Several years ago on Australian radio they had a weekly one hour program with a top doctor. The topic was health as you age. This quite renown doctor said his biggest problem with patients as they aged was trying to convince them that tea and biscuits did not constitute a meal. He said he tried in vain to get his patients to eat a substantive meal. You are what you digest as we age we need more of certain nutrients than we did in our younger days. Please try and spend some time online and find out about functional medicine it could add several healthy years to your life. I do not think that one cup, or in my case, mug of tea with two sugars ( the packets of "Lite" sugar) and half the calories, and a couple of biscuits will do any harm. Have you heard the saying that "a little of what you fancy does you good" apart from smoking, I think there is a ring of truth to it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chiang mai Posted December 29, 2016 Share Posted December 29, 2016 There's a number of medical conditions where the only real outward symptom is a large or swollen abdomen, to most people it appears the person lacks exercise, eats too much or drinks beer all day. Not so in many cases, fatty liver and kidney problems both cause swollen belly and but only blood tests and ultrasound scan can confirm, both can be life threatening so not always best to assume only alcohol or sloth is involved.

Also a little growing gracefully wouldn't hurt. Have you considered that many just don't care? I've seen a lot of health fanatics a lot unhappier with their lives than many of these less healthy specimens. It doesn't matter how healthy we are, we're all going end. Being too health conscious causes a lot of stress those other guys don't have. I know one guy as described in the OP - he's a very jolly fellow who really enjoys life... more than I do with a 6-pack.

RandolphGB Posted December 29, 2016 Share Posted December 29, 2016 Quote I see so many. It really is epidemic. Maybe just more visible because of the beach and the bars around Beach Road. Even sadly some quite young guys, yes with the Chang tank top "bullseye" on it. Really will anyone give a candid response? Or perhaps ask a friend? What does it feel like on a daily basis carrying around a gut like that. I'm thinking it's gotta be super uncomfortable and at times painful. Love to get some feed back. Thanks.

Seriously, most amputees probably had decades to correct the condition and they are generally the ones who gave up. That's the advanced final stage.

I only complain about those who say they do everything to lose weight but can't (while its obvious they make no effort at all). If people are happy they way they look and have no health issue's let them be. Though I hate it if I got someone like that next to me in a plane restricting my movement. I like your comment about doing something about it.. because that really is it.. people have to want it otherwise its sure to fail. Only when I was totally repulsed with the way I looked did i change it. Before that point i preferred to eat and drink (alcohol)) whatever I want and feel good about it. Six or seven years ago I ballooned to 204 pounds. My clothes didn't fit, i wasn't too proud of my looks, I huffed and puffed, avoided mirrors and my tool wasn't so sharp. I 'acquired' a younger (much) girlfriend at the time and when she went on a two month trip I went on a diet and excercise routine and lost 16 pounds in six weeks. Alas, she is gone now but I have kept the weight off and in 2016 I lost several more pounds and weigh in at 180 now. Feel much better, look much better, clothes fit and my tool is sharper as well. Lots of benefits to keeping fit. Bicycle, weight training and proper(mostly) diet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

denby45 Posted December 29, 2016 Share Posted December 29, 2016 I was very lucky. I have asthma and if I even put on a few pounds I can have problems so I have to keep it off and exercise regularly to keep it at bay. If I look at chocolate I put on weight so I could get very big. Means I have to be very restrictive with my diet. Didn't think I was lucky as a kid with asthma but now I see the benefits. Den Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can eat chocolate but only good quality dark chocolate. No need to be restrictive with your diet, just eat healthy food as you can eat all you want if its healthy food. The hardest part is sorting the healthy food out from the unhealthy food. All the food in fast food outlets is not really food, its Frankenfood. Most of the stuff in supermarkets is unhealthy processed crap. Stick to meat fish eggs and vegetables. Not too much fried stuff. Cut down on dairy and try and cut out bread. Try swapping spirits for beer but no soft drink mixes. Mix spirits with water. I have found the Paleo diet the best as it allows bacon and eggs every day. Good luck.
