[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Forget the rice, sweet potatoes, and most fruit. Get your carbs from nuts and berries. Green and white vegetables are good (broccoli, kale, green peppers, cauliflower, onion, radish) … skip the corn, carrots, etc.[/quote]

There is no need to drop any foods and definitely not nutritious things like sweet potatoes or fruit. All you need to do is control your calories if you need to lose fat. And nuts are actually not ideal as they are very calorie dense and easy to overeat. Nothing wrong with them, but they need to be carefully tracked. [/quote]Oh boy, where do I start. There might not be a need for YOU to drop any foods, but for many people, this is the way. The nutrition provided by sweet potatoes and nearly all fruit, compared to the sugars included, is not worth it. Despite the conventional wisdom, it is not always only about calories. As I said, berries and nuts are the best trade off. [/quote]

I would agree if you had said to drop highly processed foods, fast food and very fatty foods with limited nutrition, but it is ridiculous to not eat fruit. Again, fat loss is about calories and you might want to get the bulk of those calories from the most nutritious whole foods. Sugar in fruits is a non-issue. [/quote]Please stop with the nonsense. Any sugar can be an issue…it depends on the person. That’s the point. If someone thinks they are consuming a low calorie diet but is not losing, it’s the carbs and sugars. Fat is good for you as a signal to stop eating. Regarding fast food, I will say this: A Big Mac extra value meal with a Diet Coke is more nutritious and has lower glycemic impact and sodium than a Starbucks low fat muffin. That’s not an endorsement of fast food. I don’t believe anyone orders a Big Mac because they think it’s healthy. But the contrary is true when it comes to ordering a low fat muffin. And that low fat muffin is one of the worse things out there. Fat doesn’t make us fat and foods with cholesterol don’t give us high cholesterol.[/quote]
