Did we agree yet that burgers can be enjoyed as part of a healthy weight loss plan? Or is that just too Pollyanna of me?
OP opted to have a burger. Whatever else happened here, there was a small victory.
Yay!!!!! Good for you OP
This all reminds me of a long time ago (in a galaxy far, far away) when I was a tubby teen (having quit ballet and just kept eating like I was doing classes 3 times a week). My mum was a WW leader, and our city had just started up a class just for teens. Now, this is way back when the system worked on set numbers of breads, protein, fats, fruit and vege a day (omg, macros, what a concept!!), with a small amount of spare kilojoules to 'spend' each week on whatever you liked. Our class was on a Friday evening. Soon as we had finished a few of us would head straight along the road to McDonalds
(to be fair, this was a major novelty for us, it had only just opened). Of course it didn't fit in the then rigidity of our plan, but we were all angelic for the rest of the week and dutifully lost weight. Thinking back, that little bit of 'naughtiness' (quote marks to show I don't actually think it was bad at all) is probably what kept us on the straight and narrow the rest of the time. 0 -

Here's what I've gotten so far, I think. Tell me if I've missed something:
1. The definition of the word "burger" is sacred
2. Hamburgers have calories
3. If you haven't burned off your breakfast before you eat lunch you'll get fat
4. Food has chemicals
5. 12 pages is my limit
I’d add that
6. Bacon burgers > burgers.
7. 2 patties > 1 patty
But that could be just me. I wholly approve of ceoverturf’s post.
Is that bacon on the burger or bacon in the burger?0 -
It's basically two threads as far as I can see.
About a guy who made a decision that makes me happy for him and, unexpectedly, another guy who made some decisions that make me very sad for him.
Wish the two would balance each other out but they don't.
Hey, we're all grown people, and as they say even the devil can't do to you as you can full well do to yourself. But I'm still sad...0 -

Why not both?

By then he will somehow have magically developed the ability to deal with hunger signals without having gone through any sort of effort or learning process.0 -

Tricky, you have to save enough bacon to put on it. Good when it works, but a rare occurrence.0 -

I guess I meant on the burger. I usually literally skip the cheese and add bacon. But now that you mention it, bacon everywhere would be great.

If you haven't tried it before, get thee to a food processor.0 -
Of course. Is it healthy to do every day? No. But there's nothing wrong with it once in a while. For pure weight loss purposes, your body doesn't know the difference between a salad and a cheeseburger.0

Certainly you can eat anything you want as long as it fits within your daily allowance. If I'm making burgers at home I will either get a whole wheat bun and only have half or use a sandwich slender to cut the calories a bit. Mustard, pickles, onions, tomatoes, and lettuce don't add a lot of calories and there are lower calorie cheeses as well. If you are eating out, you may have to watch the other things you are eating so you don't go over but it's certainly something you can have if you enjoy it.

Ok, what is between the bacon and the top bun?
Also, Twisted Root is awesome!!! Went there for my birthday last year because I was up visiting my brother for my birthday. I need to go visit my brother more...0 -

Alas...I'm ashamed to admit I don't know. It's just a random pic I found.
I like to imagine it's more bacon though. (in round form)0 -
Yes! But it turns into a downward spiral of bad eating so I gotta keep all that outta my system so I don't want want it.0

I would venture to guess it's fried onions maybe?
