Was wondering how many folks here have specific dietary requirements, or who are vegetarian, vegan, or similar? Prompted by someone here (sorry forget who) saying their doc put an end to their daily fried breakfasts.
Does diet change as we get older? Should it? Should we expect to put a few kilos on as we age - or should the opposite be the case? We seem to get fatter in the West as we get older, but that doesn't seem to be the case in the Far East. (how much of this is down to genetics or diet?)
I've noticed a personal general trend towards losing weight, but I think that's due to a conscious decision on my part not to drink (almost ten years) and to avoid cheap calories - snacks etc. I've also noticed that my body temp feels a lot cooler than it was - this coincides with me knocking back the carbs in Jan '17. Prior to this I couldn't sit in the car unless the AC was set to 18c or lower, now I need it at 22c+.
Anyway, back to the main point of this thread, how many folks here follow a specific, permanent diet, either as a personal choice, or on the advice of his/her doctor?
Also interested in how many folks take supplements - vitamins, minerals, etc.
