I agree that a lot of it is correlation. Still, me thinks that healthy food (high fiber, high protein, low sugar) = more energy = harder training and better recovery.
And for people who have no interest in "harder training" and following bro diets and bro splits to achieve "fantastic shape"? What do you recommend for them? Still need to avoid eating whatever your definition of processed food/junk food is?
I recommend trying eating a diet full of whole foods for a month and pay attention to how it affects your cognition and energy levels. If you think eating pasta if worth it still then go for it.
Have any objective evidence supporting superiority of this practice?
Try google. Keywords: inflammation, gut micro-biome, cognition, sugar/ glucose.
Lol. R U SRIUS. Google.
Not a source or objective evidence.
Keywords. Flat earth proof

So yeah, I'll continue to eat ice cream and pizza, and drink wine in moderation as part of an overall balanced diet, after achieving my weight loss goals and maintaining that healthy weight - get my 15K steps in at a slow pace, play with my kids instead of killing it at the gym, and continue to try to find fulfillment here as part of a member of this community.
Enjoy your broscience up there on your high horse. I'm sure the view is quite nice.
Some of us can’t eat ice cream and pizza. And some of us tried to be members of the community but were beaten into silence for relating our ‘CICO sure, but merely calorie counting wasn’t getting the scale to move for me’ experiences.
From our perspective we endured pedantic arguments and our points or questions stretched into straw man ridiculous statements and until we finally gave up. That is why some of us don’t stick around.
I have never seen a thread where someone was told that eating ice cream and pizza were *mandatory* in order to meet their goals.
"Calorie counting" (in the sense of logging and consistently hitting a calorie goal that puts one in a deficit) will work for everyone. This doesn't mean that everyone will be able to adhere to a calorie deficit regardless of the food choices they're making.
Some people find it easier to stay in a deficit when they employ certain strategies to ensure satiety -- these are things like reducing carbohydrates, focusing on volume, increasing protein, ensuring sufficient fiber, etc etc. When people find that certain things work for them and help them consistently stay in a deficit, I don't see them discouraged from doing those things. It's when they confuse these strategies with what is actually creating the weight loss (the deficit) or assume that these are strategies that all must adopt to be successful that things tend to get contentious.
I have never claimed or implied anyone said eating ice cream or pizza were mandatory. Example strawman.
There are plentiful posts saying “you don’t have to give up “X” and imo discouraging them from doing so. But I’m always told by the ‘regulars’ that I’m not reading it right... so I’m not going to be further engaged in giving examples for the usual suspects to deny (pedantically imo).
I just don’t think the continued participation or lack of participation in MFP boards confers any particular wisdom or insight. And decided to crawl out of my cave to say so. Lol
Thank you! I simply brought up that I've noticed this same sort over behavior as I've recently been perusing the boards. First impression and all that. There's a lot good information here definitely. But I made one simple challenge, and I've been bombarded with nothing but name calling, and defensive posturing. Yeah I was being hyperbolic, by likening it to cult like behavior. Someone used the term mischaracterize, well after seeing the response I don't think I was wrong. There's literally a group of some of these same people from this thread, in another right now saying you can replace water with coffee its totally fine, just log your creamer. Look I'm a total coffee nut and drink too much of it, but I'm not going to delude myself into thinking its fine because its mostly water.
See, I'm the one who used the word mis-characterize, and I posted in the coffee thread, so I'm gonna say I think you're mis-characterizing. The OP in that thread asked if she can count coffee in her water goal, and we told her yes. We didn't say she should replace all water with coffee. We didn't say she should drink a ton of coffee. In fact, if I'm remembering correctly, several answers told her if her pee is light, she's good.
Barring health concerns, there is nothing unhealthy about having a cup of coffee and it does hydrate. If she had asked, "can I just drink coffee all day rather than water", she would've gotten different answers.
Did you read her post as she wanted to drink nothing but coffee? Or do you believe that drinking 2 cups of coffee and 6 cups of water per day is unhealthy?
Yes, exactly. She even clarified: "Just don't want to give up my coffee, one of the few good things I have left!"
Personally (as someone who said coffee is fine, no need to count water, check your pee if worried), I'd never suggest someone not consume water, as I don't even understand not wanting to consume water, it is something I never even realized people had issues with pre MFP. I love water and feel better (probably mental) when I consume plenty of it. But this idea that people's health will be at risk if they get all their water from decaf coffee or tea (since of course caffeine can be consumed in excess) is odd (as well as irrelevant to what was actually asked in that particular thread), and I'd like the PP to explain how. Personally, as a post exercise/during exercise drink it would make me gag, but that's about the only thing I see, since it is basically water.5 -

