/ck/ - Food & Cooking

You are retarded. It doesn't matter where you store your fat, being overweight increases your chance of so many diseases/cancers, it doesn't matter.

Healthy food can taste amazing if you know how to cook. You don't need to indulge on a dozen donuts to enjoy what you eat. I also eat haagen dazs and what ever I feel like, I just eat moderately and have it occasionally.

nice blog

By eating a high fiber diet with lots of fruits and vegetables, I'm able to eat ice cream and junk food all the time too. It's about finding a healthy balance between junk food and healthy stuff

subbed, liked and shared.

"I wasn't always fat I played football in college" is so common in the corporate world that it's basically a satire of itself

It's your fault you're fat, and no, the reason I'm not has nothing to do with genetics or McDonalds forcing me to eat junk food

These aren't cities, this is like those little "pit stop" areas along the highway that has 1 road with a shitton of gas stations and food places that usually either rejoins the highway or leads into an actual city.

>>10455351
My first thought was:
"why do you wonder if its possible to maintain a healthy weight in America if everybody at the reunion, aside from you and your wife, is able to stay or get fit??"

Face it, you're just eating shit food (a lot of eating out or take-out i'm guessing) and/or your version of cooking is to drown food in fat and plastic-y cheese.

>>10455351
Karma is a bitch ain't it?

>why do you wonder if its possible to maintain a healthy weight in America if everybody at the reunion, aside from you and your wife, is able to stay or get fit??

THIS

Of course it's possible, you're an adult and decide what goes in your mouth, if you socialize with other people who worry about their health and dieting there's nothing to stop you going to indie vegan organic restaurants together or whatever instead of eating at Taco Bell and McDonalds like typical Amerimutt people of Walmart do

What a shocker! If it were impossible to maintain a healthy weight in America, no one in America would have a healthy weight. You eat too fucking much. It’s not even what you’re eating.

Ignore him, it's this one guy that posts on multiple boards that has hundreds of images saved of generic road trip pit stop areas off highways and uses them as a basis for what he thinks america is.

Eat a very small amount of fat and fructose, and the weight will melt off.

stick to starches. but avoid pasta and rice. beans, wheat, potatoes, vegetables, are all good. white breast meat from a chicken is good.

I'm entertained.

This OP is retarded but i actually do agree that healthy options are hard to come by in USA
In Japan, which i recently visited, there were convenience stores everywhere, selling not chips and soda but small servings of rice, sushi, and many mixed salads. I was able to have substantial healthy meals for only a few dollars. Same with restaurants. The "fast food" was bowls of soba or udon, or cheap sushi rolls. Calorific for sure, but leagues better for you than burgers and fries.

There is no explanation for this besides poor self-control. 20 pounds, maybe because it is easier to gorge yourself in the US, but 100 is inexcusable

>>10455351
Yeah it's very easy. Don't eat fast food, don't eat processed food.

Cook recipes mostly from scratch yourself.

E.g. stop being so fucking lazy and wanting all your food prepared for you by minimum wages dipshits without the slightest inclination to sanitation.

I eat everything you eat and stay skinny.
LMAO retards. Instead dog eating 2000 calories each in donuts why not just eat two a day for breakfast, vegetables for lunch to stave the hunger and a nice balanced dinner of reasonable calories?

are you literally too stupid to buy rice/potatoes a few vegetables and beef/pork/chicken/fish?

>>10456330
I unironically love this but after a while it gets "boring" so to speak. Are there any other meals to have for dinner? I like pasta but I know it's bad for you.

It's all about calories OP. You can eat shitty food if you want, but only in small quantities. I usually eat fastfood a couple of times a week, but it's the only meal I eat that day.

Basically, limit how much of the really fat filled/high calorie stuff you eat.

>>10456256
You fail to understand why people eat junk food you fucking retard. It tastes good. Cooking your own donuts from scratch will never taste as good as something from a donut bakery or chain unless you're a pro.

You can get fat off of prepared meals too.

If you want to lead a balanced enjoyable life, you weigh, proportion and count. It's that fucking simple. A donut doesn't make you gain 100 pounds. Eating a donut doesn't kill you.

>>10456340
Barley is great and healthy, it just doesn't go well with some stuff. It goes well w/ thick pork stew for example.
Also rye bread (and it comes from a guy who doesn't rly give a shit about healthy food n such). Same as barley, it just doesn't go well some stuff. Cottage cheese goes nice w/ rye bread (with some salt and pepper + diced fresh onions or sliced radish (onion/radish must be cut into very thin pieces).

