    Maybe we will become more popular among the "stick it to the man" crowd, now.

    Well, I, for one, am outraged! OUTRAGED, I SAY!

    This insult will not stand.

    Probably because IIFYM is just eating like a normal person might while happening to hit your macro goals. It's not really a diet style in my mind. I just eat what I want.

    I think it got broken down into several popular subdivisions.

    IIFYM has too few rules to be included in these moronic lists. Not restrictive enough, diets have to be hell, didn't y'all know?!

    as a white male I believe you have to overuse some form of personal expression to regain minority status...

    Yeah, eating at a calorie deficit while getting adequate macro and micro nutrients and not forcing yourself to eliminate anything just makes too much sense. Who would want to do that?

    But "Flexitarian" made the list...

    Actually, maybe we should be relieved. After all, we keep warning others of all those POPULAR, here-today-gone-tomorrow fad diets. So if IIFYM was super "popular" we'd sound a bit hypocritical, wouldn't we?

    I demand a ridiculously long, complex, and overly dramatic recount, with plenty of interviews featuring distraught bystanders.

    And while you're at it, some ice cream. The good stuff.

    The blog responses sound nothing like an MFP thread. . . .nope NEVER!!!! hehehe. . . . so IIFYM didn't crack the list, shucks. Funny stuff folks and my favorite definition is still the Paleo diet.

    The term flexitarian may make me start throat punching people. Why do people have to keep coming up with stupid names for things that are already named. Last time I checked a flexitarian was an omnivore aka someone who ate both animals and plants.

    This. IIFYM is just a new name for what used to be called a "balanced" or "flexible" diet. And compared to the other "diets" it's not really much of a diet really. The actual IIFYM name is just something some groups use to promote their approach/website/etc. And honestly, I don't think IIFYM is flexible enough since it lends to this idea that you have to hit these three numbers, where I think it's better to think of fat and protein as a MINIMUM to reach. Still, even with the limitations IIFYM is still much better than any restrictive diet. Assuming of course one doesn't suffer from insulin sensitivity or other metabolic problems.

    The "Eating Strategies" on the blog post range from actual medically researched diets, to restrictive diets, to lifestyle choices such as Vegetarians and vegans.

    I've taken a graduate level cardiovascular epidemiology class at UCLA and a Nutrition class at UC Berkeley. And the only diets on that list that were a part of large controlled research studies are the DASH diet and the Mediterranean diet. These diets were aimed to alleviate persons that had hypertension or other metabolic issues.

    Lastly, the original post is very nonsensical without any real content.
