easy on the meat

My downfall. :

Meat has never been a main dish in my family. Meat is served as a treat.

For us, meat was The Staple. Always a veggie and a starch as "sides".
But the main course was almost invariably meat. Chicken and fish
as "meat substitutes" -- and pasta once a week.

We tend to eat more wild fish, organic poultry.

It was only later in life that I started eating salmon. Previously,
cod/schrod and shrimp. We currently eat too much chicken -- it's
boring (too hard to marinate).

Never eat white bread. Never drink milk, never indulge in sweets, never

I drink about 6 gallons of milk yearly -- usually in 1 gallon "spurts".
I bake *lots* of sweets (I'll go through 50 pounds of flour in the
next couple of months) but don't eat them. Ice cream, OTOH, goes down
by the gallon (when I succumb to the temptation).

drink ice cold water, no salt shaker on the table.

I gave up "added salt" 30 years ago. It is actually a worthwhile
experience that I would recommend to everyone -- even if only
on a temporary basis. It's only once you've given it up that you
realize how *much* salt is in the food you eat! A McDonald's
hamburger tastes the same as a potato chip (wrt salt).

I just made a round between 5 specialists. They say I am in good shape.
Annual routine for transplant patients. Only change is, suggested to get a
pair of glasses for driving.

My eyes haven't changed in almost 40 years -- or so the eye doctors say.
But, I'm sure my next visit will see some changes in my close-in
vision. I've noticed that I can't easily read the small print on
many of the chips that I use when "up close".

Good eating needs good digestion. I eat well,
sleep well, eliminate well no issues with this basic 3 things.

Taking a sh*t has never been a problem! : Sleep, OTOH, is something
I am perpetually warned to get more of. Too many interesting things
to do vs. spending time asleep! :-/
