BangkokReady Posted July 13, 2023 Share Posted July 13, 2023 (edited) 7 hours ago, bignok said: Does life get boring if you give up things like chocolate, ice cream and alcohol? Or can you live a plain life and be happy? I don't think boring, but certainly less happy. Once certain things are established in your "diet" I think you quickly adapt to a new "base-level" and without it you are less happy. Once your brain knows what can cause it to release dopamine, it craves that thing. It is literally happiness. Regardless of any effort at a healthy lifestyle, I have been unable to ever completely quit chocolate or cola. Also, I think it is natural in us to seek out new experiences and explore new places. Research suggests that wanting to change our mental states is very normal. And, of course, we like sugary, salty and fatty foods by default. https://nypost.com/2023/03/14/this-is-what-bored-apes-do-to-catch-a-buzz-new-study/ Edited July 13, 2023 by BangkokReady Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bradiston Posted July 13, 2023 Share Posted July 13, 2023 If you want to actually try living without most luxuries, why not try a keto diet? One way to test your mental strength and lose weight fast! Of course, YMMV. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alcohol is rare already, past 15 yrs. Actually have 4 beers left, from the last slab, and honestly can't see myself buying another, as takes me too long to drink them. Thankfully never took up smoking cigs. My biggest vice ... I got to get out of here. I need my O&As, and out now for couple weeks. As much as I love where I live, and house is designed by us, I just got to get out and see something different.

SportRider Posted July 14, 2023 Share Posted July 14, 2023 Don't give up chocolate, just acquire the taste for high-cocoa like 85%+ (I generally have 95%+). It has health benefits without the sugar. Ice cream... Hardly ever have anyway... Alcohol - a biggie for me... Moderation is the target. Abstinence is difficult. But I know people who manage it through other 'medicinal' alternatives! ???????? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just live my life on balanced basis as I get older you get to know your limitations. I have 3 month check ups at the local hospital clinic to keep a eye on my health which is reassuring. I don't like to get being overweight so I try keep to my height weight and still eat what I like now and again but less of it. I drink beer in moderation every day because I like it and don't drink spirits. I have my hobbies to and do some maintenance on our farmland and the house, so basically it's just a case of keeping yourself busy. I'm busy now drinking Leo, after a morning of ebike build. Tis leading me to more LEO. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After nearly 3 years his battery needed replacing and something to do with the drive cog whatever needed replacing at not that much cost, so all good now.
