Rant about food.

What do you do to stay healthy. [Answers are allowed to simple, i prefer these].
Thing you eat, don't eat.
PS : I asked my doctor, what should i eat. She answered, what you like. This is in many cases what your body needs when your brain is working perfectly.
 
The big things for me are not buying any junkfood beyond what I'm OK eating. Not eating a 3rd meal unless I'm hungry for a 3rd meal and trying to make sure that I'm drinking primarily beverages without any sugar.

Nothing.
I eat what I like. For winter, I add an immune-boosting supplement, because my friend's daughter, a pharmacist, recommended it.

Last month, I had my first surgery, gallbladder removal due to gallstones. I've already eaten at McDonald's, Asian fast food, spaghetti bolognese, I drank few energy drinks, and I'm 100% fine.

You won't live forever, no matter what you (don't) eat.

Regularly eat vegetables and fruit. Try to eat less saturated fat foods (cholesterol's too high, clogged arteries). Less junkfood (every once in a while is fine). Using way less sugar in my coffee/thee, I'm a bit of a sweet tooth, so going entirely sugar free is a step too far. Went from 4 1.5L bottles of Coca-Cola a week to only 1 (more water, less sugary drinks). Go to the gym 2-3 times a week.

Lost ~6kg since January last year, seems to be stabilizing now, not losing any more weight, may even be gaining a bit now (it's mainly muscle mass though, not fat).
 
As my grandfather said (he made it 101): a little bit of everything.
Basically don't over indulge in anything. You want cake? Have slice of cake not the whole thing.
Wine? have a glass, not a bottle.

When I was younger, we ate a lot of that. Always salads with dinner. Snacked on apples, grapes and oranges. Married a girl who didn't grow up that way and I have to fight to get those in the refrigerator. I've never seen the inside of a hospital till just five years ago when I had my gall bladder taken out. And that's a long, long time. I'm very, very healthy.
 
Keto :D

I can eat a whole sheet cake within a few days :p But that's what I like about Keto: with high-fat I eat less to feel satisfied, so a smaller almond flour/whipped cake stretches way longer than an average sheet cake with sugar. Sugar's a tasty hook :p

My great-grandfather sadly died at the age of 99-3/4. He had lived by himself (in a 5th floor apartment) for dozens of years. He liked to drink Schnapps (old German), smoke cigars, and play the guitar. And make dirty jokes. He hated most of the family, but for some reason he liked me (I was 6 or 7 years old at the time).

Then he fell down the staircase, and broke his arm. Nothing serious, just a cast. But because of his age, they put him in the hospital for a few days. Well, in the hospital you can't make dirty jokes, and touching the behinds of the nurses is discouraged. There is no Schnapps there, and you can't smoke cigars. He died within 3 days.

What do I eat? I have been mildly overweight for years (but in good shape, in the sense of doing lots of exercise). Recently, my blood sugar has gone out of control, so I was put on Ozempic, to get the sugar down. So now I eat very little. I try to focus on proteins and whole grains; being less hungry, it is easy to avoid carbohydrates like bread. Lots of fat from the cheeses I love to eat though. And no sodas, no sugar in my coffee, and few sweets (except dark chocolate and licorice).
