1: Avoid sugary drinks, drink Tea or water instead.

2: Eat more vegetables, beans, and fruits than meat. If eating meat choose lean cuts. A slice of chicken about the size of a deck of cards usually contains as much protein as you'll need in a day.

3: Avoid foods that are empty carbs like potatoes. Also avoid most sauces and dips, Ketchup alone is filled with sugar.

4: Find a form of exercise that you enjoy. It can be something simple like walking or running (I chose Karate).

Also, I'd caution against going on diets just for the sake of loosing weight. Use the Body Mass Index scale to see what your BMI is. Remember that it doesn't account for weight from muscle, so it's possible to be considered obese despite being a wall of meat.

Can you post the save so I can try it out myself?

Everything is dying from a forgotten beast syndrome. Quarantine is in effect to prevent spreading to clean dwarves- they're sitting in a locked off area behind a drawbridge to keep out the sick. So far my entire first military squad has succumbed to a combination of the syndrome, which causes acute numbness at first, and goblin sieges. Perhaps they sent the FB to weaken my fort? Perhaps they heard of the illness and decided to attack in my moment of weakness? Perhaps one of my sick dwarves is going to pull the lever that causes seas of magma to pour out the volcano upon which my fort rests, wiping them out to the goblin?

Perhaps in a future update goblins will be capable of such thought.

I believe my copy of Dwarf Fortress is haunted or something. I've seen evidence of mass transportation before, large amounts of material- typically stone and blocks- show up in areas with no explanation. Numerous of my dwarves, including two of my legendary marksmen, have gone missing for no reason- their bodies completely unaccounted before.

Is this a recorded bug with a solution, or do I need to wait for the next update?

to Candy for sake of preserving spoilers.

But to answer your question; in my most successful fort I had over three-hundred at one time.

Adamantine is clearly listed on a number of in-game menus, so I don't see why the word needs to be put in spoilers. It's the associated risks that need spoiler tags.

That is true. My first trip to the circus was as enjoyable as it was angering.

As was mine. When I first started DF I had no idea such a substance existed until my miners ran into it. My three hundred wafers of candy were extracted and, being in no hurry, found several other veins to mine. I mined the first until I hit slade, then mined the second until I hit the clown car.

I scrambled my military, my modded in Giant Cave War Spiders holding the line admirably until my militia arrived. I managed to take down about half of them, then my line of spiders fell, then my military. I walled off the the first cavern from the second, vowing to return and kill them all in retaliation...

Now I want a good war. Does anyone know a few good mods that make combat more interesting? Could be adding new species or new intricacies, I'm in a mood.

Their military is equipped with obsolete cast-offs from the Soviet Era military. While North Korea is a bit odd, they know that trying to start a modern day war against South Korea or the US would end in their total destruction. They may be able to do some damage, especially if they shoot missiles at Seoul, but such a "victory" would be short lived. The United States have a type of tank that has never been destroyed in combat, carriers, drones, and jet planes out the wazoo, and a military more capable of rapid mobilization than any other force known today.  The North Koreans have a Special Forces unit that punches things, few of which are likely to be bullets or missiles(number four on the list).

Think of the situation as a staring contest between a benign psychopath and a rich government man. In any contest North Korea will lose, badly.

Personally I think it could have been better if the Groinsaws were Armpitsaws instead.
