I ate all the bad things I had rarely dared put in my mouth...pizza, cheeseburgers, ribs, cake, cookies, high calorie TV dinners, etc. Then about 3 months ago I had blood work done and my PCP said "your colesterol is high" and all of a sudden he's saying lay off the fat but my wife and everybody else is saying I'm still to thin. I still haven't figured out what to do to please everyone. It's hard gaing weight when I ride over 100 miles a week but I would rather cut my arm off than stop riding.
