it's healthy. Maybe if you kill a wild Elk in the mountains once a week, other than that, lets be realset
- no, set - nitrate free meats do actually exist (eg. all traditional cured meats that use salt, or just fresh meat) and all meat can be part of a balanced diet.detritus
- ^ or just cut it out. lets face it "real" meat is almost impossible to get and if so fucking expensive.mugwart
- paging sureshotsarahfailin
- No, and no. I mean, yes - it's not cheap, but nor should it be. I'm happy simply cutting back, thanks.detritus
- It's part of who he is so he'll defend it until the end, lol.set
- Sorry, I can't help myself, it's your petty defensiveness like eating meat is WHO YOU ARE that triggers meset
- It's amusing how you polarise things so absolutely.detritus
- ^ sign of the times!mugwart
- You defend its like its your identity. Its cute i guess.set
- This phone has no commasset
- I think you're reading too much of your struggles to come up with your own identity in my responses here.detritus
- I seeset
- It can be argued that mankind and meat eating go hand in hand and that it is entirely natural to eat meat as a normal part of diet.monospaced
- Oh it is, but torturing them and pumping them full of antibiotics and hormones and GM grains and then consuming them isn't..set
- i dont know what to eat anymore after watching this video. so depressingBennn
- Just don't eat processed meats. Get your meat fresh from the butcher, avoid sausages or any kind meat that was pureed and pressed into a shape.sarahfailin
- ^ doesnt help that much. Cant trust any meat these daysmugwart
- I'm not sure you trust much of anything, mugwart ;)
Personally I'd be wary of hexane in my soy, boyee! xdetritus - lol at that childish defensiveness. It's like you're offended because eating meat is who you are and someone is attacking you for discussing health. Hilariousset
- You really are a limply-obsessive prick - what's this got to do with you, anyway? Why not jump on Mugwart's 'defensiveness'?detritus
- Did you wholly forget my posts a few weeks/months back about my decreasing meat consumption, or does that simply not fit your narrative here?detritus
- Honestly, you are such a pointlessly competive, needlessly contrarian prick with a blinkered, self-concerned and self-important perspective.detritus
- AND you're on holiday, aren't you? have you really not got anything better to do with yourself? Sad, cretinous twat.detritus
- Go eat another McDonalds, hypocrite.detritus
- What's doubly-amusing for me here is that I'm actually staying late to help do some graphic work for a good friend's vegan food pop-up thing.detritus
- Hahahaha fuck me, hit a nerve did I. Someone needs to do some meditation.set
- I'm back in England now but thanks for being so aware of my doings, it really is very much appreciated.set
- Love youset
- And mugwart speaks from his passion for the greater good, not defensiveness. You speak from your petty feeling that your idea about yourself is being attacked.set
- But I don't for a second expect your ego to allow you to admit to that so instead I bid thee a fine dayset
- Just got home and on the walk back realised - I haven't eaten meat in three days. I must be immensely internally- conflicted, by your assumptiondetritus
- Eggs, Cheese and Milk, sure.
No Meat though.
I feel uncomfortable realising I've breached my own defensiveness...detritus

IF fasting has been working well.. lost 10kg in the last month.. once you get used to it, you don't even notice. I eat between 1pm and 5pm and the rest is fast.
I eat normally, perhaps a little less than usual, but even then most days it gets to 1pm and I'm not even hungry, I eat just to keep the routine.

- you can find me on nike at my email, but I'll fire up Strava today too.notype
- capn_ron2
notype,
We could start a qbn-runs club if we want it to be running, or just jump on the cycles club to keep track. Motivation is absolutely needed.qbn cycling club -

