You need to do some homework before you spout nonsense not everyone wants chemicals dont gripe at others for eating how they want and do your own thing get off your high horse.
Spouting nonsense? Pot meet kettle, unless you can provide a list of all these chemical free foods people are eating
flip over the package and read. Any of that sound like food?
The package of what, exactly?
anything you want to put into your body its at least good to know whats going in
Well you asked if anything on it sounds like food, so it would be helpful if you had a particular item in mind.
However, you don't, so let's take a Pop-Tart:
ENRICHED FLOUR (WHEAT FLOUR, NIACIN, REDUCED IRON, THIAMIN MONONITRATE [VITAMIN B1], RIBOFLAVIN [VITAMIN B2], FOLIC ACID), CORN SYRUP, HIGH FRUCTOSE CORN SYRUP, DEXTROSE, SOYBEAN AND PALM OIL (WITH TBHQ FOR FRESHNESS), SUGAR, CONTAINS TWO PERCENT OR LESS OF CRACKER MEAL, WHEAT STARCH, SALT, DRIED STRAWBERRIES, DRIED PEARS, DRIED APPLES, CORNSTARCH, LEAVENING (BAKING SODA, SODIUM ACID PYROPHOSPHATE, MONOCALCIUM PHOSPHATE), CITRIC ACID, CORN CEREAL, GELATIN, PARTIALLY HYDROGENATED SOYBEAN OIL†, CARAMEL COLOR, MODIFIED CORN STARCH, SOY LECITHIN, XANTHAN GUM, MODIFIED WHEAT STARCH, TRICALCIUM PHOSPHATE, COLOR ADDED, TURMERIC COLOR, VITAMIN A PALMITATE, RED #40, NIACINAMIDE, REDUCED IRON, PYRIDOXINE HYDROCHLORIDE (VITAMIN B6), YELLOW #6, RIBOFLAVIN (VITAMIN B2), THIAMIN HYDROCHLORIDE (VITAMIN B1), FOLIC ACID, BLUE #1.
Flour sounds like a food. The other stuff in the flour, like niacin and riboflavin, are all vitamins and minerals. Corn syrup, dextrose, sugar, and HFCS are carbohydrates, and therefore foods. Soybean and palm oil are oil made of fatty acids and therefore also food.
Those ingredients - flour, sugars, and oils - make up the vast majority of the Pop-tart.
The other stuff are mostly things to make those ingredients taste and look better as well as be consistent and not spoil quickly. Cracker meal, starch, salt, dried fruit concentrates, baking soda, citric acid, corn cereal, gelatin, caramel color, etc. A few colors and preservatives, along with some more vitamins and minerals, and you have a Pop-tart.
and that's the things I don't want in my body if you do that fine eat away I just don't want to0 -

If you mean seeing how much you weigh; well, yes, that's a rather poor indicator of health.Its my firm believe that being healthy is way more important than a scale. I also eat the way I do for ethical reasons but I am not going there because I also don't believe and pushing my spiritual believes on people. But health needs to drive you more than vanity
am I saying eat like an angel all the time uh no but try to be at least a little better
Here's an article with links to studies which suggests it doesn't matter if you eat simple or complex carbs if you're otherwise healthy (but suggests it does matter if you're not.)

Love to hear anyone that has conflicting evidence.
(No, really... I was the same, but have failed to find any evidence that suggests I was correct in my previous views.)

On one side you say you struggle to eat enough calories.
On the other you say you struggle to burn enough calories.
Every study I've seen in to the area has shown that the less you eat, the more weight you lose.
Your weight loss may slow down, but despite all the 'starvation mode' claims, every time it's tested, eating under the calories you burn (even if that's a bit reduced) leads to weight loss.
I do certainly agree that some people have specific allergies and requirements and should thus avoid things that cause trouble.
You read correctly, I struggle with both sides. And studies are made through generalized results based on a group of people. I was not in that group of people. Therefore, I don't fit into the mold that study so neatly popped out for the world to gobble up as gospel.
Eat less doesn't always mean eating fewer calories. You can eat one meal that is 2,500 calories very easily and then fast for the rest of the day. Or you can eat six small meals that total out to 300 calories each, which is 1,800 calories and still doesn't meet the daily recommended amount I am currently set to. Eating six small meals, for me, feels as though all I do is eat. When before, I could eat meal, which clearly was not enough calories to even touch what I was supposed to be eating, and I ignored food for the rest of the day. Thus, the outcome is the body thinks there is a shortage of food and shifts into survival mode by storing the fat that you might otherwise have burned off.
This, that I explained above, has been one contributing factor to my weight gain. Note, I said MY weight gain... meaning, this is my result, for me as an individual. So, if I don't move enough to burn the calories I am supposed to be taking in - I pack on the weight because I won't burn the fat off. If I don't eat enough calories, my body thinks I'm starving and it stores the fat.
So the only solution for me is to eat frequently, making sure I absolutely meet the calories I need and balance it to equal the amount of activity I am capable of. This is what I am doing.
My point was though that obesity has multiple causes, and it's not always from over-eating. Under-eating can be equally an issue, and my other point was that dirty food does exist in some people's lives. It might not be dirty for one person, where as another can eat it and suffer some very bad results.
As you already agreed - We're not all the same - which is why studies often bother me because almost always, studies do not encompass every possible outcome. They generalize. So I've learned to ignore studies and go with how my body handles things. Did you know that 91% of the world is not allergic to penicillin? Well... let's just say that I am not in that 91%. So if a study tells me that people who are sick with an infection and who take penicillin can cure themselves... and I take it, full well knowing I am allergic to it, and then I die - the obvious would mean I am an idiot for following the advice of a generalized study meant for 91% of the world who isn't allergic. So like you said... some people have specific requirements and situations that require or will result in different outcomes, even if they are 1 in 10,000 who didn't get the good effects.0 -