So why exactly is pasta, which I have pretty often in many different styles - but usually sauteed shrimp, asparagus, zucchini and squash in an light olive oil and garlic sauce hurting my cognition? What cognition issues do you think I'm having? Energy levels are also just fine, for someone who works about 50-60 hours/week, has two young kids, keeps a tidy house and fits in a decent amount of exercise in my 24 hours each day as well.
Pretty much all research on health in the past 10 years has eluded to the the fact that everybody digests and reacts differently to certain foods. That is why I said that I would recommend trying for a month.

Why is pasta a bad thing to eat? Is this that anti carb thing again?
I eat mostly whole foods, and make eating lots of vegetables and sufficient protein my priorities, but I enjoy pasta and also find it a really easy fast and healthful meal -- something like pasta (I often do whole wheat and am exploring lentil based and the like) with shrimp and lots of vegetables (whatever I have on hand), maybe some olives or pine nuts or some other nut or seed, and olive oil. Why is that bad?
I did keto for a while, so cut out pasta (I continued eating lots of vegetables, but disliked not being able to eat potatoes or beans or pasta or fruit). I did not feel better eating that way.
I also think the idea that pasta is more processed then some of the things you apparently think are great (like butter) is weird. You can grind the grains at home if you really want. And once you have flour, making pasta is easy. Not work I usually bother with, but easy.6 -

I tried googling "Proof bigfoot is real" and that led to some delightful reading material. I'm convinced enough that I'm going to stock up on bacon to offer our future sasquatch overlords.30 -

You decided to talk about the whole clean/dirty thing. Just because you're in the "50% fact" category of Broscience doesn't mean you'll be uncontested on the "50%" magic. It's not dogma. It's just a scientific discussion and much like CICO it is one that has gone on since MFP was founded and will continue to go on as long as it's here.7 -

I agree that a lot of it is correlation. Still, me thinks that healthy food (high fiber, high protein, low sugar) = more energy = harder training and better recovery.
And for people who have no interest in "harder training" and following bro diets and bro splits to achieve "fantastic shape"? What do you recommend for them? Still need to avoid eating whatever your definition of processed food/junk food is?
I recommend trying eating a diet full of whole foods for a month and pay attention to how it affects your cognition and energy levels. If you think eating pasta if worth it still then go for it.
So why exactly is pasta, which I have pretty often in many different styles - but usually sauteed shrimp, asparagus, zucchini and squash in an light olive oil and garlic sauce hurting my cognition? What cognition issues do you think I'm having? Energy levels are also just fine, for someone who works about 50-60 hours/week, has two young kids, keeps a tidy house and fits in a decent amount of exercise in my 24 hours each day as well.
Pretty much all research on health in the past 10 years has eluded to the the fact that everybody digests and reacts differently to certain foods. That is why I said that I would recommend trying for a month.
Do what you want and I'm glad that you have found your way.eludedELUDED
I say eluded because most of the double blind research provides such varying results for different populations. That eludes to the fact that we react differently.
She's rolling her eyes because it's 'allude' not "elude".8 -
So, I'm curious: Should I count protein powder as a whole food, or not?WinoGelato wrote: »TicoCortez wrote: »
