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.

You are SO right!0

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'..0

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

I've tried the armadillo poo and lost 1231lbs! But then I put it back on again immediately - but it works for me!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I agree.

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.

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 0 -
It all boils down to a math problem….0

Yea but it's high in sodium so have some HCG tea to flush it all out.0 -
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!

Oh!! On TOAST!
So that's what I've been doing wrong all this time!0 -
I agree!!
When I've been asked how I've lost weight I get a funny look when I tell them I'm keeping a food diary & exercising. I went to a bbq in the weekend & ate what everyone else was eating, it was such a relief!!
I still get to eat most of the food I enjoyed before. Until I found this site I thought I lacked the motivation & willpower to lose weight & thought I was going to be overweight forever.0 -

HCG pee tea werked fer mee! Don't knock it until you tried it!0 -
I totally agree with you, It takes trial and error to figure out what foods work you. Generally my idea is I try to get the most bang for my buck. There have been minor changes in which foods I eat but all in all I'm eating what I want. My fiance is pleased because my food choices have not made a huge impact on what he eats. He was worried about that...lol I am amazed about some of the food I see people raving about....but that is their choice and does not make mine wrong. The more complicated you make it the more you set yourself up for failure.0

<--- he just hadda Armidillo Poo Burger...other than that, I totally agree.0

I've got this brand new gimmick for losing weight. AND IT REALLY WORKS! They call it counting calories and exercising! But Shhhh, it's apparently a secret.0
