Cheese pizza is so bblah imo
Depends on which cheeses.
I admit, I prefer mine with lots of nice veggies, maybe some fresh basil . . . .
. . . but cheese-only is only blah if blah cheese, as is typical in the frozen ones, and common in the chains. Get some chevre, feta, good fresh mozz, or similar goodies in there in the proper distribution, with some really nice sauce, and it's pretty darned edible.
Oh, and: Detroit style? From the Hut? Uh-uh. Looks like they just re-labeled deep dish. More like this, if you ask me, sitting here in Michigan the way I am and all:
1 -
wood fired pizza is "the bomb"!
mozzarella, fontina and provolone are good, maybe with a little sharp cheddar.
2 -
I do not like ribs with a ton of sauce like this2 -
I like a little meat with my sauce.1
-
chicken tenders > nuggets3

To be frank- I think people who eat half a plate full of veggies typically with chicken and fish for near EVERY meal are toxic to the reality of weight loss and true health and fitness- no actual person I’ve ever followed that has been successful for the long run in health and fitness eats THAT much veggies and such bland dull food. It’s discouraging to people who struggle to lose weight and only see plates of white meat and veggies; then in turn they feel like “I’m a failure for eating.... cheese, bread, cookies” what have you. YES EAT VEGGIES but don’t listen to the *kitten* that only praise a plate of broccoli with chicken that looks only cooked and seasoned with some Johnny salt. PUKE. You can eat real delicious foods you LOVE and lose weight!
And this is why I have no friends lol13 -

I'll stop short of saying people who choose a diet of only bland veggies and chicken/fish are masochists, but...
I had shrimp curry (w/ water chestnuts, bell peppers, bamboo shoots, and broccoli) and rice for dinner, and I've made a delicious chicken white chili. Last week, to try out a new immersion blender, I made a chicken salad out of canned chicken breast from Costco, adding bell pepper, celery, and (for a kick) one habanero pepper.
To each his own, but for me a diet is only possible if I find a balance between pure discipline and pure enjoyment.
P.S. @pancakerunner, give me those ribs any time! (well, not any time, but once in a while is fine) 3 -

Right!?! Absolutely I love curry! I eat chicken regularly- I love veggies; don’t misunderstand- but FFF can people stop with a plate of egg whites and veggies for breakfast, and stop with nothing but plain fish and chicken on the side with a huge plate of veggies- sure sometimes that’s great! With the right seasoning of course : ) but for EVERY gosh darn meal GMAB. I’d love to follow up with these people 10 years later and see where their at? If this is truly someone’s jam, cool, go for it-1 -

Very well said.
No food is health food if you aren't healthy about eating it.6 -
I hate green peppers and golden raisins!0

-
I'm a lazy vegetarian who likes and eats fake meat regularly.3

In all honesty, most fast food items aren't any more unhealthy than what you'd get at any other restaurant... actually, more than likely higher-end places add MORE junk to their food or are more liberal with oils, etc.1

I would 100% eat that cookie! The bottom one not so much.4 -
Celery is not even food. It is only good for spooning peanut butter into your mouth.3

Here's one for the day that's in it:
I prefer thick American style pancakes. (this is unpopular in Ireland.) Our thin ones just aren't as good and they burn more easily!
Happy Pancake Tuesday everyone! 😁🎉🥞😍

i don't think "traditional" fruits like apples, oranges and bananas are as "healthy" as everyone thinks... compared to other foods they are actually pretty high in sugar and calories and pretty nutrient poor.1

Depends on what you're after (as always). For me, these fruits give me a nice boost of potassium to balance out the sodium I have to be careful about. They're also nicely hydrating; and if you're an old-time sailor at sea on a long voyage, citrus fruit will certainly do you some good.6 -

I have to agree Ido not eat much regular fruit. I love Meyer lemons, dred figs, and soft dried persimmons, dried thick papaya ( one they do not make anymore though). Dried pears, apple chips and dried chili mango. All stuff dried lol0 -

I rarely eat fruit too...however, I have lemons everyday. Dried figs/dates/prunes are a only a treat from time to time. However, I bought a grapefruit the other day...minded me that I do quite like them.
Berries (blackberries/raspberries in particular) are good - just not a frequent thing for me.
