Any people out there who still eat processed sandwich meat and yet STILL enjoy the benefits of lifting heavy and seeing amazing results? Just curious. Thanks
You've been a member for almost a year, and you ask this?
Did you just realize these forums exist?
I've only been here a couple of months, and recognize this as a troll post.
I'd like to believe that your conclusion is correct...
...oh how I wish it were true...
...but...
...I don't think it is.0 -

Calorie deficit, hitting macros no matter the level of processing the source goes through, accurate logging and patience would be a much better use of your time than reading half the garbage that body builders write on the internet.
I feel like I'm repeating myself.0 -
They can't put anything on the internet that isn't true.
And if it's on the Internet......What does processed food have to do with weight loss and good results!?!?!
Cutting out processed foods is a #1 reccommendation to obtaining a great body from heavy lifting so I read.........0 -
I agree with the others that state that you can lose weight eating processed meat, as long as you are at a caloric deficit. But with unprocessed meat readily available, why eat something that is processed?0

I eat processed foods but I wouldn't say I eat a grand amount of them. I think my journal is open, take a peek. Probably a bit more processed than I realized but meh. I just go for cals in/cals out and slow & steady

Nope, didn't see that one. Although a high quality protein powder is better than a cheap one....What does processed food have to do with weight loss and good results!?!?!

Lol, and I bet they also recommend heavily processed protein powders as well
I knew it. Elitism makes you thinner!0 -

It's readily available? Butchering is a process...0 -
You know, spam is actually pretty good. Fry up a couple slices and put it on a bagel with cheese and you have something special.
I haven't had it in quite awhile since my wife refuses to even try the stuff...but it was pretty much a staple in my family growing up. It's extra good fried up in a pan for breakfast when you're out in the woods camping.
Yes! That's actually the only time I eat spam: for breakfast while camping. Fried spam for breakfast when you just crawled out of a tent is glorious.

I'm confused. Are we on, "there's no such thing as a processed food", or "processed foods can be eaten as part of a good diet"? It seems to vary -- if there's a clean eating thread, it's "all foods are processed/there's no difference between 'natural' and 'processed". If there's a pop tarts and ice cream celebration thread, it's all, "yay! processed foods are delicious!"
I'm not sure which position I should attribute to people.
The point is that determining the nutrient quality of a food based on how it is treated is ridiculous. The nutrient value of a food isn't magically transformed because it has been prepared. There might be some nutrient loss when heat is applied in cooking, but that is generally an insignificant amount. An apple still has the same nutrients off the tree as it does baked in an applie pie. It's just that baking it into a pie also means it has been paired with other things like carbs and sugar. And for some reason, people think carbs and sugar are evil, but they only become evil when they are eaten in excess.
TL; DR - Don't eat the whole damn pie!
To be fair to the clean eating people, I don't think they'd disagree with you. In my experience, they have less of an issue with preparing any given single ingredient and more so with the stuff that gets added in when you industrialize food preparation, make it shelf stable, etc. Whether they're right or wrong, that seems to be the crux of their issue moreso than anything else.
In general, I think it's disingenuous on some threads to play the "all food is processed" game, and on other threads point out all the processed foods you (in general) like -- and amusing when the same foods are discussed on both.0 -
well, Jared did it, so......
The "chicken" at Subway is actually the remains of multiple varieties of meat scraps, bleached white and pressed into an adorable chicken filet shaped spongy mass - but in their defense, I suppose "fresh" is a relative term, in the context of fast food!0 -
Humorously, on the list of "processed" foods, Spam actually isn't very high. Anyone ever read the ingredients? Remarkably simple.
And spam musubi is fantastic.0 -
also heard we should limit fruits to produce better fitness results.0

:huh:0

I just eat soylent green. High in protein and really helps build muscle.
Processed lunch meat is horrible for you.I'll eat any meat I can get my lips around.
I love you people. You keep me from saying the first thing that pops to mind because I get distracted with laughter. :flowerforyou:0 -

I eat whatever I want. Just change the portion sizes from before and weigh everything so I can get an accurate calorie tally. I eat a combination of processed foods and "clean foods". It's called what I can do for the rest of my life. It may have made my weight loss slower, but I'm happy that I've reached my goal weight in less than 2 years.0

oh sure,,,0

I hear a lot of things too.
The (apparent) difference is, I know that most of what I hear should be completely ignored...
...and the rest, I test against what is known to be true.
Discernment is a remarkably valuable skill to have in this pursuit. I suggest that you practice it to better hone your ability to wield it.0 -

Chopping up veges is also a process, does that mean they are processed veges? :noway: Processed meat is preserved by smoking, curing or salting, or addition of chemical preservatives.0 -
The older you get, the less forgiving the body is of processed foods. If you are under 35 years, you can probably not worry too much about processed stuff. However, your results will be better if you eat whole foods. It all depends on whether you want to see results quickly or if you'd rather have some leeway in your eating.0
