Hello Vel!
I saw for the first time on Stoke telly today ...an advert for Tunnock's Caramel Wafers. I hope Bodil gets to see it! |

Stoke telly?

By:
In a recent issue of National Geographic they rated all foodstuffs from 1 to 100.
The only two to achieve the mazimum healthy ranking of 100 were blueberries and broccoli. Tomatoes scored 99. |

By:
Well, you know what I mean Sparky!
Adverts seem to be different in different parts of the country and I've never seen one for Tunnock's here before. |
|
By:
Tommy, I've had to ditch the Tunnock's wafers as they cannot be justified on a SCIENTIFIC basis.
At last, they have reached Stoke's telly, though - Scotland's cultural impact is indeed MASSIVE. |

By:
And a popsicle merited a score of just 1. I was quite surprised at this as it's mostly water.

Pokermonster - who rated the foods? Timeform?

Usual daily fat intake is over 80g for a man. There's evidence this should be under 20g. High fat diet causes much more adverse health effects than diabetes and heart disease. It' even contributes to schizophrenia and Alzheimer's.
I take 5g a day of highly purifed cod liver oil and use olive oil for frying and sprinkling on salads. Saturated fats and trans fats are worst for health. Bake as much food as you can in the oven. This preserves micronutrients. |

Wur, is that the extra strength cod liver oil? It's 3 times stronger than the normal oil.

My god, Tommy, we agree on something. I love tunnocks caramel wafers but they always come in packs of five and a woman must watch her figure, or men won't watch her!
Tunnocks also do snowballs and those marshmellow things, also, alas in packs of 4 and 6. |

LOL at Gene - got some good runs from Bran.

Wur, is that the extra strength cod liver oil? It's 3 times stronger than the normal oil. No, it's cod liver oil with impurities removed, like mercury, PCBs and dioxins, which accumulate in fat. I get mine online from a company called 'Higher Nature'. |

lol PM!

Definitely not. I get a bad reaction to unpurified fish oil. I ought to have said 'fish oil' rather than 'cod liver oil' in previous posts. I get a bad depressive reaction to unpurified oil, but that's probably a personal idiosyncrasy.

Your list is a little neater than mine Sparky, so we can excuse your tardiness on this occasion sir. :)

Interesting, but I think it's wrong to think of foods as 'good or bad' - it's too simplistic.
More relevant is the system - i.e. body - that they're going into. For example if all you've eaten all day is the #100 fruit and vegetables then a sausage is actually good for you as it will provide fat and protein that your body needs. The stupid thing is you don't really need a diet plan or to do much reading on what's good for you to lose weight/be healthy, you probably already know. i.e. eats lots of fruit and veg and go easy on fatty and sugary foods. If you eat lots of the former you won't need much of the latter. Add in a bit more exercise than normal and stick with it and you'll lose half a stone in 3 or 4 weeks without much effort at all. |

I don't know Tom. That's a bit of an oversight isn't it!

Good points from Slipperynipple.

Obviously it wasn't an Irishman who compiled the list...Guinness isn't on it either.

Guinness is proabably 101 and it didn't fit on the coupon.

What if Hoss is right? What if your body really does know what's best?

One's body is easily deceived Velasquez. If it wasn't kebab sales would fall through the floor.
|

By:
as opposed to on the floor, which is common.
|
|
By:
True Sparky. :)
I should have said it is the brain which is easily deceived, the body knows exactly what to do with a kebab. |
|
By:
It is indeed a grave oversight PM!
I reckon Hoss is right. I always listen to my body, subsequently, I don't put on weight and can eat anything I like. I was pretty hung over today but my body was telling me it wanted chicken, stuffing and broccoli, with loads of gravy and a good dollop of vinegar - so that's what it had! |

By:
Tommy - apparently, Robert-0 Duran ball00ned up to 230 lbs after the first Sugar Ray fight, and Sugar Ray wanted a quick return to take advantage of this...hence, Robert-0's "no mas" humiliation in the ring...all because he listened to his body telling him to be a fat bast@rdo !

By:
Ha ha, excellent, Vel!

By:
Earlier today, people within about 50m had very little choice about listening to my body. And that wasn't the only sense they were exposed to!
