National Eat What You Want Day

Bustle

The concept behind Eat What You Want Day is pretty straightforward — for one whole day, indulge in all your favorite foods with fervor, no second thoughts or negativity allowed. Which, at first, sounds like a dream as you think about the mega burrito order you’re gonna unleash on Chipotle for lunch later on today. But then, you realize that the idea of having one day of the year allocated for eating your favorite foods no strings attached implies that eating your favorite foods any other day of the year does come with strings attached — and that makes me kind of sad.


Also, it's National Hamburger Month.

Could be anything, could be just guilt.

Agreed, these days every fast food meal is followed by a stomach ache. Plus a tooth scrub of course.

Recently I couldn't even make it through a whole can of Coke, had to toss it with a 1/4 left when a sugar cramp set in. Can't believe people swill that syrup daily.

For me it happened from being a poor guy at farmers market. Everyone trades.

Getting around other people they say they cant afford to eat like that. I cant afford not too.

For meat, I let customers or good friends hunt on the ranch. Put meat in my freezer. Or help out the cowboys, and when one breaks its leg, it goes in the freezer.

Coffee. My only weakness.

Did you know the natives didn't get cavities due to their diet?

I ate subway yesterday. It was a rough night.

Same with alcohol. Dont do it a long time, and you notice the effects of just one. Even mental clarity the next day. I notice im more combative. I just gave it up.

Theres something called "the master cleanse." It will speed up the process of cleansing your body. Nothing but a drink mixture of water, lemon juice, maple syrup and cayenne pepper for 10 days.

Granted. Im 5'10" and 150 lbs. Normal by the rest of the worlds standards, anorexic by americans. However, before eating this way i would run 120-130.

No, I didn't. Source? What did they eliminate as variables?

Probably has a lot to do with your built up tolerance. First time skiing, I have aches and pain. By the end of the season, I'm tired but OK.

There's also something called Enzyte endorsed by none other than Ron Jeremy. Doesn't mean I believe it without some scientific proof. As a diet to lose weight, maybe. Cleansing? What are you trying to remove and how did you prove it worked?

Churchill drank six pints of whiskey a day, and smoked an estimated 250,000 cigars in his life time, as well as enjoying proper eating.

He lived long enough and saved the free world from Hitler so I'll go with his diet!

Yeah no kidding. I find I eat half the amount I used to eat 10 years ago though.

I had ten strips of bacon on Sunday, which usually represents my normal bacon consumption over a six-month period. I need you all to join hands and pray for my cardiovascular system.
