So, Why DO We Get Fat?

Last night I ate jalapeño poppers wrapped in bacon and stuffed with cream cheese for dinner, tonight I ate steak
jalapeño poppers were like 4 carbs total and steak is 0

I'm really curious about the breathing thing. Breads are carbs, carbs turn into sugar etc yes vegetables have virtually no carbs along with chicken eggs fish etc I prefer fish I mean jesus lookin pretty fit   

All I do is i eat at 6 am and again at 6 pm and it gives me 12 hours fasting in between twice. Besides that, fish and chicken with vegetables it's really simple. Basically no breads and no soda. It doesn't even have to be all the time though I mean every Sunday or every other weekend eat as much bread as u want, screw it lol drink a gallon of soda. Your body will pass it super fast because it doesn't have that build up anymore. The problem is everyone is clogged. Also, my preference but I really feel vinegar detox me although study says it's ridiculous I feel great from vinegar in my salad or eating pickled things it feels clean. I try to stay away from beef because it makes me feel gross not so much hamburgers as other things. Mostly fish though is what I eat, lots of salmon like a bear rawr

I wish there was a diet that worked universally -- but there isn't.  Our bodies are similar but in many ways very different.

My nutritionist is getting me into the habit of eating similarly to what you're doing -- only I have to eat 90 grams of protein per day.  That's... more than I can often mange unless I'm gulping down a lot of nutritional shakes.

Still -- good on you for your strategy!  I'm losing (though mostly through involuntary fasting -- kidney stones.)

But, as UltraBudgie said, as you age, a little extra fat is good.  Once you're over 50, illness can stretch on for days more than it does when you're younger, and a bit of fat is actually better for your survival.

That makes sense
