This question is focused on food not drink so please do not bring up coffee, alcohol etc. :-)
Many of us had no problem with eating anything when we were younger. I remember consuming all sorts of different foods and only being constrained by what didn't taste good to me.
Later in life many of us have developed symptoms or conditions which required us to limit or exclude certain types of food.
Can you eat whatever you want or do you need to exclude certain foods from your diet?

I have to admit that some foods do make my trousers shrink, but no health effects related to food LTC Stephen F.

I chose other because I can eat whatever I want. But for some reason I am picky with what I eat and keep certain food groups in portions. Might be because I am still young and my metabolism is insanely fast. Might be because I'm very active and love staying active. Personal choice is to just stay healthy. I do have a cheat day with ice cream and cake once a week but I can eat anything. Personal preference is to keep in proportions though. Been in this diet for 4 years straight. A little bumps in between from slacking but majority of the 4 years has been strict or as I think I just grew into eating healthy. By the way I was a 119 lbs when I started this. After the first year and being deployed I continued to work out and came home from deployment at 162 lbs. about a year after I reached the highest weight at 175 lbs which was my goal. The last two years with just eating what I thought was healthy for me I pretty much fluctuated around 160-165 range. Of course I lost weight during stressful and depressing times but currently today I weigh 160 lbs. lastly I'm not looking forward to when my metabolism slows down.

I do have the end result of weight gain when I eat whatever I want.