>>10455351
I haven't eaten in days, there's a snowstorm outside and I can't go out to get food either

>>10456364
I don't understand this attitude at all. It's not hard to do better than fast food at all. You don't need to be "a pro". You just need to have basic skills and the ability to follow directions. And those directions have never been more widely avialable than they are today. Any schmo can bust out his or her smartphone and have world-class experts explain how to prepare whatever meal they might want.

You act like improving upon fast food is only possible for experts. Hell no. A 10 year old with a little experience can stomp the shit out of any fast food meal, mainly because home cooks don't have the same sort of limitations that fast food places do (ingredients purchased in bulk, food reheated rather than freshly prepared, and so on).

Fast food doesn't "taste good". It's barely fucking passable. It is, however, a boon to the lazy who can't be bothered to fire up the stove or grill.

>>10456417
you can't make krispy kreme donuts and reese's cups at home senpai

>>10456364
>You can get fat off of prepared meals too.

sure, you can. but it's a lot less likely because if you are doing the work yourself then you actually have to put forth some effort to get fat. If you cook from scratch and you want four hamburgers then you have to form more patties, cook more patties, prep the other ingredients, etc. That's a lot more work than driving your fatmobile up to the drive-thru and ordering more food.

the fact that more effort is required is a good thing. it discourages eating excessive quantities.

>>10456201
>to which the reply is "OBESED"
Which doesn't make sense, it's not a word.

>>10456432
Doughnuts are easy. Mix batter in a bowl with a whisk. Deep fry when you're done. I normally make round doughnuts because that's easier, but if you want the proper doughnut shape then you can buy a utensil which does that. You don't even need a "deep fryer". Oil in a pot with a thermometer clipped to the side works great.

Reese's cups? I'm not sure why you would want to duplicate those. The chocolate and "peanut butter" are both shit tier quality. But you could easily make a similar snack--make a peanut butter dough and coat it in melted chocolate. This is a great example of how you can do so much better than the industrial version because you would be using better ingredients.

>>10456460
it's funny, and people who aren't on the spectrum immediately understand what it means without needing it explained to them. given all that, clearly it does make sense.

>>10455351
>)there's delicious food everywhere on the street and in stores and unless you make yourself miserable it doesn't seem like you can stay skinny.

You need to fix your mindset. Restaurants and process garbage are NOT tasty food - they are lumps of corn and wheat morphed into various shapes and liberally dosed with various industrial oils created in refineries from agricultural waste. It's all WASTE that's been carefully crafted to make you addicted and pay a high markup.

Those glitzy signs are equivalent to the glamor of a casino - it's drawing you in to spend a fortune on WASTE.

>>10456460
Yeah but languange evolves including english, that's why we have slangs and such.
Noone's living inside the dictionary bubble unless you're a closet faggot.

>>10456364
>ooking your own donuts from scratch will never taste as good as something from a donut bakery or chain unless you're a pro.

Bullshit. Bakeries and restaurants are in business to MAKE MONEY. They will cut corners wherever possible, which includes skimping on the quality of food. The only reason your mind might think it tastes better is because they have teams of scientists devoted to tricking you into thinking so in a variety of ways.

The trouble with food is that 99% of the things that you should be buying are commodities, which means that there is zero profit opportunity. Large corporations need to sell you crap to keep their coffers full, health be damned.

>>10456535
Eating out is part of social activity though.

>>10456530
Why would it be a waste of oil? you know you can re-use frying oil a large number of times, right?

>>10456364
>You can get fat off of prepared meals too.

Yes, but once you fix your taste buds and wean off of packaged crap, you have to stuff yourself uncomfortably full and/or be extremely sedentary (basically house-bound) to get seriously obese cooking from scratch.

>>10456549
This. Breads are more cheaper, especially doughnouts. No one is stupid enough to believe that a doughnout really worths four dollars.

>>10456552
Yeah, but stop telling yourself that the food is that great. At pretty much any chain restaurant, and 90% of non-chains, it's just something you put up with to be social or when you are truly too tired to cook (ie maybe you lost power and couldn't make it to the grocery store), not a regular thing.

I never said it was difficult. I said it took more effort (work) than talking into a drive-thru box and asking for more food.

Do you understand the difference between difficulty and effort? Digging a ditch is not difficult but it takes a lot of effort. Getting a hole-in-one in golf is difficult but takes only a few seconds of effort.

