Sugars, most fats, processed foods. This is what a guy on youtube said, if that is so i'll never be toned.

    No. There are tons of people on here with amazing physiques who eat all the foods they enjoy, including sugar etc. I don't think of any food as bad or junk, it's just food and it can all be incorporated in to a healthy fitness or weight loss plan.
    Read these. They're great!

    I think you need a little bit of sugar to keep yourself on track as long as you do not go overboard with it a little bit is not going to hurt

    I love sugar. :)


    ETA: Someone told me that I'd have to cut out all sugars, refined foods, processed food... basically EVERYTHING YUMMY... if I wanted a 6-pack. He was wrong too.

    A large amount isn't going to hurt if you aren't diabetic and it doesn't put you over your calories.

    I think him posting it on a fitness forum contributes to doing his own research :drinker: Yay for self-empowerment!

    If a guy on you tube told you that aliens were controlling our thoughts by using onions would you believe him?

    Mfp forum is not doing research.

    I meant research as in from reputable sources which mfp is very not. Maybe a little better than youtube... *maybe* doubt it

    No you don't...also...

    - you would be hard pressed to cut out all sugar...basically you could eat plain grilled chicken breast and that's pretty much it.

    - fat is an essential macro nutrient...cutting out fat and sugar (carbs)...again...what would you eat. Low fat/no fat diets cause more problems than they solve.

    to get "toned" you just need to cut fat while preserving muscle mass.

    It's OK, it was 10,000 calories of pure rage.

    Everyone's body is different. I lost some weight when I cut down on sugar.

    If I put my rage towards teh foodz I am eating, does that mean I can eat more of it? Say I burn 2,000 calories with rage on a box of Oreos, should I eat back those burnt calories in pizza and beer?

    To be fair, I do believe most people cut way, way back on sugars before a fitness competition. It's only temporary though. It's not sustainable, and it's a few steps past "toned".

    If the guy says it, then it is most likely legit.

    And when you DO do some reputablely sourced research, you'll find out that a lot of people on MFP really know their stuff, having done the same research. Furthermore, they are validating it through their personal experiences and willing to share their thoughts and knowledge.
