An Argument Against Fast Food

had a gluten free, dairy free pizza from dominos a couple weeks ago.
crucify me.
What is that, like, a plate of meat and vegetables? O.o
gluten free crust, sauce and veggies. vegan
You do really most GF substitutes are actually far more unhealthier than those containing gluten? I wouldn't touch that crap. And this is coming from a diagnosed coeliac, btw.0 -

man... ate my post. but the ingredients are: Water, Rice Flour, Rice Starch, Potato Starch, Olive Oil, Evaporated Cane Juice, Tapioca Flour, Potato Flour, Fresh Yeast, Avicel, Salt, Calcium Propionate.
Only two in there I'd be worried about. (Avicel, Calcium Propionate)0 -
I guess all the reasons fast food are "bad for you" are also implied. Care to spell it out for me? I need that sort of thing.
And I'm glad you buy the good peanut butter
Just go to fastfoodingredients.com
Look at all those yummy chemicals and fake flavors.. then keep in mind that most of the stuff is fried and then topped with globs of stuff.
yea.. so good for you..
Be specific. Which of those ingredients are bad? What bad thing to they do?
Is "fried and topped with globs of stuff" supposed to be bad somehow? How?
Like I mentioned earlier, I have been eating like complete "crap" for the past several days. Fast food, 800 calorie milk shakes, pizzas. High sodium. Has my healthy probably decreased? In what way did it decrease? I am now unhealthy? At what point would you consider me unhealthy? The moment I ate the Egg McMuffin? Would I have to eat 3 of them in 1 day?
See what I'm getting at? No, probably not.0 -

you already said in this thread that you've been feeling like crap since last night.........0 -
lol my diary is also full of a ton of whole foods. today wasn't perfect. look at yesterday. absolute perfection. :P
i've already said 90/10.
to set things straight. ONE donut and 7 crackers. I'd have thought that was a model of moderation for you fast-food junkies!
Lets talk some microbiology and chemistry.
1. The majority of the foods you eat are acidic
2. You consume foods with yeast(such as multigrain breads)
3. You consume foods with sugars.
Acidic foods aren't good for your cells. They will make you sick, lead to Mg(magnesium) and Ca(calcium) deficiencies. Your body buffers these acids in the blood stream with calcium from bone and magnesium from muscles. Yeast produces myo and exotoxins they live in the blood stream, their waste products is acidic as well. You know what they feed on? Sugar. You know what happens when the body gets too acidic and buffering systems get low? It will store it in the tissue which will cause disease. YOu should change your diet and stop killing yourself.
agree with the wheat stuff. eventually wanna wean myself off it.
i actually don't eat many acidic foods. I'm much more versed in this than you given that I need to eat a low-acid diet to control my reflux. i also drink highly alkaline water.
most of my sugars come from fruit. but yep - not perfect on this front yet either.
Everything you ate for breakfast except the chlorophyll is acidic, just so you know.
I don't know about the acidity of shakeology, but otherwise... can you tell me what's acidic? also first it was "the majority of your foods are acidic" and now it's just breakfast? which is it?0 -

man... ate my post. but the ingredients are: Water, Rice Flour, Rice Starch, Potato Starch, Olive Oil, Evaporated Cane Juice, Tapioca Flour, Potato Flour, Fresh Yeast, Avicel, Salt, Calcium Propionate.
Only two in there I'd be worried about. (Avicel, Calcium Propionate)
Seriously? LOL
Unless you are gluten sensitive or intolerant (as I am) or have Celiac Disease I highly recommend you NOT speak to your obvious lack of knowledge on the subject.
You are missing the mark on the most OBVIOUS FELON in those ingredients above. FRESH YEAST.
It requires two rises therefore is not good for gluten-free products.
Period.0 -

I said my hunger levels have been out of whack (as in not very hungry; keep in mind i'm bulking - it IS a lot to eat, and hey i though fast food was supposed to be LESS filling?). and the IDEA of jack in the box nauseated me (not that I even ate jack in the box). and that I slammed (meaning performed very well at) my workout last night.
I never said i was feeling like crap.0 -

"but do not BERATE me for having a closed diary, or send me private messages that have made me feel like complete ****. That is NOT what this site is about. This site is for support, and if you cannot be supportive, get off of my page. "

That's your answer to being proven wrong?
How about you just say something like, "Oh wow, I had no idea"
It would make you seem more human and marginally humble.
You can't admit you were wrong, eh, or that someone had slightly more info than you?0 -

It's the MAJORITY, wasn't going to go through your 3k calories and tell you every. I gave an example "Everything you eat for breakfast except the chlorophyll"
according to who? because Dr. Jamie Koufman, author of the book "Dropping Acid", a high-pH nutrition diet plan, would beg to differ. She's only been studying this stuff for 30 or 40 years and is the leading Dr. in the field.

Acid < 7
neutral = 7.0
alkaline > 7
pea protein, peas = 5.70 - 6.00
Recovery Formula, whey = 4.5-6.5, destrose = 6.4(solid not mixed in solution, mixing with water can make it more acidic), citric acid = 4.0
greenberry, whey - 4.5-6.5
The least acidic thing you had for breakfast had a similar pH of urine.
Glad you listened.
Almost all foods are lower than 7.0 -

Why you changing your story now? You said that Dr. Jamie Koufman wouldn't support my claims that the majority of your food are acidic.
This might help you
My ultimate point is, don't be going around thinking your diet is the best and criticizing other diets. Your diet is just as bad. Everything we eat is bad for us, depends which perspective you want to take
I dont. I dont. It isnt. You're wrong.
However im in bed and having an in depth discussion about alkaline foods will be difficult on my tablet. We can argue about this tomorrow.0 -

Because I personally feel that we'd all be better off eating less gluten. I can eat whatever I want. Lol
The logic that all natural food is better than all fast food and that someone that eats no fast food is healthier than someone who does, is flawed. Sounds like something that megs would say.0 -
The biggest component in all of this that is always missed is the fact that stress affects your health in a negative way. It affects your immune system, can produce anxiety and cause or increase other mental illnesses, and also makes you unhappy. If you are unhappy/stressed by purposely not eating things you like, you aren't "maximizing" your health.
And the other thing is that the whole point of being healthy is to have a life that is worth living. Even if you can somehow manage to squeeze out an extra 0.01% 'healthiness' by going to ridiculous lengths of deprivation, even ignoring the stress thing above, you are missing the whole point because the amount of happiness you gain from 0.01% better health is less than the amount you've lost by wasting your time with the hysteria of trying to find and live by a 'perfect' diet.
So, in fact, for people who LIKE fast food, in certain quantities it IS better for your health to eat it than it is to not eat it.0 -
