This cracks me up. I don't understand why the quoted has to be mentioned. No one stated that they eat "junk food" all day every day. What OP was getting at is nutritious plus treats, or all foods in moderation. Nothing wrong with that. I find the quoted quite amusing and dramatic. Once still can be physically (and mentally) healthy including all foods in their diet. For some, including treats in their WOE actually helps them adhere to a deficit.
It is of a healthy mindset to eat foods without labeling them "good" or "bad". Demonizing foods can lead to orthorexia.
I eat processed meat substitutes and I eat fresh spinach arugala broccoli tomato celery carrots etc...and I eat chocolate covered fruit and frozen fruit smoothies...and I eat cheesecake fiber one (processed GASP) snackbars....and I eat lots of stuff. lol.
I've never tried those fiber one bars, but I really want to! It seems like a great way to hit the fiber goal. Do they taste good?6 -

Hahaha agreed.
Good bye, health! I'm sorry that I followed my day of cottage cheese, homemade Thai Veg and Tofu Soup, and steak and salad with a cup of gelato!17 -

Actually, I would argue that it is healthIER to eat processed foods (etc) as a part of your diet if doing so keeps you on track. The least healthy thing would be to cut out and eliminate any food that isn't deemed "clean" or "good for you" and then give up. I don't think anyone here is getting the majority of their calories from Twinkies or ice cream multiple times a week.
So yeah, I eat all the foods. Yum! Nothing is off-limits as long as it fits into my goals. And you know what? Lots of times me working my "treats" into my day means I strive to be EXTRA active.
So tell me again how eating within your macro and calorie goals while also fitting in treats ruins my health. I'll wait...57 -

I don't eat "clean" but do eat enough to keep my health up. I do eat junk food and processed foods in some form on an everyday basis. And have been doing it for over 40 years.

I consider myself to be "diet agnostic". I don't follow any plan or specified pattern of eating, but respect others' rights to do so. As long as they aren't diet evangelists. They're the worst.
I do make an effort to eat mostly plants because they're tasty, cheap af and good for you. I also like to eat a small bit of chocolate because it's tasty.58 -
I'm also one that as long as it fits into my goal, I eat it. I think I have a good mix. Tonight I made a ground turkey meatloaf made with zucchini, carrots, and green peppers and then for dessert I had chocolate chip cookies. Actually thinking about it, most of my processed foods are dessert. I really like dessert.
I added a few of you. I'm looking for more friends on here. Lots of mine seem to be inactive for quite some time now. 20 -
I LOVE THIS POST!! I'm so glad I'm not the only one! I didn't have anything special today because I'm still recovering from the weeks around Christmas/New Years but best believe I will enjoy some tacos and tamales next weekend!!15

If you try to eat perfect and exercise like crazy you set yourself yourself up for failure. Everybody has to take the step that is best for them. I found that sugar makes me hungry and is a trigger food for me. That means I can't eat 2 Hersey's kisses without eating the whole bag! I can, however, eat Buffalo Wild Wings with no problem! My philosophy is eat, pay attention how you feel, record everything, study your results, and don't let anyone tell you what you should or shouldn't do. Now, I am off to go eat some potato chips.

Feel free to add me everybody I don't eat perfect either. Today I had a Philly cheesesteak and I do not regret it at all lol28

If unhealthy food is what you need now and then go for it. I am the same way. I fell off the wagon last time and gained back what I had lost because I had been told I needed to be 100% all day everyday! I've been eating healthier (80%) and have my snacks here and there and a cheat meal once a week and guess what. I'm feeling so much better. I feel like I can actually do it!
If you're not happy it won't last, so might as well cheat within your calorie range when you can 21 -
I still drink beer on the regular lol. It's about moderation!21

My brethren!
All that eating "clean" stuff is part of the reason I've never been able to keep the weight off.
I eat whatever I want now in moderation. Today that meant an orange, tuna with some crackers, a handful of pistachios, a granola bar, chicken soup for dinner, and now I'm about to eat some chocolate....cause chocolate.
In the grand scheme of things I'm sure this chocolate won't kill me or hurt my health.25 -
My only health problem that can be helped through diet is being obese. That means I need to eat fewer calories than my body burns. I can get those calories though pizza, brownies, and beer if I like. I will admit that I should try to eat more vegetables. They are like 10 calories. It's not like I don't have the caloric budget for them. I'm always looking for new friends.19

Am I late to the party
I have a varied diet and eat everything I like, just within my calorie parameters. I'm in excellent health and am one of those 'special freak snowflakes' that's actually maintaining successfully, go me lol.
Great thread Op!15 -

I just ate pizza and I'm polishing off a glass of wine. I also ate pasta at lunch. I've been STARVING today, so lots of little snacks. Some "good," some "bad." Though I've basically eaten back all my exercise calories today (see: STARVING), even if I have a cookie or make a cup of hot chocolate before bed, I won't go over. And I'm really not ridiculously far over what I try to hit, day to day. It's MUCH easier for me to eat what I like in moderation, than to eat a bunch of stuff I don't like!19

To be honest I just started trying them. I bought the strawberry cheesecake ones and I like them after putting them in the freezer for 30-60 minutes! IDK why they taste better to me that way. I always had super low fiber like 10-15grams per day was my high so I decided I needed to supplement somehow. This seemed as simple and useful of a way as any.5 -
