PSA: Any diet that prohibits certain foods is a bad diet.

sullus

I have an endocrine condition which requires that I limit carbs to lose weight and control my symptoms...

So, no, it isn't a bad diet for me.

Limit =/= Prohibit

jonnythan

Fine, then I need a life time of pain meds, some major anti-diarrhea meds and an epi pen.

You provide me with those, plus a job that doesn't mind me being sick 3-5 days a week, I'll eat every thing under the sun.

Until then, sorry, I will choose to NOT eat the things that make me sick or threaten to honestly kill me (like fish).

You eat whatever the heck you want and I won't pester you about either of our choices and we can both can be happie little LIVING buggers :flowerforyou:

Um why would you eat foods that make you feel sick?

I'm not talking about making a personal decision not to eat foods that make you sick. I'm talking about a "diet" where an "expert" tells you that certain foods are automatically bad.

A large number of people on this thread

jonnythan

who are you to say what is and isn't a bad diet?

moreover, why should people eat foods that make them ill?

seems to me there are plenty of reasons for people not to eat certain foods.

Who are you to do all of that?

He's a Coach. Duh.

You should eat smaller fish.

That'll put a damper on my dinner plans tonight. See my diary :happy:

Mine too! haha I plan to devour half of a pizza tonight. Food bliss! om nom nom

(Food allergies aside and other medical conditions) there is nothing wrong with eating food except how much you consume. Carbs are your friends! Any "diet" is a "bad diet" if youre just in it for the short term success, then enjoy starving yourself (to whom applicable) I've lost weight by not saying no to nom nom foods

I've never had a fish that threatened to honestly kill me. I'd probably leave him alone.

Hearts_2015

Do what works for you and don't worry about other people's choices and maybe then the forum would be filled with less childish topics and people could actually find helpful topics easier.

Right on! I've tried both theories and have to say that eating what you want doesn't work. I feel full of energy and lose weight quicker when I eat healthy.

:drinker:

This thread is in response to me advising to add calories to a diet by eating things like nuts and avocados over pizza.

awww..figured it was in response to something that made sense. Sounds like I missed a good thread:flowerforyou:

Seems this thread was started out in a rather juvenile fashion which would have better fit chitchatgames section. It's threads like this that build my ignore list up.

That's the problem with fish. There's not too many fish of principle left in the world. I think it's because aqua man is losing his grip or something, but there's too many fish dishonestly killing people.

I'd also like to point out that the majority of folks who are jumping in to agree with you are significantly far from reaching their goals.

just. saying.

You might want to double check that. How's it going with *your* goals?

RobinvdM

who are you to say what is and isn't a bad diet?

A person of reasonable intelligence.

ah.

you eat mcdonalds and other fast food every single day, you've been trying to lose 20 pounds for over 2 years, and you seem to believe you somehow have the authority to determine what is and isn't healthy for everyone on MFP?

Im agreeing with the OP and I'm significantly close to my goal.

But how can we get rid of belly fat if we don't avoid 5 foods?

lolol...

ILiftHeavyAcrylics

Agree.

I think that some people like to have a restrictive plan to follow. I'm just not one of those people.

i dont eat meat lol or processed junk i dont eat dairy i like my diet x its improved my health thats all that matters to me x

DandelionCupcakes

I know it has been said, but I want to just...say it again.

There's a difference between not eating a food that makes you sick because it makes you sick, and not eating a food that doesn't make you sick because you're following a certain diet.

And to the previous poster who noticed that people who agreed tend to be a bit farther away from their goals...I have a bit to go, but I've lost a lot too.

Moderation, friends
Life is about moderation, why should eating be any different?
I don't eat foods that make me sick, not because I think they're EVIL FATTY DEATH FOODS but because uh.....they make me sick.

AllonsY, you've only lost 59 lbs? pfft, what do you know?!

But seriously, though, 59 lbs is awesome. Almost as awesome as your username.

DavidMartinez2

When I was pushing weight loss my trainer told me nothing "white and fluffy". That worked for me and I share it with anyone who ask me for weight loss advice.

jonnythan

I should change my ticker to reflect my original weight and goal. Then it would show that I've lost 50 pounds of my 50-lb goal. Then I would have more credibility with certain groups :laugh:
