I've thought this for a while.

Stop eating this!

This causes cancer! No really, it does!1!!

This is bad for you!

That is bad for you!

Dont eat this!

Dont drink that!

Only eat moss!

Armadillo poo on toast boosts your metabolism! I read it on teh interweb!

etc etc etc.


Really people?

Calories in/out for most of us. Unless you have medical conditions/specific doctors advice...eat what you want to hit your macros, track it all, account for it all, and stop worrying about myths/scares/etc.

There, got that off my chest.

    But I don't want to ever eat anything that has a poorly documented reputation for any of the things you mentioned, I might find myself actually living a little ;)

    My thoughts exactly!! I eat what I want and just make sure I am in near the green zone. That's the only way I can make this a lifetime commitment. I have been doing this for nearly 100 days and I still do not feel like I am on a 'diet'..

    Gets out the firehose for Monster. Just in case.

    remember when eggs were the devil?
    remember when fat free products were going to save the world?
    remember when carbs were all bad?

    ******deviled eggs - did I really put that there?*************

    1. Eat healthy things.
    2. Supplement with very small amounts of tasty unhealthy things to make not tasty healthy things taste good.
    3. ???
    4. Profit

    I only eat Bolivian free range organic armadillo poo, because they alone eat a species of cockroach unique to three towns in the Búlshete mountains that in turn feed on the Pacalais lily. Their poo is therefore high macitupasugo; it is this that enables MASSIVE weight loss, up to EIGHT TONS in a week. Other armadillo poo is just placebo, the OP is probably working for one of these charlatan companies.

    Be aware, people.

    Absolutely over complicated .... if you think about this everything that is processed or comes in a packet is pretty much bad for us if you really want to make it simple eat whole and eat fresh .. and you can't really go wrong.

    But .... we like it complicated don't we? gives us something to piss and moan about :P lol and post forum questions on topics we already know the answer to truth be told ...

    You know what I find most disturbing about our obsession with over complication (and I include myself in this) is that here we are sitting behind out laptops! computer! pissing and moaning about our over eating our obsession with body fat and looks and weight and FOOD !!!! when there are millions of people out there who don't know when or where their next meal is coming from or whether they'll have clean water to drink today .... whats wrong with this picture ...

    Thats my food for thought today :)

    I had cancer, and had NO triggers (ie foods that cause it, neighborhoods that cause it, toxic waste etc). On the other hand the food choices caused me to be over weight! So- I've been cooking lean for a week now and today we ate two big meals and two small meals and i'm only at 850cals for the day!
