The Margaritaville Diet!

northeasternparrothead · Post by **northeasternparrothead** » March 7, 2004 5:47 pm

so i was thinking....

with all these new diets coming out these days, atkins, south beach etc. and with jimmy being in as "good of shape" as he is for a 57 year old man....i think he should come out with a diet

i mean, who couldn't loose weight on cheeseburgers, draft beer, "french fried potatoes," gumbo, margarita's, corona, tequilla, shrimp, and doughnuts?

also read in APL@50, he just loves his snicker bars and peanutbutter crackers

one healthy guy

.......he also performs on stage, which is an active undertaking. Even though he doesn't have the liveliest dance moves, I guarantee you, he's working. Tom Jones used say he used to lose two pounds every performance.
I WISH I could live on shrimp and margaritas, and cheeseburgers, and Krispy Kremes.......sigh.......

I can eat anything and not gain weight. My normal trip to McDonald's consists of 2 Big Mac's and a supersize fry and coke. I weigh 157 lbs. and am 6'2. I do exercise a lot thought, bike everyday, mountain and road, so that's pure muscle baby... oh yeah!

I will need to back off eventually, because when I actually start to age my metabolism will slow down and I will gain weight. I ride with some guys in my group that are around 40, ride everyday but still have a gut on them. It's that flab that won't die!!!

Sounds like a great diet. I actually tried that last time I was in Key West. Margaritas, Beer and those smothies they sell on the beach, they are great just add alot of Parrot Bay. Drinking those all day and eating at every restaurant down there, I must have gained 15 pounds. My kind of diet. But be real if you think Jimmy does that every day, I tried it, my body hurt after 3 weeks of it.

now this is in a purely asexual way.....

but i lift weights, and i've noticed that in MM, and some pictures that it does appear that jimmy has quite muscular arms....probably from that all-too-common 12oz arm extension (aka drinking) but none the less....

thats my problem! I workout everyday, Eat more than any human being should and cant gain a pound. And I dont eat healthy either, if it doesn't turn a brown paper bag clear, I probably dont like it. I'm 6'4" 170 and it sucks... oh, and my whole family is short and fat

and yes i didnt gain weight when i wasnt lifting. Its causing problems too,since I've been with my girlfriend for the last two years, my eating habits have caused her to gain about 35 pounds! I dont mind but shes getting seriously depressed! she used to be thin! I dont know what to do cause if i start eating healthy, I think I'll waste away!

WAY TO GO BABY!!!!!!! Maybe get another girlfriend with a better metabolism???? (Just joking) I workout, swim, play golf, etc and eat more or less what I want and drink anything - it's the exercise that's the key - you don't lose weight - BUT - you don't gain either and that's what it's all about!!! My trainer says that with the amount of exercise I do I should be really thin - but it's lifestyle enjoyment that I'm all about!!
