While watching "Fat, Sick and Nearly Dead" it reminded me of interactions with people who don't care about health and will actually poke fun at us "health nuts". I don't have feelings so it doesn't bother me.
Naysayer: "But, Steve, isn't it silly to say that you'll never have a doughnut again?"
Me: "I'm not saying I'll never have a doughnut again. I'm saying I feel so good that I don't even want a doughnut. Do I miss the taste? Yeah, who the hell wouldn't! But I feel too good."
It goes on and on usually. Sure, I slip every now and then and have a soda...or a slice - whatever. But the science says that your gut will change and your body will adapt - I.E. Once you are fat adapted, it's harder to get out of fat adaptation. If you're a sugar/carb operator, it's harder to break the cycle and become fat adapted. But looking at the screenshot below, you'll never become fat-adapted following this. Eggs once a week? Fat-free dairy Sugar bombs twice a week? Eggs are one of the most nutrient-dense foods out there.

All that said, "Fat, Sick and Nearly Dead" is an inspiring film. If a normal guy can drop 202lbs/91kg, I can certainly get rid of these pesky 10 or 15 from college and encourage those around me. The way isn't through "calorie-in, calorie-out", but rather eating clean, natural and unprocessed foods.
Most of the food I now eat has only one ingredient. A sirloin cut piece of beef with a spinach salad full of tomatoes, peppers, maybe some cheese and blueberries with a balsamic/oil/vinaigrette dressing. Doesn't that just sound a lot more healthy than a TV dinner? And better? It does to me, but that's just me. I'm not here to tell anyone they should change or that they are wrong. Frankly, it's not my problem or concern. This is what works for me, that's all.
Happy trails, all!
