    I'm at a plateau. Dropped 17 pounds, and stuck. I do cardio twice a day (morning 2 miles and afternoon 2 miles), I alternate leg day and arm day, I watch my intake on food and make better choices.

    How can I get past this? I've been stuck for about 3 weeks now. The scale hasn't moved.

    You should probably start your own thread...this one has enough going on :wink:

    I reset my calorie goals every month, are you still eating as much as you were 17 pounds ago?

    Only on MFP is this even a debate.


    People like to major in the minors here...it's often a quick snipe and not a full blown explanation of the mentality the "seasoned" users are trying to fight in perceived newbies, and often it comes out "wrong", I agree. The "oh, I must eat 100% clean to be healthy" mentality is one we might have seen fail in ourselves and friends.

    But ninerbuff kind of explained the mentality a lot of users "fight". Another of our mods explained how even a gummy bear is beneficial in context.

    No one, however, would argue that a donut is just as nutrient dense as broccoli.




    Right. No one is making that argument. "Nutrient dense" isn't a synonym for "healthy." That X is more "nutrient dense" than Y doesn't mean it's always a better, or healthier, choice than Y.

    I'd rather eat 1500 cals of donuts any day than endure that sheet.

    OOPS...exceeded your sugar macro there too...

    I am guessing that they didn't read the entire thread & thus doesn't know that the OP; is gone.

    I wasn't going to comment on any of this because it's so ridiculous, but this finally hit close to home because I ate a pound of cauliflower last night and thought I was going to die. 9.7 pounds of broccoli would definitely be the end of me.

    On the other hand, 1500 calories of donuts is what, like...4-5 donuts? I could do that and only that every day for at least a couple weeks, I bet. Especially if I got a little vitamin C from the jam-filled ones.

    I've done a pound of cauliflower. And a pound of broccoli (not at the same time). Both were without issue. I can handle a lot of fiber.

    I think 9.7 pounds would be a bridge too far.

    Rabbit mentioned a cork? I think I might just explode if that sucker was lodged in too tight. Either that or I'd put someone's eye out.

    How much time would it take to down 9.7 lbs of broccoli?? Broccoli is my favorite food, but eeeeeeeeck. I have trouble after 300 grams.

    Do apple fritters count as donuts? (They sell them at the donut shop!) Then you could get some fruit, too! :mrgreen:

    Sounds like a consensus.

    So at a dose of 1500 daily calories and a context of exclusively, doughnuts are generally accepted to be healthier (and safer) than broccoli.

    I am sure I am missing others but I just wanted to thank you for your contribution to this post and to MFP overall. Your posts have been helping me and sure will because I have a long journey ahead.
    I have lost 20 lbs in slightly more than two months eating bread and butter, white rice and pasta, ice cream and chips, wine and beer.
    Arguments ad hominem are against forum guidelines so I won't say anything about OP. Enough said.

    So I'm assuming the information from the op can be disregarded?? Good cause I use white bread on all of my subs.
