**ollie** · 07/01/2006, 12:18 AM

Smoking Don't smoke thank god.never did

Caffeine Don't drink coffee.very very rarely would i have tea.

Alcohol it varies from 0 to 3 times a week.(depends if i'm working at weekends and/or in college.) usually around 5 pints give or take a bit a night

Recreational goodies Not my scene

Chocolate and sweet snacks this is my downfall.have something sweet almost every day.i'm a minor chocoholic.

Pub snacks: crisps, nuts, pork scratchings crisps at work mostly.the odd time i'd have nuts

Processed meat about 2 or 3 servings with processed meat a week

The White Stuff: have a bit with every hot chicken roll i get(i get about 2 a week.whenever i get a sandwich though i always get brown bread cause its supposed to be a lot better for you.maybe once a week i'd buy a sandwich.i use brown rice instead of white also.

Added sugar have a about 2 or 3 tea spoons of it the odd time i have porridge

Lazy food: takeaways and ready meals Takeaway from lennoxs and hillbillys and donatello's. usually have about one a week maybe 2.

Bad fats – saturated fats Probably (see much of the above)

Fizzy drinks have a pint of diet 7up every time i'm working which is about once a week during college and it varies at other times.don't touch coke and rarely touch other fizzy sugary drinks.have a bottle of powerade before i play most football matches

Table salt sometimes put a sachet with chips from takeaway

i'm rarely sick and weigh 10.5 stone and i'm 5"11 so i makes off i'm not too bad.need to put on weight more than loose it.need to beef up with weights over the next few months.

Aspartame. Theories abound that it's bad for pretty much every part of your body - particularly your brain, and there's stories of Coke, Pepsi etc suppressing evidence and scientific reports that say so as well.

Might just be the usual urban myth, but tobacco companies also suppressed bad reports about smoking for years before they were forced to admit it. Artifical sweeteners are massively cheaper than sugar and are man-made (i.e. not as market-dependent as natural substances like sugar), so the theory is that there's a clear financial benefit to manufacturers in using them.

I drink a lot of fizzies and my memory has been noticeably shot to pieces in the last 5 or so years, so I've switched away from the Diet versions of Pepsi. I figured that as long as my dental hygeine was good, the negative impact of the sugar in those drinks should be less than any possible negative impact of the aspartame. Next step is to give the buggers up totally though....

Do a google search on Aspartame and you'll find tonnes of 'interesting' stuff...

Feck ! Do you have trouble staying upright in a brisk wind......?

I'm 6"1' and a little over 13 stone. I've never been fat, but I aas up at 15 stone almost 2 years ago. Those were the days when Breakfast consisted of 2 bars of chocolate and a packet of crisps in the office, which pretty much set the tone for the rest of the day.....

some tv pundit in a Sunday paper mentioned that he's rather choke on a 10th kebab of the night while on the razzle, rather than listen that wizened old witch nagging at him. Tend to agree!

Tayto bikers if you're lucky, Jinty McGinty's pub sell them at 60p a packet, thieving bas*****

Waxy O'Connor's used to always have Tayto and Club Orange in stock. Have they stopped carrying these products?

Smoking Don't smoke
Caffeine Tea, between 2 & 4 cups a day.
Alcohol Don't drink.
Chocolate and sweet snacks Far too much!
Pub snacks: crisps, nuts, pork scratchings Very little.
Processed meat A good bit.
The White Stuff: As someone else said, brown bread doesn't taste as good.
Added sugar A little on my breakfast cereal, rarely otherwise.
Lazy food: takeaways and ready meals Often.
Table salt Only on chips, so very rarely.
Bad fats � saturated fats Pay no attention to this - I wouldn't know good from bad!
Fizzy drinks Far too much, but I'm cutting them out.

I'm 6'0" and far too fat to tell.

I've just realised that that Gillian McKeith is talking out of her arse ! Those aren't the 12 most toxic foods. Plenty others are worse for you, like these for starters :

1) A Sh!t sandwich (or anything involving excrament, particularly pidgeon's).
2) Cyanaide-on-toast.
3) Raw meat (particularly if it's been out of the fridge for some time on a hot day).
4) Freshly killed un-cooked chickens from certain regions of Turkey.
5) BSE-Burgers.
6) Well out-of-date eggs fed to sick old people on an empty stomach.
7) A knuckle sandwich from somebody much bigger and angrier than you.
8) Cod Liver Oil (liquid form).
9) Hot Dogs from street vendors.
10) Marmite

See ! That doris knows nothin'.......

Smoking: Don't smoke

Caffeine: Don't drink coffee but have a bottle of coke the odd time

Alcohol: At least 1 heavy night out every week (drink more during football season, especially on away trips)

Chocolate and sweet snacks: Not much any more, maybe 1-2 bags of hula hoops a week!

Pub snacks: No

Processed meat: Maybe the odd burger or fry up, but rarely these days.

The White Stuff: The odd sandwich, once or twice a week.

Added sugar: Not that I'm aware of!

Lazy food: A nice Indian Madras with chips one evening a week and the same after a night out. Maybe a Pizza the odd time too.

Table salt: Used to have loads but very rarely use it now, not even on chips.

Fizzy drinks: Not much anymore, try to stick to juice.

I go to the gym about 5 days a week and do about 3-4 kms on threadmill plus a decent amount of weights in each session.
