And definitely not Silence of the Lambs!
I dunno, liver, fava beans and a nice chianti seems like a perfectly balanced meal

I got rid of my TV a few years ago, and I definitely think that not being exposed to all that food advertising has helped me. It always blows me away when I'm in my apartment's gym and I see food commercials on TV. I find myself trying to guess how many calories are in the food and how long I'd have to do whatever I'm doing to burn it off. I remember last year being at the gym and seeing commercials for that pizza with fritos corn chips on it--I think it was corn chips, maybe it was Doritos? Anyway. Insane! Did people actually buy that? Or those meals they advertise at like Wendy's and BK, where they say it's only $4 and you get the burger, the fries, the cookie, the soda--and it has to be 2000 calories, easy. All for just $4! Sheesh!
I also have a guilty pleasure of watching food cooking shows when I am working out. I especially like to watch Barefoot Contessa, 'cause she don't give squat about calories! I watch her just pour all that oil in there and think "Dude you just added several thousands of calories to that soup...what are you doing, Contessa?" Or when she makes fruit parfaits and she's like "Just three cups of sugar, all you need". !!!! "Just" three??? "We'll add a little salt..." ::adds two cups of salt to dish::0 -

Pizza and all other treats can be part of a healthy diet but again ,it will take self control.

Then why would you order something you hate ? That makes no sense at all.
You created a thread about commercials tempting you but then said you dislike those foods. So it should've bother you so much if you dislike pizza so much ?!
Get some self control and you won't have to worry about the TV commercials .
No, I like pizza and said it was the because it's not good for you. BTW you're taking this light thread way too seriously. 0 -

Nah...pizza is perfectly good for you. It's one of the few foods that has a good balance of all macros.
TOO MUCH pizza is not good for you. Of course, the same can be said of any food.0 -

Why isn't pizza good for you? There are lots of people who track calories, macros, micros, etc that eat pizza in moderation, hit their weight loss goals, are incredibly fit and live happy, healthy lives. There are also a lot of people who come to this site and think that in order to be successful they have to give up all the foods they love, and as such, they either never start, or they are miserable, or they give up because they don't think it is sustainable. People just like to point out that this is not necessarily required.0 -
Stop bashing pizza or the pizza police will come.0

Everyone has their own way of doing things. I will say that most people don't lose a pound and from looking their deit, it doesn't look good to me. To me it looks like if they follow everything correctly, they drop 2 or so sizes in a half year. I'm only 15 lbs over weight, I'm not even big and I always cut about 10 lbs in just a couple of months. But hey whatever works for you.0 -

I'm saying everyone is different, our bodies are not the same. For me pizza doesn't work. If it works for you then more power to you. Only thing I added was that I see a lot of people fail, but never change their diet.0 -

The people you are referring to, are you talking about people actively trying to lose weight? I lost the weight I set out to lose on MFP and I don't know that a casual observer would think that I changed my diet at all, because I still eat the same foods I ate before, but I eat them in appropriate portions for my calorie goal. I still eat pizza, drink wine, eat chocolate. I just work it into my calories.
