I agree that none of the above will make you GAIN weight, but I do think they can slow your weight loss. <br /><br />For instance, #3, I have heard of a lot of people stalling on weight loss (not necessarily gaining), and switching up their food/workouts got them back losing again. I don't know if it is more mental, physical or both. <br /><br />And with #5, if one is hungry, I absolutely say eat, anytime of the day. I think the problem tends to be WHY people are eating before bed. Generally I think it is more a tired, bored, intoxicated thing than a hungry thing, which is the real issue. <br /><br />Just my thoughts!*Emily*https://www.blogger.com/profile/14295334257922840507noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2661226192180069565.post-7347745895655371422011-06-08T07:55:22.733-07:002011-06-08T07:55:22.733-07:00I love this post because I agree with all of them....I love this post because I agree with all of them. I get so tired of hearing other 'experts' say that things like artificial sweeteners can have an adverse affect on your weight loss efforts. B-S! I have used these sweeteners through all of my weight loss efforts and have been successful. While yeah, I can see how processed foods aren't necessarily the most nutritious options, the point of your post (from my vantage point) was to point out that processed foods themselves don't cause you to gain weight. If you eat an entire bag of chips each and every day, then duh - of course you'll gain weight. But a serving size of chips that you've planned for in your eating plan.. I think that's fine!Momma Buzzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10602167183527319460noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2661226192180069565.post-69169162992111930012011-06-08T07:50:25.131-07:002011-06-08T07:50:25.131-07:00Thanks for all the comments everyone!
I absolutel...Thanks for all the comments everyone!<br /><br />I absolutely agree with your caveats. I wanted to emphasize that doing those things will not necessarily cause you to gain weight. Of course, on the other hand, these habits can lead to unhealthy behaviors that can cause weight gain.<br /><br />Moral of the story: Will eating a Twinkie (if it's within your points/ calories allowance) cause you to gain weight? No. But it probably won't fill you up and you might end up consuming more calories to stay full (which will make you gain weight). <br /><br />Darn, now I want a Twinkie ;)Katiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04583408863686203173noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2661226192180069565.post-91622727479516082082011-06-07T17:50:35.510-07:002011-06-07T17:50:35.510-07:00I agree with all of that!

However, some of those things may directly or indirectly lead you to the actual causes of weight gain: overeating and inactivity.<br /><br />I am also addicted to Diet Coke, and it has in no way hindered my weight loss. I'm sick of feeling like the "bad guy" for consuming artificial sweetners!

Processed food won't MAKE you gain weight, but if you eat too much, you will probably feel terrible and reach for more processed food = more calories=weight gain.<br />3. On exercise: when you change up your routine, you'll raise your heart rate/challenge your muscles more --->burn more calories, BUT if you already have a well-balanced routine worked out you should be OK.Victoriahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04974235202743391870noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2661226192180069565.post-8729613222826583402011-06-07T14:29:58.605-07:002011-06-07T14:29:58.605-07:00Wow, you look amazing in your after picture!!!
I...Wow, you look amazing in your after picture!!! <br /><br />I do think I agree with those things. However, I was always so stuck on just the losing aspect of the weight-loss/get healthy battle that I neglected the fact that I should also pay attention to what certain foods are doing to my body. I do feel better when I avoid overly processed foods and try to stick to just water vs. diet cokes. However, I do love occasional diet coke and processed goodies, so I still treat myself!Lisa Letting Gohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05894108895310707420noreply@blogger.com
