You wanna die at 40, this is the way to go

If you want to die an early death, eat these in obscene quantities and see what happens:
  1. McDonald's French fries, KFC-fare
  2. Deep-fried foods, potato chips
  3. Margarine and other partially-hydrogenated oil spreads, butter
  4. High-fat cream, yogurt, ice cream, sour cream...dairy madness
  5. Plenty of fatty red meat
  6. Bakery goods (cakes, cookies...you name it!)
  7. Prepared foods, processed foods, canned foods, ready-to-eat foods
  8. Too many eggs (and egg yolks) though omega-3 enriched eggs are presumably okay in moderation
  9. Tropical oils: coconut, palm, etc
  10. Fish eggs in large quantities
  11. Pasta (too much!) with cream and loaded with sauces
  12. Squid, lobster, crab, shrimp (though it is debatable...some claim it contains HDL (good) cholesterol and even contains heart healthy omega-3 acids. Hmm.)

Habits: smoking, gaining too much weight - esp. along the midsection of one's stomach, little or no exercise

Okay so I don't want to live forever, but I want to live long enough to have kids and travel more and continue living life to its fullest! Old habits die hard...giving up my choco a day and cakes and parfaits and more...hmm, maybe I won't do it cold turkey. One day at a time, hmm.
