    Can you all please type more slowly?

    Posts are appearing faster than I can read. I started the thread when it was 17 pages long. I'm currently on page 15 and just noticed there are now 19 pages. At this rate I'll never get to the end!!!

    Thanks for your consideration. :flowerforyou: :wink:

    FROM OP: but you ask any single expert, or even just a health conscious person out there and they will say the exact thing I've just said. No one can dispute this.

    Experts are debating this all the time. And I hesitate to take advise from any "health conscious person" who espouses the the virtues of "clean" eating.

    The reason you get such flack about your advise is very simple:

    Your wrong.

    I do hate to miss out on all the fun. I do have to support the argument that WHAT you eat is just as important, if not more so.

    I know from personal experience I can eat 1300 to 1400 cals a day of "whatever I want" including sugar and processed foods, and not lose weight ... for weeks. I can, however, eat meat, vegetables, fat (under 20g of carbs) nothing processed to a total of 1700 to 2000 cals a day and lose about 2 - 3 lbs a week. Every week. No crossfit.

    All of you who love to defend your right to eat crap, go for it, but it's not as simple as calories in/calories out, and the FIRST thing you should do if you can't budge the weight is look at WHAT you're eating. A Big Mac, even within your calories, is NOT a good choice.

    I need the rules for MFP Bingo, btw. Just saying.

    http://www.myfitnesspal.com/topics/show/475116-mfp-bingo?hl=MFP+Bingo&page=1

    I ended up finding it, thank you! Wow, that little search feature works wonders, huh? (And I feel like a doofus for not using it before I posted the original quote.)

    Edited for exclamation point abuse.

    We fight for our right to eat a BALANCED diet. We eat a balanced diet of all the foods. Everyone who eats clean seems to think we are spouting eat nothing but pizza and big macs all day every day. Nope. That's not what we say AT ALL. We say the 80/20 rule is a pretty good one 80% what you all call healthy foods and 20% treats. Make your treats fit in to your day. I love cupcakes and there is NO reason I can't have one or two every so often. Do I eat them every day? No. When I do eat them I fit them into my day. I'm losing weight.

    It really is as simp as CICO. I really don't know why everyone wants to always overcomplicate that…

    I'm going to say you were probably eating more than you thought. Otherwise my 1.6lb loss during 2 weeks I ate mostly Jason's Deli and some Pizza Hut must mean that those things are "magic".


    ETA: I'm not eating "crap". I see you already have a horse but could you get off it and realize that food is food and if you know someone who is eating actual crap, then it's not a matter of CICO or whatnot at that point but a psychological issue.

    I have 2450 calories a day, after my eggs, apples, greek yogurt, whole wheat bread, raspberry jam, peanut butter, honey, coffee and daily multivitamin I usually still have about 1200 calories to play with. So sometimes, that big mac is in fact a GREAT choice.

    There's no way that's a great choice. I mean, come on it's fast food…oh wait…I mean, it's food…oh wait…I guess it IS a great choice….(this is coming from a vegetarian)

    Ad hominem attacks only reflect upon yourself. You'd be wise to avoid them.
