    Kudos to all of you that actually answered the question "what to make with fluff" for all of those who had negative comments - "Shame on you" This was not a thread that asked the question "Is fluff bad for you". She just truly wanted some advice on how to use it! If you want to give your negative opinion, find a Post that actually asks for it!

    Hi everyone. I am hoping for some guidanance, I recently purchased some marsh mellow fluff, So far the only use I found for it was adding it to a fruit salad instead of marshmellows and it was very good. I bought it because I noticed in a lot of people's food diarys but now that I have it I can not figure out what people do with it. Please give me some ideas dearest Fitness Pal Family if you don't mind!!!
    I believe the comments from the OP were actually : "I'm looking for some guidance.." "Please give me some ideas dearest Fitness Pal Family if you don't mind!!!"

    Last I knew it was an open forum where all could share their thoughts, and that is what each person responding did, in one fashion or another:flowerforyou: Shame on us?:laugh: Since when is speaking the truth in how we view it something to be ashamed of? We all have our opinions, I don't particularly think a jar of whipped fluff is all that healthy.

    Yes, shame on all of the negative thoughts...............and I would not have posted anything on here except for the fact that the person who posted this is a very wonderful and dedicated person and all of the negative posts REALLY bothered her. She just wanted ideas to use her new found product as she needed guidance for its use. I am sure that she is intelligent enough to know that it is sugar!

    I may be the odd man out here... but I'd get rid of it. It's highly processed and pretty much pure sugar, and our body doesn't need stuff like that. There are so many other delicious and healthy treats that you could be having!

    I don't get this either... why would anyone who is trying to eat healthier and lose weight even buy it? :huh:

    I agree with both of these posts... Not sure why it would be intentionally put on anyone's grocery list who wants to lose weight and eat more healthfully- especially when it's something they've never really bought before. I don't see this as negative feedback. She asked what to do with it, and our answer is "Throw it away!" :tongue:

    I'd be doing you a disservice if I lead you to believe it is a food that fits into a weight-loss goal.

    what a completely silly thing to say. of course marshmellow fluff fits into a weight-loss goal... in moderation.

    does a cookie fit into a weigh-loss goal? of course! in moderation. does yogurt with artifical sugar and flavors fit into a weight-loss goal? of course. that is what most people eating yogurt consume. does a s'more fit into a weight-loss goal? of course! i've had several this summer and enjoyed them immensely.

    is marshmellow fluff a product that you want to eat everyday? of course not. is it a product with nutritional value? nope. but to suggest that it can NOT be eaten during a weight-loss regime is a disservice to the intent of the post. the general science understanding of 'calorie in versus calories out' dispells that.

    perhaps you meant that is is a food that should not be eaten because the poster is trying to become 'healthy'. even if that is true, 'health' is not the only reason to eat something. enjoyment of food is important too.

    it is okay to enjoy sugary, crappy, processed food on occassion. (and you CAN still lose weight doing it!)

    Thanks so so much very well put I was starting to feel unloved and unappriciated This was actually a one time thing for fun and I have learned personally if I do not have anything bad especially at my TOM I binge eat but I can just have a little and get through it. Thank you for your love and support. I feel like less of a loser now.:wink::laugh: :laugh: :tongue: :tongue:

    Thanks for your support Like I told the other poster I feel more loved and less like a loser now YOU TOTALLY ROCK!!!:flowerforyou: :flowerforyou: :drinker: :drinker: :laugh: :laugh: :wink:

    awwwwww, you're not unloved Hon! When ppl respond to a question it's not about the person it's about the question asked. You asked and some of us shared how we felt on the food item (non food? lol) not on you yourself. Sometimes it might seem that way on the boards but it really wasn't meant to reflect on you as a human being.

    "It's not you Babe, it's the Marshmellow fluff!" bwwwwjahahha
    Sounds like a breakup line, came to me when I was typing., made me giggle. :)

    If someone on the boards suggests a food not being one of the healthiest, taking it so personally as to feel 'unloved and unappreciated' might be a bit extreme, it is merely a HFC item in your cupboard:tongue::laugh: Right?

