Overeating link to fatty liver...watch out for buffets and unhealthy meals.

Thanks foreigner when we do a buffet lunch we have almost no dinner to compensate.

...watch out for buffets and unhealthy meals.

I wonder what 24 small oysters, 22 king prawns, 8 mussels, 4 scallops, 2 Balmain bugs, 5-6 slices of smoked salmon, some chicken, pork and beef followed by 3-4 desserts and 12 scoops of ice cream has done for my liver. :shock:

Not feeling well this morning. I blame the $79 price tag of the buffet....

Topical article on eating healthy meals at restaurants

With Pret A Manger and a Ruth's Chris across the street in London and then Marina del Rey that works. Then I had not realized Bud light was so low in calories. You could do two or three and get to walk home before the alcohol absorbs.
Thanks for that article Foreigner. I might try the filet at Goodman in London seeing it is the leanest steak.

But doesn't food have no calories if eaten standing up?

Now that would be a way to cope with gluttony. Stand up and only eat broken chocolate cookies and wash them down with Bud Light in the larger glass.
Climbing up and down the stairs to get on and off the London tube sure seems to burn up a calorie or two.

Humour can be healing, right doc?

Pret is my favourite when travelling to UK, US (East coast) and HKG.

We went to see The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night Time in London. Nominated for a Tony Award and an excellent and challenging subject.

That you decided to count everything suggests a target or challenge involved here

Watch your back as you get older.

Your spine seems it is designed to fail.

I try correct posture to maintain back health. Never lift a heavy bag across your body from the passenger seat. Go a firm mattress...I use firm latex.
I hurt my back surfing and then later unloading 40 foot containers. Nothing much else in the last 10 years.
I use Samsonite luggage that rolls beautifully on its four roller wheels at the touch of a finger.
I have back exercises that help and use a bit of Biofreeze from time to time.
