Who am I kidding? Nobody is going to look at the label- they're just going to eat it. I swear that if little bags of chips weren't available anymore, the big bags would become the new size you'd eat for a snack. Heh.
No, no "official" diet for me. Just try to hit 3Kcal/day. Carb, protein, fibre, it all goes in.
Amen! Yes! Woot Woot! +10!!! Don't *EVEN* get me started..... *sigh*.... and we wonder why diabetes, cancer, heart disease and degenerative diseases are pandemic now.... simple! Most people eat stuff that came out of boxes instead of nature. I'm guilty, too.... being on a tight budget often means I make choices that don't totally reflect my values, but I fill our weekly menus with as much fresh *REAL* food as we can ingest and afford.
There is nothing wrong with eating these things.
... other than the fact that nothing in it exists in nature. We process, bleach, refine and synthesize our "foods" to the point that they no longer even resemble foods that our body has a clue how to deal with. And then, to get away with more caloric abuse, we create ultra fake foods and genetically monkey decent crops into frankenfoods so our body doesn't even recognize them as food anymore. *sigh*
I could go on and on and on and on and on and on.... but this is a HUGE topic, for another thread in another forum.
And on that note, I will retire from this thread or I'll be searching and posting article links and typing all day lol
I dont eat that crap ergo I'm not fat,so I resent the ''we'' in the op thread title
"We" of course is being used in the generic here, though certainly I can be counted among the specific "we."
Some things we found last year while shopping in the US

That's two issues I've had a problem with over the years. The deceptive "per serving" calorie count on things you neither make into the prescribed servings and whose servings are not what anyone would call any sort of meal in the first place. Then the gradual increase in the size of bags of chips and stuff that were only made larger to hide a price hike. (They make it, say, 10% larger to hide a 15% price hike.)
If only it were that easy. Unfortunately a lot of the stuff in food is unsuitable for vaping -- stuff that contains oils, emulsifiers, preservatives, etc. I don't think you'd want to vape that. (To be fair, essential oils can be used in E-liquid if you do it right.)
Is this the sort of diet that ends each day with a brisk 5K run?
Apropos of nothing, I was in a gas station over the weekend and saw this monstrosity. I had to buy it, because I thought that it represented exactly why we have such an obesity problem these days.
Half. Pound. Peanut butter cup.
I don't even know how I'd go about eating this, never mind whether I will or not.
The ridiculous thing? The nutritional information on the back shows that it's 190 calories ... per 1/6th of thecupmug. Why 1/6th? How do you even divide this thing up into sixths? Slice it like a cake? Why do they insist on showing calorie count for an impractical portion of the whole?
Good lord. I want this. In my mouth. Right. Now.
Random bit of trivia I read in a book somewhere: Evolutionarily, we're adapted to the world of roughly 50,000 years ago. We enjoy fat and sweets so much because our bodies are from a world in which they're scarce. Back then, it made survival sense to scarf such energy-rich foods whenever we came across them, so our brains wired themselves to reward us whenever we ate them. Nowadays, it's detrimental because they're so easily accessible.
Oh, yes. It was "This Is Your Brain On Music" by Daniel J. Levitin, PhD. Very interesting read about the neuroscientific aspects of why music has such a strong effect on us.
Srsly, folks, this is so far beyond the pale that I don't even know what to say. I'm not a big guy by any stretch, and I do my best to eat healthy and stay active, but it's really a conscious effort to do so. It's expensive, and time-consuming. Not just to prepare, but even just to find things that aren't packed with garbage.
It's really sad that there's so much money being spent on campaigns telling you to eat better, when there's absolutely no drive to make healthy food more accessible. Over half my grocery bills every month go towards produce, and that's with me trying to cut my losses and eat healthy *most* of the time. I'm seriously considering converting half my back yard into a vegetable garden.
I'm just hoping I can avoid the mid-30s waistline expansion that has claimed my male forebears. I really don't want to see what an extra 75 pounds on my frame looks like. Unless of course, it's coupled with the ability to bench-press a Buick.
chocolate + peanut butter = my kryptonite.
now where can i buy this heart attack in a bag!

Aha! Now we know your weakness!
I'll keep you in peanut butter cup bliss, if you keep me in pluid! *wink wink*.... deal? deal? haha
Obesity and diabetes are a lifestyle choice, we shouldn't have to pay healthcare for these people...
Well, whatever our evolutionary response is, it needs to just clam the hell up. I have enough trouble losing weight.
I tried eating some of the peanut butter cup. Jebus, it's like peanut butter cup overload. Too much chocolate, too much peanut butter, too much everything. And this.
The only way for me to combat obesity, was to make sure i could bench press my own weight.
Cardio helps too.
But, i can only bench 210lbs... i weigh in at 240
girlfriend = nutritious healthy food
mom = heart clogging deliciousness
It's just to hard to say no to mom.
I consider myself a short/fat/european version of Mike Tyson...
or at least i wish i was, lol

ermagherd, i need that! mmmm...

That is one badass peanut butter cup!!!!! That is all i could think of to say.....its early.
Bah!!! You only live once, might as well enjoy it.
A lot of times diet and lo-fat food can end up being less healthy for you than the extra calories. I doubt many people tried a diet soda for the first time and went "Oh thats good! Same goes with lo-fat milk and cheese....theres a reason why it tastes like crap.

Sooo true!
as long as you eat/drink in moderation, you can have anything...
I've never once heard:
"Oh nice, Aspartame! This is way healthier than regular soda!"
or
"Low fat cheese, why yes i like the taste of cardboard!"
I tend to agree... and low-fat products aren't all they're touted to be.... not to mention, as you suggest, they aren't as satisfying so one tends to eat more! My jeans got smaller when I turfed all that stuff. What they don't tell you is that they replace the fat with sugars! Fat isn't actually the enemy folks (though not all fat is created equal, so don't think that's a license to deep fry) Highly processed crap and sugars are the worst of the lot. If we could all simply nix high-fructose corn syrup from our diets, we'd be amazed with the results..... but I defy you to try. It's EVERYWHERE.... and it's the debbil.....
--- edit ---
Just realized that comment was ambiguous.... when I say my jeans got smaller, I don't mean tighter to wear.... I mean I had to turf them and buy smaller jeans.

I've been told to stay away from anything "diet" or low cal. as it does nothing for me.
according to my nutritionist, i'm allowed a daily intake 2200 calories. as long as i maintain a 45-60min. daily workout routine.
Those numbers came from:
-being a male
-working a 9-5 desk job
-weighing in at 240lbs with 17% body fat.
-and driving a car everywhere(yes im lazy)
-amongst other things....
I was lectured how low carb/calorie diets will not make you healthy, and will actually do more harm than good as you get older.
This was all in my personal search to become healthier(skinny), but found out through my doctors that, it was a physical impossibility due to my body type. I can loose fat, but gain muscle mass... Thin just isn't an option.
Sooooo.... anyways....
back on topic...
anyone know of a GOOD Reese's e-juice recipe?
I've searched since i started vaping, but nothing comes close.
Even my D.I.Y.'s have disappointed me, many mL's of juice waisted.
