I thought the saying was "you are what you eat"...

I don't like vegetables...not that I've tried any lately

I like eating chocolate, crisps, chicken & chips...any kind of junk food.

What's the recommended amount of water you should drink, isn't it something like 6 glasses?

I drink one glass water for lunch and one glass water for dinner...I like drinking fizzy drink though.

It may seem like I weigh a ton with the kind of food I eat but I'm actually thin (not skinny)

you probably have a high metabolism some people are like that.
Wow you eat a lot of junk food bro, i bet you eat loads of takeaways.
You should try eating fruit and vegetable they taste great and are vital for your body. eating all that junk food is gonna mess youre kidneys and bowels up bro, trust me.

Fizzy drinks are really really bad theres like over 10 tablespoons of shuger in each cup of coke.

I love food…I love chicken, all types of fruit and most vegetables. I’m not crazy about fizzy drinks and don’t eat chocolate regularly. I love eating out but strongly dislike greasy cheap take always cos I hate food that is greasy…

I love spicy food-I’m a reg at Nando’s…fruit salad is amongst my fav dishes (fruit with chart masala)…Indian food is def the best…I like Chinese and Portuguese food too, Arab food is not spicy enough for my liking.

Sadly my love of food hasn’t increased my desire to brush up on my culinary skills…

I do make a point of drinking 6-7 glasses of water a day. I’m not sure how the “you are what you eat” philosophy applies to me, as I eat almost everything. My diet is rich in carbs and protein.

wow that is like music to my ears you are a good eater, i like you're eating habits. I hate greasy food too and takeaway and fizzy drinks.

You like veg and fruit and chicken are you sure you not my long lost twin sister lol.

On this note i would like to ask you people what you like to eat? What do you tend to eat or drink the most? What can't you resist when you see on a plate starring at you screaming "eat me eat me".
What's you're favourite, Indian dish, Italian dish, Chinese dish, fruit, veg, drink, snack etc.

Personally i love brown rice, tuna fish, fish of any sort (lol no im not Bengali), Tandoori Chicken, Chicken Karahi. I also love vegetables like carrots, peppers, tomatoes, radish and fruit like bananna, apples, mangoes, water melons, lychees etc

So what about you guys?

I pretty much love everything and rotate my favorite food... last week I would have said Fakhitha Bel Laban this week sushi

hmmm sounds good, good to have a variety i ecspecially love fruit cake lol

The food I like depends on my mood.

If i feel happy and healthy then I eat loads of fruit and drink loads of water and if i feel depressed then I have fatty food, choc's crisps, cake etc

Overall I aint really very experimentative (that a word?) with food, I avoid tasting new things in fear that I will hate it.

yeah how come people do that if they feel down they wanna eat chocolate and fatty stuff and if people are in a good mood they are more health concious.

I like experimenting with food, but only healthy food you know what i mean

Isn't it obvious? When you feel good about yourself you wana keep it up by eating healthy food but when your mood is down u couldn't care less hence eat junk food...i was pretty good 2 months ago, eating proper healthy dunno what happened now.

its hard to keep it up angel

ive stopped all the bad stuff, i use to crave for fizzy drinks ecspecially coke, i'd wake up half way through the night gagging for a hit of coke and i'd go downstairs half asleep like i was sleep walking and go and drink some, what the heck that was addiction and a half.

Hehe that reminds me, I keep fizzy drink in my room so I don't need to walk downstairs. Prefer dr pepper to coke though coz it tastes sweeter (maybe it's coz there's more sugar in it.)

ooh yeah dr pepper i use to love that i use to love original lucozade and iron brew i use to like lilt until one summer i oh deed on it.

lol i aint that bad esp. not with fizzy drinks (ok irn bru being an exception)...fizzy drinks are baaad, i prefer water or orange juice but with takeaways fizzy drinks taste the best....

My choc. addiction is crazy though, proly calmed down more so now, before i use to have 2 choc's a day!

Doctor Pepper stinks eugh!!

EDIT

yeah if you have fried food like chips you wanna drink fizzy drinks and lol what about when yoy eat something really hot like chillies and drink coke over it oooh weee lol.

ive never liked chocolate im into my savoury stuff like crisp

"Angel" wrote:

Yeah spicy and fizzy drinks dont go in the sense they dont help in removing the burning spicy flavour on your tongue... but damn it tastes good

Crips hmm i love squares/frisps/walkers - salt and vinegar

I also love skips!! (plus they have less calories )

M bro i meant the taste stinks, dunno if it actually stinks cant rember....

EDIT

I actually use to love eating really spicy food and then gulping a can of coke down straight after. That feeling you get i loved it.

If you drink milk after really spicy food that helps to get rid of that burning feeling.

I love wotsits crisp but the smell makes me wanna puke, it reminds me of summat.

you cant beat a nice big plate of chaval(brown rice) and kebabs on the side

asain food is da best but unfortunately its also the most unhealthiest :?

btw alisha whats hoummas and nan :?:

yeah i love brown rice and kebabs, i think hummas is a thick Middle Eastern puree made up of mashed chickpeas seasoned with tahini (sesame paste), garlic. lemon juice, and other varying spices. Its a great dip and sandwich spread mmmmmm :idea:

haven't we done this topic before? I can't start talking about food again i'll be here forever remember last time i came out with the list of fruits i like looool.

I like trying all sorts of cuisine, but my favourite will always be what my mama cooked-Indian. Right now I like the simplicity of Arabic dishes simple spit roast chicken with flat bread and a bit of relish.

Fish..well im bengali need you ask

I used to love eating out but i'm a freak about germs so i tend to avoid that, prefer home cooked dishes all the way.

P.S asian food isn't the unhealthiest. Actually if made properly it can be the most nutritional and balanced food around. It's like that with any food. Major killer in asian food cut out the ghee use oil. Easy with the salt and spices asians go ott. Make sure you have a bowl of crispy salad, mushy veg in a pot doesn't count-enjoy.

Yes asians tend to go awol with the spices, salt, ghee and suger.
I was making tea one day and there was some dude there who had just recently migrated from Pakistan.
I asked him how much suger he wanted in his tea and he replied to me by asking for 5 teaspoons of suger.
I started laughing and thought what a funny guy and said to him "you are joking". His reply was "oh yaar whats the point of drinking tea without suger". I thought to myself there is a limit dude.

Asians love their suger thats why alot of them get food related illness's later on in life, they love it a bit too much. You have natural sugers and salts within food so i don't see the need of adding more on top.

get my drift.

Alhamdulilah you have a good diet- I’am Bengali and will have 4 different fish dishes everyday to select from!

I try to emulate the diet of the Prophet (saw), water, dates and nectar etc…......

I also like Caribbean food because many dishes consist of fish.

Bro i love fish after chicken its my next favourite meat. The best thing about fish is apart from it being virtually fat free, full of protein, so many varities and tasting great is that its all halal coz its from the sea.

What kind of fish do you eat? Ive only tried a few like Salmon, Tuna, Cod, Prawns. Sometimes my mum makes fish curry man its so delicious.

I also warm a cup of water up and put a few drops of fresh lemon juice it helps to clean youre digestive system and makes you feel good. i also take one teaspoon of Black seed oil, The blessed oil, cures everything but death.
