    Yes! To all of the above... except Twinkies as we don't have them in the UK, but I eat stuff similar.

    This whole time I've been thinking that Twinkies was a type of chocolate - it sounds like it should be! Google told me otherwise haha

    Yes to everything Twinkies. Don't have them here in the UK.

    I would mainline sugar if I could. I'm in recovery...

    I eat all those things (well, twinkies, not so much. I prefer cookies). I'm not fat.

    Funny thing, i ate the same sorts of things when I was fat; just more of them, and I didn't exercise.

    Do you eat carbs? yes

    WHITE carbs? yes

    Straight up sugar? tons

    Alcohol? almost never

    Meat? sometimes

    Cheese? tons

    Dairy? kind of

    Twinkies? not really, but candy bars - yes.

    ETA:

    Processed food? absolutely

    Fast food? I love Arby's.

    If yes, raise your hand.

    Eating in this method I lost 25 lbs then gained back a whopping 5 of them. I am much smaller, wear a 4 instead of a 12 / 14, and while I might not have enough nutrition (like vitamins and such from fresh plants) I enjoy eating crap and will continue to eat crap while getting even more 'not fat'. :)

    Did you kill someone? Because there's nothing guilty about eating these foods in moderation and enjoying treats in conjunction with exercise and proper nutrition.

    All of the above, except for alcohol and sugar.

    I just don't like to waste the calories on sugar when calorie free sweeteners are available and taste the same to me.

    "Not fat" is pretty subjective. I'm not medically considered "overweight" so I might count as "not fat."

    Do you eat carbs?
    H*ll and yes.

    WHITE carbs?
    Occasionally.

    Straight up sugar?
    Not like out of the container, but I occasionally eat things that contain refined sugar.

    Alcohol?
    Yes.

    Meat?
    No, but this is an ethical thing, not a health thing. (Although I do feel healthier when I don't eat meat, and my chronic GI problems went away.)

    Cheese?
    I recently lost a taste for it.

    Dairy?
    Very rarely, but for ethical reasons, not health.

    Twinkies?
    I've never liked them.

    ETA:

    Processed food?
    Occasionally.

    Fast food?
    Which Wich and the rare taco bell bean burrito without cheese. Fast food doesn't serve much else that I'll eat.

    Yep!!

    I eat whatever I want to eat (though I am trying to curb the chocolate but that is IBS related not weight related).

    The idea of foods being "bad" pisses me off. No FOOD is bad people make bad choices when it comes to servings of these foods.

    Am I not fat? I'm at a healthy weight.

    Do you eat carbs? Duh, I'd be a comatose zombie if I didn't.

    WHITE carbs? No.

    Straight up sugar? No, natural sweeteners.

    Alcohol? Sometimes.

    Meat? Yes, but usually only chicken or seafood, I don't like beef or pork.

    Cheese? Yes, 2% or fat free.

    Dairy? Yes, see above.

    Twinkies? Hell no.

    ETA:

    Processed food? I try to avoid it, but I'm not so strict that it drives me crazy.

    Fast food? If I'm out and about and need to eat, yes, I choose the healthiest option possible.

    Everything bar the meat (not eaten it for 20 years) and the Twinkies (in the UK but would if available). As I am tall, its not that obvious that I am overweight.

    I haven't cut anything completely out of my diet. I never liked Twinkies, but I eat an occasional sweet. I have just cut back. I find that the thing I've cut back the most on - as far as a daily basis goes, is sodium. I used to be a salt-a-holic. I still miss it, to tell the truth, but I'm convinced that with enough time, I won't even notice. And I've added more water. That's it.

    Yes on 'bout all counts - guilty, guilty, and guilty... :(

    My point was that you CAN eat all these things and be "not fat" and/or successful at losing weight.

    I consume...

    Plenty of carbs

    Some, but very few, white carbs

    Very rarely do I eat refined sugar (only on spike days)

    No alcohol

    Fish on rare occasions, but otherwise no meat

    Some cheese and dairy, but not much (due to Gall Bladder problems)

    No twinkies, but I'll have homemade baked goods on special occasions or spike days (brownies, cake, etc)

    Some processed food (pretty much all food is processed these days), but little to no chemically altered food

    No fast food (not even for a salad)

    And I'm pretty thin, definitely not fat... but also extremely healthy: low HDL Cholesterol, great blood pressure, and a TON of energy. Just because some people can look "thin" while eating junk doesn't mean they don't have high percentage body fat, cholesterol, and blood pressure. And then there are the rare few that can eat junk, have low percentage body fat, low cholesterol, low blood pressure and tons of energy. Something tells me it will catch up to them eventually...

    At any rate, I just really, genuinely enjoy mindful eating.

    I'm just saddened by the lack of Twinkie love going on around here. It's just wrong.

    And why is it a bad thing that a food never goes bad? I see that as a plus.

    So are you saying that you are more "healthy" than the other people who have replied to this post?
