Made a cake - licked the bowl, spatula and whisk clean
yum! 6 -
Breakfast was oatmeal.......with nutella.
Lunch will be cheese (glorious full fat sharp cheddar) and crackers with pepperoni.
Dinner is going to be homemade mashed potatoes with beef stew on top. Followed by a full size hershey bar with almonds.
It's a good day.
Oatmeal with nutella?
I've got to go buy me some nutella... don't mind me... I'll be in the kitchen trying out something healthy...

Well up until the 16th of this month I was not into clean eating, but due to ongoing digestive issues I have been placed on a very restrictive diet (low FODMAP) which kind of negates the ability to eat more or less anything that comes in a packet, but this is purely to try and get my body to remember how to digest food without being in agony, which has been the case for since October, so for once I am all for clean eating ... I do still want to be able to eat processed foods from time to time, and once I'm over this elimination period and have figured out exactly what is causing me all the digestive distress and agony, believe me I will be eating a wider range of foods, within my dietary needs ...
But I love this post, so just had to comment.4 -

Sorry to hear you're having issues-best of luck to you as you proceed with the elimination diet (and hoping it's something like Brussels sprouts that are causing the problems ). 2 -
yesterday i was SO READY to eat a pizza, like a whole one, or nearly a whole one. but i got full after 4 slices which means pizza leftovers today and tomorrow! the only thing that i'm sad about is that they sent me regular pepsi instead of diet pepsi and i drank nearly the full 2 liters before noticing. i just thought diet pepsi was WAY better than diet coke (i don't drink a lot of soda). so i blew my calorie goal on the wrong junk food. hrmph. but seriously 850 calories of soda! that's so *kitten* sneaky!6

Seriously, melted cheese is my spirit animal...also, pasta might be as well...and butter. I may have eaten all of these things and gone over my calories this weekend but...I was celebrating with family and it's back to counting more strictly now (although a chocolate pudding snack is in my near future...to balance the salad!)5

You can add me if you'd like. You can periodically find fast food in my diary.1

This isn't about anyone other than yourself. Go ahead and eat those Oreo's but stay under your caloric goal for the day. However, if you understand that those 3 or 4 cookies cost you a nice piece of beef or chicken, you might reconsider.1 -
I generally eat clean during the week. On the weekends, I've been known to have a stool reserved for me at Buffalo Wild Wings. 3

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.
Turkey meatloaf? I would totally skip the desert for Beef meatloaf.0 -

What can't she have the cookies and the niece piece of beef or chicken?
I love when people are like instead of *food item you want* you could have *food item you don't want*.
On another note, I have got to get some pizza in my life. Maybe this weekend.7 -

Why not both? Why not meet macro goals AND have cookies if they fit?
This thread was going so well...

Why have I never thought of Nutella in my porridge!
That sounds lush2 -

I have "pizza Friday" 4 -
LOL.. we can really eat what ever we want as long as it is in moderation and lose weight. Eating has been my BIGGEST struggle with weight loss because I want to eat my cake and lose it too... However, I've started playing around with some foods and making versions of the stuff I love to eat in a more healthier way. Now, I just started this so we will see how long it last... but so far, the foods have been ON POINT! I made a cauliflower pizza (I know doesnt sound so appealing but I decided to give it a try) and OMG it was great.
I am a certified personal trainer and have dealt with these issues and deal with nutrition eating issues every day! One thing I would recommend however, is for you to ask what it is you are looking to get out of your journey?
Are you looking to lose weight? Or are you looking to live healthier? To be honest anyone can eat "junk food" everyday all day and lose weight as long as they are on a calorie restriction, but at the end of the day, what will that do to your health?
Have you heard about the professor who ate McDonalds for 30days and lost weight? Or this other guy who ate nothing but "junk food" for 30 days and lost 11lbs? You can google them to see their stories.
I dont eat clean all the time, but I do watch what I eat every day and I enjoy M&M's, candies, or whatever else I want as long as it is within my daily goal... yippie!
In this day and age where media is always telling us what is good and what is bad I do my best to live by this motto: "Whatever you choose to do, however, you choose to eat never let anyone tell you what you can and cant do. You know what it is you can do and what it is you want, its your life you take control of it the way you want!" It's your option and you have the ability to choose your path.

It's Tuesday, and that means TACOS.
And also, it's my very first day in ONE-derland in over 11 years (and really more than that because I didn't maintain the weight loss that got me under 200 back then).
ONE-derland NEEDS tacos.
TACOS.8 -

I've just lost 40lbs thanks to eating less and moving more. I've eaten pizza, burgers, had waaaay too much booze and a whole lot of junk food... but if i tried to "eat clean" I would have given up by now. It's not realistic nor sustainable for me as I love my "Bad food" I've just learnt to eat it in moderation... unless it's a party which only happens once in a blue moon... in which case, I may go mental and have many cocktails ;D
I also have set my diary to private after 1 user was telling me off for having diet soda. I happen to prefer the taste of pepsi max over pepsi as i find they're waaay too sweet but apparently having diet soda stalls weight loss and can even promote "fat gain" XD Some people get very creative with their own beliefs. Still waiting for that weight to stall.
Hey 100%? That's all I have going for me? LOL. Also, I have read something like that about diet soda....It was more like there are studies that imply the fake sugar and stuff is a bit harder to break down than regular sugar or something like that. Even if it were true, it wouldn't be significant and from how you stated that I doubt the person was just trying to provide helpful information. People can be so critical and a lot of time it isn't even their business or problem.
People really message other people about what's in their diary? I keep mine public because I eat between 1200-1300 and folks find that helpful, but no one is allowed to get all judgy mcjudgerson about it. That's lame.3 -

Well for me personally-I went into this whole thing with one goal, to normalize high/pre-diabetic glucose numbers. And I've nailed that goal with current numbers in the 80s and 90s. I'm the only one in my family who's reversed the progression of pre-diabetes, even though I was told by my old doctor that type 2 must be genetic since so many of my (overweight/obese) family members have/had it. And then the rest of my blood work panel is stellar too, with total cholesterol at 143 etc. Blood pressure is great, waist circumference is at 25 inches, I no longer have any medical conditions, don't take any prescriptions or otc meds and I'm one of the very few people who are successfully maintaining weight loss, long term. So for me-eating whatever the heck I want, with a focus on calorie intake, has worked pretty darn great 11 -
That's awesomeI'm on the "I eat everything if it's within my calories" plan. There have seriously been days when all I have had to eat was like 16 oatmeal raisin cookies. No regrets.
I have cookies and brownies and cake and candy almost every single day. Pizza like once a week. Burgers, fries, chicken nuggets. I don't even care.
I've lost nearly 80 lbs so I feel okay about it.
Thank you!1 -

Why not both? Why not meet macro goals AND have cookies if they fit?

Nutella is life. I put it in my plain Greek yogurt.
I also like to put it in overnight oats with some banana and a bit of cinnamon, or eat it straight out of the mother-kitten jar.5 -
I eat real food, some healthy, some not so great. I try to keep my protein high. I have an open diary, feel free to friend me.

Why do you think I rarely buy it? And when I do, it's single serve packages. There is no way I can fit a whole jar into my daily calorie allotment. 3 -
I used to dip kit kat fingers into my jar of nutella 4

Haha, yeah the temptation is always there. It's pretty pricey, though (at least in Alabama), so I try to go through a jar as slowly as I can.
Sometimes, though, I gotta pop the jar on my food scale and dig out a spoonful of the stuff....
