I can appreciate this comment. You're right. This may not be the experience for everyone because people may still struggle with overeating. I do believe that being calorie conscious and eating healthy food is the long term answer to weight loss. I do think that eating healthy food can help with overeating (for some people,…

What makes it healthy is that its non-processed wholesome foods. One thing I noticed is that when you eat unhealthy food your body craves more food because you're not feeding it the required nutrients so you're constantly looking to fulfill that need. When you eat healthy food, your actually not as hungry because your…

Clearly my post was not read. The list of food was not the cleanse. It was what I ate AFTER the cleanse. And when you say 'No' to what I wrote what exactly are you objecting to...healthy food? Worked for me and I couldn't be happier....Good luck Natalie :)

Smoothie cleanses have worked for me. It was an excellent way to train myself to regulate the amount of calories I was consuming because I was in a terrible habit of eating way in abundance and eating unhealthy food and this really helped me get things under control. After the cleanse, I found that I was able to eat a…

I used to use diet drinks many many years ago. Artificial Sweetners are not the greatest for you hence the 'artificial' in the name. I actually noticed changes in my vision after using them consistently. I would highly recommend that you stay away. Honey is a great sweetner. It's a way better alternative and because it's…

I gaurantee that this trick works and you don't have to go out any buy a supplement or anything like that!!!...The solution is boiling HOT plain water. I sip one large cup in the morning and one in the evening. You can even add one cup at lunch. Stay far away from cold, ice water. It does not help at all with digestion. As…

I actually think this seems like a well balanced diet. Thanks for posting.

Actually I listed a whole list of chemicals found in food following that post to back up my claim. There are natural preservatives as well, but there are a host of non-natural ones that you will find way more prevalent throughout your pantry. You just happened to miss my post. And actually I got A's in all my science…

Oh sooooooo now we want to get so technical to the last detail that you want to indicate what the MFP guidelines are. Interesting..so why can people not be slightly more technical in their advice to people and say that yes I eat junk food, but if I examine the food I eat on a day to day...I generally eat good food to lose…

The truth about what people are really eating. Not falsely claiming they eat WHATEVER they want, WHENEVER they want...

If you are not going to depict the true story then you shouldn't be providing advice to others that need it....

It's not about control it's about being responsible and not blankly using the word 'WHATEVER.'

They are obligated to speak truth and stop insinuating WHATEVER...it doesn't have to be a list...

'Maybe because eating 'whatever' they want includes a wide variety of foods, including both 'good' and 'bad' If this is the case then people should SAY THAT. This is my point...The word WHATEVER does not provide people with adequate information. It is misleading.

Simply not true...I think in the beginning of time we used to use natural forms of preservation but one only needs to look at their pantry to find an abundance of chemical ones. Harmful effect of preservatives; There are certain harmful effects of using chemicals for preservation such as ;Sulfites are common preservatives…

WHATEVER implies whatever. People are not providing enough context to that statement and are not being responsible. I have posted several times on various forums and have been met with angry comments...well I eat pizza everyday, or I eat Macdonald's everyday nobody can tell me otherwise! I completely advocate treats from…

This is actually false. They actually eat very clean - http://www.livestrong.com/article/316334-asian-diet-to-lose-weight

Preservatives are chemicals to make your food last longer. This is not natural. Food should spoil when it spoils. You should not be injecting it with stuff to make it last longer. So glad you clarified the following because most people tend to leave it at 'you can eat WHATEVER you want' - 'telling someone they can eat what…

I love your comment here because you are depicting what you normally eat (which is healthy) without disregarding the fact that you indulge in treats too and that is what we're supposed to do. This is completely and totally socially responsible. The issue is only with those who fail to depict their full story and…

YES...you should add this to every post. Anyone new to this forum would believe... based on the abundance of ridiculous comments that you can just eat whatever you want as long as it fits in your calorie goals. This is irresponsible and I've actually taken the liberty to look at people's diary's who advocate this and alot…

To me this is extremely concerning coming from a 'so-called' Certified Personal and Group Fitness Trainer. You should be socially responsible and teach your client to aim to eat clean at least 70% of the time. It seems like anyone can become a Certified Trainer these days and most of them are completely out of shape. Where…

I appreciate your reply, but if you are in the category where you are consuming WELL ABOVE the recommended requirements the salt won't get eliminated as it should based on the typical water consumption and the amount of sweat that gets eliminated from the body.

We're talking about perpetual states of SODIUM consumption. Periods and being a hungover are completely different and are point in time states.

I appreciate your comments. How does the sodium content stabalize when you continue to consume salt?

100% agreed, however, if your diet consistently consists of high sodium diet you will not be able to see your diet efforts working because you will be in a perpetual water retention state which is not optimal for the body and not condusive to seeing results.

So one can eat a diet extremely high in sodium, stay within their calorie count and still lose weight. I respectfully disagree. Unfortunately, you will have an extremely hard time losing... 100% fact.

I can totally appreciate your stance and your comment, however, unfortunately all calories are not created equal :( Case in point, calories that are highly concentrated in sodium will prevent you from losing weight. Similarly, products high in sugar make it hard for your body to burn fat. Although most people will say CICO…

You seem to have alot of time and energy to bash people. You wrote multiple comments within a half an hour with no returning response from the original poster...You sound a bit angry for no reason. It's always better to concentrate your energy on motivating and uplifting people rather than tearing them down.

Why do people say this such incredible statements. Eating healthy has everything to do with it. If you eat a diet high in sugar your body will find it much harder to burn fat.

Do not take my word for it that they would advocate healthy food with indulgence in moderation. The next time you visit your doctor or your dietician I urge you to specially ask them the foods they recommend for long-term weight loss (and health). You can get the information straight from the horses mouth.
