LIES!! Don't try to rustle my jimmies and coax me to the Cauliflower side!
Haha. Cauliflower is one of those foods that tastes like whatever you cook it in. Which I don't have a problem with. It's the texture. It's just.... wrong.0 -

I think- you want to
But a person shouldn't have to deprive themselves of food they enjoy when dieting. Dieting is hard enough.
Most of the time, when a person cuts out certain foods, they end up binging on the food when they get their hands on it… like at a birthday party, wedding, etc.
It's better and more practical to learn to eat in moderation and use portion control.
And I do not binge on any of the foods I have eliminated. I DID binge on them when I tried to eat them in moderation. We're all different...see how that works?
I wasn't talking about myself. I was talking about the general population
Perhaps if you spent some time reading through the forums, you would see that a majority of people who cut out certain foods, end up binging. They say it for themselves0 -

Based on what? What general population data do have to back this up?
Uh… Maybe the people here on MFP who have been brainwashed into thinking they have to give up chips, cookies, cake, muffins, ice cream, etc. to lose weight.
But see, this sounds like an assumption on your part. You seem to think everyone that eliminates a food does it because they think they have to. That is not true.0 -

I never said that. I know there are plenty of reasons people give up certain foods. But a majority of the people here on MFP, do it because they have been told they can't lose weight and eat cupcakes, for example.0 -

Easy is subjective. I think I would find losing weight easier if I could view some food as evil. I want to avoid evil. Viewing it as wonderfully delicious makes it hard.
why would any food be "evil"....it is just something that fuels your body
If food were just something that fueled our bodies, why would anyone be overweight? Food is more than just fuel, whether it should be or not.
because they eat too much of it...
If food were really "evil" and caused weight gain on its own, then you get obese by eating in a deficit..
I can't believe you are even trying to make THAT argument...talk about ridiculousness...
Sorry, I'm not following. I never suggested that evil makes us obese or that food was evil.
My point was if food was nothing but fuel, then people wouldn't overeat. But food is more than just fuel. It's pleasure. It's how we celebrate and show love.
moving the goalposts, I see.
People overeat because they choose to...
are you really saying that food is programming people to over eat?
Hmm, let me reread. Nope, I don't see where I said or suggested anything close to that.
so celebration with food leads to overeating, which leads to obesity then? That would be one hell of a celebration.
one hell of a celebration ... is that why you keep going back to "evil"?
that is your claim, not mine.
Nope. I said I might find losing easier if it were evil.
so viewing it as evil does not equal claiming it is evil?0 -

So when you asked why anyone would give up a food they enjoy, you did not mean to imply that people don't do that?
I still would question how you know why the majority of people on MFP do what they do.0 -

I don't cut out any foods I don't need to…
The only foods I HAVE to cut out are ones that cause my Crohn's to flare up. Meaning I don't eat them, ever. Therefore, there's no way for me to binge on them.
So your "suggestion" gets flushed down the toilet because it's wrong.

Okay, let me see if I can spell it out more. I want to avoid evil (because I think evil is bad and scary). I think I might find losing weight easier IF some foods were evil, because, as stated above, I want to avoid evil. So, IF some foods were evil, then I would want to avoid them.0 -

I also see many, many, many threads where people say they can't help eating the entire pizza, or half a jar of peanut butter, or the entire pint of ice cream. So obviously "moderation" is something many people struggle with. I'm not sure what forum you are reading if you think otherwise.

Kellogg's had a profit decrease of over 30% last year. There must be one hell of a cereal binge about to descend on the nation, if the majority can't control themselves after they stop eating something.0 -

And once again you are completely forgetting about all the people on MFP who post threads about the time when they cut out certain foods and consequently, end up binging.
Funny how you seem to ignore those people.0 -
I stopped buying marshmallow fluff, I decided peanut butter sandwiches were high in calorie enough as it is, without the extra calories of essentially adding pure sugar. I do miss fluffernutters, but I can't justify such high calories for one sandwich, especially since I didn't find them a particularly filling snack. That's the only thing I've cut from my diet though, I manage to make everything else fit.0
