You will not get fat from eating a banana
You will not get fat from eating fried chicken
You will not get fat from eating ice cream
You will get fat from eating too much of any food. The end.

    No , this is not correct. You have to eat these foods after 7 pm for them to make you fat.

    I challenge you..... eat ice cream and only ice cream for 2 weeks and see if you gain any weight.

    If its within your calorie goal range to lose...you won't gain weight. Calories in, calories out

    As much as I hate to ruin this circlejerk, I spent 5 months counting calories, watching everything I ate. "All in moderation." I didn't lose a damn thing, weight nor inches. But when I watch my carb intake? Boom!

    But if everyone wants to continue to operate under the notion that EVERY single body works EXACTLY the same way, then go ahead. Screw people who do their own thing. Because if it works for you, it MUST work for someone else, right?

    Someone did that with Twinkies, another person did it with beer...they both tracked calories and lost weight.

    Ugh. Just this morning during some volunteer work, I had to listen to several ladies explain exactly what they couldn't eat, corn being one of them. Then they started in on how processed foods caused diabetes. I bit my tongue the entire time until the processed food comment. Then I just mentioned that if everyone was within their ideal weight ranges that the occurrence of adult onset diabetes would be extremely rare. They didn't say much for a few moments before getting back to more mumbo jumbo crap about how the food industry is addicting us to their foods and working their hardest to make us fat.

    Oh, and corn syrup is the DEVIL!

    *deep breath*

    I'm ok now.

    ignorant people find it easier to blame others for their problems than to admit that they are ignorant. the whole weight loss industry makes a mint off of this simple fact.

    ignorance of course just means not being properly informed and it's not a slur.

    Aye. The sad thing though, when you try to make them less ignorant, they fight you tooth and nail like it's their religion. And that's why I rarely say a word.

    Try to explain that to my housemate, she had gone through raw food diet, juicing, blood type diet. Now she's eating the diet set by her personal trainer, no wheat, no dairy, no carb after 7pm etc. She would buy anything that says 100% natural or organic or detox. After 3 years living together, her body didn't change at all. Of course she wouldn't listen to me because I don't have fancy degree in nutrition or an MD.

    If its within your calorie goal range to lose...you won't gain weight. Calories in, calories out

    But you will have high blood sugar and potentially hold onto more fat in your abdomen.... And eating lots of "white" carbs and sugar will make you MORE hungry and will make you want more "white" carbs and sugar... it's an endless cycle which can lead to diabetes or insulin resistance. People should be especially careful or this if there is a family history of diabetes or PCOS. (A lot of fertility issues can be solved by addressing insulin resistance...even thin people can develop this.)

    The story regarding one of the individuals you mentioned. Strangely enough, his cholestorol levels were not out of wack; doctors still can't figure that one out. It's probably due to a fluke as everyone's body is different and results will vary. It must've been a rought diet considering the high calorie/low volume food involved. I'd imagine there weren't many options to stave off hunger for a long time.

    Bananas made me fat. If only I hadn't eaten a banana a day, I would still fit into my college wardrobe.

    Ever wonder why aspirin works pretty much the same way on everyone, but food for some reason affects us all in special, unique ways?

    Could it be that emotional issues surrounding food affect our perception?

    I just had a facebook friend repost that horrible diet campaign thing that you can find here about the '5 foods you should never eat' and how you will lose belly fat if you stop eating them. I had to make a comment, but I wasn't going to argue forever, it's just a waste of time.

    WTF is a blood type diet? I thought I had heard it all when I heard of the HCG diet.

    It's basically a bunch of voodoo that suggests that your blood type will predetermine which foods you should avoid and which ones you should eat a lot of.

    It's nonsense.
