I totally agree with you. Fun is so overrated.
because dieting should be on par with being tortured during the Inquisition....
^^^^ You get it!
Gluttony is a sin, no?
So one must do penance.
(Since McD's and DD seem like the anti-fun to me, I guess I should go there.)
For the record, and because I may sound like a grouch, I'm not anti-donut. Someone in my office brought in donuts from Stan's this morning so I decided to eat half of one as my post-workout snack. I'm going to fit it in my calories. ;-)
Am I supported in this?
There are gluten free donuts. I just can't bring myself to try them. I think they'd be made of either lead or air and disappointment.
I have. Some are good, some are not. They are not as good as the gluten-filled kind, and they WAY more expensive. So kind of not worth it. The glazed kind, by Kinnickinnick (sp?) isn't bad, if you warm them up.
One of these days (when I'm healthy) I am going to hit the Kinnikinnick bakery and pick up some fresh cinnamon buns, donuts and cream puffs! If only it wasn't 30 minutes away, and I already spend so many hours a day driving...0 -

No wonder that fad has taken off
There was a website that actually had a typo where it said glutton free cookies but meant gluten free. I sent them in a message and said "I think you mean gluten free, but if you have a glutton free cookie recipe, I'd be very interested."
Haha! Sign me up, too!

Yes I count them...because science ...lol..cico. Its the way to go! Eat at a deficit- weight loss
Eat at a surplus,- weight gain
So yes calorie counting, using a food scale, logging accurately are very important to me

I have a photo on my phone of a pizza menu that got dropped in my mailbox which boasts "glutton free bases!". If MFP ever fixed the app so I could upload pics from my phone, I'd post it.0 -
I don't count mine. I just weigh them all in cups, most some of the time. When I feel like it. Because that's the most accurate way. I just don't understand why I am not losing weight because I know I am eating 1200 calories and I am never hungry so I think I need to eat more. It must be starvation mode.0

Yes I've heard that thoroughly cleaning foods will remove 30% of the calories. It also helps remove those toxins. ( don't ask me which toxins though because I can't answer that )0 -

I count calories and I did lose some weight, still figuring out how to loose it though.0

I thought cleaning foods removed 40% of the calories, so I guess my intake logging in my diary is underestimated again.....0 -

I only consume things that were available in my grandmother's time. My lard pudding is amazing and that Thalidomide I took this morning is very relaxing..0 -

I just wish I could still get Coca Cola with real cocaine in it. No wonder Gramma was such a blast at parties.0 -

You want to loose it? I want myself to get less loose.
Wait that sounds wrong.0 -

Starvation mode is a myth, much like CICO, IIFYM, LOTW and AFLAC (although I believe the duck is real). Also, the cake is a lie. You need to eat 42 small meals a day and eat them in accordance with the Fibonacci sequence. You may find this reference book helpful: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Da_Vinci_Code0 -

If the Fibonacci sequence is important, does that mean eating shellfish will always work out? They usually grow their shells in a Fibonacci sequence.0 -
Oops, lol, that should be LOTR. Can't even get my own jokes right.
Although your Fibonacci theory is sound, the sad fact is that shellfish are chock full of Freddie Mercury, and eating more than two to three servings a week could lead to a four-octave vocal range, which is a scary thought indeed.0 -
As someone who suffers from Higgs Boson Deficiency Syndrome (HBDS) which means the laws of gravity don't apply to me like all other mass in the universe, I find Freddie Mercury very helpful for having establish the alternative theory that fat bottom girls are responsible for the earth's rotation.LaceyBirds wrote: »Oops, lol, that should be LOTR.

Perhaps a few treatments in the Large Hadron Collider could help with that deficiency? It was a built-in remedy for Khrushchev and Kennedy.0

So is MFP attempting to disrupt the rotation of the earth with all this weight loss hullaballoo? I knew there was something insidious about this site!0
