Great article. I especially like the last line, "if there's one thing you need to cut from your diet, it's fear."

I'm actually surprised sugar didn't get a mention of the unnecessary focus du jour.

100 pounds down and i eat out (not often but occasionally), drink beer, eat pizza, and chocolate.

its all about making it fit within your goals.

food is food. none of it is inherently good or bad. (nutritionally sound is another story LOL)

Yup. Myself included. If I'd believed I could have my ramen and pop tarts and still lose weight, it wouldn't have taken me until my 30s to get my *kitten* together.

I've always been baffled by eating "clean". What is "clean"? There is no scientifically backed definition of "clean eating" so what is clean to one person is not clean to another.
