Does this mean I have to delete my McDonalds App?
I just bought one of their Artisan Chicken Sandwiches for a $1.00 using it. Darn...
What is “junk food”? Essentially any food that is highly processed, high in calories and low in nutrients.
The problem is how much you take in vs how much you burn up.
There is no “junk food”. Just con artists named “nutrionnists” using junk science to bill junk advices.
There was no nutrionnist 50 years ago and people were slim. Conclusion, the more nutrionnists, the more obese people.

Nearly every ‘diet’ out there since the word ‘diet’ became lexicon used 80:20.
The problem is people looking for single point fixes to complex problems created by institutional and cultural ignorance.
This statement is almost correct. Natural saturated fat (animal fats, coconut oil, butter cheese etc) is perfectly healthy and necessary to the human diet. It has no connection to heart disease or any other disease. The fats that are bad for you are trans fats and most vegetable oils.
Also there is no dietary requirement for any carbohydrate (including sugar). The body makes the glucose that it needs.
We are all suffering from the bad dietary science promulgated since the the 1950s with the phony research of Ancel Keys.
Just because you can eat it, doesn’t make it food. cough tide pods..
My M-I-L ragged mercilessly on my F-I-L on how he ate. The stress of it did more to damage his health than what he ate. Actually, he was in better health than my M-I-L.
Not to hijack the thread here, but the Gov. BMI rating are ridiculous. I am in good health and active (aerobics 3 days a week, swimming 2 miles 4 days a week) but still are considered overweight by Gov. BMI (5'11" 185lb.)

Define “Highly Processed.”
We have a health food store near here that sells lots of vegan stuff like soy beans processed into fake meat.
Fake hamburger, fake hot dogs, all “highly processed”.
I agree with the point of this article — that eating mainly fruits, veggies and lean meats (limit the dairy and especially avoid grains) is the best way to maintain optimum health, but that allowing oneself some limited “cheat” items is a better way to go than constant self-denial.
The trick is finding a way to set limits that works. For instance, only allow yourself a McDonald’s item two times a week, avoid driving by the McD’s on the other days, and only allow yourself one item, not a whole meal. That’s two items per week.
I’ve lost ten pounds since Christmas by shoving the fruits and veggies in (2 mealtimes and 1 snack time) whether I think I want them or not. Sometimes I do a week of “two items from Wendy’s on two different days this week” and sometimes I do “one cupcake on two different days.” It is starting to break the cravings for sugar, chocolate, etc and I’m actually starting to crave some of the healthy foods.
