Five foods you should never eat....

farmgirlsuz

Has anyone else seen the ads that say "Click here to see the five foods you should never eat to have a trim tummy"? I know they are just trying to sell something so I never click, but my curiosity is getting the best of me! What are the five foods? (There is always a picture of a banana, but I LOVE bananas!)

Sadie98072

Ive seen those ads and Ive never clicked because its a crock of ****. There are no foods that we should NEVER eat. Thats just setting ourselves up for failure.

I don't know but every time I see them I have a sudden hankering for a banana....

SunLove8

Yeah, I was curious too for awhile until they recently stuck the banana up there and I thought it was ridiculous.

No idea but, at a best guess:

Deep fried Mars Bars

McDonalds Big Mac and Large Fries

Ice Cream Sandwiches

Onion Bhajis (sp?)

Fried Bread

SiltyPigeon

I would not click on those, however, I would go with

1.) Lard
and
2.) Bacon Grease
and
3.) Butter with a spoon
... just for starters.

Who's got more?? Lol.

I think anything is fine.... just as long as it is in moderation.

you know, they probably put the banana on it because they knew people would be like "What? Bananas???" and then click on it to see if bananas were on the list.

I was bummed about the whole banana thing too b/c I love bananas. LOL I haven't clicked on the ad either, though. The only reason I can think of that a banana wouldn't be "healthy," is because it's higher on the glycemic index (if you follow that). Generally, you're supposed to eat things lower on the GI.

I clicked and thought it was well worth it - no, they don't say anything about not eating bananas. It is more about cutting back on sugar, bad carbs, bad fats and processed foods. It takes about 15 mins to listen to the whole thing. Yes at the end is something to purchase but after the very informative details given there really isn't any need to purchase. I highly recommend checking it out.

cheshirequeen

i dont know either, but mick, you made me laugh so hard:laugh:

sdgirl22

No more butter with a spoon :sad: LOL!

I would say french fries - has anybody else seen the warnings on McDonald's nutrition charts that say fried potatoes have some sort of carcenagenic (sp?) chemical??? how weird is that?

The fried batter droppings that come as a garnish at long john silver's. Fried coke from the state fair as well. BLEH!

I too am a fan of the idea that nothing is off limits, there are just foods that you should definitely limit.

Although, you probably shouldn't eat random berries and mushrooms that you find in the woods.

Omg i just read something about wendy's new fresh cut fries. They also put a chemical in their fries. I'm at work on an annoyingly slow computer so I can't look it up right now. But I think all fast food restaurants do thats. They also put something in the oil so that it doesn't get foamy from all the fries they cook in it. I'm officially off of fast food :sick:

I clicked, too. Like it says above, they DO want to sell something (an eating plan), but there is quite a bit of free information, too, in the form of a little video. They pretty much are warning you about high glycemic food like also mentioned above. It was informative. Don't be afraid to click. I did it about two weeks ago and haven't been spammed or anything. There are things talked about that I already knew, but a couple of things I can add to my lifestyle arsenal.

laddyboy

Yellow snow is my guess. I almost never eat it. LOL

theseus82

1) Draino
2) Rock salt
3) lead paint
4) Asbestos
5) Special K water mix-in

OK, I cheated, some of those are liquids. :sick:

Ha! "Almost never" ??????

It's nice to know everyone has such a great sense of humor! And thanks for those of you who were brave enough to click for the rest of us and sharing the information!

1. Fecal matter
2. Human flesh*
3. Plastic fruit
4. Toenails, not even your own
5. A salad, after Jagermeister

I read once that canned tomatoes are one of the worst foods because of the way the acidity of the tomatoes mixes with the metals. Don't ask me to quote where I read it but this site says it too http://www.drmercola.biz/uncategorized/10-worst-foods-to-avoid-this-new-year/. I haven't been able to buy them since. But that said, I haven't read any hard evidence on it, so
who the heck knows anymore.

I'm pretty sure Krispy Kreme Burgers are on there. I wonder what the (lack of) nutritional value is on one of those suckers...

I won't lie, my boyfriend and I made these once. They aren't all their cracked up to be.

LOL! I have a trim tummy on most days and I never eat:

1. waste of any kind
2. things that taste nasty to me
3. things I'm violently allergic to...

I'm fresh out. But I have seen that commercial and it makes me crave bananas as well...bananas with chocolate

Actually the best is a kind of bananas foster - sautee banana slices in a tsp butter and 1/4c rum cream, add a little salt, cocoa powder, and brown sugar/splenda to taste -Yum and still pretty low calorie

Fried coke from the state fair as well. BLEH!

It's a good thing the fair only happens once a year. Actually, I have never indulged in crazy fair food (corn dogs and funnel cakes are as crazy as I have ever gotten) but I imagine eating fried butter would either make me sick or turn me into an addict.

donicagalek

Exercise calories. (it's a JOKE - eat them or don't, I don't care. :-D )

Pebble321

I can't believe I read the word "fried coke" and "krispy kreme burger"
Please tell me you are joking... Or if not, tell me how this can be so???

Good to know :laugh:

Just be careful if you DO click on one of those ads, some of those ads can load malware on to your computer (I work in Information Technology).

1.) Lard
and
2.) Bacon Grease

3.) Butter with a spoon

Who's got more?? Lol.

I disagree! Bacon grease is great for cooking eggs with and wonderful for making bisquits. (Best thing ever for seasoning a cast iron pan and makes everything you cook with the pan taste lovely.) Just use it as a grease (and not a main ingredient!) and life is dandy.

Also I never see those ads. I never see ads period! I use adblock plus along with a hosts file and 99% of them are gone! (BTW hosts files are good for blocking ads as well as malicious pages. Both can contain viruses.)

Adblock plus for firefox: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/adblock-plus/

*If anyone actually uses a Hosts file send me a message. I have a link you can add to the file to block. I won't post it here since it's a page that tried to infect my computer with a virus and I don't want anyone accidentally clicking it. (I run a linux computer. The virus did nothing to it but it was funny to watch it try until I found the link to it and blocked it.)
