Shillzz Posted January 11, 2012 Author Share Posted January 11, 2012 Never really thought of things like that, but it makes a lot of sense. Anyway... Over the time I've always kept a list of things that can be considered as happy foods, incorporating them into my diet as much as possible. If anyone's interested: Cottage Cheese Bananas Citrus Fruits Walnuts Turkey Sunflower Seeds Sesame Seeds Lentils Avocado Oats Wholegrain foods Milk Mackerel Cod Halibut Tuna Sweetcorn Egg whites Other things i've benefitted from to some extent: St Johns Wort Omega 3 tablets Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shillzz Posted January 11, 2012 Author Share Posted January 11, 2012 I'll concede that I visit your list more than my own, regrettably. Having just met the girl of my dreams, i'm absofuckinglutely determined never to come home with a miserable look on my face though, so gotta change the diet.

mjmooney Posted January 11, 2012 VT Supporter Share Posted January 11, 2012 India? One place I'd NEVER go. Couldn't stand the heat, the food, or the sight of the poverty. Do you not like curry, mjmooney?No, I do not. It's one for the "Things I don't get" thread. What is the point of a food that drowns the taste of the meat in spices, causes a burning mouth, runny nose and profuse sweating, and leaves a lingering taste and smell for days? Can't see the appeal at all. I'll go out for a curry with the missus once or twice a year (she loves them), just to be sociable, but that's about my limit. Wouldn't care if I never ate one again.

BOF Posted January 11, 2012 Moderator Share Posted January 11, 2012 Cottage Cheese - Never Bananas - Almost every day Citrus Fruits - Every day Walnuts - Never Turkey - Never (I do eat chicken regularly though) Sunflower Seeds - Never Sesame Seeds - Regularly (in curries) Lentils - Rarely Avocado - Never Oats - Almost every day in granola breakfast bar Wholegrain foods - Rarely Milk - Every day Mackerel - I eat a lot of fish, this is one I do eat Cod - Very rarely. Expensive and over-rated. Halibut - Never Tuna - Regularly Sweetcorn - Regularly (with tuna) Egg whites - Average maybe one egg a day. So I score quite highly on that list Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Haha I love the fact that you work (and I presume live) near one of the best areas for curry, where it is hard to get any other decent take away food. But you hate the food. Nothing better than a curry crap to clear the system out! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not all that different, actually: Pizza - occasionally Kebabs - almost never Fish & Chips - fairly frequently (had some for lunch today) Burgers - rarely (usually home made) Chinese food - very rarely Indian food - almost never (see my other post) I'm pretty much a trad English OR French guy. Meat, fish, potatoes, some veg, bread, eggs, dairy (milk, cheese, cream), chocolate and sugary things, kind of guy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BOF Posted January 11, 2012 Moderator Share Posted January 11, 2012 No, my point is that not all curries do that. If you don't like that (and plenty don't), then don't order the ones that do. Or cook the ones that don't. I didn't mean learn to like it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
