Just don't eat

Not ever. Polish your stainless steel appliances and absorb nutrients from the reflected light.

I'm aware. And just the fact that nobody has ever managed to survive like this long term -- when investigated, famous cases turned out to be frauds -- doesn't mean YOU can't do it.

Believe in your shiny dreams, DCUM. Close the kitchen forever.

If OP seriously thinks people will end up in the ER because they ate bread and rice in this hot weather, she has some issues.

Mental illness and/or a grifter mentality sure help, too.

Tons of breads, starches, gluten heavy foods and they load on them. Not everyone of course but many do and then the same people seem to leave the place holding their belly with both hands massaging it gently like they carry a baby and they waddle outside the place into the heat. What is the next step I wonder.. ER?

Why it is not a common knowledge that in hot heat and humid foods to limit or avoid altogether for the time of the extreme heat are:
- starches.. rice.. potatoes..
- gluten .. pastas.. breads..
- salty foods
- salt
- meat
- spicy food

Feel free to add to the list and add foods that are good and light.

Have you met Mexico? Or any temperature-hot country?

Or India? Or SE Asia? Or parts of Africa?

I'm going to guess OP is white. Very white. Because they are clueless about the climates and cuisines of places that aren't European.

I'm guessing she's from an Eastern European country where women chain smoke, nibble on bland food, and drink vodka.

I couldn't tell you what other people eat at restaurants because I don't notice...or care...or judge.

Hey.. insult OP all you want, but I am pp from Yugoslavia and lived in Africa... I live off of spicy food, we eat hot peppers(not me allergic but everyone else), we don't drink no vodka, sljivovica and Irish Whiskey if we are being posh! My kids' first solid food was spicy chicken curry. I love, love as do my kids and dh spicy food, I add Tabasco and everything and my kids think Sriracha is ketchup!(ok, but jokes aside, people in Yugoslavia do eat spicy food more than other Eastern Europeans that I've met(so just speaking for those I know) and even in my country we are an anomaly, bland food sucks so, so much!)

[b]

You are the one who is insulting. I’m Eastern European and Yugoslavia isn't a country. The former Yugoslavia works, but don’t insult the rest of us easteen Europeans.

OK. Sorry, I am from former Yugoslavia, I was just joking. Do you eat spicy food in your country of origin? Do you forgive me?

[b]

Yes I do, and thank you so much for the apology. We may not agree on politics but we can all agree that op is definitely crazy. I love salt and spice and bread!

Thank you for forgiving me. Bread, right? I love bread, don't know what's with the bread police here? We ate it all the time and nobody was obese or even heavy.

We would go to the store every morning for fresh bread. I don’t understand the bread police! I think it’s because maybe we walk more? I love bread and will never give it up!

Are you trolls? Or are you truly aggressively trying to criticize Americans for overeating, not walking as much, being obese, etc.? And if you think so poorly of Americans, then how have you come to grips with the fact that you live in America and are likely now American (assuming you have citizenship)? Truly curious.

I don't know of you are having a heat stroke or what, but I am former Yugoslav pp and I am just politely reminiscing about our bread and foods. I love American food and most of the U.S. is not the UMC DC. I love the food here and the abundance and I am by no means aggressively criticizing American for overeating. All I wrote is I like spicy food and love bread and I did wonder what is with the bread police. If you follow any late night talk shows they make fund of bread police too, I am not sure why am I no allowed to make fun in a friendly jest of the bread police?

[b]

Croatian here- I love bread. In Croatia I was a size 2. I moved to America and I am now I size 12 - which is my fault. I credit the weight wait Tom driving and not walking, abundance of fast food, laziness and emotional eating missing home. Life is different in Europe (healthier) but it was MY choices which lead to my weight gain, I still love bread but don’t eat it in USA because you don’t have good bread. Flame away!

So. I love your burritos, though

I’m a breatharian, I do not require food. You should do the same.

You can eat whatever you want. Nobody is policing anyone. Free country. However those who cite the fact that people in hot climate countries like India or many African countries eat everything including spices and breads are fine are most likely right. They certainly are fine, how else would they survive the heat. The human body is a fine machine and is equipped in feature called 'adaptation".

However, surviving is one thing, life expectancy is another.
Just compare the two facts, since DCUM crowd loves facts and for a good reason. Here are two that invite a discussion.

Life expectancy in Greece (Mediterranean diet**):

**Mediterranean diet

he Mediterranean diet is a diet inspired by the eating habits of Greece, Italy, and Spain.[2][3] The principal aspects of this diet include proportionally high consumption of olive oil, legumes, unrefined cereals, fruits,[4] and vegetables, moderate to high consumption of fish, moderate consumption of dairy products (mostly as cheese and yogurt), moderate wine consumption, and low consumption of non-fish meat products.[5]


Health effects[edit]
A 2017 review found evidence that practice of a Mediterranean diet could lead to a decreased risk of cardiovascular diseases, overall cancer incidence, neurodegenerative diseases, diabetes, and early death.[7] A 2018 review showed that practice of the Mediterranean diet may improve overall health status, such as reduced risk of non-communicable diseases, reduced total costs of living, and reduced costs for national healthcare.[13] A 2016 review found similar weight loss as other diets.[14]

Wait -- are you thinking that the main reason people have longer life expectancy in Greece than in India (taken as a totality, including all the very poor rural areas and problems in the overpopulated poor areas of some cities) -- is because of bread and spices?

Really? That's all you can think of as pertinent differences?

PP, you're, um, randomly googling things and presenting them as facts for discussion. Your links are literally "google.com."

That's better than nothing, but it's not analysis. It's what a second grader does for a school report.

Correlation is not causation. The Indian government reports that the shorter life expectancy is lack of food and clean water, and poor medical care. The Mediterranean diet doesn't exactly address these concerns.
