>>I just simply couldn't stay long on it, and I'm not overweight (though I may look so :) - I still have just 3kg more than I had 30 years ago.

>There you go again and make me miserable... now I have to drink a few beers before I can enjoy the food and drink slated for this evening. I'll have to type again in the morning to work it off!

Not an advice - because it may not work for anyone else - but I've found I can enjoy both food and drink and... what was the third thing? Ah, coffee, yes, enjoy them in their beauty and diversity, but not necessarily quantity. Eat little, eat the best. Same goes for drinks - I can skip weeks or months without, but when I do, it must be good.

Now I don't live up to my standards with coffee - any coffee that's good enough will do, just as long as there's an endless flow of it. "Endless" means I make two mugs of coffee a day (instant, milk, no sugar), but they are 0.65 liters or four hours each :).
