Clean Eating DOES make a difference

Congrats on your weight loss! You have done very well.

I'm all about giving credit where credit is due, and i would say that logging accurately is probably your reason for success over "clean eating"

To those who are wondering:

My typical day will look like this:

Breakfast:
Luna Protein bar
Apple

snack: avacado/ some other random veggies like cauliflower or broccoli steamed

Lunch: Spinach 2 cups with chicken breast hard boiled eggs (2) and olives

snack: pop chips all natural (my little cheat snack so I dont binge)

willpower

Dinner:
I cup of kale 1 cup of frozen blueberries 1 banana

snack: watermelon is good to much on because it is low low cal

I would starve...by the way luna protein bar and chips are processed. JUST saying, congrats either way but you really do seem to be barely eating your weight loss isnt from clean eating its from your HUGE deficit.

I thought MFP was a support group and most of what I have read on this post is criticism! I am disappointed! You know who you are!

what is QFT?? i keep seeing it. and i have no idea how to read it. whatever you are doing is working for you! your abdomen looks great!

QFT= Quite F*cking True

No, QFT means "quoted for truth." "Quite f'in true" is an incorrect backronym.

QFT.

I'd say the reason this worked is because you are on a VERY LOW CALORIE DIET. You aren't getting enough food at all....

A very low calorie diet is a specific thing. She is absolutely not on a VLCD.

"Quoted For Truth"

I used to think it meant "quit ****ing talking" lmfao

Clean eating?? Looking back in your diary several weeks definitely doesn't show clean eating!! I would say you did 50/50 on clean verses dirty foods. Your title on this post is inaccurate.

Great job on the weight loss by eating at a deficit and exercising.

after clean eating AND working out ...13lb loss

You look great so congrats to you.

Now, one a real note, I'm gonna say the fact that you ate what basically amounts to my dinner calorie wise and then worked out is why you lost weight. Eating less processed food may have made you feel fuller longer, which is why eating a cup of kale, berries, and a banana didn't drive you to drink but that doesn't make your method superior to my method of 1825 calories with the occasional slice of cake or pop tart or ice cream or Bacon Pretzel Burger or...

Oh, bacon pretzel burger.

Are we talking the New Pretzel burger @ Wendy's??? It is on my list to try this weekend.... Looks So Good!!! :drinker:

What is a pretzel burger? Does it go with the ice cream bagel? That just sounds wrong...

First: I am referring to the burger at Wendy's. It's a burger patty on a pretzel roll bun with your typical veggies (if you're down with that) cheese, and a sweet mustard sauce. It was amazeballs. Some things look good and don't live up to the hype but this! I ate that sucker and then curled up around my pillow and slept the sleep of the truly content. The bread was so nice; a nice crisp outside and then a chewy fluffy inside. So good.

Actually it does look good...I was imagining a big pretzel (hard or soft) on a burger with ketchup, cheese and pickles falling out everywhere...How many calories?

I wash all of the food that I can...

I still haven't figured out how to clean my macaroni and cheese though... that always ends badly.

Does this mean that I'm eating "mostly" clean?

:laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:

Again people, this isn't the place to go and nitpick her diary or how she lost her weight. She is trying to celebrate her success and it is very douchy to detract from that and try to call her out.

Who knew Sun Chips and Cheetos and Luna bars were "clean"?

This is not the place to debate Clean vs IIFYM. Time and place, people.


Congratulations on your outstanding achievement!

QFT. I mean, really? Who cares if she has the lingo right or wrong? Even if she was eating 100 % "clean" every single IIFYMer would make her define "clean" and start throwing articles on chemicals around and telling her to wash her food. There's no winning unless you make a post saying "I ate poptarts all day everyday and lost weight. yahoo!"

Um I guess it can go with an ice cream bagel.... but here's a pic.....

Looks good, although I don't like bacon on a burger--I can only taste the bacon...I'll have to check the calories though...
