I thought the " poop stinks" troll was accurate. LoL
Technically speaking however:
Calorie
a : a unit equivalent to the large calorie expressing heat-producing or energy-producing value in food when oxidized in the body
b : an amount of food having an energy-producing value of one large calorie
I'd say "eating calories" would be an accurate way to communicate the amount of food you eat when discussing energy balance.0 -
My primary diet is to eat a certain number of calories. To address insulin resistance, I do carb + protein/fat linking as recommended in the Insulin Resistance diet book. I also try to get about 120g of protein daily and 30+ g of fiber.0

I know this is an old thread, but I'm always looking for weight loss advice. LOL.0

I'm on the "I just want to enjoy my life so I'm going to eat healthy when I can, eat what I want other times and stay active" diet. It's all about balance, folks.0

One thing that I do, which I know I shouldn't is this: When I'm out with others, I'll eat something really fattening and decadent so that they won't know I'm trying to watch my weight. Sort of like what the famous people call DIPE (documented instance of public eating). In other words, I like for people to think I'm just a normal woman with a healthy appetite. I might do this once a week. I wonder how bad this is for derailing my progress?0

Are you saying you aren't a normal woman?
This concept confuses me greatly.0 -
What I mean by normal, is eating normally, aka not on a diet.0

No coment on your concern for what other people think of your eat habits.
As far as having a decadent treat derailing your fat loss effort, it is simple.
If your total calories for the time period are less then you burn you will lose fat.
If that decadent treat doesn't put you over your calorie goal then it is fine, if it put you over your goal then you didn't lose fat during that time period.0 -

This sounds sort of..disordered to me. Rather than ACTING like a "normal woman" (your words) you should BE a normal woman with a normal appetite. That doesn't mean you can't watch what you eat/diet.0 -
im on the ' eat less move more' diet.
works really well, too0 -
I'm going to try the "eat less move more diet". In the meantime, I don't know if I can get a handle on why I act the way I do in public. I realize it sounds disordered and I don't know why I feel the need to prove to people that I'm just a normal woman with a normal appetite. In private, of course I'll eat less and move more. In public, I'd rather have people think I eat heavy meals all the time and am just naturally slim. They'll see me order something unhealthy, for example a cheeseburger and fries, not knowing I saved up my calories for days ahead of time. They will think I eat like that all the time, which makes me a normal person, at least in their eyes. The question is, why do I even care?0
