Jam-Fly 8 Posted January 23, 2007 Share Posted January 23, 2007 I found it kinda funny how physchotic he got with the whole food situation.Alas, I know what it's like. When I played chess when I was younger, I went to Spain for a 2 week long tournament. Now that was bad food. No healthy food, no fried food, no nothing. I lived off hard bread rolls and yoghurt drinks.But my advice to DN, try not to think about it too much, it only makes it worse.GL Link to post Share on other sites
showstopper24 0 Posted January 23, 2007 Share Posted January 23, 2007 I kind of know what he is going through. When i was young, i was a very fussy eater. I didn't eat meat or anything healthy. It was just pasta and peanut butter sandwiches for me. On our school trips in middle school i was always scared i wouldn't find anything to eat. I would have to pack little packages of peanut butter in by suitcase so if there was bread, i would be able to make a sandwhich. Link to post Share on other sites

LouBlue 0 Posted January 24, 2007 Share Posted January 24, 2007 I guess one idea, given his resources, would have been to make a couple of calls in advance of his arrival, and have some place bring him some food that's more to his liking. ... Especially since he had already been there previously, and knew the food there wouldn't suit him. Link to post Share on other sites

The truth is that Tunica needs to get more healthy overall, not just in the week the WPT is there. Link to post Share on other sites
akoff 0 Posted January 24, 2007 Share Posted January 24, 2007 I still think it is mildly amusing that he has been there the last several years, knows the food isn’t what he is looking for but still does nothing to prepare!!Why would he be surprised by this?

This'll put you back in total control of your diet.Tunica's food sucks but your's doesn't have to Link to post Share on other sites
DanielNegreanu 141 Posted January 25, 2007 Share Posted January 25, 2007 I have done things to prepare. I brought soy milk, Oatmeal, miso soup, energy bars, etc. Thing is, I can't live on that alone and there are no grocery stores around here. I have a fridge at EVERY hotel I stay at.

sazqatch 0 Posted January 26, 2007 Share Posted January 26, 2007 Hey DN,I was a vegan for a number of years a while back. Man, it was worth it but was it hard. Almost never could I go out to eat in a restaurant. Most people do not realize that even your average bread crumbs off the shelf have whey in them.After four years my body yelled at me one time too often and I broke down and had some tuna. Six months later I was a full carnivore again. Ive been finding that the better I control my diet, the more focused I am at the tables. So, DN, all the power to you!-C Link to post Share on other sites

Derswick 0 Posted January 26, 2007 Share Posted January 26, 2007 I think he should starve during every tournement, has he not FT'd the last three trips there? Maybe there is something too it? I bet realestate is cheap there too. Hmmm. Link to post Share on other sites
grocery_mony 9 Posted January 27, 2007 Share Posted January 27, 2007 He should take his 500k and open a vegan/vegetarian restraunt in one of the casinos down there. No competition and the vegan/vegetarian food business has very good potential. Link to post Share on other sites
