Beating the dead horse again, are we? Why are you so offended by the notion that some people don't want to eat EVERY food available on this planet?
Not eating a food because you don't want to/are allergic to it is very different from not eating foods you WANT to eat because some diet expert told you not to.
That's what this is about. Denying yourself foods that you want, because some "diet plan" says you have to, is bad.
That's a HUGELY important distinction you just made! I DO eat the foods I want, when I want them. I just WANT to eat "clean" foods more often than not!
I don't WANT to eat gluten 95% of the time. I don't WANT to eat dairy 95% of the time.
if you're cutting something out you enjoy, then obviously that's not a good idea. but that's why your inflammatory, blanket statement of a post that you made just to start a ****storm was ill conceived in the first place. If you cut things out of your diet, and you FEEL BETTER for having done so, and thus enjoy life without them, tell me how that's a bad diet.

from the day we're born we start dying, ain't no way out & no going back
so, do what you want to do, drink what you want to drink and eat what you want to eat,
in moderation :glasses:
aka, don't do what you want, or eat what you want, or drink what you want. because if it was what you wanted, you wouldn't have to limit it.
It's dinner time here in the UK, I want a beer before my dinner so I'm going to have one; doesn't mean I want 20 :glasses:
If you do find yourself wanting 20, consider a bottle of whisky. It's more efficient.0 -
Really you want argue over the fact his ticker isn't facing the right way for you to understand it, despite the big zero pounds to go right in front of you? Which clearly show's he has reached his goal.
*pat on head
Have fun with that.
clearly he hasn't, if he's trying to gain weight.
Have fun with working on your reading comprehension. *pats on head*
lol the gaining weight is for funzies. like i said, my health markers kick *kitten*.0 -

Ill-conceived? Or perfectly planned?0 -
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?
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.

Gluttony is a great fault; but we do not necessarily dislike a glutton. We only dislike the glutton when he becomes a gourmet...that is, we only dislike him when he not only wants the best for himself, but knows what is best for other people.
GK Chesterton quotes
"Our fear of hypocrisy is forcing us to live in a world where gluttons are fine, so long as they champion gluttony."
Jonah Goldberg
“Everything in this room is edible. Even I'm edible. But, that would be called canibalism. It is looked down upon in most societies.”
― Tim Burton, Charlie and the Chocolate Factory
“Am I tough? Am I strong? Am I hard-core? Absolutely.
Did I whimper with pathetic delight when I sank my teeth into my hot fried-chicken sandwich? You betcha.”
― James Patterson
“He who is not contented with what he has, would not be contented with what he would like to have.”
― Socrates
Gluttony is not a secret vice.

It didn't start a ****storm. The comments in this thread have been almost universally supportive of the idea. And the only people who disagreed are the ones who intentionally misunderstood the OP.
Again: if a "diet plan" tells you that you're not allowed to eat certain foods, it is a bad diet.0 -

In the same breath, a diet plan that tells you to eat everything you want whenever you want is a bad diet plan. The entire point of everything is to moderate yourself, and do what makes you feel better. Aka, you saying that someone doing paleo or whatever diet they want to do is bad, then you're just as wrong as they are.
Why does everyone have to be so mean?0 -

"Eat everything you want whenever you want" sounds like a pretty bad diet plan, yeah.0 -
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.

*sigh*
you didn't say "diet plan", you said "diet" which are two different things in real life.
had you said "diet plan" i'd have agreed with you, but you enjoy starting posts that roll and start flame wars... so... i guess, well done?0 -

I don't think that's even mildly true, everyone focuses on calories and not on adequate nutrition. Bread isn't good for you, candy isn't good for you, red meats aren't that great for you. There are a lot of health benefits to cutting unhealthy foods. I WANT hot Cheetos, but they make me feel terrible there's not redeemable value in eating a lot of processed foods. There's nothing wrong with cutting the bad habits, and you're lying to yourself if you're not willing to do the research and tell yourself that it's healthy when it isn't.0

This is awfully close to body shaming. I don't think this is appropriate.0
