    Somebody say Poptarts?

    Gak---I've always thought the regular ones were uninteresting sweetened cardboard with break-your-teeth frosting. "Red Velvet" Pop-Tarts carries it to the next level and on to "repulsive".

    Only if by 'repulsive' do you mean 'hello love get in my belly RIGHT NOW'. :wink:

    Yeah...NO. Over my cold dead body. Which doesn't make much sense and I'm gong to bed since I was up at 5:45 this a.m. :laugh:

    Look at that! SIX vitamins and minerals...and yet people still put them down.

    Exactly! Screw fat shaming, poptart shaming should be illegal

    I like the way you think.

    Well . . . cinnamon Pop-Tarts, lightly toasted, are pretty darn good, especially with ice cream! Then, ummm, you need to go on a 35 mile bike ride to burn it all off. Trade-offs . . .

    I eat pizza, icecream and other "bad" things weekly (they don't sell poptarts in Aus :sad: ).. If it fits in your goal go for it! Life is for living, enjoy the food! Otherwise it'd be boring as!

    First post. Welcome to the forums. Enjoy your stay. :flowerforyou:


    ETA: If it takes you 35 miles to burn off 600 or less calories...you might be doing it wrong.

    To a PopTart

    I can smell your pastry as it toasts
    to a hue of deepest gold.
    My fingers tingle, well aware
    that you'll be too hot to hold.

    When you spring up, I'll have to juggle
    to get you to the plate.
    One pastry in six falls to the floor
    and shatters there, unate.

    But most will make it safe and sound,
    then I breathlessly decide
    to butter them or eat them plain
    or smoosh ice cream inside.

    Delicious, sweet, a toothsome treat,
    you fit my macros well!
    Your critics squawk disdainful talk?
    They can just go to hell.
    Nice!!

    is there a person left on here that doesn't know that a calorie deficit = weight loss regardless of the food choice?

    these threads are so redundant

    I have been on this website for over a year and a half and I have yet to see people talk about how coronary heart disease doesn't discriminate based on weight

    i'm not down with policing health, i think everyone should have authority over what they want to do with their own bodies


    but i don't think people who choose "healthier" options think that they have to in order to lose weight, perhaps they just appreciate plaque-free arteries ... they're probably well aware that they can eat "junk food" and still lose weight

    sooo carrots or pizza, whatever floats your boat

    Plaque free arteries as they are losing weight on a caloric deficit, especially with some exercise...yep

    I'm not sure if there's much point after 20+ pages in this thread, but as someone who has done very boring and restrictive diets in the past (given by nutritionists, doctors, etc) and did manage to lose weight, but eventually gained it all (and even more) back, I found IIFYM liberating. Calorie counting on its own is liberating, as you can eat whatever you like as long as you stay under without the guilt you get when trying to follow a specific diet (and before anyone jumps on me, I don't mean eating "junk" food all day long, but having some chocolate or ice cream and keep losing, something that feels almost like a revolutionary act). And watching your macros (and micros) is such a great guide to do that reasonably, and moreover to see where your diet needs improvement. I still struggle for that, my fat and carbs are usually higher than I'd like, my protein still too low, but that's what I'm working on. I am making progress, a bit slowly, but still, I'm getting closer to where I want to be and at the same time I still live my life normally, going out several times a week, drinking a glass of wine almost every day and eating delicious food every single day. Why did it have to be so restricting and emotionally exhausting in the past?

    Anyway, what I want to say is that I get the point of your post, OP, and actually posts like yours helped me get started a few months ago. Please keep posting such threads, I'm sure they are useful to many others. :flowerforyou:
