If I eat an ice-cream everyday, but stay under the calorie limit, will it still work?

    It's hard to rebut an opinion. That's why everyone keeps asking you for evidence to support what you're saying. If your support is "that's just my opinion" or "common sense," that's fine, I suppose, but those are rather unpersuasive justifications as compared to using actual science.

    Evidence, I just guess I go off of what I believe and that is eating healthy is good...I mean I have seen studies on how your body doesnt process sugar well when in high quantities and rises your insulin turning it into fat. I just thought that was the case. I must be wrong and you are ALL right :smile:

    Yep, we are. Still waiting to hear about which toxins you speak of.

    And let's just be super duper clear. If you are eating at a caloric deficit, no matter what the makeup of your food is, your body will not permanently store calories as fat. That's the crux of how any and all weight loss programs work. If you eat a lot of sugar then your body may temporarily convert the sugar to fat, but if you are eating in a deficit...it'll need to use that fat storage to run your body. It's a simple equation that you keep wanting to make complicated.

    I also think it's sad that your head decides that ice cream is not healthy. Of course you already said that is mainly because you lack the skill of portion control. However that doesn't make it inherently unhealthy. I wonder how sad your food log must be.


    I like my food log lol I enjoy a lot of blueberries and grapefruit actually lol. The toxins I'm thinking of uhhhh lets see palm oil, soybeanoil, all the dyes especially yellow. This is just a few, I never said no to icecream lol just not everyday. Equation? why not just eat healthy isnt that easier than trying to make food fun or make you happy.

    you don't like fun or happiness? i hope you don't have that on your Tinder profile.

    do i know what toxin means? Well for myself its anything not natural in food. The long term effect on most ingredients havent been shown yet but you will be warned about caramel coloring and yellow dyes causing cancer. Is that not toxic?

    Technically, all veggies and fruits are toxic.

    You may lose weight, but you will most likely not have a healthy body otherwise. While a caloric deficit will help you shed pounds, you also need to maintain a healthy balance of nutrients to keep your heart and other muscles functioning properly.
    Why, exactly, does having ice cream most likely mean you won't maintain a healthy balance of nutrients?

    From the USDA:
    http://www.choosemyplate.gov/weight-management-calories/weight-management/better-choices/fewer-calories.html

    Regardless of your weight status, empty calories should not be a major part of the diet. For most people, no more than 15% of calories should come from solid fats and added sugars. However, about 35% of the calories Americans typically eat and drink are empty calories. This means that many people choose foods and drinks with TOO MUCH solid fats and added sugars.

    Sure you can eat a reasonable amount of ice cream, chips, cookies, etc. But someone trying to lose weight would be best served making sure they know what a serving size is and stay within the 15% suggested for health reasons.

    I'm fairly sure there is not a single person on this planet for whom 1 ice cream would consist more than 15% of total calories.

    Serving size is 1/2 cup (65g) -> 135 calories, which would be 15% of 135/.15 -> 900 calories.

    Not that anybody eats that serving size...scale as per personal circumstances...

    Well, if someone doesn't eat only the serving size that's up to them.
    Also I've got some popsicles and creamsicles over here that are less than 100 calories per piece too, and one of those is perfectly fine (for me at least.)

    NO NO and NO. Sugar raises insulin, so it makes your body store fat. EAT HEALTHY don't try and cheat it. Or you'll suffer in life

    And then you do something like breathe or have your heart beat or wash the dishes... and you burn fat. If you're in a caloric deficit, you burn more fat than you store and you lose weight.

    OR

    And then you do something like breathe or have your heart beat or wash the dishes... and you burn fat. If you're eating at maintenance, status quo is maintained.

    OR

    And then you do something like breathe or have your heart beat or wash the dishes... and you burn fat. If you're eating a caloric surplus, you store excess fat and gain weight.

    Honestly, the insulin fear mongering is ridiculous.

