A good buddy of mine is very overweight, eats like crap,(Steak cooked in a skillet full of butter) drinks like a fish, smokes like a freight train and says he feels good all the time. He's a heart attach waiting to happen. His Dad suffered the same fate at only 2 years older than he is today.
Balance and moderation is key. I choose for my diet to be largely made up of fruits, vegetables, raw nuts, cottage cheese, greek yogurt, whole grains, wild ocean fish, and chicken. However, I had steak in my bowl today and eat white rolls, etc.
In life, I like to take advice from people I would trade places with gladly. When it comes to health, I'm not going to listen to my afformentioned buddy.

No I never said to eat unlimited amounts of anything. I do like to give my opinions based on my research and what works for me. It's just my .02, it can be taken for what it's worth. I've found it to be good information even though it directly conflicts with the health 'establishment' talking points.
Saturated fat and cholesterol are in fact healthy. Please look into it. Talking about your diet, I would drop the 'whole grains' as much as possible. Cut back on any cheese if you eat alot of that. Try to get some organic plain white yogurt instead. Greek has too much sugar. And watch out for 'sugar free' or 'aspartame' in those yogurts. Eat that stuff and you'll be craving the grains. Toxins are the most addictive.
Steak is good, but should be eaten raw or at least medium. Farm fish is good, shell fish is great... avoid the tuna nowadays thanks to Fukashima. Add some organic pork too like bacon or pork chops.. always change it up with it comes to meats and fish and always go for true organic if possible. I really think you would benefit from raw milk from grass feed cows too. The enzymes and pro-biotics help regulate digestion too. If you're having problems with that, you stomach could need some extra help. Raw milk is good or fermented apple cider vinegar before a meal. Braggs is the best. You can buy it on Amazon or maybe at your local supermarket. I'm about to start on their amino product since most of us are not getting all the amino acids we need.
Your buddy sounds happy but being overweight is not healthy... it could catch up to him but some people can take are just plain immune. My wife NEVER gets a stinking cold!!! If she does its a runny nose for a whole day!
