    Whatever you do, DO NOT EAT THE POP TART INTO THE SHAPE OF A GUN!!!

    Serious consequences for playing cowboys and indians with pastry. Serious.


    And good for you OP :)

    Yeah that's legit (and sad).

    I love seeing people with 50+ pounds lost on their ticker being told how they should eat by people with 0 pounds lost on their ticker. And of course, the orthorexics who totally miss the point. Context and dosage. Context and dosage. Context and dosage.

    LOL I know right?

    Enjoy your Diabetes and Autoimmune Disease. Processed foods have been proven to contribute to them.

    Ice Cream and Poptarts sound delish ................ just not everyday delish

    Sugar! Consumption of sucrose and high fructose corn syrup does not increase liver fat or ectopic fat deposition in muscles http://www.nrcresearchpress.com/doi/pdf/10.1139/apnm-2012-0322

    Your point is invalid.
    are you saying high fructose corn syrup is healthy?

    I'm saying it's not unhealthy.

    Putting all the scaremongering and propaganda aside, the molecular composition of HFCS is virtually identical to sucrose (table sugar). So I guess it would all depend on whether you consider sucrose healthy (taking context and dosage into consideration).

    Ok, I may or may not be missing the point of this post... so if I am... please don't hate me!

    BUT! I do indulge in some soda every now and then and have still managed to loose weight! Processed foods too. Now, I don't eat/drink all of that every day all day like I used to, but I really do think you can still enjoy the yummy & easy stuff in life every now and then and still loose weight!

    not missing the point at all... in fact, you got the point of the thread.

    you should celebrate with a pop tart. :flowerforyou:

    LOL, I may just do that. ^__^

    Great partial information post and really no way to qualify that kind of diet. Most that live on that kind of sugar intake have energy level issues and other things that come up over time. But if it works for you, have at it. I'll stick to items with better, proven quality calories.

    Cheers.

    I qualify my diet with my weight loss, blood panels, & body composition thank you. Plus my ability to run 20k 3 days a week & lift the other days. Not to mention keep up with my 3 year old. (It's not all I eat geez)

    Of course it isn't all you eat or do. You wouldn't have had such great success if it was. However, the point of your post was to get a rise out of people and solicit response. Had you said, I am able to eat pop tarts and ice cream almost daily as part of a a heavy exercise regiment and eating healthier overall, most people would be agreeing. And how boring is that kind of attention?

    Cheers.

    158 pound lost?
    Good for you, but no surpise how those pounds got there in the first place.

    I would put my nine year old in the corner for saying something like that. What's the adult version of getting put in the corner? Anyone know?

    No they wouldn't, I've seen it too many times.

    When you can eat real strawberries and actually KNOW what you're putting in your body? [/quote]"

    Sure, strawberries are a great alternative when I want a pop tart. If I want chocolate, are you going to want me to have cacao bean?

    Leave it alone. It's not your body.

    You enjoy your strawberries and live a long healthy life, while I slowly kill my body with pop tarts...

    Damn, screwed up the quote...

    I stopped eating Pop Tarts when they stopped making frosted vanilla creme. But the red velvet intrigues me greatly...

    Instead of making a sandwich, I just put a toasted oatmeal strawberry Pop Tart in a bowl with a scoop of strawberries & cream ice cream and had Pop Tart a la mode. The oatmeal ones seem to fall apart too easily.
    ...
    My go-to choice is the Mapley Brown Sugar, but I also bought a big box of Strawberry Oatmeal ones. Don't eat every day, but will once all my macro floors have been hit.

    nutritionally, maybe.

    but in terms of mental health, it absolutely is healthy to eat a pop tart if you want a pop tart. it's such an important component of weight loss and even fitness... not depriving yourself of the things you want. just make room for them in your diet and enjoy them on occasion. we only get 1 life and there is no point being miserable by forcing yourself to avoid foods you enjoy. pizza. ice cream. burgers. fries. cookies. all of these foods are perfectly fine in moderation and will make you much less likely to binge at a later date.

    I will find those red velvet Pop Tarts if it's the last thing I do!

    we have those in Colorado.

    op, this thread is dangerous to the average person who is struggling with their weight. u run 30 miles a week and lift weights so u can get away with these kind of snacks. the average moderately active person trying to loose weight cant do this. it would be more responsible to post why you are able to eat 800cal snacks daily. Are u just showing off?

    but why do that? why replace necessary nutrients with sugar and why feed your sugar addiction at all?

    Maybe the OP doesn't HAVE a sugar addiction ...

    oh she surely does or she wouldnt eat that stuff everyday

    Oh Crap. Does anyone have the number of a therapist who can help me with my apparent chicken addiction?

    In college, I survived off of Pop Tarts and ice cream (my dad had a name for all of his ridiculous concoctions and labeled this as "surprise number 143")

    Unlike most college kids that gain the freshman 15, I lost about 10 lbs eating these on a near daily basis.

    Just because you eat like crap, doesn't mean you shouldn't exercise -- that's what I always said :)

    I would kill for a s'mores Pop Tart right now...

    This is 100% false. I am currently sedentary (recovering from surgery), and I eat ice cream and other snacks daily also. I fit them into my calorie allotment for the day, and I'm still losing.

    The OP's point is that you don't have to demonize food that you enjoy eating to be successful. He didn't say that one should eat junk all day every day. It's not an "all or nothing" thing here.

    A healthy lifestyle does not mean not eating pop tarts. It means not eating a box of pop tarts each day.

    This whole thread is ridiculous. People get so emotional over their junk food. No wonder we have an obesity epidemic in this county. Food has no emotions. Food will never love you back.

    So why feed yourself Girl Scout cookies and McDonald's Angus Burgers?

    You don't have to have an addiction to something to enjoy it. Right?

    Seriously, we are all *big boys and big girls*. We all should take responsibility for what we eat. The OP is not responsible for what people choose to eat. Thank you for judging the OP and chastising them though. This has been fun.
