Unhealthiest food you eat on a daily basis?

[DanMart25]

Coke (not Diet Coke) and french fries; lots of them, daily.

I eat a breakfast burrito everyday at work. The nice thing is it gives me the runs about 2 hours after eating it.

I eat a phenomenal amount of chocolate, but it's when I really start hitting the Haagen-Dazs that I start gaining weight. I work out a lot, so it ends up being a constant battle...

Watch out the insuline...if you keep eating so much, you'll become a diabetic.

I've been doing it for at least 20 years. My guess is that if I was going to be a diabetic, I'd already be one by now.

Rum and Coke. I have probably 1-2 drinks more than I need. But it's sooooooo tasty, and helps me relax from work / traffic stress.

Daily alcohol, esp 1-2 more than you need? You're on the road to alcoholism.

I'm surprised no one has said soda yet. It may not have the calories as some other foods and dishes, but a large percentage of people can easily kill a 12pk a day every day. The calories and other crap in coke and pepsi have to add up.

Easy to quit soda if you stop buying several 12pks every time you go shopping. I have some mexican soda maybe twice a week.

Rarely do people ever think about how much soda they drink.

 

[KingGheedora]

My worst thing is a coke every day for lunch. Or a chocolate croissant for breakfast. Other than that I ate pizza almost every day either for lunch or dinner for the past few weeks.

Type 2/adult onset diabetes is more attributed to obesity then high intake of sugar. The sugar association is not definitively proven and a bit more over dramatized by media. Not to say it's not a risk. I think most people will tell you that too much sugar won't help you regardless, from added calories, unstable energy levels (sugar rush etc), and elevated sugar levels requiring your pancreas to produce more insulin. It's not hard to assume that an overworked pancreas is more prone to have problems later, hence the association with diabetes, but as of yet I don't think there are any conclusive studies. It's a bit difficult to do that type of long term study with a large sample.


I think everything in moderation is always a reasonable assumption for good health. Also, an assumption of "I've been doing this for xx years, so I should be fine" is not a good excuse to continue a bad habit or method. When it comes to your body and chronic abuse, it's may not be the first 20 years that will produce a result, its the next 20. Highest death rates from 20-40 are not disease, but accident and violence. From 50+ the numbers of disease caused deaths skyrocket. Heart disease and lung cancer are the 2 biggest killers BY FAR. Both are conditions that are primarily caused from bad habits done in the past 20-30 years. Both are reasonably preventable or greatly delayed from proper nutrition and exercise, ie better lifestyle habits.

I was going to say Southern Comfort, but somebody already mentioned whiskey.

Killians...draft.....chilled glass. Mmm, yummy.

Oh yeah......creatine and booze DONT mix. Learned that the hard way.

Mac -n- Cheese with an extra slice of cheese.

 

[Spamela]

nothing daily, but i get a fried fish burrito from a place near my house pretty regularly, though.

 

[SoulAssassin]

I would kill anyone on this planet for a bag of Snyders sourdough pretzels...the real thick ones. If I was stranded on a desert island that was also filled with a lifetime supply of these I wouldn't be trying to build a raft anytime soon.

 

[zebano]

daily.. nothing real bad, thats why I have a cheat day each week. Each day I probably have one thing I shouldn't. Today the fridge at work got set to maximum cold freezing my spinach salad which was then gooey when it un-thawed so I bought sesame chicken from the chinese place down the street.

 

[TecHNooB]

Oh god.. just picked up another one of those amazing ROAST BEEF sandwiches. Came with some kind of noodle salad that's loaded with the same stuff they put in the potato salad. Must resist..

I agree. However, everyone has a vice, and chocolate seems to be mine.

I'm age 39, 5'7" and 200lbs. However, I'm far from being obese (I'm more muscular), as I only have a 33" waist. Also, I don't smoke, and other than the chocolate, I tend to eat pretty well.

 

[KeypoX]

daily i eat something unhealthy it seems . Today brownies with ice cream which i make to often. Basically my weakness is chocolate and chocolate cookies.

 

[Delerious]

The sad thing I think about (I live in LA) is that just breathing the air is killing me slowly. I don't smoke, drink and I try to eat clean with minimal sugar, cholesterol and sodium. I do all that yet the water I drink is contaminated with prescription medications, the air is dense with pollution and smog and who knows what my cell phone and computer monitor are doing to me with their evil gamma rays

I lied last time. I realized that I drink a cup OJ about 3-4 days / week first thing in the morning.

 

[MegaVovaN]

What is OJ? Orange Juice? Why is it bad?

ergo, high calorie. Your body doesn't process calories from juices or pop the same as it does calories from milk or solids.

Of all the bad things one can eat, chocolate is not terrible, depending on what type. Dark chocolate in small amounts is showing evidence of positive health benefits. Milk chocolate usually has too much dairy/fats and sugar making them bad for you. Everything with food always depends on quantity though and consideration of so many other factors. Eating an oz of dark chocolate every other day is generally not considered unhealthy by any means I have seen. But, eating a bag of M&M's and a milky way every day is generally seen as unhealthy