I used to snack on sugary based foods during the day. A biscuit for example. But Energy levels tended to spike and hunger feelings amplified.
Recently been trying to cut out all processed sugars from my diet. Sweet food items are only fruits or dried fruits.
Instead I've been eating lard - using it as filling for omelettes, adding it to cooked lentils/rice etc.
Also switched to water biscuits or oat thins sandwiched with lard for work day snack. Result, even energy levels throughout the day, no hungry feelings.
My grandmother's neighbour lived to be 97 and was in perfect health, used to eat a lard sandwiches everyday. I used to think lard was gross... maybe it's Portuguese lard, which has a slight BBQ smokey flavour, getting quite addicted to it. Everything tastes better with a good chunk of lard in it.
- *Changes username to lardsalad ;)microkorg
- Enjoy it whilst you can - decent lard's hard to come by back in Blighty. I really miss manteca colora - it's one of the few things I still bring back from Spaindetritus
- something with how the word sounds -- "lard" -- which throws me offdrgs
- I threw up a little when I read "lard sandwich".section_014
- When I was a kid I found the idea absolutely disgusting - esp. watching old Spanish men in bars wolf that shit down.
As an adult? nomnom nose2tail4evadetritus - It's quite seasoned in Iberia - not just plain rendered fat. Think of it like 'essence of the most delicious thing ever cooked'.detritus
- Lardo!
https://www.foodscov…ok_not_ok - groog. i had some seasoned lard in köln once, utterly vile.hans_glib
- manteca colora? bleargh, like a pure fat version of sobresadahans_glib
- Yep, deeelish! My folks are in Mallorca now - I've asked them to bring back some sobrasada for me to collect from their place in a month or so. Can't wait.detritus
- Mind you - I had some Polish lard a couple of years back and it made me feel sick as a dog all evening. Not so deeelish.detritus
- Beef drippings and lard, chicken fat too. Best fats/oils for you. For 1000's of year humans have got fat in their diet from animals and fish.shapesalad
- Then it was olive oil, good fresh, not so good heated up. Only in modern times are we having crap like margarine and veg oil. No thanks to that.shapesalad
- I've started using rapeseed oil for high temp cooking this year. Watched a 'how it's made' on Canola Oil last night and... yeah. Really not sure about that shitdetritus
- Lard best for high temp, really high smoke point.shapesalad

- there is a difference between calling someone fat and pulling a joke about it.sted
- anyhow nothing changed in 30+k years:
http://m.cdn.blog.hu…sted - I don't get it. Firstly you want to be fit and healthy. Secondly men/women want to attract a mate. So with that in mind you try to keep a healthy weight.shapesalad
- If you get medically/scientific... speaking overweight for a homo sapien, then there must be either a biological reason or a mental heath issue.shapesalad
- I think we can all be reasonable and accept those as valid reasons. But I don't think it's healthy to for overweight people to try to normalise it.shapesalad
- We can be kinder, less bullying towards them, as in some cases that is fuelling the over eating. And we can hope they find a route out of it.shapesalad
- I get annoyed that airlines don’t allow 2 seaters for someone who can’t comfortably fit into one on long flights.notype
- Airlines should be pay per poundimbecile
- feel bad feeling this way but i do think it's the airlines fault. while folks do have control over their health they should be more accommodating. airlines...notype
- in general fucking suck. While I'm fit I've had my own problems with airlines (namely TSA) can sympathize to some deg.notype
- I do agree with the title. Why should we care. Btw that's an awful masthead.notype
- Hey Tess, I don't think anyone's worried about YOUR health but about the image and health you're pushing on those w/minds of mush (kids). Grow up—not out, ffs.PonyBoy
- Isn't this really about feeling aesthetic disgust towards fat people and not really worrying about their health as @notype pointed out?soundofreason
- I still don't understand why people need to justify body shape with health. I'm not saying that at some point they are not related.soundofreason
- I still don't see the relationship between 6 packs abs (ex:Men's Health covers) and actual health issues.soundofreason
- As I don't see anything wrong with admitting you find fat flab disgusting. Are you REALLY worried about this person's health?
#honestquestionsoundofreason - It just seems to me that this whole "I post my workout routine in Instagram because I'm healthy" trend a moral justification for vanity.soundofreason
- Again, I'm NOT saying obese people are healthy. #get hooked on phonics
I'm asking if this is this really the issue for your "hate" towards them.soundofreason - I think it's stupid of fat people to have taken the bait into this health red herring and trying to somehow say that being obese can be healthy.soundofreason
- They should have tackled the issue head on.soundofreason
