I'll give you my unfiltered opinions.


8oz orange juice - too spikey. Cut back to 4oz.

Hamburger, chips, lemon pie - Sugarwise ok, but it is guaranteed to help the heart disease.

cheesy popcorn - dump the cheesy and make fresh popcorn. Add butter and salt. I try to avoid any processed foods.

Cap'n crunch cereal and milk - tastes great but is brutal on sugars. Very processed. Avoid processed.

Pretzels - At some point you'll want to watch your saltintake. Diabetes is a high risk factor for heart disease. High salt is throwing more gas on the fire.

5 starbursts - why? Yo weren't low. Bad habit.

cheese dip - see cheesy popcorn.


All in all it's a bad diet. Way too much processed food, no fiber, no fruits, and no veggies.