You don't want citric acid? Better never eat an orange or lemon or lime. No corn starch or wheat starch?
You never want to consume vitamin A, vitamin B6, vitamin B12, vitamin B2, or folic acid? Good luck with that, because you'll die if you don't.
I mean, I guess "pyridoxine hydrochloride" sounds pretty scary, even if it is vitamin B6. Never want to eat any of that! Good lord! Thankfully you never do.... except in the Froot Loops and Zone Perfect bar of course.0 -

your confusing chemicals with compounds there is actually a diffrence
FYI, a compound is a type of chemical whose atoms are made of more than one element.
Iron is a chemical, but because it is made of a single element it is not a compound. Salt is a compound, since it is made of sodium and chlorine atoms.
Everything is a chemical. Literally every object that exists in the entire universe is a chemical.0 -

So which ingredient in Pop-Tarts, that don't appear in any of the above foods you've eaten in the past week, are things you don't want in your body?
these items are not part of my normal diet I have been living a month in a hotel I have to eat what I can when I can I don't like these food but I am trying my best with what I have available
Oh I see. When you get back to your normal life you won't be eating pesky things like citric acid, vitamin A, or folic acid.0 -
Well you asked if anything on it sounds like food, so it would be helpful if you had a particular item in mind.
However, you don't, so let's take a Pop-Tart:
ENRICHED FLOUR (WHEAT FLOUR, NIACIN, REDUCED IRON, THIAMIN MONONITRATE [VITAMIN B1], RIBOFLAVIN [VITAMIN B2], FOLIC ACID), CORN SYRUP, HIGH FRUCTOSE CORN SYRUP, DEXTROSE, SOYBEAN AND PALM OIL (WITH TBHQ FOR FRESHNESS), SUGAR, CONTAINS TWO PERCENT OR LESS OF CRACKER MEAL, WHEAT STARCH, SALT, DRIED STRAWBERRIES, DRIED PEARS, DRIED APPLES, CORNSTARCH, LEAVENING (BAKING SODA, SODIUM ACID PYROPHOSPHATE, MONOCALCIUM PHOSPHATE), CITRIC ACID, CORN CEREAL, GELATIN, PARTIALLY HYDROGENATED SOYBEAN OIL†, CARAMEL COLOR, MODIFIED CORN STARCH, SOY LECITHIN, XANTHAN GUM, MODIFIED WHEAT STARCH, TRICALCIUM PHOSPHATE, COLOR ADDED, TURMERIC COLOR, VITAMIN A PALMITATE, RED #40, NIACINAMIDE, REDUCED IRON, PYRIDOXINE HYDROCHLORIDE (VITAMIN B6), YELLOW #6, RIBOFLAVIN (VITAMIN B2), THIAMIN HYDROCHLORIDE (VITAMIN B1), FOLIC ACID, BLUE #1.
Flour sounds like a food. The other stuff in the flour, like niacin and riboflavin, are all vitamins and minerals. Corn syrup, dextrose, sugar, and HFCS are carbohydrates, and therefore foods. Soybean and palm oil are oil made of fatty acids and therefore also food.
Those ingredients - flour, sugars, and oils - make up the vast majority of the Pop-tart.
The other stuff are mostly things to make those ingredients taste and look better as well as be consistent and not spoil quickly. Cracker meal, starch, salt, dried fruit concentrates, baking soda, citric acid, corn cereal, gelatin, caramel color, etc. A few colors and preservatives, along with some more vitamins and minerals, and you have a Pop-tart.
and that's the things I don't want in my body if you do that fine eat away I just don't want to

I am done talking to you hun all you do is twist and twist anything anyone says until you get what you want as an answer I wish you the best0 -
I am done talking to you hun all you do is twist and twist anything anyone says until you get what you want as an answer I wish you the best
Well I did ask you which ingredients are bad that you try to avoid, and you told me vitamin B2, B6, and B12, as well as folic acid, vitamin A, and citric acid.
That didn't require much twisting.0 -

A clean eater would avoid all those ingredients except for perhaps the dried fruits. Including the added vitamins. It is the "added" part that would be avoided.0 -

Before a Mod shuts it down? Highly doubtful0
