Reading along in that thread is kind of like watching a train wreck - it's horrifying but I can't look away.
That thread is ridiculous and generalizes people and their needs. The fact is that it is 100% WRONG. You can eat ANYTHING under your calorie goal and lose weight...IF you have self-control. The fact is not about if you can handle the pressure or not. You technically *would* lose weight if you could handle it. Some people do not have that self-control and that is OKAY and not their fault, but it doesn't change the facts of calories-in-calories-out.
Exactly! And I feel kind of bad because it's like 5-10 veterans having to repeat themselves over and over to like 2 people who are just adamant that they are right about only eating clean (or whatever they are arguing about now) and refusing to listen to veterans who have done this for YEARS and are still doing this and are trying to help people. It makes me sad that threads like that have scared a lot of veterans away.2 -
Although I'm kind of wishing pizza was for dinner tonight now though.

Yeah a lot of good vets got banned too for being honest and giving advice that people perceived as "mean".3 -

Hey I dont really like dominos but I agree those toppings were odd...except the onions looked good. But this is why we each can have our own pizza

And the crust was burned! That is almost blasphemous as that is the best part of the pizza for me. LOL
ETA- I wanted to do so many different things at the Domino's I managed but corporate only "took my ideas into consideration". That was code for we will keep serving what we serve. But the dough was fresh and the cheese is real mozzarella.1 -

We definitely don't agree there LOL I sometimes (often) throw the crust away! My boyfriend loves the crust so if I dont he eats it for me 75% of the time.1 -
That thread is ??? I need to go back and see what started it all. But, I'm afraid it is like the chicken and the egg. Which came first???2

What I like to do is fold the last bites of the slice over the crust and kinda have a cheesy breadstick type thing.2 -
And neither my hubby nor I eat the crust on pizza. Too much starch for him, and I don't like white bread.1
