Apparantly we are doing it wrong - MFP numbers

While a nice marketing piece - what it fails to show is weight loss relative to energy expended and caloric deprivation.
Saying MFP'ers eat "this way" - on average fails to demonstrate that this approach is working for them. How many people join mfp, don't lose weight and/or quit logging.

How many eat this way, because we have been programmed by SAD to eat this way. All that processed food clearly is what makes the people in the general forums so angry at life ;)

    I just customize my macros because I've learned the hard way and had to take responsibility and educate myself on what works following Paleo. I'm not knocking the MFP database though, it is a useful tool if you use it the way that it wasn't intended.
