Low fat product trap.
Seriously, you know better, don't do it. It's unwise.

    This is your brain. This is your brain if it were an egg on drugs.

    Ah, PSA.

    This one time I cooked an egg in coconut oil. I ate it, drank the oil, ate the pan and my chest hair grew an extra 2". It was interesting.

    Yeah, people have been brainwashed with low-fat since the 90s. And they fall for all of the processed junk food that's marketed as healthy diet food instead of eating one ingredient foods (vegetables, beans, rice, nuts, meat, fruit) that the body recognizes and can handle better.

    most of the time low fat items are terribly processed and full of chemicals. I like to focus on the original stuff and just work on portion control.

    I know right. 1200 calories is crazy! Those people will go into starvation mode and die a horrible flabby death.

    low fat stuff is usually pretty tasteless. If I'm gonna do portion control...those portions are gonna taste rockin' good! besides, a little fat or oll makes you feel satisfied with what you ate longer!

    I read this wrong at first. I thought you wrote "bacon of awesome". I was like...yes...yes, bacon is awesome. Lol. I think I'm calorie deprived. I only ate 1200 calories today. I need a piece of bacon... Haha

    Lol
    I am on a 1200-1300 cal diet and i am not starving myself at all.
    I eat small low calorie foods every 2-3 hours and i feel full all the time. I dont have any crash period through out the day.
    Feel energetic.
    1200 diet isnt for everyone.
    I am not really heavy person and spend most of my day on my *kitten*.
    If i was more active then i am now i would probably struggle with my current diet but right now its good enough for me.

    lmao.. not quite.. but hey.. to each their own. :~) what if 1200 is an *increase* from what was being eating.. then the body is like.. wow.. i'm getting food.. lets start working properly again! whoohooo..

    Actually i just bravely upped my calorie goals to 1600 starting tomorrow. We shall see if I can hit it everyday. :~)

    Sorry but you are so, so wrong. Again this is hold over from bad information from the 90's. Eating cholesterol does not get suddenly deposited on your arteries, it is broken down like everything else we eat. Also, there is nothing wrong with fat in moderation, eggs contain some of the healthiest fats. A balanced diet is key, protein, carbs AND fats are all essential.

    LOL. People can get really harsh on here at times especially when they are defending their choice of life style.. do we dare mention the word "diet" and "Do they work"

    Bumping because I saw a low fat thread.

    As for the mean thing? I'm mean because I'm mean. You, a kitten, a cute little meerkat. Doesn't matter, I'll give you a glower.

    That's a funny word, glower. Is there power in a glower? Will it engender fear if you cover yourself in flour, and then glower while screaming I have the flour power?
