That's the second half of the sentence, but does not provide the OP's version of clean eating, which is necessary if people are going to give advice and recipes.

Define "clean eating"

I even italicized it in my post.... In a follow-up interview conducted nine months later, the professor had gained back an earth-shattering two pounds. (He also increased his calories from 1600 per day to 2200 per day.)

So how is it that people don't go back to eating "normally" again if they lose weight by eating healthier food? Why is it that people only "yo yo diet" if they learn to eat "junk food" in moderation as part of a calorie deficit, but somehow they don't "yo yo diet" if they completely abstain from junk food while they are…

If they eat at a calorie deficit, they will lose weight. There's nothing magical about healthy, nutritious foods that will make people lose fat whereas eating cookies and Twinkies will make people lose muscle. A professor at Kansas State University actually did lose weight eating primarily Twinkies; not only did he lose…

I make mine out of irrigation tubing and plastic threaded pipe connectors. Once you've done one, it's very easy.

For folks who are in chronic pain, the pain is probably the bigger issue. The OP's loved ones can be happy all they want, but that is irrelevant in terms of the OP's quality of life.

You may not be able to eat as much on option B, but if the calories are the same, then it will not make a difference.

Doctors can also test for parasites, you know...

I was far beyond oral meds. If you do take it, you absolutely, positively cannot drink on it. Period. Did you tell your doc you've been drinking to cope with the pain, or that you are an alcoholic? Because there's a distinct difference between the two. You need to flat-out ask for a referral to a psychologist who…

I dealt with opioid addiction years back thanks to a chronic pain condition which has led to nerve damage. Opioids are relatively harder to obtain than alcohol (I had a prescription for fentanyl patches), but I've definitely been on the addiction bandwagon. Talk to your doctor. See if you can get a referral to a…

You must have missed the "hateful science" thread.

Hoop-dance is great! I make my own hoops, and use them when I teach classes at the University!

PLEASE UNDERSTAND THAT PEOPLE MAY NOTICE BUT JUST NOT SAY ANYTHING!!! Weight loss is still an uncomfortable subject for some people to talk about, especially if you have a lot of weight to lose. Also, if you have a lot to lose, you may find it more reinforcing to track moments where you notice your own weight loss, like…

Please describe the dangers of processed foods and provide credible sources to support your claim. Please provide credible sources to support the concept of junk food addiction. Healthy eating and a focus on calories/weight are not mutually exclusive. Please define "natural living".

Citation needed. How is cottage cheese contributing to the rise of common health problems, cancers, and other diseases?

All good :) I'm still held up on the physics (I fully admit I may be majoring in the minors - this is not the first thread where that's been suggested, and I am sure it will not be the last - , but I'm going to do it anyway). From what I gather, TEF has relatively little effect on weight loss, especially in the long-term…

I did read that one; however, if you Google (I know...) "calories thermodynamics", this paper is one of the first results. My educational background and current occupation are in statistics (I have managed to successfully avoid formal instruction in physics, although that has taken some active effort on my part); I was…

It is indeed! I posted this in the Nutrition Debate forum; please feel free to join in over there. http://community.myfitnesspal.com/en/discussion/10357285/calories-vs-2nd-law-of-thermodynamics#latest

Can you post a study, then, that disproves the laws of thermodynamics? Because that's what CI/CO boils down to.

I admit nothing! Is that the correct answer? Also, margarine, because I can't spray butter on popcorn.

Seeing as how you are still alive, I'm guessing your case of dysmenorrhea was nonfatal. You have symptoms related to a hormonal cycle, but the title of your post includes the words "extreme hormonal imbalance". And yet, you have nothing to support your claim that your hormones were extremely imbalanced. You're still…

But the title of this thread is Carbs cause cancer - scientific proof. There's a big difference between "LCHF lowers the risk of cancer" and "carbs cause cancer"

1. You're in a healthy weight range for your height, so it's going to be tougher to create a caloric deficit. What is your goal weight? 2. If you're not exercising, you should probably drop your caloric intake to compensate. You keep a deficit of 2500-2700? Per day? Hoping that's per week. Yeah, if you did a lot of…

Please be aware of the difference between a study and an article. Additionally, your opinion has no bearing whatsoever on the actual facts of weight loss. Quality of food does not matter at all for weight loss. That is fact. It matters for nutrition, but not weight loss. Weight loss is calories in, calories out. A person…

So (and I'm going to be blunt here) the weight gain you mentioned in your original post was because you were drinking Shakeology and still eating as much as you were prior; that's on you, not Shakeology. Did you get your hormones tested? Or are you claiming hormones because hot flashes so must be hormones? I'm not a…

Don't get me wrong, I have had days where I've eaten pizza for breakfast, lunch, and dinner, just.... not all at once.

Hamburgers. Pizza. Beans and rice. Tacos. Enchiladas. Lentils. Curry.

Let's also use age 60 and older. Aging happens. If it were 65% of the population age 40 and up, that might be cause for concern; but at age 60 or so, I'm less convinced that there's a problem that can be pinned on sulfites or processed foods specifically.

Didn't think it was legal to not put something on a nutrition label; that label looks pretty complete. What in there is "hidden"? Additionally, I believe "proprietary blend" means they don't have to state the concentrations of certain ingredients, but they do have to list them. Seems like they're all there.
