    Nothing. There is nothing that everyone will agree with. That's really good, because people who ask questions get a bunch of different answers and can decide which ones they think might work for them.

    Everyone has to do things their own way and IMO, there is no right way.

    The way that works for you is right for you.

    Something everyone should do is cut down on processed foods!

    I see you're eating Aunti Anne's macaroni and cheese tonight.

    What was that about processed foods? :laugh:

    And no, we will never agree on anything. Some people don't even know what they personally believe in around here. "NO SUGAR" but eat fruit. Etc.

    An honest reply - although I'm sure some will still disagree:

    Eating to lose weight (solely CICO) is not necessarily synonymous to healthy eating (paying attention to nutrients, macros etc).

    EG: You can lose weight eating nothing but Twinkies and Ho-Hos.
    I don't think anyone is saying that blindly following calories in vs out whilst paying no attention to food choices is "healthy". But regardless of food choices, even if food choices are extremely "healthy" weight will not be lost without a calorie deficit.

    Awesome responses people!....
    I love to see how it all varies from person to person

    I ask because i have been on several "diets"
    such as: vegan, vegetarian, paleo, juice fasts, weight loss pill (if you call that a diet, or lack there of) and the list goes on

    I have such a problem feeling comfortable eating "healthy" but if i stay within my calorie limit with what i do eat I don't eat much
    I never ate healthy as a kid... so i have very few "healthy" things i like
    I was just hoping to get a base line of what is "normal" and go from there
    Happy healthy me will come out one day!

    TOPIC: What do we all agree on?

    The Dallas Cowboys will not make the playoffs this year.

    Agreed.

    And neither will the Bengals.

    Again.

    Hey, no disappointment in January works for me! Get it all out of the way during the season.

    OP - you'll find a hundred people giving a hundred answers.

    Exactly - that's why I added it to the "what can we all agree on" topic :)

    As I'm sure we all know there are numerous different "diets" or "healthy eating" out there...
    But is there something we can all agree on from every aspect?
    Can you tell me what you may think is something everyone should do and what "diet" you are on?

    I'll start
    Water and lots of it
    I don't have a healthy diet YET
    i like it.

    Calories in/calories out for weight loss.
    Meeting macros for energy and nutrition.
    Food type and exercise is for personal preference only.

    Can we all agree that 3,000 mg of sodium a day is too much?


    Nope. I have low blood pressure. The extra sodium actually helps me out some.
    Same here.

    Do you think we can live a healthy life without fruits and vegetables?
    what about working out... can you be healthy and not workout?

    I agree with this.

    Also: Eventually, someone in this thread will get upset enough to post a mean people thread.

    But is there something we can all agree on from every aspect?

    1. if you can't pronounce the ingredients, put it back on the shelf.

    2. excuses get you nowhere.

    3. anybody who is making an active attempt to improve their overall health deserves respect and admiration, no matter what they look like right now.

    Everyone should strive to be honest with themselves about what and how much they're eating. I think that's one thing MFP does really well; you either own up to your diet, or you spin your wheels, regardless of what your goal is.
