My So-Called Healthy Diet – Part One

Over my lifetime, I have changed my eating habits fairly dramatically on two occasions.  From my childhood until my early thirties, I ate what would likely be described as the Standard American Diet (SAD).  I often ate fast food, drank lots of sugary sodas, and snacked on supermarket junk food.  However, I was always the skinny kid.  When I reached my current height of 6’2” at age 16, I weighed 129 lbs.  It wasn’t until after college that I gained any meaningful amount of weight.  Even as an adult, the heaviest I have ever weighed was 186 lbs.
