Who has lost weight NOT eating clean?

I lost 40 lbs YEARS ago eating whatever I wanted, just less of it. This was before kids, before hypothyroidism, and I was 19 though. It's a lot different now with health issues.

Me! I do go over my calories most of the time but it's not a lot but I don't eat clean not at all. For example tonight I'm having pizza. I track everything and try to stay within my calories or a little over. All the weight I've lost has been doing that. I work with what I have because we have limited funds to buy food so my house we buy the things that will last us for a while. I don't snack like I used to though and I drink more water than anything.

yes, your losing but r u healthy? thats why i eat as clean as possible

LMAO!!!!

Just wondering. I hear "ya gotta eat clean!" Drilled into so many people's heads around here I wonder if anyone just sticks to eating fewer calories than they burn and losing weight that way. For now at least, I'm not worried about what I eat so much as how many calories I go through in a day. If I want a bowl of cereal in the morning and then to stop off at jack for lunch and get a jumbo jack and fries, I do it. And I'm actually losing weight doing this. Just adding water and exercise.

I don't eat clean. I don't even know what that is. I eat whatever I want. I don't deny myself anything. As long as I am sticking to the recommended serving sizes on the labels, I know I am eating the correct amount of calories. I eat fast food if i want. Junk food if I want. As long as you stay within your recommended calories for the day, you'll loose. I am. Don't worry about it.

Lose "weight" is pretty indiscriminant. Ive seen very few people with admirable bodies that ate IIFYM. They lost weight but probably slightly less muscle than fat so theyre still squishy and lack the dry, hard, look, that very clean eating affords. If you have psych issues and dietary compliance issues, and you DONT have to look good in front of a camera in the light, go for it.

This is of note for many reasons but most especially for the last part. I personally know some (relatively low level) fitness models who eat "less than clean" but use tren and clen to clean it up. This is standard for those who are paid for how they look and I would do the same. But to pretend that someone who is paid to look good is successful because they eat chicken breast is downright misleading.

Next you'll be telling us that Hollywood actors gain 20 lb of muscle in 6 months through hard work and dedication ::rolleyes:

^ yes! And there are so many factors that can affect weight gain/loss. How you sleep, your stress level...etc

33lbs down in less than 4 months eating, like everyone says, whatever I want in moderation

I too do not eat "clean". I TRY to make smarter choices but still love to eat the bad for you food like bacon, pizza and burgers. I know the weight would come off a whole lot faster if I was much more strict with my diet but I am happy with enjoying everything in moderation and working out most days of the week. It is coming off slow but I know this is something that I can maintain for life.
