      you'll be happy to know Oscar Mayer and Great Value both make Turkey Bacon that's 35 cal per slice, andButterball makes one that is 25 cal per slice.

      turkeys can't make bacon.

      Both beer and burgers contain a ton of calories and the burgers have a ton of fat and limited nutrients as well. I say definitely on the avoid list. Also anything processed is not optimal for good health or weight loss. I stick with whole foods, as close to they come from the ground is the BEST for optimal health and weight management :)

      Restricting yourself from eating the foods you love can send you into a wild binge. It is not only good for sustainable long-term habits, but it is certainly healthy and good for overall weight loss to indulge periodically.

      Processed foods (including things like chips, cookies, frozen dinners, pizza, pretty much anything you can buy from a drive-thru window - and, in my opinion, most chain restaurant meals, period!) are, overall, good to avoid.

      Of course you should have some of your favorite item PERIODICALLY if you absolutely love it - but it's all about moderation!

      I highly recommend against depriving yourself of any foods because you will eventually break. And it won't be pretty!

      If you're exercising regularly, why not enjoy what you eat?

      I've been looking into almond and rice milk for just these reasons. Got any suggestions for getting calcium for those with milk allergies?

      Edited for spelling.

      Almond milk is awesome, I love the Blue Diamond brand...rice milk is ok...kind of bland...

      I don't think anyone who has done a lot of nutritional research will be eating meat, from a health standpoint animal proteins are very closely linked to cancer and cardiovascular problems.

      For me, the obvious foods to avoid (always) are

      Muffins
      Donuts
      Cake/pies
      French Fries
      Chips
      Regular Soda
      Deep Fried Chinese food

      Pretty much everything else, I allow myself to indulge in moderation. Last week, I went out for a burger and a beer, felt great the next day. Now, it was just a burger with lettuce tomato and raw onion. No high fat toppings and no fries. And, just one beer. And no dessert.

      Foods that you cannot eat in moderation
      Foods that make you hungry 30 minutes later and cause you to over eat (sugar, white flour, white rice, white bread, white pasta; these items spike your blood sugar and then 30 minutes later (or there abouts) you blood sugar drops and cause hunger pains again, so you eat more...causing you to consume more calories and fat then you realize....now I realize there are a few people, this may not effect but for the overwhelming majority...just say no to over processed foods or LIMIT them) -- instead stick to their WHOLE GRAIN (fiber rich) counter part.

      I'm happy to know regular bacon is also 35 calories, sometimes has more protein than turkey bacon, and tastes a helluva lot better.

      I watch the news, I've seen all the hype about how evil red meat is, at least until the next report comes out with a surprising announcement that eating more lean beef actually INCREASES (insert health statistic here.) Look at how they can't make up their minds about eggs! I fully intend to continue consuming my ribs, my steak, my burgers, and whatever else it is I make from my red meat.

      a fresh burger, with lean beef, and some veggies on it has limited nutrients?
      please go.
      :laugh:
      That's what I was thinking. People have a very different idea of nutrition than me.

      More sensationalist nonsense.

      Exactly! Even on a super low-cal diet, you can have two slices of bacon as part of a well-rounded breakfast, or lunch, or dinner, or snack. Bacon is versatile that way!

      I don't avoid any food... I limit my choice and I use it in moderation. I love me some ice cream, or a snack of individual size chips. I not longer buy any of that is full servings (gallon ice cream, big bag of chips) because stores sell it all in individual sizes which helps with portion control

      Deep fried sticks of butter.

      I don't know if I "avoid" anything but I do limit (as in eat, but small portions, once in a while):

      Fast food
      Anything Fried
      Regular pop
      Sugar (including fruit)
      Coffee (it's super addictive to me, I could drink coffee all day and skip food)
      Crackers, carby snacks (just a waste of calories and carbs, I think)
      Breakfast cereal

      I always avoid anything deep fried.
    • Posts: 411 Member
      The only thing I absolutely avoid is POP!!! I drink beer once or twice a month, and I eat cheeseburger or pizza once or twice a month. If I say I will never eat it or I can't have it, it's all I want. I think everything is ok in moderation. But I have noticed how bad food choices make me feel crapy after eating them anyway.

      Deep fried sticks of butter.

      I've had people ask me if I eat sticks of butter plain.

      (The answer is 'no'...but I've never tried it deep-fried though...)

      It's anti-nutritive if it isn't fermented.

      Spend a few minutes doing some research, and you won't want to eat soy again.


      No it's not.

      clearly we don't know how to read........

      Spend 5 minutes reading about soy, and you'll realize that you're much better off eating meat. There is a reason some vegans and vegetarians aren't jacked.
