I've heard it from enough people, that I want to try. I really think that just eating seafood will be good. I just have to watch how it's prepared. Sure, shrimp is good, but not really if it's battered and deep fried, cooked and served with gobs of butter, etc.

hush ... this thread has moved past you.

apparently sperm has 1.25 grams of protein per ejaculation, so there's that.

I don't think I'll be getting enough of that to sustain myself.

You will certainly get healthier if you give up meat but you might turn into a pussy so don't.

I'm Catholic and from New Orleans so all we really do is give up meat on Friday's during Lent season.

You will be a raving lunatic if you give up meat that whole time.

Maybe limit it to one meal a day or something.

Harvard study made big headlines earlier this year when the scientists found that potatoes – in any form – were linked to weight gain. Scientists tracked the diet and lifestyle choices of more than 120,000 participants for at least 12 years. They found that over four-year spans, those who ate an extra serving of French fries daily gained an average of 3.4 pounds, those who munched an extra serving of potato chips daily gained an average of 1.7 pounds, and an additional serving of potatoes prepared in any form was linked to an average of 1.3 pounds of extra padding. Hmmm, not so great news.

Potatoes convert to sugar.

Sugar produces insulin in your blood and screws up weight loss and metabolism.

I think I have that right.

potato = starch

starch doesn't convert as quickly as sugar, but its faster than a complex

We as Americans eat too much starch.

Potatoes, bread, pasta, etc.

Processed foods, not good.

But I love them all.

Some of the Europeans eat some of the fattiest food ever, (French) but don't gain weight because they don't eat the processed shit.

I don't think the common European diet contains Slim Jims, Bacon Flavored Crackers, Luncheon Meat, American Cheese, Tortilla Chips, yadda yadda yadda.

Eat fresh food everyday and you will be more satisfied and lose weight.

But we're Americans and with a McDonalds on every corner and a Starbucks it's almost impossible.

You mean eating french fries and chips and loading your baked potato with butter and sour cream causes people to gain weight? Shocking!

I'm not going to give up all meat, but maybe I'll try this too. For the next month, I'm going to give up antelope and yak meat.

Don't give up Alpaca during the time you're planning to visit Peru.
