    I must not have my sense of humor today because not only is your post hogwash but it is obnoxious.

    I lost 100 lbs in eight months, and then another 20 lbs in six months. I'm done. Lessons learned? What worked for me (not necessarily you)? Here ya go:
    1. CICO? A myth. Clean eating is what it's all about. We all know what clean eating is; don't be a d-bag and deny it. Actually, of course CICO is the key. (some really funny stuff here removed by mod).
    2. IIFYM is hogwash. 2000 calories of ice cream = 2000 calories of fruit, veg, and lean protein? Please. <head pat>
    [/list]

    Looks like someone needs read up on IIFYM properly.

    OP it seems like you have some insecurities about yourself.

    What kind of macros do you have if 2,000 calories of ice cream fit them?

    2000 calories of meat and veg won't likely have as much calcium as 2000 calories of ice cream. So, you know, I think the choice is clear.

    Apparently I don't know what clean eating is because I certainly would not classify frosted mini wheats as clean by many of the definitions I've seen....

    I, for one, won't sit here and encourage osteoporosis.

    But the poster who reminded us all about the good calcium in ice cream did make me laugh.

    I agree. I follow IIfYM and I can't eat 2000 calories worth of ice cream. Not sure where that came from.

    And I'm not sure how frosted mini wheats are considered "clean eating ". I hope this was a joke.

    Why do people make this so complicated? Here's what I've learned:

    For weight loss: calories in < calories out
    For body composition: eat enough protein and do a progressive resistance exercise program (I prefer heavy lifting)
    For overall health: get enough fats (sans teams), fiber and other micros, sleep/rest, hydrate maybe do some cardio
    For your sanity: don't eliminate foods for no medical reason. When it comes to trigger foods, eliminate until self control can be accomplished. No single food item is bad or good. Look at the entire regimen.

    Moderation, variation, and NO unnecessary elimination!

    Congrats, but IIFYM is far from "hogwash." Don't hate on what doesn't work for you but works for others.

    CICO = calories in, calories out. IIFYM = If it fits your macros
