2. NO processed foods.
3. NO margarine (use butter instead)
And WTH is a 'processed' food anyway? Is cutting the tops off of carrots processing? What about peeling them?
As much as people around here like to demonize processed foods, I've still never seen anyone define 'processed.'
Processed means having ingredients that you cannot pronounce.
If you can pronounce all the ingredients, then it's not as processed.
Or at least thats how I like to think of it from what I've read on here.
I've never not been able to pronounce something that's on a label, so that means that I can eat anything because nothing is processed for me.
Awesome. *high fives self*
But really, if it's in a package that has a label, that has more that one ingredient listed, it's probably been processed in some way.
And ultimately, unless you're going out and killing your organic, free-range chickens, plucking them, and then butchering them in your own kitchen, they've gone through processing of some kind to be broken down and packaged to be sent to the store for you to buy.0 -

Can you pronounce all of these?

I just read that aloud. Hydroxyethylrutinosideres gave me a pause, but sounded it out and got it. It's actually fun to say, try it.
So, totally not-processed for me. What it is so I can add it to my clean diet!0 -

I have lost almost ten pounds in three weeks and I've had....
Pizza
Burgers
Pasta
Bread
Rice
Chocolate
Cookies
French fries
Think I'm doing okay. I'll stick to that.
This is the first diet I have been able to stick to full heatedly, and it's because I'm not denying myself anything.0 -
Ah, *kitten*, I've broken most of those rules and SOMEHOW I've managed to lose over 120 lbs. I'm obviously doing something wrong.
0 -
NO thanks0

Perfectly said!!...yeah. I think I'd rather count calories. Restrictions like these are why diets don't work; there is so much that you can't do and so much maintenance. I mean, no bread? No noodles?
No offense. I mean, if it works for you, that is excellent. I don't think I could go without having a (diet) red bull now and then, or a sandwich or some mac n cheese. Portion-controlled, of course.0 -
FloridaKidd40, I don't think anyone is making a personal attack on you. I believe other people are simply standing up for what their beliefs and opinions are on this topic.
Many of the people in these forums have tremendous personal success stories with weight loss and improved fitness. I believe if you interacted with an open-mind and a willingness to learn from others, you would find people on here to be very helpful and generous with their time and knowledge. Personally, I tend to try and listen to people who have been through the process and found success.
In your profile, you indicated that you've started and failed at your weight loss goals on multiple occasions. Your ticker also indicates that you are still at the beginning of this round of weight loss. You also don't have much of a history of posting in these forums (I really don't either in the whole scheme of things). Generally speaking, it does tend to rub people the wrong way when someone comes in with no personal success story and starts preaching questionable beliefs as "facts". Almost everything you stated in your post has some level of truth in it, but it's the extreme way in which you presented the material that gets everyone riled up. Extreme and restrictive diets almost never work. Look to the people who have maintained a successful lifestyle and look to them for guidance, inspiration, and mentoring.
I hope you read this post with an open-mind and at least consider what I've said. Everyone on here would like you to succeed with your goals and have a healthy lifestyle that you can live with forever.

Dunno what everyone has against genetically modified foods. If it wasn't for GM wheats and vegetables, there wouldn't be enough produce to feed everyone and there would be worldwide starvation. I mean, basically everything is genetically modified in some way, especially cereals and grains.0

There are a lot of no's on that list.....0

Things I comprehend from the original post:
1.Adrenaline
2.Cortisol
3.The OP has absolutely no understaning of basic physiology or biology
4. (Therefore) this is a set of completely unsupportable claims with no realistic bearing on 'fat burning'
Things by which I remain baffled:
1. Why people post complete nonsense that they've either pasted from elsewhere without actually understanding it, or that they've made up themselves and presented in an imperative manner when they evidently have no idea what they're talking about
2. How, exactly, they think this will add to their credibility
ETA - having thought about this for five minutes, I realise this sounds really mean (but I'm going to leave it because it bugs me when people post in haste and then delete it)... sorry to he OP - it's just quite frustrating seeing people post things that are very misleading and potentially harmful to themselves and others. Please, read around on the forums a little and try to glean some knowledge from the many people here who are making a great deal of sense - in the long run I think it will help you a lot.0 -

Wrong, wheat has been genetically modified, however it is not widely used. Yet.0 -

Let's see..I have lost almost 70lbs and..
I have drank concentrated juices (not very often)
I have eaten lots of processed foods (because hey, gotta do what fits in with the budget and some of it is good )
I don't do margarine anyways
I have eaten white, whole wheat and multigrain breads regularly
I have eaten lots of bread, pasta and other comfort foods
I am definitely okay with high carb meals
Pies, cakes, muffins, and pizzas do show up in what I eat regularly
I drink green tea when in the mood. Otherwise, it's whatever I want..though 95% of the time it is water.
I am lactose intolerant and almonds can set off my migraines. Plus I'm Asian so eating lots of soy is a definite yes
I love green beans, have eaten snap peas now and again but that's about it.
I have eaten GMO foods
I have eaten protein type bars and granola too
I don't drink sodas often, but I'm not completely against them or any other sugary drink as long as it fits in my day.
I ate canned soups, lots of microwavable popcorn and foods that have been labeled diet and fat free.
I've gone against almost everything you've said and yet...here I am....down almost 70lbs because I ate less and moved more....0 -

GM wheat is currently not grown or eaten anywhere in the world, it has never been on the market.0 -
I suspect the point is that ALL the food we eat has a different genetic make up to what was around 10,000 year ago.
In the case of crops we grow, pretty much all of them have had their genes intentionally altered by humans selectively breeding, or choosing which to grow.
Even more so with animals of course, where it's even easier to choose the ones with the characteristics you like for the next generation.
Also, of course; it's really rather silly to suggest that (by the new definition) 'GM' food is 'bad for you'.
Without some proof either way, it could just as well be a real healthiness wonder drug.0 -
the information I got was from a certified nutritionist.
There's your first mistake.
The "certified nutritionist" I saw said 1200 calories was plenty for me. Uh, no. It wasn't. I eat closer to 1800 or more each day, and I feel great.
Work Hard. Play Hard. Eat Hard.0 -
