What ingredients are bad?
Replies
-
For things I eat on a regular basis, I try to chose ones with natural ingredients where possible (so avoiding additives like artificial colours, flavours and preservatives) - it's just a personal thing, it probably has no effect on weight loss, but if my body doesn't need those things then I might as well go for the one with less ingredients, keep it simple. And it's not because I think they're "bad", I do eat things with additives but, just once in a while rather than all the time. Personal choice.0

Not sure what you're asking here. A good diet consisting of a calorie deficit and enough protein, combined with strength training, will make your fat melt away while retaining your lean mass. You will get a flat stomach if you get your body fat low.
Aspartame and HFCS and whatever other ingredients you think are bad or scary or whatever have nothing to do with it. Look at my diary. I'm bulking right now, but go back to the period between February and august to see how I eat while cutting. Plenty of fast food and ice cream, and plenty of diet soda (though I don't log that).0 -

"However, accumulating evidence suggests that frequent consumers of these sugar substitutes may also be at increased risk of excessive weight gain, metabolic syndrome, type 2 diabetes, and cardiovascular disease. This paper discusses these findings and considers the hypothesis that consuming sweet-tasting but noncaloric or reduced-calorie food and beverages interferes with learned responses that normally contribute to glucose and energy homeostasis."
This is what I am referring to when I am mentioning "studies" on aspartame.

Check out the concluding remarks. Basically, they may lead to increased consumption when eating ad lib and therefore to obesity and therefore to increased health risks. Not relevant for people tracking food unless it causes them to not be able to adhere. For many, it actually helps adherence.
I creeped your page :X kudos you look great!!! Can I ask a personal question. Why do you eat clean if non of this matters? I am not being sassy I am curious.....
Where did you get the impression that I ate clean?
Whoops I didnt read your whole profile. I stopped at that sentence. My bad. Either way you look amazing so whatever your doing stick to it. Your stomach is my goal. I have never had a "flat" stomach so its unrealistic but still my goal.
It's entirely realistic. My stomach wasn't flat until I made it that way. Same with Sara I believe. Aspartame hasn't kept me from hitting 10% body fat.
Do you argue with me just to argue? I was 114 at one point. I am 5'1 and have a small torso. Its smooshed!! I am going to humor you: how did you do this? If you can make this happen I will send you a gift via email You seem like a man of principle so I think a good "you told you so" would be just as good.
Strength training combined with a proper calorie/macro oriented diet.0 -
ugh i wish people were more supportive and helpful instead of trying to tear apart anything "wrong" someone says.
what about maltodextrin, try research if its bad ( i recently heard something about it)
and i think I've read a few times anything with an E is not natural and better left out.....
im just suggesting but im not saying im correct before you all jump on me.0 -
The fresher it is, the better it will be for you. I try to consume Organic (don't want to ingest pesticides, etc) and Non GMO (genetically modified). Typically anything that has come out of a lab I limit!0

Look guys I do have a good diet and I do everything: I do yoga, circuits, interval training, strength training, etc. I have trainers ask me to be a trainer on a daily basis. My stomach is just not a normal shape, My fupa area is completely flat and I have a tire (maybe its skin) under the belly button. When I was at my thinnest it got smaller but never got a toned look. Even at a twirpy 10 I had it. So when I say that its not like I am not trying.0 -

You never got a toned look because you weren't doing effective strength training or your protein intake was insufficient. You need muscles to look toned. Getting smaller but not tones is the hallmark of losing lean mass.

But there are pesticides in organic food.
"Contrary to what most people believe, "organic" does not automatically mean "pesticide-free" or "chemical-free". In fact, under the laws of most states, organic farmers are allowed to use a wide variety of chemical sprays and powders on their crops."

"Many people believe they develop a reaction to MSG, dubbed ‘Chinese Restaurant Syndrome’, after consuming the additive, although it is a popular myth. In fact, MSG is found naturally in broccoli, mushrooms and tomatoes, so anyone who reacts to MSG would have problems with other vegetables."
Dispelling both e-number and msg myths. A good programme, too.
Food you don't like is bad, food that is off might be bad, too much food is sometimes bad, and food you want to eliminate from your diet (although not bad, is a perfectly fine way of staying healthy. But moderation within your own limits is probably the best way, whether it be organic produce or a couple of McD's meals and ice cream.0 -

Maltodextrin is fine.
Anything with an e? What does that mean?
I believe that the E refers to E numbers a system whereby food additives are listed as a number beginning with E and in the UK have been seen as 'bad'. However just to highlight how misleading even this can be, E 300 is vitamin C I believe (might be wrong) and several E numbers used in colouring and flavouring are completely natural ingredients and not dreaded 'chemicals'0
