I was in the community forum and MFP has a video up of recipes. I am watching as they add 8 oz of cream cheese, a whole stick of butter a cup of mini chocolate chips and 2.5 tablespoons of vanilla and a pinch of salt blend it all up and show it being dipped with crackers. Humm.... that recipe has enough fat in it to blow your diet for a month. Love Cream Cheese and love butter but no way am I eating that and still losing weight. Ya think the might want to put some healthy recipies on there for the folks on her that are serious about losing weight. LOL -43 pounds and working on more. Oh I get it those are what you should not eat recipes LOL

I think those videos are ads... not from MFP.4

It sounds yummy. If it was something I wanted, I would make it fit my calories and still be able to lose weight. :5
-
I would completely just eat that with a spoon.6

<====== almost just touched.... ohh I mean it sounds BAADDD!! REAL BAD! LOL Bad Psychod787... BAD psychod787..... I had to swat my own nose with a rolled up newspaper! See what you did!3

Not everyone is here to lose weight. Some people are here to maintain and others are here to gain.12
-
Do you have a link to said recipe?
Also fat isn't what makes you fat...excess calories are.12 -
I eat cream cheese and butter and chocolate and all kinds of food because weight management is calories not deprivation and only one type of food.5

You'd be surprised what you can fit into a diet. In the last 3 days I have had sweet and sour chicken (fried), a 7 topping pizza, potato chips, and a candy bar. It all fit in my calorie budget with no problems.1

Did you happen to note the number of servings 8oz cream cheese, 1 stick butter, 1 cup choc chips and vanilla makes? I'm pretty damn sure this isn't a "single-serve" recipe. There is something to be said about moderation.7 -
So don't make it. Lots of people manage to fit indulgences into their calorie plan and lose weight. It doesn't have to be ALL kale smoothies and salad and poached chicken with broccoli.4

Successful weightloss (which is ability to maintain that loss) depends on building sustainable habits. Finding ways to eat food you like, is part of that. A better understanding of nutrition, and of how we are wired, is necessary. Your concerns will crumble when you figure out that you can eat whatever you like and lose weight, as long as you don't eat too much over time, that there are no fattening foods, and no foods we should or shouldn't eat. Welcome to MFP!5

What’s unhealthy about cream cheese and butter?
For someone eating a lchf model diet I should think that recipe sounds perfect. Or for anyone in fact as a treat, that they can make fit into their calorie deficit.
Simple answer, if it doesn’t fit you diet model or your taste buds then don’t make it and don’t eat it!5 -
It appears that recipe makes more than a pound of that stuff. You would have to do some "interesting" mental gymnastics to assume this is meant to be eaten in one sitting or in large amounts. I would wager that having an appropriate serving of that would have 10-20 grams of fat tops even if you use a full fat cheese. Not nearly enough to ruin a meal of dieting, let alone a month.5

It's different for everyone and that will baffle me forever. It's all about what works for your body. For example.
A friend and I both joined MFP to diet together, she lost her goal of 70pds, me I achieved my weight loss goal of 40 pounds. We both have maintained for a year.
I eat meager healthy meals, watch my carbs, fat and sugar and eat no more than 1200 cals a day. I don't do sweets. My job has me on my feet 8k steps a day and I walk in the park 3 miles a day to burn (according to map my fitness) 300 cals
She, however, eats at least 2200 cals a day with a third of them her snacks. She ends her day with a 1.5 cups of ice cream, a fudge brownie and chocolate sauce. She has a sedentary lifestyle, but map my fitness says she burns 300 cals sitting at her desk. Her carbs are triple mine. She does not exercise and swears that the high-fat/sugar content is the reason she lost weight.
For one week I tried to mimic her diet (Not eat as much) and I put on 4 pounds.
It's what works for each individual. Maybe for some people more fat burns fat???
