Of course... Cheese burgers, chocolate cream pies, and french fries. The best thing in the world for you.

I’ve been telling myself this for years.

Giggling...1 little cheeseburger about every 2 weeks — well, in all honesty it’s a double cheeseburger.

That sounds about right, from my own experience dieting. The problem is, most people already eat more calories than they need, so most people are over fat.

'You can eat an extra cheeseburger a day' - say diet experts

Excellent! I knocked down a Carl's Jr. bacon guacamole Six Dollar Burger combo just an hour ago. I'm sure getting that Diet Dr. Pepper as the drink did it's part to neturalize that excess fat. Good to hear at least one doctor agrees...

Huh? Have they not noticed all the stupendously overweight people walking around? Which ones haven’t been getting enough cheeseburgers?

[GnuHere]

Oh, OK, if I HAVE to!!

[Thunder90]

The reasons that so many people are fat are the fact that they consume 4,000 calories a day and don’t exercise.

Note to scientists, doctors, dietitians et al.

I’ll eat whatever I damn well please, once I get it to hold still long enough.

Gotta be said.... Somebody send this article to Ann Coulter!

Too bad most burgers taste disgusting nowadays. Gotta make your own with good meat.

'You can eat an extra cheeseburger a day' - say diet experts

Trust nothing in print during the days of the Obama-media.

Stick to common sense and accepted facts...and stock lots of ammo...

The daily intake of calories - currently 2,000 for woman and 2,500 for men

I like how a man 6' 5" and 250 lbs gets the same allocation as a man who is 5' 5" and 150 lbs.

This makes a lot of sense.
If you eat at a level where your body thinks it’s starving it becomes more efficient at storing calories.
If you eat at a slightly higher then your body metabolized the small extra and stops storing fat.

[SamAdams76]

Typical junk science. If you need to worry over whether or not you can fit an extra cheeseburger in your diet, than chances are you are overweight. People who are thin couldn’t care less whether or not they can eat an extra cheeseburger. If they want an extra cheeseburger they will eat it.

I generally limit my cheeseburger intake to one a week or so. Of course, I used to be quite heavy.

My best advice is to keep a public food diary and weigh yourself often. I weigh daily, and make my food choices depending on the morning number. If I know a big splurge day is coming up such as Thanksgiving, I train ahead and give myself a couple pounds in buffer. When I quit smoking, I prepared by losing about 20 extra pounds first. But the food diary / daily weigh ins were effective enough that I didn't gain the weight back.

I have, however, found maintenance to be more challenging than the initial diet(s).
