Eating habits - Page 4

I thought of this thread today when I went to Pagliacci (pizza place) for dinner. I (6'0 - 175) ordered 2 pieces - one with sun dried tomato, peppers, garlic and red onion, one with Canadian bacon and some vegetables. The dude next to me (5'10 - 200 with a gut and bad posture) ordered three pieces, all very greasy (but good, in a disgusting way) double pepperoni. We both ordered Cokes to go with, from what I could tell.

The cumulative difference in ordering habits over time probably makes up almost entirely for the difference in our weight. There's no reason that guy needed an extra piece or to order 3 of the greasiest, fattiest, unhealthiest kind of pizza. (Dude, if you happen to read this, no offense, I have no idea who you are and am just using it as an example.)

Then again, I basically ate circus animal cookies for breakfast, so who am I to talk?

I`m skinny (by American standards, about 5`9 and roughly 140lbs) but I eat about 4 slices of the greasiest pizza when I go out to eat pizza. My wife is small and skinny too, and she eats the same.

I think the difference is that fat people will eat 3 or more slices, then eat a burger a couple hours later for the next meal. My wife and I, would still feel stuffed from the pizza and decide to eat something light.

I don`t eat huge portions. There`s an old saying in Japan that translates to
something like, "Eat up to 80% of your stomach."
...

Totally agree on portions. Eat to be not hungry; do not eat to be full.

For me, eating like clockwork is impossible. I skip a meal occasionally, and fast
for 90 minutes before exercise.

just stear clear from sugar. sugar is addicting and very harmful, especially to your immune system. it also makes you fat as shit. if you can work towards eliminating it accept for very special occasions it will improve your life tremendously.

white flour and the likes almost as bad for you.


if you can afford it, eat organic.

don't worry too much about fat. if you can, get organic olive and canola oil in your kitchen. expeller pressed is best. some organic mayo. organic butter. don't go overboard with portions but don't be skimpy either. fats derived from flax and hemp are amazing for your health excess calories from carbs tend to make you gain weight much more than intake of healthy fats. the unhealthy fats are trans fat from hydrogenated oils. low quality corn, soybean and canola oils are also shitty for you. eat every 2-3 hours and your metabolism will be supercharged. be sure to include protein and fats at every meal becuase these will keep you satiated.
