I thought about it, and then decided that no, I'd better not. I've done enough damage here today.
Plus the optimist in me was hoping that she was being sarcastic.
I was rather surprised too! but everyone has mentioned the medical issue comments
Sadly no I was not being sarcastic-- well maybe a little. But I actually have the wonderful (yes this is sarcasm) genes that carry with them the medical conditions that most others have commented on. You know the ones that if you even look at a carb- you gain weight! yeah I have both of them- PCOS and Hypothyroidism. So yes the I hate you comment was sarcasm - its a gift I know- but the genetic predisposition to store fat from carbs was not- sadly.
but then I don't claim to deny science either-- I have to watch my cals too
Don't blame hypothyroidism for carb problems.
I'm on 200 mcg of Synthroid. My thyroid is nearly dead. I moderate my carbs to manage my fatigue from Hashimoto's and psoriatic arthritis, but I don't have to avoid them entirely. If I go too low, I get too fatigued. Same goes if I go too high.
Now PCOS? Yeah, it's best to limit carbs with that. Saying that, how much you have to limit them is between you and your doctor.

I was missing the word "eat" between ONLY and processed when I first posted. Hopefully that makes more sense now.Lots of people who eat food in moderation, don't ONLY processed, junk food, candy and ice cream as all their meals. Many of us actually eat lots of whole foods in high amounts too.
Carry on.

Nope- wasn't- PCOS isn't carb friendly, but hypothyroidism is just another one of the genetic issues that help me gain weight or makes if difficult for me to lose- however you want to look at it- I am on 3/4 grain westhroid pure- but then this is probably a convo for a different forum

Alright I'm giving you a pass, I don't know anything about those conditions. I'm sorry, that must suck.
Thank you for the pass!! Yeah sucks but I am learning how to still lose with them anyway!! And succeeding so.... yay for me!0 -

Dude, just wash it down with a triple scoop of 100% Gold Standard Whey.JustinAnimal wrote: »I don't know... I mean, I'm not disagreeing with the OP at all. But some of these responses... a whole pizza... bacon... yeah, they have macronutrients but will not help me with macronutrient goals. If I ate a whole pizza, I'd have to try like hell to make up the protein to balance it with the fat and carbs. Are we talking chicken breast and cottage cheese pizza? Typically, the proteins on a pizza are at least 50% fat (and some type of sausage), be it salami, pepperoni or Italian sausage... or bacon... or linguica or ground beef or meatballs.
Or maybe I'm assuming too much. Do most of you not have macro goals and just follow CICO? I know my protein goal is somewhat high at 40%.

I usually make my own which is thin curst with chicken, feta, pineapple and I usually hit my macros for the day, which for me is 35% carbs/30% fats/35% protein...< now, will it be 100% spot on, probably not, but no one is gong to hit them perfectly all the time...
That pizza sounds delicious!0 -

He didn't state if he was taking any micronutrient supplementation and fiber.I think, for some people, there is a disconnect between
"Eat whatever you want as long as it fits in your cals/macros."
and
"Find ways to balance foods you enjoy with other foods for an overall healthy, balanced diet."
The first applies to weight loss and is, if I'm not mistaken, IIFYM by the letter of the law.
The second is a more reasonable, responsible approach generally applicable to the masses.
yes, but if you hitting your cals/macros it is going to be almost impossible to do it with 100% donuts, ice cream, etc...you would still need some chicken, vegetables, rice, whole grains, to balance it out...
False.
This is my go-to day. Certainly not everyday, but this is pretty indicative of my typical eating. Sure, it's not all donuts and ice cream, but there are no fruits, no veggies, no whole grain, etc.
sorry to interrupt the 'mallow love fest, but i've got a serious question. would this diet be considered healthy? i mean, he's hitting all his macros without and fruits or veg but people on both sides stress the importance of produce and whole grains. or is this diet lacking because perceived lack of micronutrients?

You're a giver. It's what you do.
I think the real answer is Digestive Biscuit, glob of Nutella, then glob of Fluff, placed under broiler until toasty.
Wash down with good beer or single malt Scotch. Repeat.0 -

Reese's cups are the secret. They melt faster than solid chocolate.
You can also make a mean smore with a mini snickers bar.0 -

Oh my. I need to bank some serious calories.
I need this. I did have to Google digestive biscuits, but they seem perfect for this. Along with a mocha stout.0 -

I saw a picture of a s'mores dip the other day, melted chocolate in a pan covered with toasted marshmallows then dip in with graham crackers!! Wanted soooooo bad-- but cant have--- *pout lip*
Also (before the discovery of my PCOS) I made empanada's with snack size snickers inside...... sooooo gooodddddd,,, the snickers was all melty and gooey inside!!0 -

We just use fudge stripe cookies in place of the graham crackers.

This thread may actually be even better than the burger one!!
I had lots of intelligent thoughts to add to the conversation as I read through, but pretty sure they've already been made...so I'll give you this instead, which has nothing whatsoever to do with food, but, Elmo!!

Correct!
I choose to limit heavily refined carbs. I'm not demonizing carbs.
I choose to limit added sugars in my diet. I'm not demonizing sugar.
If someone limits their consumption of soda are they demonizing it?
If someone limits their consumption of fast foods are they demonizing it?
Sounds like moderation to me.
I choose to limit heavily refined carbs and added sugars. Sounds like moderation to me. I may limit more than the next guy, but it's what works for me.0 -

This is a really great idea, too. I'll be trying this as soon as I cleanse my body of the toxins from the previous smore experiments.0 -

Now that's mean.
I did decide to cook my pork chops in the crockpot with some barbecue sauce tomorrow because of this post. I don't have buns though, but I can make do with some good sliced bread.0 -

I dislike Peeps
I heard that. Peeps are gross. But I don't like unburnt marshmallows, so...
Maybe I could eat Peeps if they were set on fire first, but that might take away their cleansing properties.
I am just chiming in to say that Roasted Peeps are the absolute best. You will never eat another regular peep, or regular Roasted Marshmallow, again. It carmelizes the sugar on the outside of the peeps and makes awesome S'mores.
You are all welcome.

I eat in moderation, yet am somehow single-handedly keeping Norwegian salmon smokers, my local bakery, and Philadelphia in business.
I also want to take this time to give a shout out to the recommended 85 g serving of pasta, "Hahahahaha! You kidder!"0
