How much do you weigh, and how tall are you?
Question:
Answers:
I'm 13.5 stones and 5'8" and 66 years old. I am overweight by at least 1.5 stones. I'm on a diet - by that I mean, I'm eating all my usual foods, but less of them. Hope to have lost maybe 10 lbs by Xmas or New Year. I'm in no rush, just want to get it off and keep it off really. At my time of life a slimming diet is not a good idea.
Best laugh ever is reading today in one of the London freebie newspapers of a couple in their 80s who have been eating Big Macs every day for the last 17 years. They look slim and neat. They said they even sold one house to move into a house closer to the MacDonald's Restaurant near where they live, think in Eastbourne.
My Comment.
Sorry to disappoint anyone, but it's not Big Macs which has kept them 'young' in their 80s. The real reason is the Wartime diet of c1940-1945. The diet was very low in fat and meat and very high in vegetable matter and fruit and lots of bread. I actually grew up on it. Yum! But I doubt anyone really wants to go back to that - rationing and all that.
Why do I mention the wartime diet and long-life? I have read a report from my own pension fund and the managers of same have been wondering for some years now why there are so many 80+ year old's still drawing pensions? This is not supposed to happen; we're supposed to die off sometime in our mid 70s. Just ain't happening. Gonna be an army of 90 year olds soon.
By the way, the oldest wind-surfer on the plant is 93 still going and living in Oz. Missed his name on the news. He took up the sport somtime in his 60s about thirty years ago. He's in Guiness - the oldest wind surfer in the world. What if he makes it to 100 and is still wind surfing? Blimey!
Edit: When Dr Benjamin Franklin FRS died, he weighed in at a massive 300 pounds. Not sure just how tall he was, think around the 5'6" - 5'8" mark. Blame it on the hamburgers then!
