Your Diet

What is your diet? Poll to follow.

Use your own definitions; if you consider yourself vegetarian but enjoy fish from time to time, go vegetarian. If you consider yourself Kosher but can’t pass up a bacon cheeseburger, go kosher.

As for me, I’ll eat whatever is on my plate, provided it isn’t still wiggling. Or organ meats. Or freshwater fish. Or spicier than Taco Bell medium sauce.

Food. Doesn’t even need to be on a plate.

Mediterranean food on British time.

I’m just a fan of food in general but I’m trying to lose some weight. I keep hearing how people have great results with paleo but I refuse to be on a diet that won’t let me eat pickles.

Vegan for about 6 years. Vegetarian for 2-3 years before that. And before that i ate anything and everything i could shove into my face. I’m 33.

I try to cut back on carbs as much as possible, and only drink once a week. I’m trying to lose now, so I also have very calorie-restricted days twice a week. We’ll see how long that lasts once I get to the point where I’m just trying to maintain.

Your poll doesn’t allow for multiples - for instance, vegetarian and gluten-free.

I’m a 59 year old omnivore who enjoys almost all food. I have no health reasons to exclude anything, so I don’t.

Went gluten-free on the advice on my gastroenterologist in May*. I dropped 12 lbs and I feel much better. It sucked at first, but I am used to it now.

*I was tested for celiac. I was positive for antibodies, somewhere indeterminate on biopsy (#2 on the scale), not a clear cut diagnosis, no vitamin deficiencies and no anemia. Dr. said go gluten free and see if I improved, I did.

If it’s not poisonous or moving faster than me it’s fair game.

Oboy, you can put that stuff on my plate!
You can have the canned baked beans, beets, and boiled eggs, and someone else can have the food that’s hot enough to make my lips or fingers burn.

Plate optional, like silenus. :slight_smile:

Ovo-lacto-vegetarian. Note: Fish is not vegetarian. You messed up the poll, dog.

The only foods I won’t eat are: haggis, limburger cheese, kidneys, brains, and anything that can look up at me while I’m eating it. Everything else is good.

But I cut back on high-glycemic-index foods for health reasons.

I picked “No Diet” because I don’t have any special restrictions, but I do try to monitor what I eat and to not splurge too often.

I thought it was okay to eat fish, seeing as how they don’t have any feelings.

No special diet other than moderation. I try to limit white flour carbs, but don’t cut them out entirely. Same with red meat, fats, fried foods, etc.

Strict. I eat meat, fish, chicken, most vegetables, many fruits, yoghurt, reduced fat milk, nuts.

I don’t eat eggs, pork (just don’t like the taste), offal, shellfish, creamy sauces.

Binge triggers: bread, chocolate.

I’m an Omnivore.

I just generally try to eat more ‘things that are good for me’ and fewer ‘things that aren’t so good for me’.

The only rule I follow is no meat except for fish. Everything else goes.

Plus they won’t remember it after three seconds. :wink:
