    :noway: Starvation mode should have been the first one suggested!!! Elicits tons of anger and Harvard research.

    If we can do words, by far the largest debate on MFP, I cannot think of one train wreck so horribly replayed, A Calorie is NOT a Calorie

    S = Starvation mode

    I think that if I read about one more person starving to death...I will lose my mind.

    I wonder...has anyone on MFP ever starved to death???

    Yep, me. I'm posting from the grave.

    N = Nutrition? U = Under eating? Hmmm... I got nothing.

    How about netting & under 1200 calories.

    Ah, so much better!

    Now I want dessert.

    And what of the people who genuinely are cutting out all sugar? Should they chose their vocabulary differently because you disapprove?

    How about adults use whatever language they chose, and you focus on whatever vernacular you like. That's the biggest problem with this board; grown *kitten* adults who seem unhealthily obsessed with what other grown *kitten* adults are eating, and how they chose to discuss it.
    omg this thread is the best lololol,
    how about eat whatever you want in moderation , you want to cut out the white stuff carbs sugar have at it, been there done that and just got me straight to bulimia , and my body in starvation mode, this site is the best, im 43 and for the first time in my life im eating whatever the eff I want and not stressing or feeling guilty and everyone's support and threads like this make it so fun and motivating!
    thanks everyone xoxox

    lololol's at the premise of this thread...while talking "starvation mode" as a fact.

    M should be Milk.

    Compared with the debates about what counts - and doesn't count - as milk, the addiction threads are Kant's Critique of Pure Reason...

    I'll throw in my two cents because...well, I can.

    I think it's absolutely asinine to say you are cutting out all of any type of food. If you ate sweets, drank gallons of soda, or gorged yourself on pasta for years to get fat, than chances are you like those things..there's a shocker. So, it's nice to say "I'm giving up all sweets and sugar," but reality is that you're surrounded by it and you really need to find some way to deal with it.


    Yeah, you can deal with it by not ****ing eating it, it's not that hard. If sugar makes you over eat, then don't eat a lot of sugar.

    The traditional Inuit diet had only trace amounts of sugar, far less than the west considers safe.

    Back in my low carbing days I recall a woman on a board who lost all her weight on a near-zero carb diet. She ate once a day, a huge, fatty steak. Loved it so much she kept eating that way. Maintained it for years, and had excellent labs for a middle aged woman.

    I personally have gone the "no sugar" route, including fruit; felt good, health was perfect. I never intended to stay that way, but it's not impossible at all. I've met a few people through the years who eat that way and are perfectly content.

    This website clearly states, upfront, that it's a platform for all programs. It's not an "everything in moderation" website whatsoever. People can set whatever macros they like. These threads never cease to amaze as people seem to think this board is about one way, and only one way, to eat. Wrong.

    I could care less how people eat..

    I believe what some are trying to point is the logical fallacy of saying "I quit all sugar but still eat fruit"….

    or if one truly cut out ALL sugar are they not eating carbs, fruit, honey, etc? or the statement that one is 'addicted to sugar, but still eats sugar…" always amazes me...

    I totally agree. I too find it absurd when people say they cut sugar...while downing bananas and honey.

    I'm merely pointing out that it is possible to cut sugar truly, and that some people stating such are being quite literal.
