Learn What it means to "Eat Dirty"

I had posts nearly identical to this thrown at me last night to try to convince me I had to eat stuff I don't like. Your version of the OP's "intention" of the post is not how it was taken by the people trying to use things indistinguishable from it against my preferred way to eat.

Those individuals should leave you the heck alone, and let you eat exactly how you please. The choices you make are none of their, or our, business.

And clean eaters should leave IIFYMers alone, and let us eat exactly how we please, and stop telling people that they are going to get cancer if they don't move to an all raw, all organic, non-GMO diet.

The IIFYM ideal is not hard to understand - eat to satisfy your nutritional requirements and calorie allowance, and don't label any food as inherently bad. It does not require you to eat anything you don't want to eat - that's the point. In fact, you can follow the IIFYM ideal while also following any 'lifestyle diet' you please - clean eating, paleo, vegan, etc... The lifestyle diets will simply reduce the choices you can make to fit your macros.

They see me Chewin', They Hatin'......Tryin to catch me eatin dirty!!!

Love this ^

Food Porn!! that is what those pics are!

I liked 8 out of 10. The ones with the ice cream and the Hostess pies and the cookies didn't appeal to me, but the pizza - you are under arrest!!! that and the 1st fruit pic looked the best.

My maintenance man said he was going to start eating clean and I asked him, "what, you're gonna start washing your fruits and vegs'?" (ah, yes, sarcasm abounds with me often) Then this week he tells me he has been eating at the all you can eat chinese buffet, "because they have a hibachi that is mostly clean."

Yeah, I snorted when I heard that...seriously, I thought he meant they washed it regularly.

I do wonder what happened to "empty calories" though...seems that was the buzz words when I was a younger woman. :ohwell:

In to wallow in the dirty eating...

:flowerforyou:

I of course love this post and am not sure why it's in chit chat as it's a thousand times more useful than 95% of the other bs that's posted on these forums.

but um. y u have asparagus as a no no food???? asparagus is delicious. I vote for lima beans to take its place

I can give one reason...

Stink stank stunk

I thought the smelly pee was a myth

NOT a myth. Never EVER eat asparagus within 36 hours before anticipated conjugal relations. Unless your significant other really has a thing for week-old dead fish.

been there done that. never had complaints. maybe I didn't eat enough of it or i truly am a special snowflake. I like option #2.

I vaguely remember that not everyone has the gene that makes asparagus pee...

...so yes, it could be a special snowflake situation...

...but I could be completely making that up. Either way, I'm too lazy to google it.

I'm with this sentimentl. Brussels sprouts and black licorice need love too.

SO, isn't this dirty eating?

I just googled and scientists are undecided whether I lack the genes to produce the smell or if I just am unable to smell it. given my, ahem, past positive feedback even after eating it I believe I am the former. i am a special snowflake. science says so!

Scientists did not diagnose you themselves so to say that is your specific condition because "science" is invalid. Self-diagnosing =/= fact. If you really want answers, I suggest you talk to your doctor and get tests done.
