Being skinny is a good way to live a long life. A calorie restricted diet is the only proven life extension method known( well, known by the common folks, anyway). Avoiding calorie dense foods, ice cream, for instance is impolrtant to long life.Many People who are fighting diabetes can win by strict diet control. Keeping the blood sugar evened out by eating small meals often allows the body to heal & strat to regulate itself. Of course, those small meals have to be meals made up of the right stuff. Beans for breakfast is one of the recommended ways to start out.

My secret to staying trim,... insomnia, worry, and a high idle...

Skid, you can allways put a kick start on the Savage ,that might help.

Since a good number of us appear tobe late middle aged at best, remember that your metabolism slows down a lot after age 60.

I know that I can gain a couple or three pounds just over a weekend if I eat junk.  For me, my healthy eating is best during the work week, when I can get salmon salads, etc. for lunch, and my wife and I typically eat dinner alone or with just each other more during the week.

But when the weekend comes, especially our almost every Friday night gathering with a group of friends, that's when caution goes to the wind.

I often spend Mon. thru Fri. losing the weight that I gain Friday night thru Sunday.
