You can eat food IN bed.

Unless it's Triscuits. That stuff scratches.

You don't need to eat clean.

I'm going to have to respectfully disagree somewhat on this. There's too much processed garbage that's loaded with chemicals out there. I sure do feel a lot better since it's being phased out of my diet.

If you can show me that eating clean is a necessity I will conclude that you are correct and I am wrong.

Additionally, clean is an ambiguous term. Is whey protein clean? What about cheese?

http://www.wannabebig.com/diet-and-nutrition/the-dirt-on-clean-eating/

Moreover, will eating clean result in greater weight loss? Will the presence of "some" processed foods in the context of a nutrient sufficient diet, have any negative impact?

You are welcome to disagree, I am not offended.

But I am also not convinced that I am wrong.

I'm convinced that you're convinced that you're right and convinced that I agree.

Saw somebody losing weight eating McD's everyday. So yes, you're right eating "clean" isn't a necessity. Also agree that eating clean is a fairly vague terms. In my book, if I pick up the item and in the ingredients list can pronounce most of the items then its clean eating to me. Supplements ofcourse such as protein shakes and vitamins etc are exceptions.

But I think most of the more knowledgeable folks on this site take the eating clean a bit too aggressively. Cheetos vs. yogurt. KFC drumsticks vs. whole wheat bread. All of those are fairly processed foods but Cheetos and KFC are fairly low on nutrition and it gets harder (not impossible) to lose weight on that kind of diet

I lost a substantial part of my initial 40lbs, making sure I got my full protein in...and otherwise surviving on pretty much nothing but Taco Bell.

It wasn't the 'best' diet, but it didn't slow down my weight loss.

This would be where the "common sense with food selection" part comes up in the post.

Speaking generally (not at you in particular), eat "mostly" nutrient dense and minimally processed foods, and if you want to, eat "some" junk food, lets say KFC and Cheetos, but fit those foods into your macros, and with a little moderation you'll do quite well. Point being, don't stress out over a chicken wing or some corn. IIFYM.

Since that KSU nutrition professor lost 30 lbs. on a Twinkie diet, I think the 'eat clean' thing is debunked, at least speaking strictly about weight loss.

oh I agree and I understand the need that folks should be using common sense along with learning about their own body needs too. I was just making a point about clean eating and how vague that term is and how different folks on MFP takes different meanings out of it

Like I said, for most of us its hard to lose weight eating JUST taco bell and such. Not saying its impossible (as seen by you and the guy losing weight eating McD's). If I were to be on a 100% junk food diet, I don't think I can lose even a lb

^ Absolutely, and this is one of the inherent problems with the term itself, and using that term to decide what to eat.

Love this but just can wrap my head around most of it. If this were truly the case 90% of us wouldn't have gotten fat to begin with, how do you think we got here? Eating too much starchy white junk probably. I wish is were all true though, id have a much better time getting these last 5 lbs to budge!

BTW I do eat junk food regularly but I just make a day out of it. Eat all kinds of crap and then burn off the extra calories. Seem to be working so far in terms of defusing my cravings for junk food and keeping my butt in line to keep more home-cooked meals on my table for the rest of the days

It's absolutely 100% true. The problem is that peoples natural perceptions and methods don't always align with the science of your bodies needs. Until you take hold of your intake (tracking via MFP), and use it to first track how you used to eat...then use it to pinpoint a target intake, and regularly eat under your maintenance calories...you have no way of quantifying 'how you got fat'.

The corn title was for my friends list. It started when someone made a post about how corn is toxic and leads to disease and makes lemmywinks go sprinting out of your colon or something ridiculous like that.

Being the troll that I am, I decided to run with it and post about all the vicious things that corn has done to me.
