I am so sick of the "give me a food plan" and "what are you eating". No one wants to do anything for themselves. If they want a food plan they should go to Jenny Craig or something like that. It is a shame that people are so lazy they can't ever look up a healthy recipes or go to the store and read a freaken lable.
Why are you sick of it, and if you are sick of it why are you on a weight loss/fitness message board? What do you think people are going to post here?? And if you read many of the posts on this sight you've no doubt seen that there are many that really and truly don't know how to make up a healthy eating plan. I see nothing wrong with asking those that have had success what worked for them. It's no more or less work to look for help here than it is to look for a help via Google. When someone asks for help they ARE doing it for themselves.
I think shes referring to the people that arent asking for help, they want pre-packaged meals given to them so they don't have to learn portion control or healthy choices.
That's a little more understandable, but doesn't really sound like a "what are you eating" question. I'm more than happy to share what has worked for me with anyone that wants to hear it.
I got some pretty good recipes and suggestions off this forum. Things to cook that I hadn't thought of, or tiny tidbits like using a laughing cow wedge instead of cheese on a burger. I don't see anything wrong with info sharing.0 -

Amen, Amen, Amen!!! As a dietetics grad, I also struggle with the amount of garbage I see in regards to diets, cleanses, etc. It is so hard for me to keep my comments to myself, I'm glad someone else went ahead and said it!!!0

Why was the first post taken down? Why do all the pity posts get to stay on the board...
OMG I know, right?
Everyday there's another "I'm sooooooo depressed I caved in and ate a cookie" thread.
Maybe people are really scared that one little ol' Chips Ahoy will make them gain 50 pounds. Or maybe they thrive off of getting a million pats on the back saying "it's ok." IDK.
Or maybe because this site is supposed to be for support, not a bunch of holier than thou know it alls.0 -
