    Just throwing this out there: Skinny (slim, lean etc) does NOT mean healthy. A person slim could be skinny fat . If you live in the US (I do!) have you ever wondered why there are so many slim people with diabetes ? or just health problems in general? Oh also BTW low calorie does NOT mean healthy.

    Yes, what you said. It's already been brought up about macros and staying within your recommended daily fat intake as well as carbs, fiber, sodium, etc. Staying within your calories is fine if you have a pizza, but for 40 grams of fat and all the other awful things that come with it.. yeah, you can be 'small' but you'll be rotted on the inside.
    I seldom touch fast food because it's what made me obese in the first place. I started with weight watchers, and when I found that a big mac meal was 37 points (my daily allowance was 31), I quickly realized the kind of garbage I was consuming. I feel a million times better now.
    That being said, one bad meal doesn't make you fat, kind of like how one healthy meal doesn't make you skinny. I indulge every now and then, but I would never consume that crap on a daily basis.

    LOLz
    Scared of fat, eh? Sounds legit.
    I had 3/4 of a pizza and cheesecake for dinner. I eat a half pizza at least once a week.
    A) I am surely rotting on the inside.
    OR
    B) I'm actually really healthy, strong and pizza-fueled for an awesome run tomorrow.

    I have low cholesterol, low blood pressure, healthy digestion, dense bones, a high LBM, lots of energy, no diabetes or insulin resistance, a high VO2max, good CV endurance, and I've been able to get off depression medication in the last year. There's even some anecdotal evidence that increasing my fat consumption has helped my underfunctioning thyroid- though I would not be so bold as to say that there's direct correlation there.

    I'm leaning towards B.

    ETA: I also put tons of salt on everything I eat, including pizza. You didn't mention the sodium, but I have a feeling you have problems with it, too.
    Girl said it doesn`t make her comfortable to eat. That ain`t no big thang,. Why you need to shame her for it? Frankly why is it cool to embrace garbage eating because you ate one big mac over a month and still lost some weight. But you are still obese?

    What the bloody hell are you talking about.

    you like eating garbage. Great, you win.

    I wish McDonald's sandwiches tasted as good as it smells. I'm always disappointed. I WANT to like it. And why can't their fries taste good 30mins after they've been fried? It's not even like they don't taste AS good...they go from tasting delicious to tasting like cardboard!
    Um, because real food tastes like crap after it's been cooked and left sitting out? Cooked french fries (whether it's from McDonald's or home made) have a shelf life of about 5 or 10 minutes, hence the instructions to "serve immediately."

    Ummm, not trying to be a smart alec but..that really didn't explain what you were talking about/said or add to the conversation.

    If YOU are going to wag your finger and shame someone for doing or saying things and they ask you what you are talking about, shouldn't you justify your words in some way?

    I was talking about you calling MoreBean obese and saying she was shaming someone specifically.

    However, as you mention is, what exactly is in a pizza that is going to rot you from the inside as you dramatically put it?

    Can we get back to the part where you apologize for misquoting me and insulting me in the process?
    I missed that part.
    You don't need to explain who the insult was directed at, because that person probably doesn't want to be insulted either.

    I find it hysterical - her blog goes on about having a pizza party.

    "We had a fancy Pizza Party. I was a little worried at with having a Pizza Party since you can only do 1 at a time, but it worked great! I bought the major major pizza cutter which has totes changed my life and I would highly recommend! It made cutting the pizzas small for cocktail eating perfect."

    Apparently 'fancy' pizza's are OK.

    Welp. Time to throw out some things there.

    1) >> "Junk food" is any food that may be comforting and appealing but is of low nutritional value and contains a lot of bad stuff like fat, salt and sugar.<<

    >>"Fast food" literally just means food that takes little time to prepare, but it's now almost always associated with retail food outlets such as burger restaurants, to contrast the sort of service they offer with that of a traditional restaurant where "proper" meals take longer to prepare. <<

    2) >> Foods commonly considered junk foods include salted snack foods, gum, candy, sweet desserts, fried fast food, and sugary carbonated beverages.

    BUT NOW THE REAL SHOCKER...

    >> Many foods such as hamburgers, pizza, and tacos can be considered either healthy or junk food depending on their ingredients and preparation methods with the more highly processed items usually falling under the junk food category<<

    :noway:

    shocking, right? no kidding throwing on four layers of cheese and bacon to your pizza isn't too good for you.

    personally, I love pizza. so I'm totally with MoreBean there.
    (who, by the way, has a killer body. just saying.:flowerforyou: )
