Trying to lose weight while eating Fast Food and Candy

Omg, all of you are just a bunch of food junkies. Everything in moderation? How about heroin in moderation? Fast food is a drug, and it kills you slowly. Why do you think we gain weight? Because the body packs the toxins into fat cells to protect us. Yes, without that fat you'd be dead from poisoning yourself with meats and dairy. And once you stop consuming toxic food, the body cleanses and you lose weight. It's that simple.

We gain weight because we eat too much. Not just fast food, but EVERYTHING.

I eat fast food at least once a week. I've just learned to make smarter choices when I do stop.

Also, nice way to bump a 3-year-old post.

I think anything in moderation is okay I eat alot healthier these days, I do still have the most horrendous sweet tooth!! If you look in my diary today have logged 3 squares of cadburys oreo chocolate and 2 fruit pastles!! Will have 3 more squares tomorrow and more fruit pastles too!! I asked 1 of the gym instructors if fruit pastles counted as 1 of your 5 a day!! She said course they do Steph!! Haha good to know!!

I've lost almost 37 pounds and I eat a bacon double cheeseburger from Burger King like once a week. FRIES AND ALL!!! Oh the horror.

Ok folks, I run the risk of being beaten into the ground but I just don't get how anyone can think they can lose weight while eating Fast Food and Candy.

Um, I don't know. Because I eat fast food and candy and the scale is going down? A better question would be, why do some people think a fast food meal or a candy bar will negate the laws of science?

NOOOOO, ZOMBIE THREAD! :laugh:

I think it depends on the person. Because of my hectic work schedule and because I really didnt eat anything but chicken nuggets 2 meals a day I would say no its not impossible to lose weight eating fast food and candy. Take me for example who like I said used to eat atleast 2 meals a day fast food or out to eat. Now I am trying to eat 1 meal fast food every 2 days. When you look at my diary you may see that I ate too much fast food for that week but in reality it is not that much for ME. It may be for other people who aren't used to eating out.

It can almost be like a drug addiction. You get addicted to eating fast food to the point that that's all you have a taste for and you know that if you don't eat you will end up in starvation mode. When you become addicted to something you can't just quit cold turkey. For some that may work but for others like me its a long time fitness goal to cut out all of that. Not just a one month long no fast food binge.

In reference to sodas. I used to drink at least 4 a day and now I am drinking 1 a day. To some that is a lot and will criticize your diary because its in there. But people don't know others past history. Going from drinking that many a day to 1 a day sometimes even 1 every other day has been a goal that was reached for me and it was a task. I used to cringe at the thought of having to drink a bottle of water and couldn't even get a whole one down. Now I am drinking 3 to 4 bottles a day no problem. My next goal is to get more water in me a day. I may eventually get to where I drink one soda every other day consistently but for right now I think I am making my way to a healthier lifestyle long term and not just for a few short months to lose weight.

So to answer your question it depends on the person and their past history. If they went from eating fast food all the time to eating smaller amounts then yes they definitely can lose weight.
