Geez, I'm so tired of all these rants about what other people are doing and not doing. Unless you have a degree in nutrition and exercise, I'm not trying to hear what you have to say. Let people eat and exercise how they want to. How does it hurt you, if someone else isn't eating enough/working out enough IF you are? Worry about yourself and your weight loss and Lead by your ACTIONS NOT YOUR RANTS.
Thank you!
Quoted for emphasis! OP how's the weather up there on that high horse?
You come off as extremely condescending and rude.0 -
Regardless of metabolism, eating multiple meals (4 or more) a day keeps me from getting crazy hungry and making bad choices. My brother, on the other hand, maintains his healthy weight by eating one meal a day and having one snack a day. We are not all the same, and we all have to find what works in our lives. What REALLY works.
I do get a little frustrated at the posts of , "I am doing everything exactly right and it isn't working". I hate to contradict the obvious.....

I can totally concur with everything you are saying, and I feel that I too am making healthier choices without sacrificing taste or being left feeling hungry. It amazes me everyday the crap I see people putting into their bodies with no remorse for what they are doing. It further amazes me when these same people whine and cry about how they feel bad or have certain health issues. In part, I feel our society is to blame. I am not by any means giving a pass. Just because there is a Krispy Kreme and a McDonald's on every corner doesn't mean you have to stop and feed your inner glutton. Sadly, however, some people will never change and in the end it is and has always been "survival of the fittest". I think Mother Earth rejoices in this fact as she is working ever so hard to support the 6 billion or so people that inhabit her surface. Six billion is triple what she should be able to maintain. So in essence, the gluttonous behavior of the majority of our population is Mother Earth's diet plan to shed a few people.0

People that are serious about weight loss will find what's right for them. Until they ask me for advice, I'm not gonna worry about it.0

I am amazed at the public food diaries I see. I don't understand how my MFP peeps expect to lose weight cramming all their calories in one, maybe two meals.
I'm not so sure it really matters when you eat your calories. There are some days I eat half of mine in one meal, but hasn't hindered me in the slightest. The body doesn't care if you eat three meals, two or seven.
I think it is better for your metabolism, to eat regularly. I have 3 meals, plus 2/3 snacks at regular intervals.
You know that's a myth, right? Having more frequent meals/snacks does **** all for your metabolism.
Why do people still believe this? Seriously.0 -
It's not healthy to eat all of your calories in one sitting. You will have an extremely high fat percentage, and your metabolism will pretty much be shot. BUT, you can still lose weight by doing it. Some people are not here to get healthier, lower body fat %, etc. They are simply here to lose weight.0

While I agree that multiple meals is a great way to go - Sadly, if you eat all your calories in one meal, or all your calories through out the day - Your body doesn't actually care. Its all a numbers game, really.
While I agree that processed foods are crappy for you - If they are within numbers and macros, they will likely lose weight.
I, however, eat 1200 calories and gain weight. I eat 2400 and maintain....-=Sigh=- I HAVE to weight train to see any impact what-so-ever.0 -
I am not quite as passionate about other people as you. It does seem silly that I have friends that refuse to prepare vegetables even for their children. I have friends that say they don't know how to cook. I think they don't consider that they are responsible for their children's nutrition. Kids can't live off of fruity pebbles and cheetoes :flowerforyou:0

Some people generally don't have time to exercise: night workers for example, say they work 8pm-8am, they come home and go straight to sleep, get up, have a bath and food then off they go again. It's wrong to make assumptions that people are basically being lazy and making excuses for not eating healthily and not exercising.
Some days i eat 2 meals a day others i eat 3 and have 3 snacks, it's all about what works for the person. I've managed to lose weight doing so therefore i'm not going to change my ways0 -
The best diet is one you can adhere to for the long term, wether you eat once a day, or 10 times a day. The most important thing is being able get your body into a moderate calorie deficit, while getting the proper macros and micros.0

I sometimes eat 6 meals a day but haven't bothered changing my diary to reflect that. It is still recorded at Breakfast, lunch and dinner. I just record them in the the three sections. Perhaps, many others are doing the same...0
-
I've tried the many small meals thing and I hated it. I never felt satisfied. I eat light during the day and eat/drink whatever I want and just enjoy myself in the evenings and it's been working great for me.0
-
What works for one person doesn't necessary work for the next...
This chika has to eat often throughout the day to keep myself on a constant fuel - it would be nice if I wasn't constantly hungry, believe me when I say I don't eat that light either...
All I can do is suggest to anyone who is not having success doing it one way to try the other... but what everyone else does not affect me.0 -

My thoughts exactly.
My diary is public in hopes of constructive feedback not judgemental rants.0
