Well, since you posted such a cute gif, I am no longer angry with you.

I'm a special snowflake, so I can still eat all those foods.

Love it!

I did not read the whole thread but I think the gist of it was the open was making fun of another poster. I wonder who that posher is and if he/she understood or if they thought this list was real.

I can assure you that this post was not directed at any one specific person.

What was the purpose of this thread? To make a point? Teach a lesson? Poke fun?

Is it successful when those that "get it" disparage those that don't?

Satire doesn't work if your audience doesn't realize it's satire. At some point it just becomes contempt.

Satire works perfectly when it points out that reality has gotten so jacked up that people can't tell the difference between it and nonsense.

Exactly 100% this^^^^^^^

It would have been easier for you to mention "What to eat" rather than "What not to eat"

I believe in some but not all - You live in today's world if you have to leave ALL these- you better go to the wild and start eating off the trees whatever you get. Food is meant to be enjoyed and cherished but definitely not get addicted to.

Enjoy in moderation and nothing is bad (of course you can't eat cakes, candies, bacon everyday) but things like coffee aaaahhhh ! You know what i am saying !!

I don't know that coffee ever made anyone fat.

I see that you're trying to share some information here, but IMO this is the sort of thing that scares people away from healthy eating, and perpetrates the idea that we all live off lettuce and lemon water.

You can, just make sure to get it uncured. Ham has high sugar and often salt content, and many cured hams have way too high of sodium. But that being said, bacon is a great source of protein, just eat in moderation.

I would like a list with food I can eat!!!!!!!!!

Celery. But only if you swallow it whole so you don't negate the calories with chewing.

Things are still working out great right now.

Thanks for asking.

ETA: I mean, not that I consulted the list even once in the last two years...or even remembered it until a reminder popped up in my calendar.

The fact that you posted this in the first place and the the fact that you put a reminder in your calendar to update 2 years later are indicative of the kind of person you are - which would be my kind of people - full of win

This was a fun post.

LOL, what a ridiculous list! So what is left to eat?!

Seriously, salted nuts? They don't even have that much salt. I have salted nuts every day with lunch and they only have 125mg of salt per serving!!

This list says to cut out GUM...seriously GUM.

It says to cut out coffee! Why? Coffee actually probably helps you lose weight if anything, since it speeds up your metabolism (and causes panic attacks, if you're me).

This is why so many people find it so hard to lose weight. Because they follow restrictive diets like this and then give up and relapse. Junk food is not heroin. With junk food it's all about moderation and amounts.

I only lost 10 pounds, but during my "weight loss journey" I ate fried foods, fast food, hamburgers and french fries, sugar, honey, potato chips, chocolate, cookies, candy, cake and other baked goods, desserts, salted nuts, sausage, T-bone steak, pasta with white flour, cereal, gum, diet soda, and bottled green tea with sugar. I didn't have this all in one day obviously, but these were all foods I had at some point while dieting. And yet the weight still came off super easily because I stayed in a calorie deficit for the majority of days I was dieting.

So yeah basically this article is full of it.

Here's an article I found on the internet that I think everyone should know about. I don't know if everything on this list is true, but maybe it will help you. I found it at http://www.nowloss.com/foods-not-to-eat-when-trying-to-lose-weight-dieting.htm (Yes, I know, people don't always cite their sources, but I just can't plagiarize.)


"The foods you must STOP EATING RIGHT NOW when trying to lose weight are…

You need to stop drinking regular & diet sodas. Quick fact: If you replaced a 20oz bottle of soda with water daily… You would easily lose up to 35 pounds in one year so if you're addicted to soda - go here to see how to stop drinking soda so…
Drink more water, Drink more sugar-free vegetable juices (like V8), Drink more Green Tea and…
Cut down on or try to stop drinking alcohol. Quick fact: Alcohol is basically the refined juice of natural foods which makes it a drink of pure concentrated sugar that will make you gain fat easily and…
AVOID the grocery store snack aisle - Stop eating potato chips, popcorn, cookies, candy, ice cream, cakes, etc. The ingredients in these foods make you want to eat more and the companies who make these snack foods know you'll stay addicted to them (even after you gained lots of weight eating their snacks) but…
The companies don't care if you gain weight because of their snack products as long as they make their money off YOU and if you're addicted to snacks - Read 30+ ways to curb your cravings for snacks, salt & sugar
You need to make a strong effort to cut down on your salt & sugar intake because too much salt & sugar causes you to gain water weight making you look fatter than you already are and…
Avoid processed foods as much as possible because the processing of these foods removes all the stuff that helps you lose weight and replaces it with stuff like sugar, corn syrup and hydrogenated oils to make you fatter so…
Read food labels and avoid anything that has sugar as it's main source of carbs or has corn syrup & hydrogenated oils as ingredients and…
Don't be fooled by the term "Multigrain" since it's just a fancy word for processed carbs and choose "Whole Grain" products only and…
Here's a bigger list of Foods NOT to eat when trying to lose weight…

Fried foods
Hamburgers & French fries
Table sugar
Plain Jam
salted nuts
smoked nuts
refried beans
Baked Beans
Chocolate Fudge
Candy
Toffee
Gums
Boiled sweets
Mint Sweets
Liquorice
Honey - Honey has minimal nutritional value & has the same calorie content as sugar.
Soft drinks
Tinned fruits
Chutney
Pickle
bacon
sausage
cured meats
ham
fatty cuts of steak like T-bone & rib-eye
Puddings
Corn syrup
Fruit juice - It's better to eat raw fruit instead of fruit juice because fruits contain more fiber and the juice will always contain more sugar than the actual fruit.
Cake
Bread made with white flour
Soda pop, such as Coke, Pepsi, Mountain Dew, etc.
All baked goods made with white flour
Coffee
Biscuits
Fast foods
Pasta made with white flour
Canned fruits w/added sugar
Most packaged cereals
Alcohol can slow your metabolism down by 73%
Potato chips
Popcorn
Cookies
Ice cream
Cakes
Pies
All deserts
Artificial sweeteners like Nutrasweet, Equal, Sweet N Low, Sweet Twin, Sugar Twin, Splenda, Sunett & Sweet One
Most bottled green teas have more ingredients in it to help you gain weight than the actual green tea itself to help you lose weight.

They'll all literally make you fat instantly if you touch them, and give you cancer. And make you hate puppies.

Option A: Why are you all so mean? I don't know if everything on this list is true, but maybe it will help you.

or

Option B: Maybe it isn't absolutely essential for your success that you don't eat any of the foods on this list. Perhaps I should have done some more reading first.

In your original post you said " I don't know if everything on this list is true, but maybe it will help you".

Now you are saying that "I don't know if everything on this list is true, but maybe it will help you."

With the number of posts you already know, people don't like others posting facts that aren't facts.
