    Yes, I make room on the weekends to eat 2 donuts every Saturday (and have done so while losing weight for 4 months).

    Yes, you can eat junk food and still lose weight if you're under your calorie goal.

    Absolutely! I eat a few squares of dark chocolate or ice cream every day !!! As long as you stay in a deficit you can eat whatever you want. It really is that simple.

    Eating one chocolate bar a day is not "eating junk" and it's not unhealthy.

    Yep. The reason people gain weight isn't necessary WHAT they eat... it's HOW MUCH. Now... of course you're not getting the nutrients your body needs from eating nothing but chocolate all day... but if you hit your micros/macros with a little bit of chocolate included... why not?

    I eat frozen yogurt (in place of ice cream) nearly every day... I drink wine (only 1 5oz glass) nearly everyday... and most days I also have chocolate (1 fun size candy bar)... and I'm losing. If you understand how your body works then yes, it is possible and it does make sense!

    Yes, you can.

    You need to reject "diet" mentality. Then things will become much easier...

    yeah. chocolate doesn't mean you're going to gain overnight. If you eat a whole bag of fun size snickers in one sitting repeatedly, then probably. Moderation, moderation, moderation!

    **sense

    Edited to add that people say eat healthy because it is typically more sustainable to eat healthy foods. They have more nutritional content your body craves and will fill you up better than say, a bag of chips will. It's ok to eat foods that aren't so nutritious sometimes, too.

    Ok... what you just said makes no sense. 1) your body needs protein to build muscle, repair your skin, etc... your whole body is made of protein so without it you would die. You're not going to get the protein you need from Doritos. 2) your body needs vitamins (iron, vit a, vit b, vit c, vit d, zinc, omegas, etc) for proper organ function, eyesight, healthy nails, hair etc... you will get VERY LITTLE of that from "junk food" 3) Heard of Diabetes? Heart Disease? Lots of other similar nasty things? Yep... that's another reason to eat MOSTLY healthy.

    The short answer is Yes.

    However, it truly depends on if you can handle it or not. I know some that can be satisfied with a piece of candy or a scoop of ice cream; and then I know some that have one and cannot stop. I myself fall closer to the first type, though it's best for me to plan out my day early so I know if I have room.

    Yes, it makes plenty of sence, you will loose weight and still be healthy if you get all your nutriants from other foods!

    Yeppers. And bacon too.....or chocolate covered bacon to get both at the same time.

    Seriously, unless you plan on never eating chocolate ever again why not practice moderation?

    From the standpoint of weight loss in a vacuum, it doesn't matter at all what you eat. Just so long as you eat fewer calories than your body needs. For health, your body needs a certain level of macro and micro nutrients. Chocolate doesn't necessarily provide a whole lot of these. Chocolate is also very calorie dense-meaning a small volume of it is a lot of calories. For the most part, eating lean proteins, veggies, etc will yield a much higher volume of food, and substantially more in the way of micronutrients (and macros other than carbs) than chocolate does. But chocolate isn't bad, and if you meet your macro and micro nutrient needs and still have calories you can consume and be at the desired deficit, then why not enjoy some chocolate?
