How I feel about some of these forums

For me personal clean eating is not touching my trigger foods, anything from fast food chains, anything in the junk food aisles and high gmo foods. If I follow that I feel great
Everyone has their own definition of happiness, too, but you can't then ask for suggestions or feedback on happiness and not expect some people to send you to church while others send you to porn.
Exactly. "Clean eating" has no real definition, so it shouldn't be touted around like it's the only correct way to eat.
Also, this is just a clean eating thread disguised as a mean people thread. Clever move, OP. That's a new one.

I usually have a massive garden salad, 1/2 an avocado, and some kind of protein and some kind of fruit for my lunch...didn't have time to get stuff together for today's lunch so I tossed my avocado into my lunch bag along with some cherries for desert and went and bought a full Asian Cashew Chicken salad from Wendy's. Is my lunch dirty since I didn't make the salad at home?
I did something similar, but I bought the salad from a local place called Protein Bar. It lists the ingredients so I could recreate the salad I bought at home and they are all ingredients I have and would happily use. But it was take out. So unclean?
I mean, the steel cut oats I had for breakfast were already unclean, since they had a bar code, and I also added--gasp!--protein powder to them, so I'm under no illusions about my filthy, filthy status, but just curious.
Did you add the powder before cooking or after?
I make the oats in my rice cooker and then add the powder and a bit more water. In all seriousness, I highly recommend this method to anyone with a rice cooker. Easiest thing in the world and they always come out perfectly with no fuss.
Also some blueberries, which--I admit it--came in a carton that also had a bar code.
Wonder how that would work with flax meal...0 -

If some people have it figured out with moderation thats awesome, but not everyone has. The only way to keep happy for me is to have healthy foods and desserts like dark chocolate, frozen banana ice cream, fruits etc
You turn into a rat? Some kind of transformation?
Didn't @stevencloser already do that?

Or they can just cut and paste links while leaving out important information then later claim they didn't think it was "relevant". Amirite?????
No, you're talking bollocks and you know it.
I did find your recommendations on protein (other thread) quite useful though, so thank you for that information.

Dear lord, it's getting to the point where the misinformed hippies are causing more problems then the science deniers. And they're merging in to some mutant cancer ridden species because they ate GMOs.
I also love how we're all for pointing to SCIENCE to back our wild claims, right up until you run in to someone who SCIENCES better then you do. Then science becomes biased twattle and personal experience is all that matters.0 -

When I was sick earlier this year I had basically just oatmeal for three days straight. It was crazy, but sometimes it's the perfect comfort food.0 -

Yes, or berating someone's advice because of their lack of qualifications, and then on a separate thread slamming a different person who shares the fact that they have very advanced qualifications by saying qualifications don't mean anything.

Totally. I posted a link to a study about and mentioned that I thought it was interesting and food for thought. People seemed to answer in very sarcastic and snarky ways. I wasn't telling people, hey. change the way you eat right now OHMYGOD, it was more oh, this is interesting. So yeah. I do see what you are saying.

This. When the above happens, it's usually the point where I close my browser and go walk the dog or wash the dishes. Something, anything, to not flip out and shout at my computer until the neighbours report me and some very nice people, with straightjackets and happy pills, tow me off.

I don't need to hear qualifications to know if someone understands science. Scientist can recognize the writing style and thought patterns of other qualified scientists. Which is why we know when somebody doesn't understand what they're trying to defend.0 -
life is hard bro
the vocal people here know what works and have the data and results to back it up
So you are saying that those who talk the loudest ( or the most harsh in their way of stating things ) are those who know, because according to your logic having date and results depends on being vocal, while those members here who are a bit more reserved and not as vocal are all idiots ?
That's at least what I get from your statement.

Haha, totally agree, especially Nr. 1. I posted once, that IMO to much processed added sugar is bad for bones and teeth and a few people attacked me like asking me, where I read this and they want to see studies and proof, bla bla bla. It is what I believe after reading a few books about it. I do not have to proof anything. Everyone can do their own research and believe what they want. Luckily the thread got shot down cause people got so rude.

you're making incredibly terrible inferences.
in my personal experience, those here who are vocal and critical of others are also the ones who know their *kitten*. I am not implying causation, merely highlighting a correlation I have observed.
worry less about my employment of logic and more about your deductive/inductive reasoning skills.

I don't see anyone making an excuse, I see someone explaining what she DOES need to do to keep this under control.

Hi, I was the one who mentioned that people ask the same questions over and over again. I do not answer them. I was just stating that OP shouldn't expect the nicest of responses when the questions have been answered over and over again, usually the answer is on the same page, with the same question in the subject line, the same condescending people answering them. I like new people and expect questions. If you don't want the rude answers be a little more observant when you ask questions because the answer, 99% of the time, is right under your nose - too lazy to look for it. I do agree with everything else you said

well...it's really not about beliefs and feelings...there's actual science and facts and whatnot to consider. that's what so many people seem to be missing...you can believe all you want that the earth is flat and the sun revolves around the earth...it doesn't make it factually so just because you believe it.0 -
Physioprof never said what she was or what qualifications she had she merely made some veiled comment that her username spoke volumes and gave her statements more validity than a long term poster who dared to ask questions in fact IIRC she said that said poster didn't have the right to ask such questions (I may be wrong on the latter bit though)0

Yes, I actually remember reading that post and while people were busy shouting for research papers I went and googled the information for myself (because I was interested) and immediately found lots of stuff about sugar being linked to osteoporosis, which I didn't know before.
I don't like to suspect the worst of people but that kind of behaviour leads me to think they don't actually want the information at all...0