    I should quote my post about some other "insulin is ebil" post from another thread. I hope I didn't forget anything in that one or said something wrong.
    Carbohydrates aren't the only thing that makes you produce more insulin. Protein does too.
    All carbohydrates produce insulin, not only added sugars.
    They usually only consider a single food eaten in isolation. Eating whatever has the sugar in it together with other macros reduces the insulin response. And most foods aren't solely or even mostly made out of sugar.
    Insulin doesn't stop fat burning. Your body produces insulin when you've eaten something, when you've eaten something you have available calories, so obviously you aren't burning any bodyfat at that point. That's not insulin's fault and even if you ate only fat (which is the one thing you could eat that would not make you produce insulin), you'd gain fat if you ate too much of it and not burn any.
    Lastly, insulin is important for your body. Very important. It is not evil. You need insulin. It regulates the amount of glucose you have in your blood. Too high AND too low blood sugar both are not good for you.

    Would you start an insulin information thread? Because I am OVER the sugar and carbs are EBIL because INSULIN bs. It just keeps getting worse and worse.

    Every sugar thread that happens, this silly statement gets thrown in, and people are convinced the have problems when the don't because of it.

    I had ice cream yesterday a payday candy bar earlier in the week and a 20 oz bottle of coke on another day. I ended up under by caloric allowance by an average of 150 calories Mon-Sat and when I weighed myself today I had lost 3 pounds. So it is my understanding you can eat what you want as long as you maintain a caloric deficit.

    Maybe you could point out where anyone is recommending an unreasonable amount?

    Serving size is 1/2 cup (65g) -> 135 calories, which would be 15% of 135/.15 -> 900 calories.

    Not that anybody eats that serving size...scale as per personal circumstances...

    I eat 50 grams regularly. Silly calorie allowance that I have.

    Here's the kicker, I often have enough from exercise to have 100 g (that's a 1/2 cup of gelato, my preferred poison), but I'd rather spend the calories on extra oatmeal or veggies usually.

    It's hard to rebut an opinion. That's why everyone keeps asking you for evidence to support what you're saying. If your support is "that's just my opinion" or "common sense," that's fine, I suppose, but those are rather unpersuasive justifications as compared to using actual science.

    Evidence, I just guess I go off of what I believe and that is eating healthy is good...I mean I have seen studies on how your body doesnt process sugar well when in high quantities and rises your insulin turning it into fat. I just thought that was the case. I must be wrong and you are ALL right :smile:

    Yep, we are. Still waiting to hear about which toxins you speak of.

    And let's just be super duper clear. If you are eating at a caloric deficit, no matter what the makeup of your food is, your body will not permanently store calories as fat. That's the crux of how any and all weight loss programs work. If you eat a lot of sugar then your body may temporarily convert the sugar to fat, but if you are eating in a deficit...it'll need to use that fat storage to run your body. It's a simple equation that you keep wanting to make complicated.

    I also think it's sad that your head decides that ice cream is not healthy. Of course you already said that is mainly because you lack the skill of portion control. However that doesn't make it inherently unhealthy. I wonder how sad your food log must be.


    I like my food log lol I enjoy a lot of blueberries and grapefruit actually lol. The toxins I'm thinking of uhhhh lets see palm oil, soybeanoil, all the dyes especially yellow. This is just a few, I never said no to icecream lol just not everyday. Equation? why not just eat healthy isnt that easier than trying to make food fun or make you happy.

    Do you know what the word "toxin" means?

    do i know what toxin means? Well for myself its anything not natural in food. The long term effect on most ingredients havent been shown yet but you will be warned about caramel coloring and yellow dyes causing cancer. Is that not toxic?

    I thought red food dye was the toxic one. Dangnabit I can't keep up with what's going to kill me anymore.

    seriously? Kraft was banned from using yellow dye because it is cancer causing, also if you have kids have you not noticed them bouncing off the walls after eating food colored cereals etc. this is just my experience so if asked by someone I would say stay away from food coloring if you can. Thats all I'm saying.

    Yellow dye is not "cancer causing".

    In all seriousness, do you not know what any of these words actually mean?
