in Food and Nutrition
Protein powder
Fish Oils
Green Tea Extract
Creatine
Flax Seed Oil
BCAAs

The above aren't considered eating clean, or paleo for that matter, and there are plenty more that don't qualify as well which are good for you. You don't need to name your diet to achieve weight loss or LBM gains, just eat healthy.

    I don't do any one category of diet 100% of the time either. I find it to be an unrealistic expectation for myself. Promising myself that I am *only* going to eat ABDC for all of eternity is just setting myself up for failure.

    hahah i agree I do not like when people put that after taking those pills or supplements. Eating clean means eating a nice balanced portion as well as getting the right amount of nutrients in the body (follow the dang food pyramid haha). I also do not like when people say that "oh I worked out for an hr, therefore that gives me the excuse to eat whatever I want" What are you getting out of doing that, absolutely nothing!! you are only hurting yourself.

    You forgot donuts, apple fritters, and other pastries.

    True! Half a box of toaster strudel, that's what I call a great breakfast! =D (heh, I wish!)

    I agree!! Some people can and do eat {blank} and are fine with it. But - I like to go out to dinner and have a steak and beer and I don't want to feel guilty about that! As long as you eat healthy and it works for *you* what does it matter. But I totally agree that those "diets" can be a recipe for disaster.

    I don't know; your current pic is quite classy. Especially the combination of the pipe and the wine talk.

    I dunno - isn't that Terry Thomas you've got there? I'd take his advice.

    I am quite a foodie. If I had to give up the wonderful variety of foods in the world in order to be healthy, I'd be depressed all the time. Amazingly, I have been able to keep healthy and enjoy eating the foods I love, cook more fresh foods, and not feel like I'm being deprived. And I'm getting more and more healthy by the day. I love it!

    ERMAHGERD, I miss those things... haven't had one (or four) in like 10 years. So salty and delicious. I am eagerly awaiting the advent of gluten-free toaster scrambles.

    And if anyone can show me that they DO exist already, I'm not sure if I'll hug or shank you, so proceed with caution.

    Oh yum indeed. I could dive into one of those and eat my way out.

    This is something I also desperately need to know.

    I've lost 5kg in 4weeks since using MFP but I am still drinking and smoking socially - it's surely all about balance??? My first time posting tonight - it's weird, (are any Aussies reading this) we seem to be a lot more relaxed diet wise? Happy to be attacked- please USA losing weight seems like a massive culture wave? Responses(Inc negative welcome)
