    If you did, you would research the issue yourself. It's really not that hard. You obviously have internet access. If you don't care enough to research it, why should I do it for you?

    Then why did you offer. Again, seems disingenuous.

    Also...lulz at the google weak google it yourself ploy. You realize that people can see right through that right? Right?
    I think she was calling your bluff. You claimed to have a "genuine interest", but you didn't.

    If you were genuinely interested in anything, you would seek out knowledge on the subject and wouldn't even limit yourself to the Internet, much less a discussion board.

    If you do not have enough interest to seek out information on your own, there really is no reason someone else to provide you with it.

    If you want to learn, go learn. Nobody can stop you.


    BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!

    You realize who you're responding to, right?

    No-one is suggesting that a can of coke is as healthy as a bowl of raw kale.

    Are you sure? It sure seems like some are.

    No....what people are saying is having a can of coke with a bowl of stew, that has veggies and proteins in it, is not considered unhealthy as I met all my macs and micros for the day, if I have room I will fit ice cream or a cookie or whatever.

    Some are, but some are saying both are equally heatlhy foods becasue they both can be part of an overall healthy diet. They can't seem to separate the terms.

    Well, in that context, then I cannot see that it is incorrect statement.

    Niether do I. I just think it's a cop-out.

    I'm 300 calories under my goal and zombies are getting ready to chase me. I have the choice of 300 calories of kale before I go or 300 calories of sugar...which do I eat? Sugar...it's faster releasing and keeps me from getting ate by zombies, therefore, sugar is healthier than kale in that instance....BOOM! BOOYAH!!

    Totally off point and untrue.

    How is it untrue?

    Zombies are not about to chase him.


    Oh, ok then. You are probably right that the untrue thing is the assumption that zombies are going to chase him. Although, it seems an odd thing to say, because most people realize that zombies aren't in fact, about to chase him without having it explained.

    So if I get 500 to 600 calories from ice cream and cookies to fill in my diet, does that make me less healthy than the person that is getting 75% of their calories from fish, rice, and vegetables?

    Yes. Just look at the ingredient list.

    Where your nutrients, fat, carbs, etc. are coming from do matter.

    you do realize you don't get bonus points for hitting macros right?

    also good luck trying to bulk one day on that type of food.

    I did it...in 2012...but it wasn't easy...and so much damn eating. My fat macros were really high to help me get there though...like 40-50% some days. (My food diary in 2012 is kind of comical.) 20 pounds over the course of nearly a year.

    Not anything like my current bulk where I've added ~20 pounds in about four months. So much easier and more efficient.

    I think I remember you mentioning that a while back- you went like all dirty for your cut- and low carb clean for your bulk??

    LOL- so silly now to look back- so much extra work!! LOL

    Wait wait wait...it wasn't low-carb clean bulk. It was moderate-carb clean bulk. But yeah, I did it completely backwards...not on purpose, but I had already cut (to 150ishLOL) in 2011 eating "normal" foods and then discovered paleo in 2012 and decided to eat like a grown-*kitten* man bulk for a while. Decided paleo wasn't worth the effort, so dropped it just in time for the next cut.

    So. Much. Food.

    oh really??? care to elaborate?

    so if my macors are 35p/35c/30 fats and I hit them all with eggs, chicken, rice, bread, etc and then filled in rest of day with ice cream and some cookies, you are saying that is an unhealthy day just because I got 500 - 600 from ice cream and cookies...really?

    As I said, look at the ingredients. That is, unless you're going with organic or natural. It's not necessarily the food itself that's the problem. Food colorings and artificial flavors? Preservatives and other chemicals they put in a lot of foods? No thank you.


    First, all food has "chemicals" so unless you are drinking pure water you are ingesting *gasp* chemiclas.
    You're missing it. If you saw the post I made earlier about the ingredients in Dominoes pizza, maybe it'd be easier for you to understand her point.

    That post you made actually made no sense. All you did was list ingredients in a pizza and pick what you thought was unhealthy. Which there was absolutely no reason why it would have been healthy.
    It's called ingredients that do not have a place in pizza.

    Interesting, I wasn't aware that there was a rule on what belongs in a pizza.

    There should be. Pepperoni - NO, pineapple - yes.

    I'm staging a revolution if the pizza ruling says no pepperoni

    I generally agree with the OP's logic however I will say that I think what foods you eat does come into play a little. You could theoretically lose just as much weight eating 1400 calories of deep fried twinkies a day as you would eating 1400 calories of vegetables, but I think it might be healthier overall to eat the veggies.

    you're saying pepperoni doesn't belong on a pizza- but pineapple does?

    At no point- outside of sauce- does fruit belong on a pizza.

    Ever.

    Yuck. no.

    meat- cheese- sauce.
    yes.
    fruit? nope nope nope.

    Calcium, iron, Vitamins A, D, K, E, etc. are naturally occurring parts of nutrition in whole, unprocessed foods. You aren't going to find those quality micronutrients in pizza, ice cream, funnel cakes, candy bars, soda, etc. And, even if you do get some micronutrients in the ingredients used to make those foods, you will also get a huge dose of sodium (implicated in high blood pressure), saturated fats (implicated in cardiovascular diseases) and sugar (which has a whole slew of diet related health issues attributed with it).

    A bonus: what sort of education or research do you have to assert this position? I'd love to know.

    What's the difference between eating some ice cream or having a yogurt?

    Depending on the situation, it can be significant IMO. Comparing some commercial brands of ice-cream with homemade yogurt would yield a good bit of differences, IMO. Homemade yogurt can be loaded with probiotics, added sugar does not have to be as high as in commercial ice-cream, and it is also lower in lactose.

    In that case, next we should compare some commercial brands of yogurt with homemade ice cream...because cherry-picking is so persuasive.



    dude... what page are you on. That was like, so last hour or two.

    So many posts. I'm beginning to think that some of you aren't even reading all of the posts before posting.

    Being interested when someone makes an assertion does not mean that, based on conflicting time demands, it is a priority and that you want to invest the time to go out, and find something you do not even know the context of or whether you are going to find it.

    Telling someone to google something after making an assertion is a weak retort.
