Define "healthy" food...

When you say "health markers", what, exactly do you mean?So you're telling me if someone wanted to gain weight they could eat at McDonald's every day and still be healthy? Wash down their grease infested fries down with coke and ice cream and still be healthy?? Sounds like a one way ticket to a heart attack. No sir, that's not healthy. Your diet does matter.
google the "twinkie diet"
guy ate nothing but twinkies maintained a calorie deficit, lost weight, and had better health markers..
so yea, you can eat mcdonalds and lose weight …however, it would not be best option for body comp purposes but for fat loss it would work.
I keep asking this, people keep not telling me, lol.
I assume you mean blood tests. Which tests, specifically, constitute "health markers"?

Yes. Just look at the ingredient list.
Where your nutrients, fat, carbs, etc. are coming from do matter.
oh really??? care to elaborate?
so if my macors are 35p/35c/30 fats and I hit them all with eggs, chicken, rice, bread, etc and then filled in rest of day with ice cream and some cookies, you are saying that is an unhealthy day just because I got 500 - 600 from ice cream and cookies...really?
As I said, look at the ingredients. That is, unless you're going with organic or natural. It's not necessarily the food itself that's the problem. Food colorings and artificial flavors? Preservatives and other chemicals they put in a lot of foods? No thank you.
First, all food has "chemicals" so unless you are drinking pure water you are ingesting *gasp* chemiclas.
That post you made actually made no sense. All you did was list ingredients in a pizza and pick what you thought was unhealthy. Which there was absolutely no reason why it would have been healthy.
Interesting, I wasn't aware that there was a rule on what belongs in a pizza.
There should be. Pepperoni - NO, pineapple - yes.
you're saying pepperoni doesn't belong on a pizza- but pineapple does?
At no point- outside of sauce- does fruit belong on a pizza.
Ever.
Yuck. no.
meat- cheese- sauce.
yes.
fruit? nope nope nope.
Pineapple and cream cheese pizza.
Pepperoni would be my second choice.
chicken, feta, pineapple, black olives, sliced tomato ….BOOM …
OMG, add banana peppers and I'm in love!0 -

Yes, it does,

But I do have a genuine interest.
Then why did you offer. Again, seems disingenuous.
Also...lulz at the google weak google it yourself ploy. You realize that people can see right through that right? Right?
If you were genuinely interested in anything, you would seek out knowledge on the subject and wouldn't even limit yourself to the Internet, much less a discussion board.
If you do not have enough interest to seek out information on your own, there really is no reason someone else to provide you with it.
If you want to learn, go learn. Nobody can stop you.
I am going to step out here and say,. She already knows and would like the other poster to elaborate.
If her interest is in mocking or insulting that poster, she doesn't need a link, lol.
just because you LOL something does not making it funny.
If you have some scholarly interest, go study the subject. Then you'll know whether or not she's right and won't have to ask People Who Google for information. No links will need to posted. No "My link is better than your link!", "Nuh-uh! My link is better than your link! It's Science!" conversation will need to take place.
The poster made a claim about a study linking sugar to heart disease. Some of us would like to see said study as we are curious if this is a study about obese people, average people, in shape people, study methods etc…
It is not our job to go find said study when the other person is making the assumption ..
here I will put five smile faces to make you feel better
and an LOL so you feel like we are laughing together…LOL
She already posted her ideas and her links and was mocked and insulted. If she feels no need to repeat the process, I don't blame her.
Whether she's right or wrong, she isn't deserving of being mocked or insulted.
ummm no that person posted a link to google, not a link to the specific study..
it has nothing to about saying "my study is better than yours", it is a genuine interest in the methods used and what the conclusion were. But you would not care about because you are too busy supporting the downtrodden of MFP 0 -

I even asked two people who practice medicine if they knew what people were referring to when they used the phrase. They did not. They understood "markers", but that isn't how the phrase is used here. They figured it was kind of what you said, "cholesterol and whatnot" and that it meant nothing.
Markers and bands and such are generally fairly specific. They have their own names, etc.
"Health markers" - I'm starting to think it really has no meaning at all, not even to the people who use it.
Maybe it's another thing that has no meaning and everyone gets to choose for themselves what it means. Like "healthy".0 -

There is no standard set measure of "health markers" but in general terms what might be included are
Blood pressure
BF%
urine albumin
LDL/HDL
fasting plasma glucose
A1c
HbA1c
CRP
and things like VO2 max, HR return to resting, etc...
Those used in a study are defined in a protocol - if your two friends are unable to at least mention three then they don't read many articles involving health markers. The term is used in the literature.0
