Do you agree with the statement "you are what you eat"?

[lightbulb27]

So if you drink coffee... does that make you... in effect... a roasted nut?

If not... then what are you right now? A bannana?

I guess I'm a "nut"

Appears I'm some kind of fruit

I'm a fattened cow

I'm something else

[PBandJ_Nerd]

Unsure. But what you eat could also be eating you.

[lightbulb27]

seriously?
like this?

Life is a genetic lottery. Your DNA code is your ticket and determines your loadout and is the primary catalyst for and driver of your trajectory in life. External things play only a very small role. If you have good genetics, you can eat poorly and abuse your body and still have physical attractiveness and bodily integrity and functionality. Poor genetics and you may still be able to flourish with a very strict and precise regimen, but it will be daunting and require the highest level of commitment and discipline.

For winners in the genetic lottery, life is all about maximizing happiness and pleasure.

For losers in the genetic lottery, life is all about minimizing and mitigating misery and suffering.

My weight is about 270 my weight used to be 335& I am trying to get it lower most of the time I try to eat in a day starting in the morning two slices of toast with jelly & 1/2 a cup of milk I have problems with flem & for dinner, I have 4 ozs of shredded lettuce & dressing one slice of white bread with peanut butter, for a snack have a bowl of a low-calorie frozen yogurt, some times I like to have bananas or a certain kind of apple

Have you checked your thyroid? Weight gain is 90% genetic and 10%diet.

[lightbulb27]

you know your body, but that's a lot of carbs in my view. I found as I got up into 50's... I cut back to 2 meals a day and limit carbs. much better. good job losing weight, you can do it!

[Dennisjf12]

@fantasticass I used to have a thyroid problem, but I have taken medication to keep it in check, but I am still very heavy, some families that is the way they are. you must look at the whole family. but yes look at the children in the family if they are overweight & there are no health problems, their diet must change before it is too late

[Dennisjf12]

one you have put the weight on, & the older you are it is the harder it is to take off as I am 69

[fantasticass]

Yes, I understand the older you get it's very difficult to loose weight. Congratulations on your weight loss... I would be starving if I ate your diet. Maybe some exercise can help you. Good luck 🤞

[rosemilk]

yes, you eat junk, then you are junk. at least that's how i feel lol

[lightbulb27]

Maybe thats why so many seem ‘fruit loops’!

[rosemilk]

haha

[NamerOfStars]

Not sure of the details (since eating so-called "healthy" food tends to make you feel like crap), but I'm cheap, fast, and easy.

But less of a nut than a fruit, and less of a fruit than a vegetable, so... uh-oh. Better take up cannibalism.

[FriendlyCanadianGuy]

The proteins/amino acids/vitamins you consume metabolize and build the cells which compose you. A body builder eats lots of steak for the protein within it. The proteins from the steak are used to build those muscles. So ya, you are what you eat.

[lightbulb27]

damn it... that makes me a pasta noodle...

[Paris13]

With Having Great Results on Blood Work Always and Keeping at a Good Weight and Being on The Same Food Plan (Some Cheating Sometimes!) I would Need to Agree With That. xxoo

[Sonorous]

Yes & no. Ofc not in a literal sense. But I do believe ofc that what we eat matters. Especially if our body is able to properly absorb it and extract some sort of benefit from it. Skip to 13:22 for a good example of one way this wouldn't apply as accurately.

[BoopBoopBeep]

I guess all my bullies in 6th grade were right...

ba-DUM-dum CHING!

[matchrestore]

Considering I just ate a late breakfast, I guess I'm toast

[Somegirl124]

Yes I do. Generally if you eat healthily your skin hair and teeth will look healthier. I wouldn’t be surprised if eating unhealthily could change the shape of your teeth or face or nails.

[7Phoenix7]

Yeah, because a healthy person will be eating healthy foods. And those who are taking in large quantities of fatty foods are overweight.

[wiltingrosepetal]

Isn't the phrase meant to mean that what you put in your body becomes you? It's not very literal

[YesterdaysChild]

So that is why some people's breath smells like crap.

[DryGermanGuy]

Very true, I feel like a tunafish sometimes.

[TheSpaceGnome]

Its actually the other way around, what you eat becomes you.

When you eat food it gets converted into various parts of your body.

[Anonymous]

Yes, definitely. When I eat healthy foods, my body feels better.

[FunkyMonkee]

Last night, I was 3 hamburgers!
Tonight I'm gonna be a pot of Ramen noodles.

[Unit1]

That is taken too literally but I get what you mean.

For me it's a yes.

[Apple1996]

I'm a apple 🍎

[Anonymous]

No. Because there's a lot of a**holes in the world. And I hope there aren't this many people out there eating a**holes.😆

[DJB72]

I seem to be mostly sherry trifle tonight

[RebelinSteel]

I hope not, that last hitchhiker was an ugly fucker, good curry though.

[lightbulb27]
