But diets are sooo wonderful! Like standards, so many to choose from!
But, to slightly modify a quote from a play by Botho Strauß:
The sheer number of different diets on the market are the proves that none of them is actually effective.

...I have a healthy diet. When I lived on my own my diet was awful! Fast food, microwave dinners and lots of "treats" (chocolate, crisps, etc.). Without her I'd be one fat bastard by now!

Not me. I am hoping the person who vote the first choice share his/her way of eating.

Err, Paul? There are lots of other fun things in life. Have you considered discovering girls?

I have discovered girls, even a few women. But much as life without women is intolerable so is life without good food and all too often "healthy" eating results in bland, unejoyable eating experiences.
There is fantastic healthy food out there, it is more the fault of health nuts imposing repressive lifestyles on people to meet unrealistic and unhappy life goals.
Bottom line for me is to enjoy what I eat. In the company of a good woman is even better, so long as she enjoys food too. No fun trying to enjoy a meal while your dinner partner picks over a lettuce leaf and blanches at your orders.

Maybe you just haven't tried good, healthy food? Eating healthy doesn't mean sacrificing taste.
Also, it's worth noting that your body gets used to what you put in it. So, the more you eat Broccoli (just an example) the more you acquire a taste for it.
Also, there's nothing wrong with being healthy and having the occasional "bad" meal. But, there's nothing fun about somebody being in poor overall health, it's sad really. And a poor diet is a quick way to get there.

Enjoy what you eat. My dad, overweight as he is, is a much happier person than many of his thin friends. My uncle is ultrafit, runs marathons, eats right etc. etc. and has had 2 heart attacks. My dad may die a bit earlier than some healthier people but he'll die happier.
Sure, you can combine health and happiness but it is not done by many.
And yes there are many unhappy, overweight people. Some of that lot are unhappy because they are made to feel ugly thanks to the media and money-making diet and body-image nazis.
I guess, as usual, moderation is key.
And that brocolli arguement is just terrible Jeremy! People can get used to eating maggots and horse manure too you know.

From Paul Watson:

You can combine overweight and happiness too, but not by many. In fact, I'd be willing to bet *most* overweight people either A: are unhappy or B: pretending to be happy.
From Paul Watson:

So, all health issues aside, would you marry an obese chick and be *completely* content with her weight? If not, then this is hypocritical.
From Paul Watson:

That's with everything. You can overdo exercise and cause problems (maybe the case with your uncle - who knows) or you can overdo laziness and cause problems.

Why? What makes an eating experience less enjoyable besides taste? If you talking about people, that's not the food's fault.

The question was about food, Paul, not marriage.
