Meat and sugar consumption are associated with bad health outcomes, but the data exist against a pervasive background of energy overload (kcal in > kcal out). Some experts suspect that’s the more basic problem.

I guess importance of nutrition/exercise for health is 95% nutrition/5% exercise. Who doesn't eat meat? I eat about once a week.
Is it a good bike?

I'm not a follower of Fixx. I seem to remember the book title and his premature death, but the link between what he was advocating and his premature death is at best tenuous.
I think the picture of the guy riding the bike is what needs to be deleted. That isn't too cool, especially when you have it there for no purpose other than to invite ridicule.
BTW, is the %% in all of your titles designed to get the search utility to throw an error?

Maybe it was the wooden stakes he ate that killed him. Or were they aluminum or steel?
Happy New Year to you all!
p.s. Just ribbing you on the misspelling. I find plenty in my posts and also miss a good many too!

Jim Fixx:
Lessons:
- family history of heart attack and premature death
- was morbidly obese and a sedentary smoker at age 35
- was probably an out-of-control diabetic
- did not have a healthful diet
- autopsy - 3 coronary arteries almost completely blocked with plaque
- dead at age 52
Lessons:
- unstable plaque in coronary arteries causes heart attack and death
- exercise does not prevent formation of plaque
- faulty diet is primary cause for plaque formation
- exercise can stabilize plaque and reduce risk of them from breaking off

Red meat is also pro-inflammatory, and high consumption has been linked to colon cancer.

Go find the book in your local library and read it, you'll probably find some of it to be enlightening if (as you say) you're trying to lose 20 lbs.

I am of the belief that alcohol helps to keep the arteries clear of plaque. I have nothing to base that on except that I like beer, heck, I'm having a 9.5% abv I brewed a couple of months ago right now. Yummy!

So it seems those lifestyle things may shrink plaque by reducing LDL in the blood, thus "sucking out" the cholesterol deposits inside the plaque.
