Worlds Easiest Diet II

Following up on the first part it is obvious to me , but not said anywhere by anyone that during our growing years, we are more active, eat at regular times, and by growing use up more calories each day. It stands to reason once you have stopped growing the same input will not all be required so extra weight will follow. Often referred to as "filling out". Also you hear people talk about adult size meals. This is bollocks. If you are not growing, and not running around like a kid anymore why do you need to fill your plate with twice as much as a teenage kid? This is where social excuses for over eating start. Don't listen. I am often told I should eat more .......... why? I am 6 foot tall, slim, and reasonably fit. Most friends my age are fat, have protruding stomachs, and are very sedentary and unfit. I can still do 30 push up's, stand on my head, and run with others less than half my age.
If you are sitting in an office all day you won't burn many calories so don't eat them ....... If you are outdoors and active eat as much as you need to function. My distant relative Sir Stanton Hicks was a well known nutritionist and writer and wrote about simple diets of the basic food groups. Don't complicate your life by doing anything more. Eat to function ..... don't function to Eat!
