Replies

A few main ones people are subject to on a daily basis.
White Sugar- You need organic sugar. A good one is "Sugar in the Raw". Sugar was never made white.
Creamy gravy- When you are out to eat stay away from creamy gravy. Dr. Oz had a show that talked about it. They use a TON of
butter to make this stuff.0 -
Fried foods <----true but if it fits your macros then why not?
Hamburgers & French fries <---I eat hamburgers and if i'm in a deficit I lose weight.
Table sugar <---true but if it fits your macros then why not if you like it.
Plain Jam <----if it fits your macros then why not if you like it?
salted nuts <---ate nuts like this every day. Sodium wont stop you from losing weight.
smoked nuts <----nothing wrong with smoked nuts.
refried beans <
heavy carbs can still fit in your macros.
Baked Beans <
if it fits your macros then why not if you like them.
Chocolate Fudge <
if it fits your macros then why not?
Candy <
if it fits your macros then why not?Toffee
Gums <----I chew gum every day and still lose weight.
Boiled sweets <----WTF is a boiled sweet? Anyway if it fits your macros then why not....
Mint Sweets <---better than big sweets in some instances but if it fits your macros then why not?
Liquorice <----In women this is actually great to have as a dietary supplement. IIFYM then why not?
Honey - Honey has minimal nutritional value & has the same calorie content as sugar. <---some people prefer honey and IIFYM then why not?
Soft drinks <
If it fits your macros then why not?
Tinned fruits <----unsweetened or sweetened IIFYM then why not?
Chutney <----I ate all sorts of indian food including chutney and lost weight. IIFYM then why not?
Pickle <---Really? At <3cals? Really?
bacon <----Bacon fits into rest day macros easily.
sausage <----I ate sausage almost every day and lost weight as long as I was ata a deficit.
cured meats <---some of the best protein is from cured meats. Never avoid this. Easy to bag and go!
ham <----ham is a fatty meat so should be eaten on rest days. Or IIFYM eat it!
fatty cuts of steak like T-bone & rib-eye <----Bull****. Again the fat isnt bad and helps with testosterone uptake.
Puddings <
really? Even the 100cal ones? Bull****.
Corn syrup <
this is true.
Fruit juice - It's better to eat raw fruit instead of fruit juice because fruits contain more fiber and the juice will always contain more sugar than the actual fruit. <----but if it fits your macros than drink it.
Cake <---IIFYM eat it.
Bread made with white flour <
wheat is preferred but IIFYM then eat it.
Soda pop, such as Coke, Pepsi, Mountain Dew, etc. <----IIFYM drink it.
All baked goods made with white flour <---wheat is preferred but again IIFYM eat it.
Coffee <---coffee has been proven to be one of the best and cheapest supplements on the market. So many studies that I couldnt even begin to print them all. This was the biggest BS i've read on this article so far.
Biscuits <----IIFYM eat it.
Fast foods <---Fast food fits into my cutting calories daily.
Pasta made with white flour <----wheat or rice preferred but IIFYM eat it.
Canned fruits w/added sugar <see canned fruits above.
Most packaged cereals <---I ate 2cups cereal every night in bed and lost weight.
Alcohol can slow your metabolism down by 73% <----BS it actually causes the body to only focus on getting rid of the alcohol. Drinking on an empty stomach thern waiting for the alcohol to be expelled will have zero effect on metabolism or nutrient uptake within a 24 hour period. This is BS.
Potato chips <---nothing wrong with these as long as the fit your macros.
Popcorn <----some of the best carb sources and filling. I suggest popcorn to those who are having trouble making macro goals.
Cookies <---nothing worng with cookies as long as they fit your macros.
Ice cream <---I ate ice cream on a daily basis and lost weight. IIFYM eat it.
Cakes <---IIFYM eat it.
Pies <---IIFYM eat it.
All deserts <---all bull****.
Artificial sweeteners <----IIFYM eat it. I like splenda and i'm losing weight.
Most bottled green teas have more ingredients in it to help you gain weight than the actual green tea itself to help you lose weight. <----but IIFYM drink it.
Fear mongering is one of the best tools for creating misconception about food.
If you like a certain type of food and you want to lose weight, all you need to know is "Do you have room in your macros to eat it?"
Do you know your TDEE?
This article would have been good if it stated that all the foods are fine to eat in moderation.
If it had some type of science behind it to back it up.
Coffee causes stress?
WTF?!
Any type of stimulant causes stress.
Green tea is a stimulant BTW!
What a bunch of garbage.
No wonder we have girls on here afraid to eat above 1200 cals and who sit in the corner crying because they had 1 cookie.
To summarize:
If the food you like fits your macros then eat it.
You will lose weight as long as you are at a deficit.
Period.
Rant done.

Thanks once again for a really helpful post Dan!
I didn't quote you as your reply is quite long, but it hits the nail on the head.
Won't be surprised when this thread disappears...0 -

YES. If Dr. Oz said it, it MUST be true :bigsmile: :bigsmile: :bigsmile: slurp slurp *wipes gravy from chin*0 -
^^^^^^^^I'm tempted to get this thread locked since it is so assed out f*cking stupid it should just go away.

that list says i should eat nothing because i eat all of those things and still lose weight0

very simple it if fits in ur required macros then its fine the reason people say avoid junk because they contain empty callories and contain more calloried for example a fried chicken will contain more callories than a normal boiled chicken because the fried chicken has breadcrumbs and also it has oil which has callories but I belive in if it fits ur macros then ur fine people have made this so complicated than it has to be0

