I don't eat clean. I won't eat clean. It's a stupid concept.

i worry about calories and macros (and micros) and don't worry what any self-appointed food shamers have to say about anything... ever.
i see lots of people on this site wear "how clean their diet is" as a badge of honor. it's not. it just means you've been hoodwinked into thinking that your success/failure is fully tied up in your food choices. it's not.
if i want rice, i eat rice. if i want an apple, i eat an apple. if i want a piece of pumpkin pie, i eat a piece of pumpkin pie. i don't eat the whole pie. this is how you lose weight and get fit. you don't do it by adhering to lists of "approved" and "unapproved" foods.
maybe i'm too easily irritated this morning, but i'm just sick of seeing people get sucked up into this fad (and related ones) and lose sight of the big picture in the process.

Well that IS what clean eating is.0 -
I don't think clean eating is just about weight loss. It's about not letting unnecessary chemicals into your body.
That said, I don't eat clean. But I do try to eat mostly "real" food, I make most things from scratch.0 -

I think I'll stick to mainly eating clean seeing you didn't provide anything in the way of a persuasive argument not to & just attacked this so called "fad".
Is there a bigger picture? Yeah Get your *kitten* in gear & workout. But without proper nutrition & such a "whatever whenever approach" your body will suffer for it in the end. It's not brain science!0 -
This should end well...

Perhaps you should focus on why you're angry instead of what other people keep in their fridge.
Hope your day turns around.
P.S. You're wearing your resistance as a badge of honor.....0 -

If I forced myself to eat clean, I would be a binger.
I need to be allowed to drink my coffee with cream and sugar, and have pizza, and the occasional bowl of ice cream. If I need to grab a quick burger - I need the freedom to do that.
I rarely even fit my macros - the only thing I try to do is stick within my daily calorie limit and get my required protein.
When I force myself to eat "properly" I become a miserable cranky person who is much more inclined to eat an entire bag of doritos with salsa and sour cream.
When I allow myself to have some treats, I am much happier, and it works better for me.
If you are a clean eater, and happy - great job! But I don't feel it is the only way to achieve success.
p.s. I feel the need to prove visually that this method works for me, so here is a recent progress pic:

^^Ditto--especially on the real food from scratch. But that also means I use *real* butter and cream and sugar. I just use less.
But clean eating can be obsessive like anything else. Everybody just needs to do what works for them.0 -
I agree. I allow myself to choose whatever I would like when preparing meals and snacks. That all includes a variety of clean foods and some processed.0

you don't get extra credit points for your food choices. either you make everything fit your goals under IIFYM or you don't. you can suffer and force yourself to eat stuff you don't want and pat yourself on the back for being superior to everyone else, or you can indulge in occasional treats that aren't "clean" so that you don't have the temptation to binge later.
i don't have to prove to you that the sun is hot. it's enough that i tell you it's hot so that if you were under the mistaken impression that it was cold, you may consider re-evaluating your opinion.0 -
If your gonna post a gif of Homey Da Clown use the animated one!!
I think thats bleached / processed white flour in there. Totally dirty. Baaaaaaaad Homie0 -
Ice cream > clean eating.0

I don't get the concept of clean vs dirty food. My nutritionist laughs at the idea and trend. Don't be afraid of food. If I want a slice of pizza or a few pieces of chocolate or sweedish fish, I should learn how to enjoy these things without eating the whole pizza or bag of candy, etc.
She always says, there is no such thing as bad food. Some of the "clean eaters" are just as annoying as some vegans. Get off your high horse.0 -

call people food shamers, then go on and bash anyone that does something different than you.
Sounds about right, on this site.0 -
