Clean Eating DOES make a difference

So you are combatting Darwinism? Why do you hate science?

You. I've decided, I like you.

There.

Would share pretzel burger with.

Let's not get out of control, now... this is a pretzel burger we're talking about. Maybe I could find a BOGO coupon to share.

You just tickled my frugal bone.

Don't know where you guys live, but in NC if you dress up like a cow and go to chick fil a they give a free meal today! I am making cow outfits as I read this discussion...

Oh yeah!!! Thanks for the reminder! Free meal for me today. Woot.

I'm trying to decide if I could fit a Pretzel burger in diary today. I may be over my sodium.

For a mere 680 calories!!! forget the sodium lol..... drink a couple extra glass of water tomorrow... By the sounds of it. it will be worth it!!!! :drinker:

It comes with cheddar cheese sauce and cheddar slice... i nix one or the other and that is a good 100 calories off and probably 100sodium. I retain like crazy so I have to be careful. It blows but IT FITS!

Confession: I did actually forgo the cheese sauce when I had mine. /hangs head in shame

The cheese sauce isn't bad. 20 calories. The slice is 80.
If I add in my own blue marbled pepperjack cheese (80 calories) and nix both the sauce and cheddar slice: OMG I MAY DIE HAPPY

It wasn't a matter of calories for me, I just didn't want cheese sauce+mustard making it hard to eat. I don't like to work to get my food in my mouth.

I wonder if all the people that felt the NEED to detract from the OP success by inserting their own ideology also think it is appropriate and classy to use thir phones in public bathrooms.

Nope, not a single one in a public bathroom.

You look wonderful! Congrats on all your hard work and results. I haven't read all the pages in this thread so I'm sure this has been said before, but I'd say the difference in your appearance would be attributed to your weight loss, not necessarily clean eating. People lose weight and get fit without eating clean. It's great that you found what works for you, though

I'll just eat it like this:

Dirty dog eating + exercise = 156 pound loss.

BOOM

I EFFIN LOVE YOU!!!!!!

Way to go! I'm surprised by the lack of supportive responses.

You must be new here.

LMAO!

Anyways, eating 800 calories a day = lack of support.

just popped back in to take notes:

-pretzel burgers at TWO locations
-Capitalizations in Thread title may have caused the raucus
-hide crazy theories in success threads
-no sauce on pretzel burger
-no sharing pretzel burger
-no waiting for coupon for pretzel burger
-hide from people dressed as cows today, resume hiding from zombie apocalypse tomorrow
-always high five and back pat any success thread even if my back pat pushes the person over the cliff they are running towards

Thanks but I'm on hold to dress like a pretzel for pretzel burger day.

Actually, I think you'd have to dress up like a nacho chicken patty...(the whole opposite thing, i.e. cow=free chicken, nacho chicken patty=free pretzel burger)

what if I just dress up like a slutty cow? in july?

Oh, I thought about it!

after clean eating AND working out ...13lb loss

You look great so congrats to you.

Now, one a real note, I'm gonna say the fact that you ate what basically amounts to my dinner calorie wise and then worked out is why you lost weight. Eating less processed food may have made you feel fuller longer, which is why eating a cup of kale, berries, and a banana didn't drive you to drink but that doesn't make your method superior to my method of 1825 calories with the occasional slice of cake or pop tart or ice cream or Bacon Pretzel Burger or...

Oh, bacon pretzel burger.

:laugh: I want one!!

What you posted isn't clean, by my definition.

So, I'm not sure what you are suggesting? Are you saying that you were working out and eating dirty then you cleaned up, sort of, and you lost the extra? Or are you saying with a combo of diet and exercise, you lost? Because, I have a pretty strong argument that clean or dirty, in a caloric Deficit, with exercise, you would get the same result.

^ See this is the issue I have with "clean." No one agrees on what it means and it seems to be used by many has a battering ram to attack people that don't eat "as clean" as they do. I've had friends get PMs with outright "you're gonna die" messages. It's absurd. There are about 2-3 people on here that actually promote eating fast food all the time, and funny enough it works for them. Most of the rest of us are simply saying don't beat yourself up about eating a few hundred calories a day of something you like and genuinely enjoy. I don't know why this concept is so hard for some people to wrap their heads around. It's not all or nothing. It's about a healthy diet with moderate treats and a healthy attitude towards food. It works for a lot of us. Stop hating food.

Most important piece of this statement "It's about...a healthy attitude towards food. Stop hating food."

Frankly, at my present weight, I feel like having to dress up like a cow for free food is just adding insult to injury, but free is free. (and I'm taking my kids before anyone thinks I am too pathetic)...How would a slutty cow dress in july? A maxi mini dress?

Wow this thread is a bummer.

It is great that other people want to dispel myths, and present more knowledge....but as someone else said...the blatant, in your face delivery is just RUDE.

What you find rude, I find the over sensitivity of the offended. People need thicker skin.

It seems many of you are getting hung up on her definition of 'clean' I am experiencing similar results to what the original post suggests. I operated in a fairly significant caloric deficit for a month with very little results. When i switched to a more 'clean' diet with the same caloric intake and same exercise i started losing. what works for some doesn't work for all. I understand that science teaches us that a lb = 3500 calories and I would not dispute that. 1000 net calories a day only counting calories produced very little change. 1000 net calories a day with either grilled chicken or white fish and some steamed green veggies with things like almonds as snacks produced noticeable results in 3 days. some may not like it, but its been the only thing that has worked so far so i'm gonna rock on with it.
btw, you look great.
