Can we stop saying quiting/cutting out sugar from your diet!

Ok, if this is some kind of inside joke I don't get, that's fine, but why is L "loose" instead of "lose"? Is it because people spell lose weight incorrectly or is it more like moah????

It's about the spelling, but for me, more about how much this bugs people on this site. Lots of threads posted about it.

Zero calorie foods.

Yes I must agree that the spelling Nazi's who get in a frenzy about other people mis-spelling loose/lose bug me much more than the actual mis-spellers.

I thought the "A" was Atkins.
These words are the substitute in the forum to the rules about no religious or political topics.. Paleo, whole foods, detox, sugar, clean, Forks Over Knives, etc etc..

Our need to argue over world views is inevitable.

S = Starvation mode

I think that if I read about one more person starving to death...I will lose my mind.

I wonder...has anyone on MFP ever starved to death???

Yep, me. I'm posting from the grave.

N = Nutrition? U = Under eating? Hmmm... I got nothing.

I know what "clean eating is" and I know what "i cut out sugar" means. I do both for the most part but i wont be religious about it. my friend is religious about his eating and he drives me crazy, but its working for him. but i wont do his diet because i refuse to eat fake food just to save calories or sugar (he's on Ideal Protein). I could not do that.

Say whut? My girlfriend is on Ideal Protien and I steal her snacks all the time because they taste awesome.

Dude. You steal her snacks??

What can I say? I'm a terrible person.

Actually I don't steal hers much any more, except the cinnamon soy puffs. Those things are delicious. Otherwise, there are a few things she bought a box or two of and decided she didn't like so I take care of it for her.

:noway: Starvation mode should have been the first one suggested!!! Elicits tons of anger and Harvard research.

If we can do words, by far the largest debate on MFP, I cannot think of one train wreck so horribly replayed, A Calorie is NOT a Calorie

I love this whole thread. I have nothing to add, it's all been said!

M should be Milk.

Compared with the debates about what counts - and doesn't count - as milk, the addiction threads are Kant's Critique of Pure Reason...

I'll throw in my two cents because...well, I can.

I think it's absolutely asinine to say you are cutting out all of any type of food. If you ate sweets, drank gallons of soda, or gorged yourself on pasta for years to get fat, than chances are you like those things..there's a shocker. So, it's nice to say "I'm giving up all sweets and sugar," but reality is that you're surrounded by it and you really need to find some way to deal with it.

Yeah, you can deal with it by not ****ing eating it, it's not that hard. If sugar makes you over eat, then don't eat a lot of sugar.

The traditional Inuit diet had only trace amounts of sugar, far less than the west considers safe.

Back in my low carbing days I recall a woman on a board who lost all her weight on a near-zero carb diet. She ate once a day, a huge, fatty steak. Loved it so much she kept eating that way. Maintained it for years, and had excellent labs for a middle aged woman.

I personally have gone the "no sugar" route, including fruit; felt good, health was perfect. I never intended to stay that way, but it's not impossible at all. I've met a few people through the years who eat that way and are perfectly content.

This website clearly states, upfront, that it's a platform for all programs. It's not an "everything in moderation" website whatsoever. People can set whatever macros they like. These threads never cease to amaze as people seem to think this board is about one way, and only one way, to eat. Wrong.