    I don't see that anyone called you that or even implied that, what we take on personally is our stuff, noone here called you a name because you were asking what to do with HFC. We merely shared what we'd do with it:laugh: :laugh::wink:

    Hon! Whether you eat the stuff or don't eat the stuff, you're not a loser, you could sit on the porch steps and eat the whole jar with a spoon right now and I would NOT think you're a loser. I might wish you hadn't because I"ve had many a sugar hangover in my day...but I'd never think of you as a loser:heart::flowerforyou: I think in time we learn to seperate ourselves from the foods we eat, but I think it takes time. :drinker: :wink:

    My initial response when I saw the query was "use it to start a fire"..... but that's perhaps not constructive. It makes a good slow-setting concrete for gingerbread house decorations. And I'm being completely serious about this....

    I like to mix a thing of marshmallow cream with a 8oz. thing of fat free cream cheese for a fruit dip. Just make sure you portion it.

    I can just have a little and get through it. Thank you for your love and support. I feel like less of a loser now.:wink::laugh: :laugh: :tongue: :tongue:

    I'm SO sorry, I didn't mean to make you feel badly!! It's just that I've read quite a few posts that have been confused people thinking that lower-calorie= good food and (since I posted a while ago) I thought you might be too. Plus, I can't have marshmallow fluff in my house. It doesn't go well. Anyway, best of luck with your journey!

    (And I like mine on a nilla wafer with a little (sugar free? no.) caramel sauce and a slice of banana on top!)

    Try Walden Farms marshmallow dip (no calories, no fat, no carbs). I use it in my strawberry breakfast smoothie to make it creamier. It's very yummy!

    Heh....I always wondered what people use the marshmellow fluff in a jar for. I figured it was mostly used to make smores...? or maybe to make rice crispy squares?

    I'm sorry if my original response came across as judgmental. I honestly didn't intend it that way. I'm far from perfect, but after a year of being on this site, tracking my food and finally "getting it" - I realize that I feel like crap when I eat stuff like this. I don't believe in depriving myself, but I *don't* feel deprived when I don't eat this stuff. I used to eat this kind of thing way too often, but over the past year I've started listening to my body and educating myself, and I realize that anything that has corn syrup as the primary ingredient isn't something my body wants inside of it.

    If anyone's interested, here are the ingredients in Original Marshmellow Fluff (from their website): Corn Syrup, Sugar Syrup, Dried Egg Whites and Vanillin.

    Would having a little bit of it once in a very great while hurt me? Probably not. Would having a jar of it in my house be a temptation to eat too much of something that has no nutritional value and makes me feel bad? Yes. I just thought I'd introduce another perspective, because it's people who did that for me who helped me to change my eating habits for the better. Some treats are fine in moderation, but some things I'm better off just cutting out of my life.

    Also, I'm sure most everyone on here has a few unhealthy foods which we may indulge in from time to time as a treat, but she obviously wasn't acquainted with this food. Why learn to eat something that's not healthy when you're trying to improve your diet.

    Mix it into your pancake batter!

    That sounds sooooo good!!

    And I can honestly say that in my weight loss journey, I have not deprived myself of any junk food of any kind. If I want chocolate, or ice cream I will eat it and I won't be judged for it. I understand why we are here, but if someone has decided to buy something that THEY would like to indulge in, why be negative about it? Everyone knows marshmallow fluff it's a piece of fruit, but if she would like to have some, who are we to tell her not to? If it concerns others so much, then maybe they should jump over to another thread and leave this one alone.


    Maybe that's just my opinion, but I love this site for the positive comments, not to be told what I should and should not do. :ohwell:
    Wow thanks so much I was starting to think about finding a new site but I realized a few insulting people the ones calling me uneducated and being ugly do not make up the whole site and why let them ruin my success!! I have never been healthier or fitter and I AM Lovin' It!!

    Guess I missed the comments of others calling you uneducated and ugly, that wouldn't have been nice.:ohwell: I wouldn't have liked that either, but after rereading this entire thread I didn't see anyone say anything close to that.

    Let's all lighten up on the fluff and DANCE!dancing6.gif

    Life's to short to worry about fluff...ya know?:drinker: :wink: :laugh: :tongue: :flowerforyou:

    You're welcome! If you feel like you are depriving yourself, sticking to your diet will be much harder. Keep working to make more good choices than bad and it will get easier!

    Never ever get down because of what a stranger on the internet says. Seriously. There are a lot of mean people on the internet, and some of them are just there to make others feel bad about themselves. Don't give them that power. :flowerforyou:

    I use this and it is great. Use the low fat-free - you will not even miss it.

    This is a treat.

    Seriously ...NO nutritional value and full of chemicals!!! Throw it out!! Whole foods and exercise is the best way to go... Harsh I know but you'll thank me later. Remember nothing makes you fatter then no and low fat foods...
