Look at it this way Yelta. I think I eat a 'balanced diet'. It sounds like you probably think you eat a balance diet, and yet it sounds like our eating habits are vastly different. For example I eat eggs nearly every day, but very rarely eat bread. So who's right? I can explain why I eat the way I do, can you?

BMI ..... Mines 27, apparently I'm 8 inches too short for my body weight.Originally posted by Yelta View PostThis is worth a read Obesity robs years off your life FWIW my BMI is 24, wonder if others would like to weigh in?
33 inch waist is well below obesity levels but bmi puts me right up there. [emoji12]

Nope! I don't feel the need to justify my eating habits, however, to quote a previous poster "I could, but I'd actually rather not to be honest as it could be seen as me promoting one thing over another and too easy for people to take the wrong way."Originally posted by LeroyC View PostBecause it's what Healthdirect says?
Suffice to say I'm probably about 3 times the age of the average CS member, to this point my diet and activity level seems to have served me pretty well.

Just to clarify a couple of points.
I'm not trying to promote any type of diet, nor am I insisting my concept of a balanced diet is the path of the righteous, I'm open to alternatives, just happens that to this point I've not discovered anything that I feel is superior to the five food groups,
- vegetables and legumes (beans)
- fruit
- grains and cereals
- lean meat, poultry, fish, eggs, legumes (beans) tofu, nuts, seeds
- milk, cheese yoghurt or alternatives.
Each food group has important nutrients.
The amount of each food you need will vary during your life, depending on factors such as how active you are and whether or not you are growing, pregnant, breastfeeding and more.
Having said that if anyone feels a balanced diet is a big mac washed down by a similar weight of coke three times a day, or any other alternative, more power to them.
