Eating pizza, pop tarts, & ice cream while losing weight

magerum

Doable & delicious. That's, part of, what I had for dinner last night. I was completely within my caloric goals for 1+ lbs a week of loss. Also hit my macro and micro needs, quite well.

It can be done. Don't let people demonize food you love and enjoy. You can work them all in both calorically and nutritionally. For the record, I don't eat pizza every day. Rarely, to be honest. I do however eat ice cream (a pint) and pop tarts daily. Every. Single. Day.

It's been awhile since I've posted something like this, but when the food shaming and demonizing threads creep up to certain levels (like recently) I do find it helpful to point out the other side of the story.

Carry on and have a good weekend!

Eat foods you love..... just do so while fitting them into your macro goals for the day.

Done.

DAMN YOU AND YOUR POPTARTS. The red #40 gives me migraines and I can't take any medication for them for like another 6 months. Oh I am going to eat so many poptarts when I have my pills back

since there's no known causes of diabetes, besides weight being a contributing factor, I'd say that comment was irrelevant.

are you still trying to lose weight? you have alot of calorie intake and your pottasium and sugar is pretty high. are you just trying to maintain?

I see nothing wrong with having treats. Or really eating whatever I want as long as I stay within my calories and my macros and still get good, sensible nutrition.

I frequently have one poptart as my eveing snack. Or a single serve cup of Edy's slow churned ice cream. Every couple of weeks, hubby wants a pizza for dinner, no problem. Even a Five Guys little burger and fries once a month. Granted, I make sure I get a good run in if we are having Five Guys for lunch / dinner.

I have a Snickers almost every day... sometimes twice. And I have never felt or looked better.

Food shaming is so 2008.

Some people just want to lose weight.

Some people want to actually be healthy.

Enjoy your crappy processed foods.

Don't do it! Yes if it fits your diet you can do it but sugar makes you crave sugar so you are really only making it harder on yourself. If you keep tossing pizza and icecream at your taste buds how do you ever expect the healthy food to compete? Use it like it is meant to be used - as a treat.

Any excuse to get a good run scheduled!! I love iifym and not feeling deprived!

Pointless thread is pointless thread. Different strokes for different folks. Some people have to cut out all 'junk' food when they are changing their diet. For some people the only approach is to cut it out. It's similar to stopping drinking/drugs. Some people just have to stay away from what made them fat. They cannot do it in moderation.

What suits one person with their weight loss methods may not suit Joe Bloggs next door. Doesn't mean either is right/wrong. They just do it differently.

Enjoy limiting yourself when you don't need to to be healthy.

So much of this! My husband loves snacks and always wants something like cake or cookie :grumble: I knoW I'll eat more then I should so I just dont eat them.

I have no problems with any of the above either. Although I haven't had any pop tarts recently just because I haven't felt like buying them. Did have pizza and ice cream though! I go over in my cals a couple times a week too but I'm still losing 2/week when all is leveled out.
