Yeah, I hear where you're coming from. My favorite is actually B&J's NY Super Fudge Chunk, but I can literally fit in twice as much "regular" ice cream for the same calories (I could always eat less than a pint at a time, but where's the fun in that?). So, currently, I can fit in the regular stuff, so I'm able to avoid the…

Personally, if I can't enjoy what I'm eating (in this case, ice cream), any calories I "save" are wasted anyway. So I'd rather just eat the good stuff. One of the advantages in tracking my calories is that I now eat many more treats. I recently realized that Breyers has changed many (most?) of their line from ice cream to…

I can certainly understand eating "clean," if that's your dietary goal (not sure what your definition is, exactly, however). It's hard to understand a male having problems hitting 2120 calories, however (clean or not).

You're saying you've gained weight as a result of emotional issues dealing with this guy? And you're still debating whether you should keep seeing him? You'll keep seeing him, and it's no one else's business but your own, since you're the only one getting hurt by it (he certainly isn't going to pay for it), but just for…

I've already addressed this, but I'll also point out that some of those "thousands of posts" are face-palming kitty gifs. Just sayin'. ETA - Off for the night. You guys can have the "last word."

When someone says "I'm not losing weight. Please look at my diary." then you're correct. Some assumption has to be made as to the poster's authenticity (at least initially), or there is no starting point for discussion. (This doesn't change the fact that there are times when an individual's diary entries are called into…

It doesn't matter whether you believe me or not, since I'm not interested in changing anyone else's views on what they eat. I've met my goals, and have no axe to grind. And you shouldn't believe anyone (and yes, that includes me) that presents unverifiable information in order to make their argument.

Well, the "gain" would be to prove a point for your argument (some seem to consider this important, especially in forums). And I'm not saying your diary is incorrect, but the fact remains all diary entries aren't verifiable, period. But you know this.

I could post a lot of unverifiable info about my health also. Would you believe that? Yeah, I thought so.

Look, stop trying to rain on everyone's parade (all this "watch what you eat" talk). If someone loses close to 100 lbs., they are obviously in better health, regardless of whatever so-called "junk" food they currently eat. Let them enjoy their treats, their improved self-image, and their (relatively) longer life span…

Quoted For Truth

So you don't want to drink water due to the fact that it increases your weight?

Well stated. I think the problem with you "clean eating" folks is just that you need better marketing. It's hard to compete with a pic showing someone shoving greasy food into their mouth.

Did anyone mention the bon-bon's yet?

I'm not too concerned with what others consider "cheating." My quality of life takes a much higher precedence. Diet pills? Never tried any, haven't researched any, and don't even think they work (although I could be wrong). If there was a "diet pill" that did work, I couldn't imagine it being too good for me otherwise. As…

There's nothing wrong with an individual limiting aspects of their diet, based on any number of criteria (even that which appears arbitrary to others). There are foods some eat (or don't) based on taste, and some decisions are even based on what the individual perceives (whether incorrectly or not) as health benefits. I'm…

Note that nowhere was it stated that "1lb of muscle weighs more than 1lb of fat," so I'm not really sure what you're trying to refute here. Most reasonable people understand that the statement "muscle weighs more than fat" is referring to its density. I don't know why this "debate" still surprises me, however, given the…

Well, if it's any consolation, your adamant refusal to listen to any opinions that don't directly confirm your own bias has certainly impressed me (but I'm kinda new here, so what do I know?).

I hope this isn't a misdirected jab at me, because I said nothing about peanut butter. I doubt it, but, then again, why would you repeat my sentence verbatim otherwise? Hmmm...? Well, maybe it's a misdirected jab at the other guy... "Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery." (I think I read that somewhere once.)

Before I take a stance on this particular issue, could you please clarify what constitutes "rude, insulting, or any other type of unsupportive comments." (And if you think any of my posts fall into the aforementioned categories, that would be nice to know also!) :flowerforyou:

Well, she's no less special to me than you are, so there's that...

Perhaps you missed the fact that sugar causes her issues (e.g. headaches). Although with these forums, I'm starting to think it's intentional.

So you're mentioning how a 1/4 cup of ice cream is a serving, and you have 8 pints of B&J's in your freezer? Do you have your groceries airlifted to you?

Someone who's been a member of this site for over a year, and posts about cutting "cheat foods," which is a topic on these forums, oh, about 5 times a day. Definitely not a troll.

I'm sure most here have plenty of sympathy for your plight.

Seems like a troll, but I'll bite. You "binge" for one or two days, and then you exercise for a whole 3 hours? That certainly wouldn't make up for it. Oh, and anyone doing something even remotely like this should seek professional help, and not ask internet strangers for advice, just in case there are any legitimate…

If you're a "scientist," you should be familiar with the "appeal to authority" logical fallacy. And shouldn't you be doing some "sciencey" stuff? These forums are too low-brow for you.

Don't chimps eat their poop (or maybe they just throw it...I always get those two confused)?

OP, you need to understand that regardless of any potential issues with sugar consumption (or fat, etc., pick your "poison"), it simply isn't practical to expect individuals to eliminate this from their diet. Many on here have struggled with weight issues for their whole life, and there is no way that something as…

Who are these people that say "you're losing slowly, you need to speed up your loss to 2lbs a week or so?" and why is what they think important to you? Of course, there's always someone who loses faster than you (for a variety of reasons), but since your goal isn't to be "skinny" (not so sure what you mean by that), that…
