    Oh and protein bars. Many have as much sugar as a candy bar.

    so much this.

    That banana you ate? Has as much sugar as a Snickers

    Snickers have legumes in them.

    Other people. I figured nutritionally, they must be exactly what we need. But they're all too fatty now.

    I'm just going to eat what I want going forward. Why even bother? Life is too short and eating anything I want makes me happy.:love: I love food.

    The "bad" foods...

    Fruit, Vegetables, whole grains, not whole grains, dairy, soy, anything with chemicals in it, anything without chemicals in it, water, sugar, alcohol, legumes, nuts, eggs, egg whites, egg substitutes, herbs, spices, sugar again,...

    f'in paranoid MFP universe...

    if you all are happy and seeing success eating whatever foods you want, then great! but if other people choose to live a different lifestyle than you, why does that give you the right to criticize and troll their threads? the guy was asking a simple question, and half of you jumped in here to flame against people who are more meticulous about their diets. I don't do lactose, and I have currently cut out grains as well. Does that make me orthorexic or paranoid? Absolutely not. I love food and I love my life. But I also am fascinated by the human body, and in my research I've learned some amazing things about how the body can heal itself and work at its optimal level if you feed it the nutrients it really wants - so that's what I strive to do.

    You don't have to agree. That's your choice. But why do you all feel the need to flame people who view things differently than you?

    Peanut butter. There's something about how it doesn't really have a lot of protein compared to some other lower-fat foods.


    I don't like peanut butter really, either, so it doesn't much matter to me.

    NO.

    You take that back.

    Peanut butter does NOT belong in this thread.

    I learned from a number of MFP users that it is essential to avoid "chemicals" in foods.

    This has been very hard for me, I keep looking and it seems like EVERYTHING is made of chemicals!

    I'm doing my best, no food, no liquids, I avoid contact from people, plants, and animals.

    It's probably trying not to breathe that I have found to be the hardest part.

    ^^^^ this

    and i closely monitor my life and if i am even on the verge of enjoying anything or having , dare i even say it, fun .. I stop IMMEDIATELY

    "low fat" anything... really, what's the point? enjoy regular ice cream, it'll get rid of the craving you're having anyway. :p

    No food is "off limits" for me. I give my body what it craves and make sure I get a good, balanced, nutritional diet.

    There is a study somewhere showing that reading this thread is giving you cancer.

    That's more believable then a banana being unhealthy....

    Baby carrots are cut from larger "imperfect" carrots. They are not 'bred". They are rinsed in a chlorine solution, then rinsed again with clean water. Do you not wash your veggies before eating them?

    Not in bleach, I don't!

    Really? So you use tap water? Which contains chlorine? Which is bleach?

    Baby carrots are made from bigger imperfect carrots. Something tells me that the shavings from the baby carrots are the shredded carrots, but I could be wrong...

    Stating one avoids foods with chemicals isn't a different view, it is wrong. Everything is made up of chemicals, so avoiding foods with chemicals is impossible. Perhaps, if folks don't want to get flamed, they should be more careful what they post.

    Cutting them doesn't. But the reason you cut them might.

    because my voice works better when i dont ingest dairy and i experience less inflammation and have more energy when i don't eat grains?

    orthorexic?

    when they say chemicals, they mean man-made synthetically produced chemical additives.

    orthorexic?

    It doesn't sounds like it. Unless you believe they are bad for everyone based on your symptoms.
