    This. Though depending on the deliciousness of said food, I am flexible on the 5 second part....and the floor being clean...

    Also, I have a funny story about this. One time my brother's friend was over at our house mooching food... and he dropped a slice of bologna on the floor, picked it up, and ate it.

    When the rest of us were disgusted, he just said "What? It's already bologna!"

    I only got thru bananas and concentrated fruit juices. I couldn't stand to watch it any further.

    there five food catagories. they actually tell you them right in th begining.

    the whole message is basically eat whole foods, foods with as close to one ingredient as possilbe.

    they are selling a diet book and unlimited access to a website for 50 bucks.

    they don't tell you not to eat banana's, they tell you to eat as much real fruit as you want (but not fruit juice with added sugar)

    apparently the internet has robbed people of even a 5 min attention span.

    1. Meat (Think of the animals...)

    2.3 Vegetables/Fruit (Think of the plants)

    All foods will give you cancer. There is no hope. Live off the sun.


    In all seriousness though.... eat ALL the foods!!!

    I remember 2 of them. That's all I made it thru!...
    1. Orange Juice
    2. Whole Wheat Bread

    What is wrong with whole wheat bread? I thought that was the healthy bread to eat. If not, which bread is the best to have?

    Anything is good in moderation within the context of a balanced and macro/micronutrient sufficient diet.

    I am forced to vehemently disagree, as least to a limited degree. Cauliflower sushi is not good no matter how much you eat. Except for that I agree, everything else in moderation.

    I am forced to disagree with you (although I do most respectfully and am in no way bullying or being mean to you..everyone is different after all) - pineapple should never be included in a diet - it tastes horrible and it's horribleness contaminates everything it touches.

    Pineapple is amazing! And on pizza, omg heavenly. Ps I have incredible stomach envy.

    Reported. If there's one thing worse than pineapple, it's pineapple on pizza. What an abomination.

    ^^This. Fruit on PIZZA? WTF, mate??! Whoever decided to bring that terrifying mess into the word deserves to be slapped. Repeatedly.

    I think for people trying to lose weight, it is probably best to avoid donuts.

    I eat donuts regularly and have lost a lot of weight. Difference is, I only have one instead of a half dozen. I agree with whoever said to eat butter and not margarine, other than that, nothing is totally off limits.

    1. Expired food
    2. Food you don't like
    3. Food that has gone bad
    4. Food that's dropped on the floor
    5. That cupcake that your worst enemy made for you with "special" filling

    I have to disagree. If the floor is moderately clean and it's only been there for less then 5 seconds, it's fair game.

    Lol, TRUE! If it passes the 5 second rule, go for it!! Or if you know for sure that the floor is clean, it can be longer than 5 seconds and you can actually eat it directly off of the floor!

    A chef friend also observes The 5-second Rule --but last time I checked, bacteria and viruses don't exactly wake up and make a hasty sprint for a morsel of dropped food. Instead, it is the lucky ones on the floor who attach instantly the moment the food lands on their heads (as it were.) My impression is The 5-second Rule mostly works by allowing you to toss the morsel into your mouth and swallow it before you get a chance to think about it.

    Just saying.

    No. Just no. No respected chef follows the 5-second rule. W..T...F. If I were a health inspector or your friend's boss..they'd be fired on the spot. That's just messed up. And yes, I do know a few chefs..a couple well known executive chefs at that and they'd rage if anyone in their kitchen did that.

    And mythbusters proved that the moment the food hits the ground, it attracts all kinds of crap. The amount of bacteria collected made no difference from 2 seconds to 6 seconds.

    Just avoid poisonus stuff and you are good :wink:

    Yep, drain cleaner will wreck your diet plans. Anything else in moderation.

    I agree with the everything in moderation. My personal experience is that it is something that you are craving, go for a piece of it. There is something in the ingredients there that your body wants, so let yourself have a small helping.

    I watched it. It was stuff I already knew. Margarine/fake butter, Artificial Sweeteners, Soy, Wheat Bread, Juice. I never ate any of these anyway. They mainly say not to eat these because they are so processed. They are the foods people believe to be healthy but are not. Hope that helps!

    not necessairly anything 'wrong' with it. but it has the same GI as white bread and is pretty close in every other nutritional aspect. whole wheat bread is basically the same as white nutritionally speaking, with perhaps a marginally lower GI

    Wheat bread causes an insulin spike. The only "good" kind of bread is sprouted whole grain (like Ezekiel Bread) but warning... it is dry as bricks and nasty

    OP make sure you take the advice from all the "experts" on here. After all they know everything and are very helpful. Their answers are very serious.

    Can someone tell me what these ate without me having to sit though a 20 minute video? I can't seem to get through it. :happy: Thanks!

    Don't worry. There is NO SUCH THING as a food you can't eat, unless you have some allergy or medical condition.

    its pretty much common sense although many will find the whole wheat thing eye opening. if for no other reason then the fact that general mills is spending a lot of money to make the public think theres a huge advantage in eating whole wheat.

    also don't know why soy is supposed to be bad.

    I tried watching that thing and it is WAY more than 5 minutes. I only got through wheat bread, orange juice and margarine.

    I eat Soy. Nothing wrong with it at all. A lot of my ancestors did too so I think it is okay. :laugh:

    Every body is different and reacts differently to certain diet styles/fitness styles. You need to figure out what your body needs as opposed to what it wants. Don't listen to what you should or shouldn't eat. Everything is fine as long as you have it in moderation.

    Simple Carbs, sugar, juices (the kind you buy in stores), soy, and process foods.

    Soy? Really? You're not buying into the phyto-estrogen arguments, are you?

    i'm pretty sure the foods are about 5 min and she rattles them off in one sentance. Plus they are all sitting on the table in front of her. so if you made it to the margrin you saw everything.

    by the fact that a lot of people seem to think they are telling you not to eat bananas, no ones really paid any attention to it at all, or they are totally brain dead
