I'm just speaking truth. I encourage you to speak yours as well :) ...my purpose is never attack but just because I'm not a doctor or a dietician I can't speak on what they are shown to recommend? I will leave it at that as I mentioned discussions on this topic can go on forever

Dieticians also

Thanks for reposting. Respectfully, the fact that this says physiological pH for dummies makes me question the validity somewhat. Definitely glad you posted as it is good tool for discussion.

I personally do not eat fast food but as I mentioned before I understand that this is not for everyone so I do feel like it's fair to create the correct balance for those that do indulge in it rather than claim that it's OK for an MD to hold the belief that there is no 'healthy food' or 'non-healthy' food. An MD would not…

Apples are different. They would in fact digest at the same rate. Typical fast food, which tends to have to 3 times the amount of fat vs when cooked at home (ex: cooked in less oil and grease, substitute oven fries instead of deep fred fries) is harder to digest.

A quick illustration to illustrate that our bodies digest certain foods easier than others: It takes about 24 to 72 hours for most people to digest food. However, because hamburgers are a fattier food, it can take up to three days to fully digest, according to research by Dian Dooley, an associate professor of Food Science…

Respectfully, doctors typically direct you to a food pyramid to ensure you are consuming a well balanced diet.

OMG, I totally noticed the same thing! (although I didn't have an 'odor problem. 'I thought I was the only one! I also noticed a change in the color of my sweat too. Thanks for sharing )

I'm really sorry you feel that way. Please tell me where I have shamed people? It is good for me to understand if I've used my speech inappropriately so I can adjust accordingly as my intentions are good. I feel like I simply shared my personal experience with food and indicated what a MD would tell you if you inquired…

The user said: 'I've worked with several doctors and nope, none of them told me to focus on eating a certain way, or labeled food 'healthy' vs 'not healthy.' The truth is no doctor would say cheeseburgers and fries is healthy, what they would say is to consume it in moderation. I realize that this person's entire diet…

I personally eliminated it over the last couple of months due to the effects I noticed in my body and have noticed great results because of it. I do realize it is nothe for everyone but I do advocate healthy options if one does consume fast food regularly.

I think that your ratio to junk food and healthy home cooked food seems totally balanced and is a good example to present to mfp users. Where I tend to want to delve deeper is when people somewhat suggest that people don't need to focus on healthy food. I'm very glad you indicated your ratio of quality food vs junk food.…

I think this is also a great option to opt for thin crust and include lots of vegetables on your pizza when you choose to indulge.

I actually think this is an example of a great nutritional 'fast food' option if you chose to indulge in fast food for the day.

I'm happy for your weight loss. I know it takes a lot of hard work and dedication. I do feel like if you asked your MD what he/she would recommend for long term weight loss, or what they think about frequent junk food in a persons diet they would tell you to eat healthy, monitor your calories and exercise. If they didnt…

@najranforever. You are completely right. I have also witnessed this first hand. Fast food is hard to digest and once I decided to cut this out I drastically saw results as hard as it can be to refrain from it. Every medical doctor or deitician in the world will tell you that eating healthy is a major part of weight loss…

What exactly do you think causes your body to suffer from hormonal inbalances, water retention, side effects from medicaton, and a host of other issues that in turn effect your weight?

What is the point of having a forum if CICO is the only thing people want to discuss. Why do we need to read any threads if this the FULL story? We have the ultimate answer right? Just because certain conditions or circumstances may not apply to you (ie. hormonal in balances, water retention, side effects from medication…

Thank you for speaking truth! CICO is all that seems to be discussed around here. We need to expand our way of thinking.

Clearly he has a lot of time on his hands...lol

There is clearly no convincing my fitnesspal users of anything other than CICO. I really hope you guys see the light one day...I truly, truly do because I really want everyone to be healthy and free of sickness and disease but if GMO''s, hormones and pesticides make you happy feel free to pump you body with these toxin.

Nothing wrong with GMO''s. Now I know there would be no argument in the world that would change your way of thinking sadly.

I realize that my aim in my posts is to never make anyone feel wrong about what they believe. My aim is to shed light on a topic in a manner that leaves people feeling informed. If I can help one person understand I'm happy. I understand that people may be opposed to seeing things differently but it is important to see…

So misinformed it's inbeleviable. What about the antibiotics in meat, what about the hormones pumped into animals, what about unhealthy preservatives, what about GMOs? Maybe you should read up on this and get better informed.

So the idea that you can eat toxic crap makes you feel better? (cookies, ice cream etc). More power to you. That's absolutely your choice. For those who want to live a healthy lifestyle and lose weight I suggest you challenge what people have claimed works (clearly many people arent seing any results by the posts we see…

I totally agree that desk jobs have a lot to do with it as well. But I think that due to modern day society we simply don't have the option to walk to work or the nearest store or to a mall due to distance and time constraints... but we can 100% take control of what goes into our mouths.

I have struggled with the same problems for years. Ever since I signed up on MFP everyone has always said it boils down to calories in vs calories out. After doing this for years I never lost weight. But if you think about human beings from the beginning of time who were almost never overweight...it dawned on me that not a…
