PSA: Any diet that prohibits certain foods is a bad diet.

Amen !

But but but carbs = death

But but but sugar = death

But but but pop tarts = death

So in :bigsmile:

Tis true.

YAY

you'se mah hero.

Couldn't agree more!

You are correct!

who are you to say what is and isn't a bad diet?

moreover, why should people eat foods that make them ill?

seems to me there are plenty of reasons for people not to eat certain foods.

Well if a certain food makes someone ill, why would they eat it?

That's not a diet plan banning a food. That's a personal preference not to eat a food. Big difference.

Even if said food requires an EpiPen chaser?

Codicil the first: Any diet that identifies a miracle food is a bad diet.

who are you to say what is and isn't a bad diet?

A person of reasonable intelligence.

ah.

you eat mcdonalds and other fast food every single day, you've been trying to lose 20 pounds for over 2 years, and you seem to believe you somehow have the authority to determine what is and isn't healthy for everyone on MFP?

I'd also like to point out that the majority of folks who are jumping in to agree with you are significantly far from reaching their goals.

just. saying.

I have an endocrine condition which requires that I limit carbs to lose weight and control my symptoms...

So, no, it isn't a bad diet for me.

*sigh* If only there were a way to distinguish between voluntarily removing a food from your diet because your diet plan prohibits it, vs. the necessity of removing a food from your diet due to medical reasons such as food allergy or food intolerance.

But... I guess there's no such way to make that distinction!

Fine, then I need a life time of pain meds, some major anti-diarrhea meds and an epi pen.

You provide me with those, plus a job that doesn't mind me being sick 3-5 days a week, I'll eat every thing under the sun.

Until then, sorry, I will choose to NOT eat the things that make me sick or threaten to honestly kill me (like fish).

You eat whatever the heck you want and I won't pester you about either of our choices and we can both can be happie little LIVING buggers :flowerforyou:

Who are you to do all of that?



Also - so IN!


PSA - if you have a medical condition that makes eating certain foods dangerous or uncomfortable, by all means you should avoid those foods as a part of your medical condition. If you have no medical conditions, there is no reason to avoid any certain foods, as they will not be dangerous or uncomfortable to you.
