On a 1-10 scale (5 = average, 10 = highest), how much of a "health nut" are you?

[Prof_Don]

I consider myself a solid 7.5.

I'm not heavy into the organic craze (imo it's overblown), & I don't take any supplements besides a multivitamin & the occasional protein bar/shake.

I do tend to watch my sugar intake. I at least try the sugarfree version of anything (they usually taste good to me), I don't have a strong sweet tooth (fruit usually does the trick for me), & I dilute almost any drink I have @ home besides milk. In fact, because of my habits, people asked me if I was a diabetic; I said no, I'm trying NOT to be a diabetic lol. :)

I do some exercising. Primarily deep stretching (good way to relax @ the end of the work day), basketball & sometimes some calisthenics. I'm really not a gym rat; if I joined a gym I would join mainly for access to a pool since it's desert climate where I live atm.

Since there is no health section on this site (yet), I figured "style" would be the best place to post this.

Your turn. :)

I consider myself a health nut. So yeah, a 10. I am all about everything organic and paleo this and ayurveda that. Acupuncture, energy healing, meditation, functional fitness, bodybuilding, massage, foam rollers, yoga, tai chi, bison, grass fed and pastured omega 3 everything. With a side of hemp protein, acai berries, and maca powder. Cook my egg whites in coconut oil and eat a lot of kale. Yeah. I might be a 12. lol

But the thing is, I'm not anal. Like if a friend cooks me something or wants to go out to eat somewhere, I don't ask questions or make substitutions. I still enjoy me a corn dog with fake nacho cheese and a lemonade. But with Splenda...although it would be better if it was stevia :P

I say yes...you are a "12". :)

after doing some research into food industries, gmo's, pesticides, and the extinction of rare seeds(did you know there's purple carrots?!) and because of the raising food prices I started growing my own food(I'm lucky to be able to use my parents backyard, when I move out I will join a community farm) I only eat fresh, organic, raw food. Some may think its extreme, but its how humans ate before industry took over. I even feed my dog raw meat. As for exercise, I work around my house a lot and in the garden, I run a lot, surf, bike, skate, and stretch. So I would be a 10 but I do drink and smoke weed regularly.

I eat raw meat.

Maybe around a 7 or 8. I have a huge appetite. I will always try to steer clear of fast foods and don't care for sweets. I really like hearty foods. Meat, potatos and pasta. I don't think that I watch what I eat as much as I just don't eat foods that I consider unhealthy. I love bacon though, and get weird cravings for it sometimes.

5. I run at least 3 miles a day in track practice, 4 in the off season, hit a weight room 3x a week. But I don't give a damn about what I eat. If it isn't moving, I'm going to eat it.

So I'm not really a health nut, just a guy who's in shape.

8.5 born raised organic, I'm living as a vegetarian, in a health-nut household

[ihatework]

about a one or less, I do almost nothing that is healthy.

[Tofraz]

I don't care what I eat, whatever I feel like. so I don't know.

1/10 for not caring what I eat.

4/5.
