"Portly Angler" Weigh In?

[The Dad Fisherman]

You can't cut out everything....just eat human portions and you'll probably be fine. You need protein every day. So if she's telling you to not eat meat period you are going to have some problem because that is a big source of protein......looks like a lot of beans in your future.

Nothing wrong with Chicken or Fish I make sure i have something like this once a day.

Fatty Red Meats are definitely not the best for you but there is no reason you can't have a 95% lean burger (Normal Sized and only 1) for supper once in awhile.

The biggest problems with eating habits is we don't eat a proper sized portion of anything. We eat 1/2 lb. burgers (2 of them), a pound of pasta, a 44 oz. soda. Eat healthy and proper portions and you'll be fine.

Boy, i can't stop thinking that she told you to only eat fish 1-2 per week at the MAX!

That is just plain CRAZY.

There is nothing more healthy in the world than fish. Studies have been done to show that cultures that have diets high in fish have lower cases of heart disease, cancer, alzheimers, etc...

Boy. that is just plain horrible. what a kook.

i said it before, but I will repeat

There is no secret. Decrease calories. Eat an equal balance of protein, carbs & fat. Increase exercise. Period.

Very easy to type (even eaiser to cut & paste), very difficult to execute.

She actually did express the need for lots of beans and did mention the flaxseed etc.

LIke I said.. Card carrying vegan hippy.. Im sure she was.. and while I didnt type out the whole thing she told me, it made sense to me when she was explaining it.

In any case, its a lifestyle change for sure.. no matter what you do.
