But eating for nutrition instead of indulging in taste is the way to go, IMO.

14. Joe Frazier used to train eating one meal a day

Of half a chicken. That's nuts when your a boxer because when training you burn calories galore

16. For real? His metabolism must have been super slow.

Overweight: Is being overweight unhealthy or not?
Published: June 28, 2013

Earlier this year several North American news media reported on a new study which suggests that being "moderately" overweight may increase longevity. Great news it would seem for 2/3 of the population who are overweight or obese.

At around the same time the findings of another study suggested that obese cardiac patients have better health outcomes than normal weight cardiac patients: that is, the heavier patients were less likely to die prematurely.

***snip***

Of course, the authors of the first study could argue that the increased longevity is only associated with being "moderately" overweight, but what does moderately overweight mean?...

Dad has been saying. What I find amazing, though, is that he hasn't taken a single day off since his PoliticsNation show first aired in 2011. Every time I tune in, there he is, sitting in the chair.

8. Food minimization has been my 'thing' for 7 months now.

I dropped 37 pounds in five of those months. It's become clear to me that we are too easily addicted to what our taste buds tell us. When I stopped eating for taste, I stopped giving in to all those cravings I indulged in every day.
