(wrong usage of the Polish word--oszczedny), modest


Explanation:
Modest, perhaps, but this really does not mean anything in Polish--we can only guess what the person meant.

the "taking it easy" lifestyle


Explanation:
Fasting requires taking it easy and getting rest because you don’t eat enough calories to do all the activities you normally would - http://www.livestrong.com/article/549592-five-day-whey-prote...

----------

Perhaps you know someone who believes being physically active at an older age may be damaging to their health, and that they need to take it easy as they age. Truth be known, it is the taking it easy lifestyle that will kill us - http://www.laservices.ca/docs/media/Solutions_Article2.pdf - page 2

----------

I'm so good at just taking it easy and would much favour a low variance, taking it easy lifestyle over a work-hard, play-hard one -

---------

Glad to hear you are doing well. 4 more weeks recovery and enjoying this taking it easy lifestyle - http://www.hystersisters.com/vb2/showthread.php?t=429255&pag...
