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
