At least it seems like most everyone agress that processed foods are bad.
Then most everyone is an idiot
ok I'm not the most diet educated person out there but are you suggesting that processed food are good for you?. To me processed food = food loaded with additional chemicals such as soda and those "nutrition bars". I'm not trying to argue, just was wondering if this is what you meant
Some examples of processed foods, tell me why they are bad;
Frozen fruits, protein powder, yogurt, milk, cheese, olive oil, butter, nut butters, oatmeal.0 -
Anyone who thinks carbs don't make you fat is an IDIOT. Personally, I only eat raisins and horseradish everyday, and i'm RIPPED.
/sarcasm
Horseradish is a double win. It stokes the metabolic fire and it blocks carbs.0 -

*sigh* so now its not carbs, but grains are the bad guy?
Evidently, they have never lived with a person who is not overweight and observed the things they eat.
When I was thin, you best believe I ate some carbs. I got fat from eating too many calories and not doing any exercise...period.
Yea I have a feeling what made me gain was the huge amount of peanut butter I used to eat xD
Always have and always will eat my carbs

Re: this very subject...
I have been having troubles at the doc's lately. Although I am now losing weight, I went into pre-diabetic stage on my last blood tests after 3 months on MFP and 18 pounds lost. My doctor has no idea how to lose weight, as he initially told me to go on a 800-1000 calorie, low fat diet. I went on the Atkins diet about 12 years ago, and had some problems when my potassium dropped and I started having bouts of tachycardia and ended up in the ER several times. So, I have decided to limit my net carbs to 75-100 per day, take a potassium supplement and hope for the best. I think as long as I don't go into ketosis from too few carbs, I should be okay. I am convinced too many carbs could be aggravating my blood pressure and insulin levels. I have just recently been hearing about inflammation in the arteries caused by too many carbs. Anything that causes a sugar spike is especially harmful in that way. I have another appointment for blood work in 2 months, so we will see. It's just a little difficult learning a completely new way of planning my meals to have lower carbs, yet still meet the calorie limit. I have tomorrow planned and did fairly well. I just don't want to go to the extreme of Atkins where I was eating pork chops, bacon cheeseburgers (without the bun), and lots of fried stuff. It was easy and I lost a ton of weight, but was too scarey when my heart started flopping around like a flounder. I'll comment in my profile after two months if anyone is interested in my next test results.
Edit: Yeah, there are bad carbs and carbs that are not so bad. It's eating a lot of either one that's not good. The "bad" ones give ya a sugar/insulin spike and the good ones are slower to metabolize and preferable.0 -
100% means the "moderation" part and, btw, me too. btw, it's the highly packaged and high preprocessed carbs that are bulging us first worlders. IF we shopped and prepared our own natural foods, are carb content would go way down and the ones we ate would be from fruits and veggies, with a little grain thrown in. Good call.0 -
P.S. Marilyn Monroe was more like a size 4/6. Sizing was much different back then. Her measurements from her dressmaker are floating around somewhere. Not a size 10 by today's standards.0

I think you and I are on a bit different pages about what we consider processed food. While you're correct, those are processed foods (and good for you at that!) but when I think of processed food (and what I believe others in the thread are referring to as processed food) are the chemically enhanced food from burger king or those so called nutirition bars which are loaded with additives etc. Strictly speaking almost all foods are processed but I think you're taking terms too literally sir0 -
Marilyn Monroe credits her beautiful figure to pasta (AKA, carbs)
She so fat...
Umm, I don't know if you picked the best possible picture to illustrate your point...
Thought about it but couldnt be bothered with finding a photoshopped pic of her. She still looks drop dead gorgeous and very fit
who gives a **** shes still a 10(oh and asize 10 to)
Marilyn looked fabulous on the outside, but was in terrible, terrible health on the inside.0 -
Nice job. You chased a newbie out of a chat room that is meant to be a place of support. You might not agree with the op but you could at least respond with respect and sensitivity.0

Carbs do not make you fat! Look at any runner or cyclist. They eats carbs by the boatload. I started logging into MFP to help refine my diet. I wanted to get rid of the garbage in between meals. You know, the candy bars, cookies. etc. The stuff that gets unnoticed when you try to recall what you ate at the end of the day. Anyway, I average 252 carbs per day mostly whole grains and fruits and vegetables.
You know what makes you fat; sedentaryism!!! When I was a kid the last thing I did after school or on the weekend was sit in front of the television. I was on my bike or in the park or playing dodge ball or ringolevio (relievio for my Canadian friends). Google it if you don't know what it is. My point is that there is a child obesity problem today because the kids just sit around and eat and watch TV or play video games.
We all ate McDonalds and Burger King and cookies, ice cream, potato chips, candy bars. I certainly didn't grow up eating carrots and celery for my snacks.
One hundred years ago when we worked for a living; I mean physical work hauling boxes, digging ditches, building fences we were able to burn all the excess calories we ate. Progress has taken the physical labor away from us to the point that we drive our cars around the block to buy a gallon of milk.
Humans are evolutionary (I hope I don't offend anyone now). As we recognize that our sedentary lifestyle is causing health problems we begin looking for ways to correct it. That means replacing the physical labor we did as our means of earning a living with enjoyable (for some) exercise. It also means adapting our diets to recognize that we don't need as many calories (or carbs for energy) as we once did.
You see, I have been a runner for over 35 years, I have eaten mounds of spaghetti, bushels of potatoes and sacks of rice. I'm not fat and I've had a desk job for thirty years. And I don't think I'm better than anyone else out here.
Honestly, maybe I'm just venting since my wife thinks that carbs made her fat. I'll save my opinion on that matter in case she ever reads this post.0 -

There of course different degrees of processing but even something like whey or casein protein powder that is more heavily processed doesn't make it necessarily bad.0 -

Very true. Ofcourse the grilled chicken I made at home can also be considered processed. And I would never ever deny the benefits of my delicious chocolate flavored whey protein powder but you know what I'm referring to. I was just curious if you meant that the other processed foods I listed were included in the "not bad for you" statement you made originally. I'm going to guess you are didn't
