what NOT to eat

I agree that being calorie deficient will lose weight but so many times, just that, has worked to a point, then I am stuck. I have had to give up junk because I eat compulsively, a little chocolate, one packet of crisps and I lose control. While tracking all calories, I have now given up bread and I eat more of what is filling and healthy as a replacement. Pounds are dropping off and I feel less bloated0

I can't do cashews in moderation (or honey roasted peanuts or cashews, for that matter).2 -

It's been processed with processed bananas bought in the grocery store. You have to go to a factory in southeast Asia if you want a fresh banana.
It might be ripened. But fresh raw banana is not "processed".
WinoGelato was not saying that they were (as it is her post that provoked this sidetrack).
However, as I said above:
(1) I often cook bananas, so those are processed.
(2) As others noted, the banana has been modified over time by humans, so the idea that humans changing stuff (the anti-processing argument) makes something bad would also apply to bananas.
(And I'd also agree with various posters that doesn't make it processed as we normally use the term, but it does make it relevant to the assertion that processed=bad.)
Actually for the record I didn't bring up bananas and am not sure how any stance on bananas is being attributed to me. I can't stand bananas!
The first mention I saw of bananas in this thread was the infographic someone else posted about the chemical makeup of a banana, and then in a response quoting me wanzik made a comment that calling a banana processed is silly, or something like that.
I bet if you had a fresh banana from southeast Asia, you would love it!
Doubtful.
LOL

Yes, but you have to sneak up on them. Those wild sugar-free bananas are skittish and tend run and hide. If you spook one, they let off this high pitched squeal which will warn the others and you are destined to go without your banana that day.
Now where do we stand on banana "ice cream?"6 -

No kidding. I've tried everything, even luring. Nothing. Works. May try xanax next.
Yes to all ice cream.

Are you giving them the xanax, or taking it yourself? If you slow your movements enough, and dress in camouflage, you can catch them. They are much more wiley than the margarine tubs, which pretty much just sit in their fields, lazing about all day.5 -

Anyway, I want to get lean. I know WHAT to eat but not what NOT to eat.
Any suggestions as to what NOT to eat so I can eliminate it from my diet and thoughts?
Thanks!
You can eat all the same things but watch your portion sizes. Also ensure you log all your food intake so you can see how many calories each food contributes to your overall total. The principal behind the MFP concept is Calorie Deficit based on Calories In and Calories Out, so just make a careful record of the numbers, and make small adjustments where necessary. Actually, if you can increase your exercise, you may not have to reduce your food at all.0 -
Ice cream is all, all is ice cream. Banana ice cream is way down the list of ice creams though. I prefer bananas in muffin or oatmeal form, personally.
This thread has reminded me of how little most people know about how their food became what it is, whether it's hermetically sealed and boxed at the dollar store or shining up at them from the basket at the farmer's market.4 -

I was thinking of that banana "ice cream" substitute. PB, chocolate, banana ice cream sounds like it would be good. I do like banana muffins, but you need to catch more than one to make it.

What IS processing if not preparing and cooking food?
I don't get how "processed" food is supposed to be bad, but doing it yourself is so crunchy.2 -

...
I do eat cooked, processed food. I am simply commenting on the posts that say a raw food is processed -- which it isn't. But it seems that people have varying definitions for the word "processed". I tend to think along the lines of the federal legal definition:

Bing "processed food." No, it isn't all bad. That's why I refer to "overly processed" instead. To me, these are products (not food) with added chemicals and preservatives that are so overly "processed" than any real nutritional value it may have had was destroyed on the process. At least when you buy fresh you control your own processing.1
