    What makes white rice or bread worse then it's brown counterparts?

    Less nutrients and higher blood sugar spikes.

    Less nutrients and higher blood sugar spikes.

    The absorbable nutrients is quite close between the two

    And various fruits spike blood sugar higher then a snickers or ice cream so that means they are worse?

    I agree with some of the posters here. If you think you deserve or can eat junk food on daily basis, not only do you slow down your progress, you are essentially not letting your body change rate of metabolism and what it takes in. If you do not have discipline to take out junk food out of daily basis, don't tell others that it is okay. Eat in moderation, spoil yourself from time to time, but don't make it a daily habit.

    Those who lost 4 pounds out of 100+ to go should think about giving suggestions on here because you clearly don't know that junk food on daily basis, even in moderation or under calorie goal is still bad. Do your research people and have a great day.

    Lol, assuming the exact same macronutrient and cal intake, 1 diet has "bad" foods everyday (we'll say 10-15% of daily kcal) and 1 diet has all "good" foods in it, what effects would it have on weight loss, metabolism etc?

    come on man....take a break

    Why take a break? He's right.

    It may not be best for your overall health, but what you eat...barring health issues and/or any form of allergic reaction....has ZERO direct impact on weight loss...assuming you stay within your calorie goals. Junk food can however easily help you smash that goal into oblivion due to the high calorie content even in small volumes, and the resultant loss of feeling 'full'...but that isn't the point being made.

    ya....I get that...the point has been made umpteen times...but what value is added by being condescending?

    He's not condescending...he's direct, honest, and doesn't spend a lot of time couching his words in phrases that make people comfortable. My comment for example...said pretty much what his did, only I spent some time adding in things to make it more palatable for people who would otherwise disagree.

    I do it unconsciously.

    He doesn't.

    That's not condescension...at all. It kind of amazes me how many people feel like it is.

    Lol condescending for challenging a bunch of BS? Those types of posts are pure ignorance and it serves no one to go unchallenged lest someone actually believe such nonsense. As is typical with such posts, no mention of any context or dosage of bad foods and no reply either.

    Would love to see the affects of this twinkie diet after a year rather than 10 weeks...
    I'm sure if professor twinkieface did it for a year he'd clog up his arteries from all the hydrogenization.

    I think Supersize me proved the point of "bad foods" pretty well...

    No Supersize 'proved' that if you eat excess calories you gain weight and screw your body up. He would have been eating at least 3000 calories a day. And he wasn't exercising.
    its funny how some people seem to brag that they eat junk as if they are a bad *kitten* or something. get over yourselves. But, if you are gonna eat crap, why must you try to convince the newcomer to eat crap also? selfish much?

    Except people aren't doing that. The OP asked a question which people have answered.
    Exactly. Has anyone else noticed that people giving the sound advice on here have lost weight or already met their goal weight?

    I've lost 77lbs does my opinion matter?

    What's great about my profession is that I have worked with people from all walks of life.

    Execs, professionals, SAHM's, blue collar, students, etc. Each and everyone of them has their "bad" food/drink that they feel affects them. When I restricted it from them, it always seemed to be their demise somewhere down the road. When I taught them how to have it with limitation (portion size mostly), it became a regular lifestyle change.
    Did I have some clients that did it the "clean way" only? Yep. But the number of clients that did it this way and keep their maintenance was about 1 out of 10. My clients that are taught how to still have "bad" food as part of their weight loss lifestyle have a much better maintenance rate (18 out of 20 from last check).

    It's not always going to work for everyone else, and having me checking up on them and reviewing with them weekly probably helps alot, but since I've converted to this philosophy a few years back, the results have been way better and success for them is much more gratifying to me.

    As long as its within your calories. But why would you want to have something bad every day? Isnt that what got you here in the first place? I think every other day is fine and in moderation.
