or at least that's what i'm reading on the forums... "diet soda is bad, sugar is bad, carbs are bad, fat is bad"...
so what in the world are we supposed to eat? lettuce and water? smh... i'll stick to my diet coke, fruits, occasional cake when it fits in my calories (THE HORROR), my 100 calorie sandwich rounds, and a big burger WITH cheese thank you very much...
juuuuust saying

Totally agree! Well said :drinker:0

I'll stick to real soda if I'm going to have it :bigsmile: Pass the bacon please. :drinker:0

Everything is bad for you if you look at it hard enough.
While I've cut out the processed stuff (diet soda being a big one), I totally agree with eating what you like and fitting it into your calories... heck, sometimes treating yourself and going over on calories is truly therapeutic!
But AMEN!0 -
Preach on sister!!!!0

I absorb my nutrients from the air, like an epiphyte.0

Sometimes I eat a pizza.0

Check out my "Foodies Unite" thread under food and nutrition..... We all cook and eat amazing foods and are all losing weight! All things in moderation!0
-
and this is why we are friends on here you tell 'em, girl!0

Sometimes I eat a pizza.
you rebel you... it's ok, i had 2 pieces of pizza and a piece of pumpkin pie WITH cool whip... NOT the light version either...0 -
Diet soda is disgusting.
Everything else is fine.0 -
Oh wait! So water and multivitamins aren't the answer? What an epiphany!
:laugh:0 -
indeed. People stress out wayyyyyy too much about what is good for you and what is not. Everything in moderation i say!0
-
Ever read "In Defense of Food"? It's worth it.0

I agree I get so sick of someone saying a new food is bad. I had a person tell me carrots were bad so I said so a carrot is just as bad as cake and they said YES!!!!!!!!! I can't deal....I am not rich or perfect so I can't eat all 'perfect' foods all the time.0

This is why I love IIFYM: if it fits your macros, EAT IT.0
-
So true. I posted on my blog about this once and got someone trying to convince me that low-carb really was the one true way. :laugh:0
-
HECK YEAH!!!
I'm right there with you ! :drinker:0 -
Was just talking about this with a friend on here!
"Waaaaaat, you eat fooood"?
Oh dear.0 -
Yeah... I had a grilled cheese sandwich, some onion rings, and a few sips of a pumpkin pie shake from Sonic today. Oh noez -- It's gonna KILL me!!!
Riiiiiight.
Life is too damned short not to treat yourself once in a while. That's why it's called a "TREAT," people.0 -
I just loved this thread goes off to have a piece of lemon slice...such a relief i dont have to eat just lettuce and water hehe
I sometimes do wonder how the heck i am suppose to eat all these calories....I have eaten more in the last few days i have in a long time..0 -

I think food is good!
In fact, I just posted a really awesome recipe here- http://www.myfitnesspal.com/topics/show/380395-delicious-low-cal-high-protein-soup0 -
I had an idiot I work with try to convince me that water was bad for me a couple of weeks ago so I guess we need to avoid that as well:)0

You are the real rebel!0 -

No, no no... he meant a WHOLE pizza. In one sitting.
I had chicken and waffles today! :bigsmile:0 -
I'm with you. I drink diet soda, eat fast food, ice cream, put real sugar in my coffee AND drink alcohol....0

Not everyone does the "eat clean" method. Some of us opt for portion control so that we can avoid complete deprivation. Deprivation can affect one's motivation so it is okay if that is how you want to do it for yourself.0

You can drown from it. Clearly that's bad.I had an idiot I work with try to convince me that water was bad for me a couple of weeks ago so I guess we need to avoid that as well:)0 -
Water is bad. Something about pills and hormones.
You have to wash lettuce in that bad for you water, thus making it bad as well.
I think the getting your nutrients from the sun is the way to go. I'm pretty sure I saw a woman on some mom switching show do it and she wasn't crazy at all.0 -
You don't wanna see the nearly 1,000kcal cheeseburger I ate the other day.0
