being a typical American mongrel, in this case of northern & southern European stock, I seem to be well blended... lol

my weight issues seem more from age related metabolic slowdown coupled with a way too sedentary lifestyle these days. Get me out of this d*mn cubicle! Retirement should correct that... or else leave me too broke to eat out... LOL.

I find that being an omnivour suits me just fine... lots of vegetables with pasta & meat. I can live on salads all summer with just the occasional gorging on meat. Soup is great all year round.

Winter is when it seems that eating & sleeping is the only way to go.. too dark & cold for much else. Wake me up when spring gets here...

I suspect that metabolic types do not match up well with the "modern" lifestyle... you call this living?... we are forced into to earn our "daily bread".
