    I will never eat "clean" or any other category of "diet" you want to insert. Is it healthier? Sure I suppose it would be. Would I enjoy life nearly as much without my morning "processed" cereal and yogurt, my weekend burgers and pizza, my beers whenever??? HELL NO! Therefore... I choose to do what I want and work out like a beast to compensate. :happy:

    BIG DAWWG......rockin' it, and having fun.

    Yup - I agree!

    how do you eat that stuff? none of that is food

    sure it is!

    it's enriched flour and dried fruits and sugar and flavorings....my personal PopTart favorite, Blueberry, has 2 grams of protein and 10% of many needed vitamins.

    Don't be silly..........ya, it might not be GOOD food to eat every day, but as a treat? Yuppers :bigsmile: :bigsmile:

    I eat what I want. So far, that has been foods that I believe are most healthy for me including lots of veggies, fruit, locally raised grass finished beef, etc. It excludes almost all foods that come in a box (including poptarts, strudels, etc.) I wasn't real thrilled about it the first few weeks, but once I broke my addic...er, my *habit* of eating these instant gratification foods, I don't feel deprived at all. I intentionally choose the foods I eat and do not feel any urge to deviate from this approach. Perhaps there will come a time that I do, but so far, 7+ months in, I do not.

    But I realize that there are many on this site who say that I'm doing it wrong. *shrug*

    JofJ, don't say the "A" word!!! :laugh:

    I think the biggest problem is people being far too literal when it comes to dietary explanation. I eat Paleo. Do I mean I eat 100% exactly as someone did in that time period? Hell no! I just find it far easier to say "I eat Paleo" then to say "I eat meat, fruit vegetables, and nuts 90% of the time and I don't eat dairy, grain, legumes, etc... but I also from time to time take protein shakes and a few supplemental pills, and this, and that, and the other". I agree that it is stupid to name your diet, I just find if people want to know what I eat, having a descriptive name for it seems to help with explaining things...
