Have fun eating all that meat.

The past 2 weeks I've eaten aprox 6000 Kcal daily.

I wonder what that makes me?

Well, rather fatty for starters I guess.

But 1.82 mtrs and 74 kilos should be alright.

Right?

I have no idea what's "normal" in kilos. I only know what I weigh in pounds. I actually don't really want to know.

2 Pounds is about 1 Kilo. So pounds divided by 2 is your
weight in kilos.

For health reasons you should have a maximum weight of
the centimeters you are above 1 meter covered by kilos.

So if your are

1 meter 83 centimeters you should weigh max 83 kilos

or

1 meter 67 centimeters you should weigh max 67 kilos

anything beyond that is already a health hazard. Fcuz
you should try and stay about 5-10 kilos beneath that
just to make sure.

I don't know how tall I am in meters.
I only know in feet and inches.


God, I'm being difficult today.

*Atkins diet.. . I'm a vegetarian, but not because of dietary reasons.*

Dont forget Dr. Atkins died not too long ago.

Right now I'm very sweet.

*Wow! Good job! *

The atkins diet is horrific. People lose weight on it, but start to gain it back eventually because it's not possible to stay on that diet long term. Your cholesterol will improve some to start with because you lose weight, and that alone improves your cholesterol, but long term that diet will kill you, due to cardiovascular disease and kidney failure. Sorry to be the bringer of bad news.

Revised food pyramid, based on actual science rather than USDA marketing or someone trying to sell a book:

Well, I'm doing pretty well except for that damned bright green triangle on the top, right-hand of the pyramid.

Sweets Rice pasta !
Oh, and the alcohol bit.

But that's OUTSIDE of the pyramid, so that must just be a bunch of bullshit.
