Unless it comes from the anorexia region of France it's just sparkling weight loss.

At the risk of un-funning the meme, this is hard as hell. Took some health issues to snap me out of it and start taking care of myself. I know some folks that aren't stopped by health issues. Food addiction really sucks and erodes your willingness to deny it. Consent is a small part of the picture, though important.

I quit smoking years ago. It was rough, but at least I never need to smoke another cigarette for the rest of my life. It's a lot easier to maintain "never" than to maintain "daily but not too much".

Same boat. It took my health totally imploding to galvanize my resolve to look closely at what I might do and do it. I lost 115 lbs and have kept it off 22 years this summer. Managed to resolve all my metabolic health problems and vastly improve some unrelated ones. My quality of life improved in many ways. A tough row to hoe. Yet totally worthwhile for me anyway. And I do recognize there is a privilege in being able to devote the resources to one's health. I know it's far tougher for lots of folks. And certainly more so now than a couple decades ago.

Whichever you feel most comfortable with, but sending it back the way it came is some "you shall not pass" energy

Shame your wisdom came too late to help that poor fellow.

I understand that food is delicious and it is enjoyable to eat but have you considered that the combination of being either poor or cheap, while also being lazy can make you skinny?

I seriously don't even want to go to the grocery store, pay for all these groceries, unload all that shit from my car, prepare a meal, eat it (the only nice part), do the dishes, put the dishes away, take out the trash, clean the kitchen.

Eating less food less often is way easier than doing all that stuff, and its way cheaper. Fast food isn't even inexpensive nowadays and its so bad for you.

Don't be fat, be cheap and lazy.

Well isn't that fucking hilarious. Here you are saying that shit, and the time stamps prove you then go shit alll over someone else for not being perfect.

I'm going to double down here and say that you don't have to be perfect, but you should really strive to do better than McDonalds as your healthy option.

Bringing up someone's comment history immediately disqualifies you from the discussion.

it's a lame tactic but they do have a point about @cantsurf being hypocritical if you take a look at their other comments in this thread

Ironically eating takeout, fast food like McDonald's is one of the more reliable low calorie meals. Chicken Burger, diet drink and 6 nugs is 700 cals where the norm seems to be around 1000 by me. Subway is probably the best for me with a 200 cal salad but I'm not craving take out to eat a salad

What's ironic is that you think that eating garbage is the healthiest way to go about feeding yourself.

"the bad food is bad and eating it makes you bad"

They clearly are managing their food intake just fine. Why do you gotta make a rude value judgement based on what, your own preferences? Go count your own calories instead of worrying about how someone else gets theirs.

8

Their justification for eating highly processed food and drinking artificial sweetener solution is that it's the only way they can control their calorie intake. Call me rude if you want, but it's ridiculous.

You don't have to eat organic vegan everything to be healthy but a McDonalds centric diet isn't the way to go.

Why is the left burger on top of a sliced tomato and a piece of lettuce?

16

They should replace that would onion rings and bbq sauce.

The coke is the unhealthiest part ironically. The burger is the healthiest part because if you don't put loads of sauce, it's pure beef, lettuce and tomato with a roll. All healthy ingredients.

The chips are medium- healthy, the problem being the oil. So only have a few if you can, preferably without salt.

Something like KFC is far worse because the chicken is coated in crumbs and deep fried - LOADS of bad oil.

The burger is also a bun. It's a lot of calories from carbohydrates.

Yes but it's not as bad as you think. Just eat the bottom half.

I'm on dialysis and the Dietician says I can eat it, but just half the bun. If it's ok for me, it'll be fine for your if your kidneys are ok.

Processed meat is a known carcinogen so unless that's a vegan patty the chips are probbaly healthier.

2

It depends on the burger place. If they are grinding the meat themselves from high quality beef it should be fine.

But yes, if it's a cheap burger chances are it's not going to be great quality and is best avoided.

Personally I prefer to make my own at home then I know what's in it

Your stomach sounds like mine; a bag of shit connected to a real asshole.

I'm taking my revenge with several vodka sodas, electric lemonades, and shots of whiskey. Take that, stomach, you bastard!

Still? I may not be a modern day cholera expert, but isn't Gatorade and monitoring enough in present day?

Edit: what, she even refused to drink water?! Yeah, that isn't a typical vegan (I eat meat still, I just don't like the way society dunks on vegans). This feels similar to people who insist on a specific strange diet and harm themselves with it(or lie about it), like Peterson's all meat diet or liver king's 'diet'.

WHAT? Died due to not eating?? There's enough vegan food in the world?

The great thing about eating the rich is the multitude of uses their rendered fat has. ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

She's a Renal Dietician.

Bare in mind she means home made burger or one bought from a reputable burger place that uses high quality, non processed patty's.
