eliminate entirely …unless of course you have some kind of carb sensitivity ...0 -

Amen people!
I fight for the right of pizzas everywhere.
Pizza is pizza. Cauliflower is cauliflower. Cauliflower crust =/= pizza crust no matter what sauce you drown it in and it is not a holier than thou way to lose weight. It is a miserable way to do it.
I remember the original cauliflower crust/bread was due to the inventor having dietary needs (probably gluten-intolerant) and it's not a bad way to cut calories. It doesn't make you better or worse than anybody else.
In any case, agree with this thread. There is no "magic" diet since everybody has different needs, and should be working towards health rather than only weight loss!
Unfortunately that recipe went from a gluten free option to the holy grail of diet foods.
The Children of The Cauliflower were spreading the word to people they could stuff in 5 whole pizzas for the same calories as one regular one....eat 2 calorie cauliflower cookies until they exploded (at both ends)...eat cauliflower oatmeal for breakfast by the drumload...
and learn jack ****e about portion control or real world eating in the process.
CHILDREN OF THE CAULIFLOWER?!?!? :laugh:
The forums are damn amusing tonight!!
The one that made me saddest was cauliflower sushi - using ground up cooked cauli to replace the rice. No. Just... no.
I can't. I just can't. :sad:0 -

Hate to break it to you folks, but there is no "magical diet" that is going to "melt off" the fat. So many times we see people in the forums saying I need to do low carb, keto, paleo, this cleanse, that cleanse etc, because they say that calorie deficit is not working for them.
I think you are confused - most people don't choose these diets because calorie deficit isn't working for them. Most people choose these diets because calorie counting isn't working for them (big difference).0 -

It's not that calorie counting isn't working for them it's that 9x out of 10 they aren't doing it correctly. They aren't weighing their foods, or logging everything, or even logging accurately. They are eye balling it or using measuring cups. They are over estimating their burns and believing what MFP says they burned.0 -

Sorry, that's not what I mean.
Some people struggle with restricting their calorie intake without changing their eating strategy and simply struggle with moving straight from eating x, y & z in large portions to eating x,y & z in smaller portions.
Not to mention some people also find it unrealistic or unnecessary to have to weight everything they eat and to log everything they eat.
Calorie counting is great for some but not for others.
The others choose different routes which work for them (some will take a few attempts at different things to find what works for them) they may start with calorie counting and then move to cleanse and then to Low carb and then finally find that vegan is their thing.
The point is I'm sure most people who diet - whether its restricted calories, restricted food groups etc do not believe there's a magic pill.
All diets require sacrifice - it's finding the one that feels like the least sacrifice for the individual.0 -
You really make sense, this is what I have always believed.0

Well said, OP!
People are always asking me "What's the secret? What kind of magical diet are you doing?" I tell them it's not magic at all. Calorie deficit and more movement! They always seem so disappointed with hearing that...0 -
Good Post
I have kept it as simple as this post suggested and it has worked for me. Anything complicated and I would not have got this far.
Not saying it has been easy as I have found myself many a times frustrated but the key is to stick at it and adjust when needed.0 -
Not even the water diet? I heard from a professor in nutrition that you can lose weight from just drinking water whenever you're hungry and not eat any carbs, fats or proteins :L0
-
What? No magic diet? Now I get told ;(
I don't class it as diet. It's healthier eating, less crap better choices. It can be hard to kick old habits too.0 -
I don't know what's worse, cauliflower pizza crust or zucchini ice cream :sick:
Nowhere close to Buffalo cauliflower... No chicken to be found anywhere. :sick:0 -
Also this post:
Don't worry that champagne fits my macros.0 -
I never thought that low carb would give me the magical ability to eat more calories than I burned and lose weight. I did think it might suppress my appetite and make it easier to eat at a deficit. And it worked for a long time. I was very happy with it.0

Why not make Broccoli crust pizza? Why does Broccoli always get shafted?
That sounds rather awesome, actually. Anyone got a recipe?!
I'm in for the cauliflower, though. Love the stuff. I make a mean Cauliflower Cheese X-Treme. It's cauliflower in cheese sauce, with additional broccoli, bacon, leeks and mushrooms then topped with mozzarella cheese and parmesan. Heaven on a plate!
And I've suddenly realised I could turn that into a cauliflower crust pizza - cauliflower and broccoli for the crust, use cheese sauce instead of tomato, the bacon, leek and mushroom as the topping and then mozzarella and parmesan. Sorted!!!
Brassicas aside, I agree with the OP. No magic diet, though some restrictions can help us stick to the CICO plan. Some restrictions, of course, make us go more off course than a philosophy teacher giving a lecture on general relativity...0 -
