You’re telling people (apparently your targeted audience is complete tards) to eat muffin mix, sugar, chocolate milk, bread, and Yoplait yogurt.
I don’t get it, either.
But you do have that nifty gung-ho ‘You can do it!’ PC trainer attitude, so that’s cool.[/quote]
Care to explain what part of eating those foods you 'don’t ‘get?’ I’m very curious to hear your reasoning for not consuming those foods.
Oh, and I have the ‘you can do it’ attitude because I help people around the world who ARE making changes to their strength, size, body fat, etc on a daily basis. In short, I have the attitude because for the people I work with, ‘you can do it’ is a reality.
I appreciate your posting in my thread and am looking forward to you enlightening me on your reasoning behind your condemning such foods as bread and yogurt, as well as the others listed above too.
Thanks,

You really don’t see why, when advising people how to make positive changes in their diet(again, it seems your target audience would be those new to nutrition with little knowledge of aforementioned) slightly more convenient options relying on packaged muffin mix, white bread, sugar, chocolate milk, and shitty flavored yogurt might not be the best idea?
The commercials on TV will tell people to lose weight eating breakfast cereal and flavored yogurt. You certainly don’t need to tell them muffin mix is fine once it’s mixed with protein powder.
How about encouraging people to eat more vegetables, meat, and quality carb sources? Maybe oats instead of muffin mix? Greek yogurt instead of Yoplait Key Lime Pie or whatever? Non-chocolate milk? Maybe 86 the sugar altogether? Tell them to eat eggs for breakfast?
Right now, it just seems that you’re mixing some crap with one or two ‘healthy’ ingredients and passing it off as a wise choice. You seem like a decent guy, but this 100 Calorie Pack shit is just pretty weak.[/quote]
I’ve got plenty of videos that contain vegetables, meat, and quality carb sources, FYI.
To be honest, I feel like you avoided my question. You just told me more of what you already told me (don’t drink chocolate milk, don’t eat yogurt, bread, muffin mix, or sugar altogether). What I’m looking for is your reasoning for not eating those foods. For example, I’d like to know why, in your opinion, it’s ok to eat greek yogurt but not regular yogurt. As another example, I’d like to know why it’s OK to drink regular milk and not chocolate milk.
It’s one thing to preach food recommendations, but it’s another thing to do so without supporting your reasoning. So again, care to enlighten me? I’m seriously interested in hearing your reasoning behind telling me not to eat those foods. I hope you take the time to reply.

I generally feel it’s optimal and best, when available, to use unprocessed, ‘natural’, whole foods, rather than their more adulterated counterparts. I see no benefit in using a version of a product, (for example, yogurt) that uses dyes, preservatives, artificial or natural sweeteners, and has a decided lack of beneficial bacteria when there is a similar, more beneficial (higher protein, lower carb, probiotic, generally more ‘well-rounded’) substitute with less possible detrimental substances added (for which you can spin the science either way, but there’s nothing to lose by avoiding).
Really, there’s nothing inherently ‘wrong’ with any of those foods. I’ll leave it at that before you start demanding studies descrying the evils of sugar, wheat, HFCS, etc.
Basically I’m saying you have better options, why not use them?
But I suppose you disagree that those options are ‘better’.