Exactly - again, do what you can sustain, because too many fail burning out and going right back to old habits followed by weight gain. None of us wants to die fat.When deciding to eliminate any food from your eating plan, ask yourself "can I stick to this the rest of my life?" The reason why so many people lose weight, gain it back and end up right back where they started is that they restrict this, that and the other from their eating to lose the weight but you can't honestly stay away from potato chips forever, can u? I rarely eat chips, maybe 10 potato chips every 3 months at most, and although I tend to eat REAL food and am staying away from processed food, there is that exception of a couple of Chips Ahoy cookies every week lol.0 -
wow, most of you responders are seriously rude! you can respectfully disagree without sounding like jerks. i can't believe how hateful some of your posts have been. you should be ashamed to act with such immaturity.
rant done.0 -
I didn't bother to read the article, I just read Dan's response instead. (Better way to spend my time I figure!) But if the article said all of the foods listed in Dan's post are off limits, then my question is ... what the eff ARE we supposed to eat? They've effectively eliminated nearly every food on the planet! Is Dr. Oz behind this?! Maybe he wants to sell us some new super supplement to replace all the foods we're supposed to eliminate.0

What is this crap?
So I should just go find myself some cardboard and ice to snack on?0 -
No thanks!0

I need my peanuts for potassium as soon as I finish induction, and you can't have my coffee. The rest you can keep. Unless I find nitrate free bacon.0

There are certain foods that I DO NOT have in my house anymore, and guess what? EVERYONE IN MY HOUSE LOST WEIGHT EVEN THOUGH I WAS THE ONLY ONE TRYING. :happy: There are some foods that we (my family) overeats. Period. I cannot have a bag of chips, pirates booty, cheese curls, etc. in my house or I will recreationally eat, my kids overeat ice cream, my husband will overeat cheese, and we now only eat those things occassionally - out fo the house. If you adopt good habits, that becomes your norm. There isn't anything wrong with striving for that. My husband hasn't had fast food in over 2 years and he is so proud of himself because HE FELT LIKE CRAP WHEN HE ATE IT. :huh: If you want to be healthy, eat healthy things. That's all. I do not put sugar in my coffee anymore, or in my oatmeal and I do not miss it because I am used to it now. We eat mostly lean meat, yogurt, and cottage cheese, fruit and vegetables, and my kids still eat rice, cereal, and pasta, but I eat sweet potato and spaghetti squash and zucchini instead. I am getting older and I would like to be around and healthy for a while. There is nothing wrong with an article that recommends eliminating unhealthy things from your diet. It is all a personal preference, and I do believe that you can make changes and stick to them on a most of the time basis, and no, I do not cry in a corner when I indulge in chips and ice cream cake at parties or cookouts, :sad: they are just not my norm anymore. Peace people. :glasses: Just because some people believe it is best for them and want to share, that doesn't mean you have to feel mad or :grumble: about your personal preferences.:flowerforyou:0

Oh wait, you can't have my ribeye or other fatty cuts, either. Rabbit starvation doesn't sound fun!0

Isn't the key to this healthy life style "Everything in moderation"? I'm not going to tell myself, I can never have a hamburger again or some type of fast food, because I know sometimes it will be ok but as a rare treat for me.0

Let's respectfully disagree.0

LOVE the "organic cardboard" recommendation! It just highlights how silly overboard we can get.

Well crap, I have been doing this all wrong for the last 3 years.... Now I have to start all over!!! Grr!!! LOL Eat Clean the majority of the time, fit in those foods that you like from time to time, and get your butt up and get moving.... It isn't rocket science, just takes alittle hard work and dedication..... Go get you some!!! :drinker:0

Moderation, plain and simple!0

Some of you are being asshairs on here! there is no reason for it. What you need to do about this post is simple. Don't read, move on and get over the fact that you don't like. It's not like the OP is forcing you to read it!0

Agree with the IIFYM guy. Just because you cut out certain foods does not mean you'll lose weight. You could eat too much "good" foods and not lose weight as well. If it fits in your calories and makes losing weight more bearable for you then go for it. Just eat more good foods to make sure your getting your nutrients but eating a little of foods that are considered bad won't hinder weightloss if your calories are right. I know one guy who eats oreos in the morning and it has helped his weightloss because he gets his sweet cravings out of the way and can focus on healthy food the rest of the day. I used to do close to the same thing with breakfast pastries when I lost all my weight a couple years ago. I'd have what I want once a day and focus on good foods the rest of the day. Most of the time I ate clean and then had what I wanted for dinner. It worked because it all still came down to calories.0

If I can't fit some of the things I love into my diet then I will never last and I might as well throw in the towel now. I have eaten the majority of these NO NO's and still lost weight, so there!0

Except that letting people post things as "truths" that are simply not can be dangerous. It is so much better to have people break these sorts of things down to show just how wrong they are. It would be bad of us as a community to allow such unbacked falsehoods to spread.0 -
i feel ganged up on
maybe i should have made it say "foods to try to stay away from"
i hardly eat any of that stuff anyway.. but i do sometimes if theres nothing else at a party or if i have a craving and just make up for it later w/ exercise or something
for the most part i try to stay healthy as possible. theres other foods you can eat instead of those that are good for you and taste just as good....... but again im sorry!!! im not starting posts anymore lol
Totally fine post for the people who have a hard time controlling there caloric intake via calorie dense foods. That is usually the quest for most people controlling there calories, to find delicious yummy foods low in calories so you can eat alot of it and feel satiated.
ex. McDonalds 1/4 lbr 520 kcal
Homemade 80/20 1/4 lbr 320 kcal0 -
Honey is AWFUL if you want to be thin. Look at Bruce Lee. He ate tons of honey and was quite fat.0
