Omnivorous, although I don't eat meat that much. I should probably become a vegetarian since eating meat is obviously ethically unjustifiable but I don't pretend to be particularly moral.

I eat meat, like my ancestors before me, and as the good lord intended. Vegetarianism/veganism is the worst thing white people have ever invented.

other:  paravorous.  (I don't eat beets or chocolate.  I'm okay with other things, including snails, broccoli, tripe, hard liquor, and amphibians.  Haven't tried insects yet, but I'm open to the idea.)

Light vegetarian. I will eat fish and seafood, but no red meat, no pork, etc. Don't even like it. I've drastically cut back on eggs and I consume soy or almond instead of dairy. I guess I'm close enough, so vegetarian. There's one medical doctor / physician in the family, and he's hardcore vegetarian. That's good enough for me, although I don't know that I'd give up fish.

It's ultimately about what you put in your body, which is to me the primary concern.

I just eat. I don't really categorise it into a 'style'.

I eat about the same way DemPGH does, other than being perhaps more comfortable with dairy.

Eating meat is perfectly healthy.  It doesn't cause high blood pressure or high LDL cholesterol.  That's sort of a myth based on the misconception that eating fat makes you fat.

Currently doing 1g protein, .4 g fat per lb of body weight. Shooting for about 500 calories below maintenance.  Its been a month- lost a lot of fat and kept strength up.  I eat a lot of meat to hit protein but cholesterol, blood pressure et al is impeccable.

My basic diet is a protein at every meal, a salad with dinner and no sweets, sugar, gluten, bread, pasta, rice or really any carbohydrate that is low in fiber.  Then on the weekends, I'll have one big meal where I eat whatever I want so I can get pizza, ice cream or the tasting menu at Jean Georges once in a while.

The AHA disagrees with you - decidedly.

That eating fats does not make you fat is kind of funny, actually. The question is whether or not the fat in question is a 'good' fat. An avocado is a good fat. A banana is a good fat. A jelly doughnut is not. A porterhouse is not. They'll all make you fat, but the first two won't give you a stroke.

And for goodness sakes, drop the pizza and ice cream. Tongue

...And a report came out today showing that saturated fat did not have a definitive effect on heart disease or stroke.

The real problem is that Americans eat too much of everything, dont exercise enough and eat too much processed food.

As pointed out above, every year more data comes out disproving the lipid hypothesis when it comes to heart disease.  I think the more recent data shows that many types of vegetable fats are way worse than animal fats.  For example, lard and clarified butter are way healthier than something like corn oil or rapeseed oil.

But, I think the larger point is that your body and your blood work demonstrate if you're healthy or not.  If your diet is giving you bad results and you're fat, it's unhealthy.  Personally, I eat lots of meat and I have perfect blood work and a 30 inch waist.  I'm pretty sure I'm healthy.
