MAKES NO SENCE

yes but why does it matter if its healthy or not? as long as your losing weight thats all that really matters , it makes no sence how people say eat healthy eat healthy, when you can still eat junk food and loose weight, IT MAKES NO SENCE

People say you should eat healthy foods because it's, you know, healthy. You can certainly lose weight eating nothing but junk, but you won't be getting all the nutrients you need and eventually you will have problems.

I don't think there's anything wrong with "junk" or process foods, but you need to balance those things with healthy foods like fresh fruits and vegetables, nuts, fish, etc.

Absolutely. I'd probably cry real tears if I couldn't eat ice cream, pizza, fast food (endless list of awesome foods?). I just make sure my macros are balanced and within my deficit

Makes perfect sense to me.

The spelling in here is physically painful.

In response to the all caps madness, you'll probably be really hungry on that "diet" and end up eating more than you intended. 6 snickers is not going to be as filling as actual, rounded meals. Eat whatever you want, but when you're hungry all day, exhausted, and your skin is broken out, don't come crying to us!

Look at your overall diet, don't just focus on one isolated food.

If you are getting enough protein (for maintaining muscle), enough fat (for hormones), enough vitamins and other micronutrients, why does it matter if you also eat a candy bar? You don't get bonus points for going over what your body needs on vitamins - you just pee them out.

So if you want chocolate, have an overall balanced diet and can fit it in your calorie goal, eat it.

OK SO:MY WEIGHT LOSS DEFECT CALORIES ARE 2250

A SNICKERS BAR HAS 250 CALORIES,


IF I EAT:

6 CHICKEN BREAST 150G PROTEIN, 600 CALORIES,
THEN WITH THE REMAINING 1650 CALORIES EAT 6 SNICKERS BARS

WILL STILL LOSE WEIGHT AND MAINTAIN MUSCLE, I HIT THE 150G PROTEIN I NEED FOR MUSCLE MAINTENANCE WHY SPEND THE REST OF MY CALORIES EATING RICE AND PASTA WHEN I COULD EAT SNICKERS BARS AND STILL LOSE WEIGHT , JUST BECAUSE IM NOT GETTING FIBER FROM FRUIT AND ALL THAT OTHER **** WHY DOES IT MATTER , AS LONG AS IM IN A DEFECIT I CAN LOSE WEIGHT?

Because eventually you'll feel pretty lousy if you get most of your calories from Snickers bars. Jeez, at least throw a some Doritos or pork rinds in there.

They refer to that as IIFYC - If It Fits Your Calories

Meh, 2/10. Would not read again.

LOUD NOISES!

Seriously? In the context of a balanced diet, anything is okay in moderation as long as you're in a calorie deficit, you will lose weight. If you eat nothing but chicken and snickers bars (maybe you could do snickers encrusted chicken breasts, eh?), you'd probably feel pretty blah because you're not balancing your nutrients but you would lose weight. Great. Now I want a snickers.

It's a little hard to tell, since you're writing everything in all caps and the like, but it seems like you might be getting a little too worked up about this. Yes, you *could* eat a bunch of chicken and a bunch of Snickers bars every day and still lose weight. Is that a great idea? No. Why? Several reasons. First off, you want to make sure that you eat things that are going to benefit your overall health (health isn't just about weight loss). You want to get proper nutrients and the like, and you want to be sure you're providing your body with what it needs for it to be able to function well. Secondly, most people are not going to feel satisfied if they're eating nothing but chocolate and candy on a daily basis. They'll crave other things (potatoes, maybe, or fresh veggies, or fruit, or who knows what). In response, they're likely to eat more--and if they've already "spent" their calorie budget (so to speak) on Snickers bars and chicken, they then will be eating in excess and not losing weight.

All that said, as a once in a while thing, yes you can do it without harm. Ages ago when I did Weight Watchers (back when I lost my *first* 50 lbs; working on the remaining 50 now...), I had an occasional day where I would spend my entire points budget on things like donuts or chocolate bars or whatever just because I wanted to. I'm trying to avoid that kind of thing now because it leaves me feeling drained and blah, but nonetheless, I did it several times and it never affected my weight loss negatively so long as I was staying within my points/calorie budget. So, yeah, it's totally doable; it just isn't necessarily a great idea. (Though something like a square of chocolate a day can be a great thing; it can help give you that sense of not depriving yourself while keeping things in moderation.)

Because your body needs more than just protein to function properly. Yes, protein is very important, but so are the other nutrients. This is why you need to exercise moderation when eating ALL foods. If you are getting proper nutrition, there's no reason you can't have 'junk', as long as it's in moderation and within your calorie deficit.

YA MAN JUS EAT WHATEVAR YOU WANT AS LONG AS YOI HIT YOUR MICROS

I think for many people it's not just about losing weight. Sure, if you just ate 1200 calories of chocolate a day, you could lose weight. But how would that impact your overall health? Your heart, your kidneys, your liver, your complexion, your energy levels (aside from those sugar bursts, lol). And I think 1200 calories of roughage & protein would keep you full longer than the chocolate (don't slam me for the 1200, it's just a number I used! heh)

IT IS NOT UNHEALTHY. IT IS REQUIRED TO EAT A CANDY BAR OR YOU ARE NOT YOURSELF....
