    haha Nope. Thought it's a learning curve for a lot of people - how to eat right.

    so everyone who is not eating "right" eats "wrong"....interesting...who defines right?

    She can't even answer my most basic of questions.

    How are we supposed to eat??

    I typically eat with a fork, spoon or fingers depending on what is appropriate per food choice? Am I missing something

    Chopsticks?

    and you need to EAT to be healthy. Just eat right.

    Eat right? What's that mean?


    Um... eat healthy? protein, fat, fruits veggies...


    Nothing to do with weight loss.

    Um... I can't even formulate a response to this.

    Why because it's true, you don't need to eat healthy to lose weight you need a deficit. Now I'm not saying there are not advantages to watching macros, but to lose weight it's all about the deficit.

    For the past 3 weeks due to surgery I am living on protein shakes and ice cream and I've lost 7 lbs do I recommend it no, but it all comes down to being in a deficit to lose weight.

    I interpreted it as an independent statement she was expressing, not necessarily saying that you had to "eat right" to lose weight.

    Considering some of the "I'm so hungry" posts where people were told to maybe forgo some of the cookies in exchange for a vegetable or two - I think there's "some" consensus on some of the things "eat right" might entail

    I'm glad you could interpret what she meant by "eat right" as it's too general of a term. Eating right for me is hitting my macros, what those 2 words mean to someone else who knows.

    The thread had nothing to do with I'm so hungry, this was I can't lose weight.

    Because there is NO response to this. A caloric deficit equals weight loss, regardless of how you get there.

    I'm sorry - I literally just woke up six minutes ago so I may be still foggy. You posted pics of your hubby and dog and answered questions on icecream and gelato but find it odd that someone might post a statement that deviates somewhat from the topic?

    It is your total calories intake that counts regardless of when in the day you have it.
    No point in going to bed with a growling tummy, that in itself is achieving nothing.

    Yes total calories count but studies have shown if you go to bed hungry, your body burns what's on you instead of what's in your stomach.

    Ok keep eating your McDonalds :)

    I eat McDonalds 4-5 times/week. As well as Pizza Hut, and a variety of other fast foods. Ice Cream every night. Little Debbies daily.

    Guess what, I still look better, and have better overall health markers then 90% of "healthy" eaters out there.



    How's this possible? Because a McDonalds burger, a bowl of ice cream, a slice of pizza, roughly accounts for 15-20% of my daily calories.

    Meaning 80-85% of my diet is whole, minimally processed foods and when all is partnered together, creates an OVERALL well balanced diet that is nutrient rich, to include covering my micronutrient bases, as well as macros.



    But, based on your responses (if you're still around), it's highly unlikley you're actually willing to learn, or (potentially) are incapable of comprehending anything other than your personal biases towards nutrition that are established VIA common dietary misconceptions you likely learned from 'Women's Health', or another form of social media that villifies foods without scientific basis.

    No they haven't.

    Please, prove me wrong and post even one VALID study (meaning void of bias & properly regulated) that shows any sort of evidence supporting this statement.


    ***BARE IN MIND***

    Posting a study means posting an actual study.

    Magzine or internet articles/write-ups are not studies.
