err yeah, sugar does indeed give one a rush, but it also causes you to crash afterwards as well you know lol. Its not good energy food at all, it doesn't give you any real sustainable energy.
I disagree that you can eat anthing you want without it affecting you as long as you eat a bit of veg and exercise well. you can't. Everyone has different constitutions, so some can get away with more, but still eating bad food and drinking bad fluids will still affect everyone on some level whether you like it or not.
Everything is allowed in moderation, True that eating unhealthy foods and drinking beer will result in a beergut and its not good for you, but if you put the effort into boosting your body's metabolism, it will break down excess fat reserves. Fat is purely substance that normally is broken down to release energy that you've gained through food but if you get to the point where your putting too much food in and not using that energy then it'll store it as a fat reserve, remember the human body is built to survive, so as your metabolism is your bodies own way of breaking down that fat, then its a natural healthy way to regulate your weight and through that alone i don't have to worry about what i eat.

Of course eating a bit of red meat isn't going to turn you into a raving lunatic lol, but eating red meat does indeed make you mind harder to still. So while you probably wouldn't have any probem during a normal busy day. But if you were say into meditation, you would find it easier to concentrate and empty the mind without the meat. This is of course the reason the yogi's reccomend a Sattvic diet(i.e no meat and nothing else that causes too much stimulation). Of course you can indeed still empty the mind while eating red meat (take many of the Chinese masters for example) but it might take longer. Avoid eating bad quality meat as much as you can.
In any given period of time, of you where to read my mind it'd be running at 100mph down a endless road in there.
Depending on where i am i could be going through what i need to do, to plan, to talk to, to fix, so on and so forth. for instance i'm thinking about the work i've got to do infront of me, the several letters and documentation i need to sort out, but at the same time thinking of the holiday insurance i need to see to, the fathers day card to buy, the things the gf left at my house that need to be taken round tomorro, money for the weekend and if i can call in any more favours from people i've leant money, what i'll be upto tonight and loving the prodigy on the radio.
You believe in spiritual and specific diets to keep yourself at peace, I believe in the horoscopes, more specifically the write up of a scorpio is a copy paste of my own way of life and personality. calm on the outside, and a raging torrent of information going round. Being alone or in a crowd doesn't phase me, i'm content with both the rat race of life and solitude, so long as i have my own control on things in my life then nothing can phase me. i don't have restless nights or nightmares. i don't really know how to explain it, if you where one of my best mates that i grew up with, you'd be able to understand what my personality truly is. outgoing, confident and very to the point. if i don't like something, i just say it instantly without care for what may happen. Being headstrong is one of the best ways to get ahead in life.

Anyway this is all proven scientific stuff really, despite what some might tell you. I haven't even mentioned my views on the energetics of meat yet lol, but I think that might be a bit much for now.
no no, feel free to say it
just know that i'll listen but chances are 2% i'd actually act upon it
Sure there are certain foods you should eat to have a correct balance of chemicals and things in your body. But the way i see it; from caveman times to probably 1900's nobody paid too much attention/knew anything compared to what we now know about food. they used it as a energy source and nothing more. Thats the same for me in a sense, i do enjoy my food and drink and as long as i put in the physical requirements to keep my metabolism high, it'll burn through the excess fat that woud normally appear, my stamina will stay high (usefull for all sorts really) and because i'm having to work up a sweat for my metabolism, im also building up my body. The metabolsim also plays a part in the immune system, so chances of getting ill are lower than others (only thing i know i can't fight off 100% is a throat infection, but then again i work with trampy cows who don't have the manners to cover their mouth or wash their hands) overall the insides are well kept, the chances of something getting in to throw a spanner in the works are low and my physical self is getting bigger but for the right reasons.

If you really eat whatever you want with little effects, I would suggest training in something like Tai ji to get your internal energy strong, but even then it's best to still have a decent diet at least.
As i've said, as far as i'm aware everythings going well, not much can get in to stop me working properly. I do core training - cardio to keep my heart healthy and the stronger that the tendons and muscles become through intense burst training like the afterburn workouts the further i can go to stay in good shape.
Don't get me wrong, i'm not a musclehead who goes to the gym and pumps weights in some weird urge to become a freak with more muscles than braincells. I wanted to go to the gym to bulk up because for years i trained my legs for running, left my torso and arms to grow on their own... this resulted in my legs being built and great for running, but my arms couldn't lift much more than my own body weight. since going i've filled out and defined muscle and look healthier for it. not yet at the stage where i'm happy with my arms but they are truly getting there.
For a 16 year old 8 stone twiglet to a 20/21 year old 11 and a bit stone, average heighted guy with a big torso and arms looking more than double the size, its just helped boost my confidence further than it already was and help me feel better about the way i look. It was a constant battle with my own body to put weight on for years, (training legs resulted in metabolism rising too) so i had to adapt myself to eating more than i could burn off, then building it into muscle. (easier to build fat into muscle than to build muscle from scratch). its whats worked for me s i'm not going to knock it really.
