    M2M, you are sounding quite sensitive tonight. Are you angry? And please don't call me Surely.

    Mama, where are your manners tonight?

    The truth is...

    ...calories taste good.

    At least if they're encased in chocolate.

    Am I the only one who likes grocery shopping while hungry? I wind up with the best treats that way to last me months!

    I'm a super focused shopper almost anywhere but a book store or record shop. I go in and go out when Christmas shopping and am much more that way when grocery shopping. I don't want to be wandering around deciding random things look good, but to buy the few things I came for, chip chop!

    I wander. I also wander around in general stores too... I'll riffle through the same section 5 times just in case I missed something cute LOL.

    I see some thread cleanup had taken place, ugh.

    And I could gladly clean up some more if you prefer? ;)


    Or should I just concentrate on the attacks and other direct violations?

    The problem is refined SUGARS! Cut the sugars right down, and you will use more body fat.

    Does anyone even really get offered cheesecake every day? I certainly don't. What is this magical fairy world where cheesecake is constantly before you?

    apparently the same world where you get unlimited oreos, cake, donut,s and ice cream offered to you as well…

    "junklandia"???

    You might want to read up on how those things work before posting.

    I was going to message the OP, but it looks like she has deactivated her account.

    This is not true. If it were true, for all the years that I refused to eat sugar because I thought it was bad, I would not have fat, or as fat as I was. ;)

    I am genuinely disturbed by how grossly misinterpreted this programme was by the OP.

    I've just finished watching it and its entire emphasis was on NOT cutting anything out. The programme was about the science behind what a calorie is, how the calorie is absorbed by the body, how you don't have to cut anything out to lose weight because CICO and how portion control plus little food swaps (eg: double cream instead of butter in mash) can save you calories.

    The presenter said on too many occasions to count that you don't have to eat just celery to lose weight. He was all about the chips, chocolate and cheesecake actually. His point was to understand how many calories your body needs, how many it burns and to eat less than maintenance calories to lose weight.

    How anyone reached the conclusion that it was about cutting out food items is beyond me.

    She didn't misinterpret or conclude any such thing:

    "Just wanted to share this great documentary I recently watched on bbciplayer as it has me motivated again. It's called "The Truth About Calories" and you can find it on bbciplayer."

    Oh dear what have I done? I was just referring to myself when it came to the chips, chocolate and cheesecake as I love them all and need a bit of motivation to eat less and found the programme motivational. As I said if you don't find this helpful to you am sure there is something out there that is. To each their own. :D

    Keep in mind this is MFP. We all have to be the same. There is a list of rules that you are to follow and if you don't you are wrong.

    Edit.

    Also, you will binge everyday for the rest of your life and gain 240 pounds if you cut the 'bad' foods out. So don't cut the 'bad' foods out.

    Because the beginning and end of the OP's post had nothing to do with the program. I only quoted the relevant bit.
