A diet (the food you eat) is not the entirety of the way one lives one's life (a lifestyle).0

"clean eating"
"sugar is bad"
"1200 calories"
"muscle weighs more then fat"
Muscle does weigh more than fat as surely as water weighs more than oil and a dog turd weighs more than a piece of paper.
And sugar is bad when over indulged in and most people on this website have over indulged in sugar and lack control over their consumption. That's why we say its bad. Its a minority of people here who have good control over their appetites and their consumption of sweet foods.

correction lifestyle choice. My point was there is nothign wrong with the word diet. What's wrong is the hangups people have over the word.0
-
"foods and drinks that boost metabolism"
"crash diets"0 -
It's not hangups, it's that after a while, things like "journey" and "lifestyle" start to sound like bad writing cliches out of a Lifetime movie. This is just a fun bit of a rant thread from people who've heard it all before.0

I saw this commercial on late night TV...0

Some of us might be cyborgs actually.
Fun fact, did you know that any person with artificial parts is technically a cyborg (not saying they aren't still human. They are.)? So people with say, a pacemaker or a prosthetic eye or arm would be cyborgs. If I ever need something like that at least I will be able to take some solace in the fact that I'm now an awesome cyborg.
Though I suppose then we're both real women and real cyborgs.
WAIT, some people are real men...

Yuuup! And guess what? It all means the same thing as "diet". "Diet" - food you eat.
^ this
also second the comments on picking something I can do for the rest of my life. I never intended to be needing to lose 100 lbs for the rest of my life so I never saw why I should need to pick something I can do forever. Things are always changing.0 -

OH and the term "Belly fat". It gives me a weird image in my head. I know there is nothing wrong with it, it's far more accurate than "Stomach fat" or something... but it just seems so... disembodied.0

That's actually really funny. My sister has had a pacemaker since she was young (she's healthier than me otherwise) and we've always joked about her being battery operated.

I agree (to an extent) as well. You have to make some sustainable changes to both eating and activity. But the details (low carb, counting calories etc) don't need to be life long choices. The assumption is, of course, that "everything in moderation" is the best way to lose because you'll then just have a bit more of everything at maintenance.
Time will tell if that's actually going to work for folks in practice "forever".
My own diet has shifted as needed over the years.0 -

That's true. Though I feel like FUPA and belly fat aren't the same thing. Maybe it's just that I'm still a bit surprised that people are just learning that spot reduction isn't possible. It's like me saying I want to lose weight from a single boob.0 -
They aren't exactly the same thing, no. But FUPA leads to such a vivid image.....Sabine_Stroehm wrote: »

Yes, spot reducing belly fat seems a common (unachievable) goal. Belly fat being a common issue these days....0 -

"processed food"
If you mean food that you just picked from your garden, then OK you are not eating processed food. Otherwise if you mean food that has gone through a manufacturing process to make it shelf or freezer stable and is a complete meal or dish in and of itself I would like to see "convenience food" instead.0 -

Bwahahaha - communists in the funhouse... new favorite! Previous favorite? "Riding the cotton pony"... hehe0 -
