I have been reading some of the posts in RECIPES, and I was quite surprised on some of the ingredients in the recipes..
people are using vegetable oils? WHY? OLIVE OIL is so much better and better for you.. some have posted TACO BELL!!!!!!!! really? ONLY 140 calories per taco.. Seriously? TACO BELL.....yeah there may be ONLY 140 Calories but what else is in there? common people this is not just about counting calories, you should also practice to eat healthier. what good is it if you count calories but adding junk in your body?
Can I get some support on this.

It may not "healthy", but you can still achieve weightloss with a couple 140 calorie tacos from Taco Bell. I don't think it's realistic to completely remove "junk" food from your life.0

^^this! you don't have to eliminate everything in order to lose weight. in fact i still eat the things i like, just use portion control and find healthier ways to prepare them0 -

Exactly. I even still order a pizza once a week ever since starting the weightloss journey. Haven't gained, only lost. Just need to remember that I'm not eating 4 slices anymore.
But at the same time I understand people who don't want to touch food like that. If it works for you, have at it0 -
While olive oil my be Healthy for you it is not always in a persons budget to use it or they may prefer a different type. I personally view recipes as an outline and adjust them to my personal tastes. If you don't care for what is in them develop ones that you like or tweek the ones you don't to your liking.
If a person choses to eat fast food, soda, meat, vegs ect it is up to them and their food calorie allotment. None of my business. This journey is about learning what works for you.0 -

My doctor, who made me sign up for MFP, asked me today if I was using any meal replacements. He was disappointed that I only lost 5 lbs this past month.
I told him that I only eat "real food" like lots of veggies, fruit, beans, lean meat, nuts, a little greek yogurt.
Sure, I make the bulk of my meals as healthy as possible. This is the fuel for my important machine. If I buy premium gas for my car, I will definitely put premium fuel (let's not say gas :-) into my body!
But, last night I had some calories left for the day, and I really enjoyed three mini gluten-free cookies.

Unless it's ultra refined, olive oil burns at a lower temperature than vegetable and canola oil. If you're doing a stir fry or other type of cooking at a higher heat, you can't really use it.0

um. So let me see if I've got this straight......you are so worried that people are eating vegetable oil and Taco Bell that you needed to put it on the Interwebz for eternity?
I had no idea they were that alarming. Thank you.0 -
My way is is the only way and anyone who disagrees with me is wrong! :indifferent:0

I would not want to live that way. The good news is, you don't have to.
If it makes you happy, COOL! But if you are white-knuckling your way through weight loss, when you get finished, will the results stay? Or will you be so deprived and desperate for a gummy bear that you say to heck with it?0 -
Some people are picky. If a taco's what they want, who are we to judge?0

Oh, I must have my taco bell. If I didn't get that once in a while I would never stay on this program. Sometimes I just have to be bad.0

im with you! i am junk food free! its about eating healthy, not about starving yourself and then eating a big mac.0

Umm...THIS^^
I don't find it fair that you judge others for what they eat. No one asked you if Taco Bell was good for them or if they should eat it. If it'll fit in to their fat, calorie, sodium, etc count for the day, than I say go for it!0 -

:drinker: Had it last night..., the Doritos Loco Taco Supreme @ 200 Calories...; it was soooooo good!0 -
Now I have to go to Taco Bell for dinner! And I was planning baked skinless chicken breast. Moderation.0

I never starve myself. Nor do I feel guilty about using the calories I earn through sweat to eat how I like.
I'm pretty glad it's working. VVVVVVVVVVVVV0 -
My husband doesn't like the taste of olive oil. In fact, he hates it. And I agree, sometimes junk is convenient.0
