Look what fast food & ice cream have done to my cholesterol

Onesnap

and I'll re-post this one since it was the best thing I read regarding this topic.

Why can some people eat fast food and never gain weight? Why can some people stay thin when all they do is go walking a few times/week and others have to hit the gym.

http://healthyliving.msn.com/diseases/heart-and-cardiovascular/can-you-be-thin-and-still-eat-junk-food-1

I also suggest watching the HBO series 'Weight of the Nation' that was really good and explained how someone who dieted has different daily calorie needs (less) than someone that has never dieted in the past. They showed two people: same age, same weight, both female. One that had NEVER dieted actually had higher calorie needs to maintain compared to the one that actually dieted in the past.

Great job. I'm not sure your diet and exercise plan would work for everyone but thank you for showing that it CAN work for some.

His plan and execution are great for heavy people trying to lose weight. Just look at his diary instead of reading his headlines, and replace "a lot" with "some" on his food references. It's a very disciplined plan with good macros, accompanied by regular exercise.

I'm interested to see if he can tighten the abs up on the reported 4k+ sodium/day.

I'm still stuck on waiting for the towel to drop.

Anyway..... You do look great and I'm glad you're able to eat what you want and still be healthy. I am not one of those people. I really wish I could eat out more often, but it just doesn't sit on me right. As with anything, there is a balance between "clean" foods and unclean foods. There isn't anything wrong with enjoying an ice cream when you want it....though not as many people are are as lucky as you are being able to eat it every day. Totally jealous.

There's no reason you couldn't eat ice cream every day, unless you'r diabetic or something. You weigh more than I do and you're about my age, so your BMR will be close to mine.

Well it is junk food in many cases. Fast food from a large corporation is junk. The majority of fast food chains support factory farming. The only one I can think of that does not is Chipotle.

Fast food from a small family owned restaurant that's supporting the local economy and the local food economy (see my Bob's Clam Hut example) is not actually junk food. It's fast food made with love, local ingredients, and cholesterol free oil.

An Applebee's microwaving my pasta is serving me junk food that arrives on a truck and is not actually cooked. It's just microwaved in a plastic bag. Not made with love. Not made by a 3rd generation business.

Not saying my way is better...but I sure am saying that when I'm at a picnic table enjoying my fried food takeout from a small family business that's fast food that sure as heck is delicious and supports a small business. My fast food is superior.

IHOP is not even a real breakfast out...I had a tasty homecooked breakfast for $8 this past weekend. Heck, they even made their own corned beef hash. Felt awesome and went for a walk on the beach afterwards. Cheap, homemade, and fast.

1. Love: Where does that fit into my macros? Cholesterol free oil: There's nothing wrong with dietary cholesterol (excepting special medical cases).

2. Since when do microwaves NOT cook food? And there's no love in microwave cooking?

3. No, you're saying your way is made with love and love is all you need. It doesn't matter if the nutritional content of my burger made at home with love is identical from the burger from McDonalds. Unless your love is adding a little extra protein? Your fast food is only superior within your mind.

4. If I'm ending my fast with food, it is a real breakfast no matter where I eat it, who made it or how much love they did or did not add while cooking it. If I ate it, it broke my fast and is thus a real breakfast. If you hadn't taken that walk on a beach but on a treadmill, would it then have not been a really walk? Because you know, that treadmill wasn't made with love.

I don't see Love in the MFP database. Too bad, my one and only rule for what I can and can't eat is: Can't eat it if I can't log it.

You guys are just talking silly talk.

I microwave my lunch daily. Of course it is just food.

And obviously the OP does not know it all because he said it's illegal to use antibiotics when raising commercial chicken. And it's not.

Walking on the treadmill or the beach is still walking.

You can't log "made with love" but I'm guessing my takeout has more "love" than yours.

I don't care if it has more love (dumbest food requirement ever when discussing food on a nutrition/fitness site). I only care about if it tastes better or not. If yours tastes better (according to my taste preferences and not yours), then I'll eat it. If it doesn't, I'll stick to my evil, corporate, soulless food.

Oh and the microwave comment, I didn't say you said it wasn't food any longer. You said it wasn't cooked by the microwave while in fact, microwaves most certainly do cook food.

And I never mentioned the OP. I was responding to you and your bizarre claims alone.

Not everyone can eat fast food every week. Some folks that REALLY have to watch their weight or are pre-diabetic as an example cannot eat fast food every week.

Please quit posting ridiculous lies in my success stories thread. At this point you are simply trolling and harassing.

Go start your own success story thread.

I'm not trolling. I'm only trying to help.

You're the one blowing things out of proportion. I just got a little up in your face about being so supportive of food produced by large corporations. If that's what you like, eat it. If your medical tests keep showing up well, eat it.

I like my food made with love. If it's a 3rd generation family cooking food for strangers (in a family owned restaurant) I'm happy to support them. It's just an expression. I'm sorry that you think I'm dumb or that my words are dumb.

If I make something for my parents (who live really far away) you can bet your bottom it's made with love.

I'm sorry if you think the expression is "dumb".

Great job. I'm not sure your diet and exercise plan would work for everyone but thank you for showing that it CAN work for some.

His plan and execution are great for heavy people trying to lose weight. Just look at his diary instead of reading his headlines, and replace "a lot" with "some" on his food references. It's a very disciplined plan with good macros, accompanied by regular exercise.

I'm interested to see if he can tighten the abs up on the reported 4k+ sodium/day.

The clean eating and new dieter crowd would consider ice cream every day "a lot." They would also consider fast food and IHOP 5+ times a week "a lot." I think, anyway.

You're on a crusade to argue against the way I describe my diet. My diary is open. Let other people decide for themselves whether fast food 5 times a week is "a lot" and whether ice cream 5-7 days a week is "a lot." We don't need you posting on every page that I don't eat "a lot" of fast food and ice cream.

This is completely, absolutely, 100% wrong.

Did you know it's illegal to use antibiotics and hormones on chickens and pigs?

You didn’t mention cows, interesting….

Literally the only ingredients in a McD's hamburger patty are ground beef, with salt and pepper added at the time of cooking.

Yes, ground beef with hormones and anti-biotics. Google CAFO.

Not once.

I do love fast food. I do love junk food. I don't know how many times I have to say it. When I'm traveling for work or on a road trip you can bet we try to get the most affordable "fast" food possible. Sometimes you have to get creative to avoid grabbing the first Burger King off the highway. Sometimes you have to whip out a Yelp app and find a little cafe or burger joint. Not once did I say it was wrong to buy fast food. There's types of fast food that are better than others--better made, better ingredients, made from scratch.

Sure, it's my idea of "better" but it's also common sense.

If you are stating that a burger from a chain (large multi national chain) tastes better than one from a small family place I'd have to say you had broken taste buds.
