Is it good enough o Loose shouldn't it be heathy eating?

No food is "bad". It is about being able to sustain the change and taking baby steps to achieve a lifetime of health. Not everyone can eat clean and stay with it from day one.

I see some diaries and they stay within calories but eat gravies, fried foods , KFC etc and loose weight, but in the end what did ou gain? I try eat clean and I exercise and am maintains Not loosing, so maybe I have it wrong......except I feel better I know my body feels better.......sorry just had to vent today, thanks

You're venting about how other people choose to eat?

You must lead a very pampered life.

Well there is your problem, you can not "loose" weight.

Most people eat a deficit and exercise, that is all you have to do pretty much. The other day I went for a run and was able to fit sugar cookies and crunch n munch in my day AND still have 500 calories left over.

nothing i hate more than loose weight.

I loose quite a bit of weight when I unfasten my belt.

Whats wrong with gravy?

Most of us are looking at long term goals and a little bit of kfc wont kill us ( well it would me but that down to allergies). Most if realise that there is NO bad food just some that are better kept as the occasional treat

Dread to think what you think of my diary as I have sweets and treats daily.

Everybody is different, I love that some of my friends lose weight well on fast food and Cheetos and ice cream and vodka (don't pretend you don't love some of those things sometimes!). I think that is the coolest thing about having many friends with open diaries, I can see how different approaches work for everybody! Lots of people feel great eating that way. The people that don't often have interesting ways of getting in their calories with lots of fruit and vegetables. In the end its about calorie deficit or lack there of that determines whether you lose weight. If you feel you are eating healthy and feel great then awesome, but don't expect to drop pounds if you are eating at maintenance or above...

I have friends in both sides of the spectrum, some eat fast food a few times a week, some are completely vegan. You know what works? Eating what you like and can maintain forever, and keeping it at a deficit until you hit your personal weight/body goal.

Yup this was me:

Hmmm...pretty sure calories in vs calories out equals weight loss...not KFC in vs. rabbit food in...I have KFC on occaision, I just make better choices like the grilled chicken instead of the fried. However, I have a weakness for shortbread cookies and will spend an hour on the eliptical just so I can eat the whole package if I want. Yes, I agree, health is about more than losing (not loosing) weight, but it is also a marathon, not a sprint, and if someone wants to survive on spoonfuls of Crisco, but they are still taking it off, eventually they will get to a point where they need more nutrients than what said Crisco is providing and will open themselves up to new foods...not really your place to decide what is right for anyone but you...unless you have kids..then I make them eat their veggies...