>>10457386
Im sure you could replicate it exactly. Modernist Cuisine can help you get that industrial texture. And I'm sure you can duplicte the chocolate by starting with real stuff and diluting it with various adulterants. Or maybe by starting with really cheap candy.

I'm just not sure why you would want to. My original point was how it was possible to do BETTER than mass-produced food. Why duplicate shitty industrial chocolate made for the lowest-common-denominator when you can make something better suited to your taste?

>>10455416

Not being a fat fuck is as easy as getting basic exercise in and not stuffing cheeseburgers down your throat every meal.

If a man really wrote this and not the butch pants wearer of a lesbian relationship I just want you to know you don't have a shred of your masculinity left. You poor shell of a man, your wife sapped you of so much and you don't even have the ability to recognize this truth. I take comfort in knowing you will continue to decline in your physicality until your death rapidly approaches. A short life would normally be sad but in your case mercy is the best course.

>>10455351

>>10456938
McChickens, maybe, but they aren't a buck anymore. Tacos and Pizza you can definitely make cheaper at home. None of these should be staples of your diet, either. Compare the cost of any of these restaurant meals to a proper square dinner.

Food science is basically the science of replacing your quality ingredients with something cheaper.

It's why you can't get eggs, pancakes or hashbrowns that have been cooked in butter at 99% of restaurants. They use the cheaper alternative.

>>10455351
I literally don't know how you people eat so fucking much. Just eat less food.

You are both addicted to suggar and food additives. Sugar messes with your gut , the additives work normaly directly in your brain.
You propably have stored a ton of toxins in your body with your fat, too.
If you realy want to get rid of that addiction just fast 3 weeks. (get a proper instruction for that to not feel like shit).
The fasting is NOT for wheightloss but to get rid of addiction and to acctualy taste food again. Afterwards its fairly easy to change your eating habbit as most "delicous" food will taste like the crap it is. (If you only stop eating large amounds of sugar after 4 weeks most cockies taste unbearably sweet).
I guess you know the basics of homecooking. You can even keep the pasta, just swich it for whole grain. With most sauces it doesnt make a difference in taste.
So yes, it is possible. Get rid of your addictin like one gets rid of smoking cigaretts.
And for gods sake, stop negativly encouraging yourself in that addiction.
I guess noone wants the long term health problems of food addiction when aging.
(joint problems, no stamina, sweating like mad, diabetes and so on, you get that regardless where the fat is stored)

>>10455351

Maintaining a healthy weight takes self control and disclipine, its not insanely hard, EATING is an active process, you dont gain weight sitting on your ass eating a single pack of crisp, you either eat an obscene amount of unhealthy food (exceeding TDEE a lot) or you've spent years consistently overeating your TDEE by a a small amount (weight gain over years e.g. extra 200 kcals a day would be 20 pounds of weight a year)

>>10458941
That's one exampe, though now what I would suggest. Standard baker's chocolate from the supermarket would already be loads better than the crap Reese's uses.

>>10459133
Because America has access to overall much better, but also unhealthier food than most starving European and Asian countries. Its a blessing and a curse.

Sugar is in everything. Insulinemia causes you to store all calories as fat.

>White Rice
>Lean beef, chicken, or pork
>Vegetables with color (spinach, asparagus, etc)

Carbs are necessary for energy and small amounts of simple carbs give energy and prevent ketoacidosis.

Meanwhile, your body will pull it’s needed resources from fat once your body produces glucagon instead of insulin

>>10455385
Exact same. Granted my job is semi-physical, so my actual calorie needs hover around 2200, but I eat like shit between 2 1/2 very fibrous, watery meals.
Staples include 6 oz. fried chicken caesar salad with reduced fat dressing (sometimes walut oil and vinegar), mini wheat off-brand, large bowl of oatmeal with dry fruit and nuts, sardines with crackers and thin, very thin slices of gourmet cheese, salmon and greens...you get the idea.
On a typical day, I eat two or three doughnuts, fistfulls of chips and candy on my loading dock, and keep a somewhat muscular 22.5 bmi.

I went to a diner the other day for brunch. I ordered steak, eggs, and a broccoli/cauliflower mix. The waitress thanked me for telling her I was uninterested in the home fries and toast. You don't have to eat human dog food. Even at a fast food place, it's not hard. Say no to the fries. Throw the bun to the birds. Drink unsweetened coffee or tea. Sugar and grains are pushed on people because they're cheap, and they leave you wanting more. Just say no. None of this will stop you from engaging in eating as a social activity.

>>10456576
