Celebrity Deaths
Quote: EvenBob
I don't want to lecture but you probably don't know what you're doing to yourself if you're 75 lb overweight. You don't feel it if you're in your 40s but you're literally killing yourself slowly. And it will pick up once you get to 50. One of the biggest things that morbid obesity does is it promotes inflammation and inflammation we now know causes a myriad of problems including heart disease and cancer.

Oh, I feel it. Poignantly.
On days when I fast, or eat modestly, I feel great. A little bit of exercise boosts it even more.
If I eat some junk food and some good stuff, I feel OK. Not super, just... OK.
If I overindulge on garbage, I feel like trash.
These aren't emotional feelings, just how I sense my body reacting.
Some of this is pushing me towards an OMAD/IF scheme, but that's really not compatible with the medication schedule.
Say what you want about carbohydrates, but a reasonable quality piece of fruit seems to enhance my "feeling good" for a few hours.

Here's an inspirational exercise video, from a celebrity who did not die, and seems like he never will.
Be the guy running down the street waving a pig! Ein Schweinschwenker!
Either it would be truly inspirational, or I might have a chance to keep up with the tempo.

I have been intermittently fasting for 8 years, my eating window is only 6 hours long. I fast 18 hours a day I don't even think about it because it's going on so long. For fruit I eat a tomato, an avocado, and blueberries every day. I eat a can of sardines everyday for the last 8 years. If I had a job like yours I would always have a dozen cans of sardines in the car and some kind of low-carb crackers. Sardines are extremely good for you, at the top of the superfood list. What you have to do is lose 25 or 30 lb and the way you feel will be so incredibly better that it will incentivize you to lose the rest of it. You'll look at the other life and go what was I doing to myself. A lot of the brain fog will be gone and you'll be able to see things clearly which believe me you're not doing right now. You're probably at about 80% or 85% and when you get to 95% you will be amazed. Plus you have kids, young kids, as a last resort realize they don't want you checking out in the next 20 years.

Sardines are hard for me. The ones I like come in a jar, which is good, because it's hard to eat more than a few - they're exquisitely rich and oily. . I don't need to be saline-comatose all afternoon.
It's a process. Drink a gallon of water a day, do a little more, eat a little less. Repeat ad nauseum.

Graham Greene just died at 73. He was probably best known for a major roll in Dances with Wolves. However, for me, I'll always remember him as Leonard from Northern Exposure. He was a shaman and mentor to Ed. He sometimes was at odds with Joel over their different approaches to medicine.

I enjoyed his work and his chameleon-like ability to play a variety of roles while always remaining himself.
I'd have guessed he was much older than 73.
Rest In Peace.

"If I knew I was going to live this long I would have taken better care of myself. That was one of the classic one-liners the late George Burns uttered as, in his mid-90s, he humorously chronicled the character-shaping chapters of his life." Staff Writer Portsmouth Herald

Yep, you got it. Mickey Mantle. Memory cells deteriorating…
A.I., which is never wrong, says:
The phrase "If I had known I'd live this long, I'd have taken better care of myself" is widely attributed to Mickey Mantle. This quote is often associated with Mantle's later years and reflections on the physical toll of his lifestyle.
Similar sentiments have been expressed by others, including George Burns. Burns was known for his humor about aging and longevity and had memorable lines about living a long life. However, the specific phrasing in the query is generally recognized as a Mickey Mantle quote.

Looks like we're all wrong. It's been attributed to George Burns and Mickey Mantle and a whole bunch of other people but here's the truth.
"The earliest close match located by QI appeared in a Minneapolis, Minnesota newspaper in September 1951. Seventy-year-old editorial columnist Billy Noonan attended a dinner with fellow journalists who praised him.
At the dinner many nice things were said about Billy and the hope was expressed that he would live forever.
Noonan responded: “If I had known I was going to live so long, I’d have taken better care of myself.”
Mark Volman was the lead singer of The Turtles in the 1960s, and had several minor hits. In the 970s, he was invited to join Frank Zappa and the Mothers of Invention but he was under contract to his old label. In a byzantine twist, Vollman invented a new identity as Flo, the leader of a two-man Jewish comedy rock band. Although his time with Zappa was short, he kept the Flo and Eddie name for the rest of his career, allowing him to sing the Turtles' music, which he had no rights to, as a cover band. Flo and Eddie went on to have careers playing in colleges and small venues. He was the backup vocalist on several hits, ranging from Bang A Gong to Springsteen's Hungry Heart. He also spent time as a DJ.
Tom Shipley was a 1960s folk singer who crossed over with the controversial hit "One Toke Over the Line." The legend says that he broke out this song when he was called out for an unexpected second encore at Carnegie Hall and played an unfinished version of this. It became a massive youth anthem and got Mr Shipley on President Nixon's enemies list.

Interesting. I just randomly was listening to The Long Way Home by Supertramp on September 8 despite me not listening to The Long Way Home in a long time! 😱😳💡🤔 I guess Rick Davies REALLY did literally take The Long Way Home on September 8, literally RIP to him! 😭
This is the THIRD time in recent years where I'll randomly listen to a song on or around the Singer/Musicians death after not listening to song in a long time prior! 😱😳 Around Ozzy Osbourne's death, I randomly listened to a Black Sabbath song and VERY soon after saw the news that Ozzy Osbourne had passed away! 😱😳 The third time isn't technically a Singer or a Musician, but it is song related. 💡 I randomly listened to Cheers,"Where Everybody Knows Your Name," theme song literally about two days before George Wendt's death! 😱😳 I hadn't listened to EKYK in YEARS before at that point before randomly listening to it! 😱😳
