MFP Blog: Calorie Not a Calorie

The MFP blog is terrible. I am not sure why Lustig has been in every other post recently, but it's super annoying.
Did you see the "real food" challenge post? Lustig recommended that we not eat anything with a label. Which would eliminate the broccoli I had for dinner last night (I bought florets in a bag because I'm lazy).0 -
Best twisting of that Kirk meme I've ever seen. That blog is such a faffing joke that there are boundless evens that I just can't.
Lustig has become its darling of late, and frankly, it doesn't surprise given the Thumper mentality now guiding all forum posting.
Solid weight loss advice and real science? Not to be found on MFP. It's all feels and woo.

Eating a giant bag of frozen vegetables almost every work day has been one of the more useful things I've done in losing weight. I guess I was mistaken because they had Daily Chef stamped on them. Nuts, guess I'm still obese no matter what the scale tells me. And I'll get diabetes, even though I can get fasting insulin levels after eating ice cream.

I'm not joking when I say, half the time I read Lusting on MFP, that Kirk voice is actually how I'm reading it in my head.PeachyCarol wrote: »

Sorry to break it to you, but your body knows that food had a label and is unable to do anything with the calories except turn them to fat.0 -
Dumb, dumb, dumb.
A calorie is a calorie does NOT mean broccoli is spaghetti is chicken, no matter how much they may wish to misrepresent it as such. No one thinks foods don't differ in numerous respects.
I think MFP has some kind of financial deal with Lustig's group, which is making me question my relationship with MFP, as I think Lustig is a disreputable type who has caused people to be scared of fruit.0 -
I cringe pretty much every time I see any MFP blog post. I'm in no way surprised.
MFP blog is a total joke. Any time I see someone referencing it as a source, I facepalm so hard I break my nose.
I've become quite grotesque in the face as a result.0 -

Letting the Institute for Responsible Nutrition contribute blog entries when they are so full of crap only undermines any credibility MFP could ever have.0

but yeah, not a big success considering the numbers of MFP0 -
18K participants is kind of sad. Small compared just to the FB likes MFP has (~1.3M), but still sad that 18K people want to listen to Lustig use the term "real food".Gianfranco_R wrote: »Only the plus side, only ~4,000 views since August 28th.

I find that damn near 100% of MFP's featured blogs are either fluff or bullcrap. I got so sick of seeing them in my fb newsfeed (especially the same ones over and over and over) I "unliked" their page. I know. I'm such a passive-aggressive snot.0
