You're serious? Good lord man how come you ain't dead yet? With a diet that strict I'd lose a kilo per day, honestly.
(although having said that, beans, fish and flax oil, apricots, nonfat cottage cheese... it's all A+ in my opinion, it's just not enough calories for me, I burn a *lot* more)

I'm 58, 6'1" 185 lbs. I wrestled in HS and College 178 lb class, and always maintained a good healthy lifestyle.

Food is just sustenance. Being able to still do more than most, priceless.

Of course playing wargames PBEM, I'm constantly stomped on. Keeps me humble.

So I return the topic back to the galloping food gourmets.

If I was on a diet like that i'd would lose a bunch of weight, dry up and blow away.....No thanks....I'll keep to my svelte 300+......

I'd probably have to take up smoking again...Just to have some flavor in my diet

Oh you should have seen the California folks here freak when I made and drank sweet tea here and when I described Southern food. They about fell over when I told them about covering rice with gravy.

Galloping gourmet ? That rigs a distant bell. Title of an old tv show, correct ?

Goodness! I'd just as soon die of clogged arteries at 55 then live to 80 if that was all I had to eat.

Status: offline 		I just love my Mom's fried chicken, spoon bread, cornbread, lentil soup, and beef stew. That is what I grew up on and at 46 and 6ft tall I weigh in at 125 lbs. When left to my own devices I eat a very bland and spartan diet. Lots of whole grains and no refined carbs and average about 1500 calories per day. Except for one cup of cappaccino in the morning I only drink filtered water. Well I do drink beer when gaming. Spaten and Bass. yum.

See it wasn't all bad then.

Wow, you're not kidding. I was planning to ask you *which* Depression; the 30's, the 80's or the current one. I checked your profile first though... the thirties!
You have my respect sir.
