Steve’s favorite foods that probably didn’t contribute to his health:
1.Any meaty, salty, greasy mess of a pizza. The king of kings? The Pizza Hut pepperoni lovers.
2. Lots of fast food burgers. I especially liked the Wendy’s Baconator.
3. Fried chicken; sadly I didn’t get that as much as I wanted to.
4. Candy. Reeces PB Cups, Butterfingers, Twix, Crunch, ohh the list goes on. I’ve eaten meals of candy.
5. And chips. Utz smokin sweets, Cheetos, spicy nacho Doritos, to name a few. I’ve definitely made a meal of s bag of chips. In fact, I recall making trades in middle school: crappy lunchable that my parents packed me for a small bag of Doritos or some such.
I had to give up...
Soda. My college roomate and bandmate (he was a guitarist) lived on Coke. I can't even quatify at this point the amount of that cr@p we swilled.
Pizza. I worked for a couple pizza kitchens in school. Domino and a local shop. Needless to say, with those pills in me... Coke and Pizza were about 9/10 of my intake.
Hostess had been a long time friend. And little debbie, that b!tch-slut mistress of a trailer-park meth-ho you just can't push away. My weakness was cupcakes... especially the baseball ones. Did you know the cupcakes at least used to have pork gelatin in them? Truth.
I had a bad candy habit, too. Nothing a snickers couldn't fix.
Burgers. Those may still be a problem, but not fast food.
I did Atkins for a little bit. Fringe style, not hardcore. It was the focus on eliminating bad carbs and getting more protein and good plant matter into my body that helped me get started.
Now I'm a little more of a Paleo-Keto approach. Do not leave me alone with a rack of well cooked Ribs or a Rib-eye Steak. I pound that and a salad of Arugula and Avocado then go swim 2 miles!
*sighs
In retrospect, I can't believe the sh!t I ate.
Now, my biggest problem is beer. The Water of the Gods!
