It’s kinda like that whitest kids you know bit where Trevor asks Timmy just about how many hot dogs he eats in a week, then it turns out he’s eating like 7 a day; kinda what I realized when I went to the dietician. Things you don’t think means much ends up adding up to a ton of calories.

I saw on Reddit that there was a guy who had gained like 45 pounds and doctors couldn’t figure it out turns out he was really addicted to tic tacs, he’d eat several boxes worth a day and thought they were zero calorie


I can understand the confusion. A serving size of Tic Tacs in one Tic Tac, The calorie count is so low it, it's nearly 0. However, if you are eating extremely large amounts over time, it adds up.

Pizza, pasta and ice cream each just raised their hands. “Can’t forget about us,” they said :-)

Really is no one food that makes you gain other than heavy cream.
Water and soda do nothing really because you pee 90% of it out anyway..


Soda does lead to weight gain. It's the high fructose corn syrup that gets you.

You are probably correct but you would have to drink it all day long every day.
I never cared much forit because it was too sweet for me.
I do drink diet Pepsi but not in large amounts.


Soda is notorious for making people fat. Just cutting it out of your diet and making no other changes is enough to lose some weight.

But you are right about over consumption making people sick. HFCS will mess you all the way up is you drink too much.

The problem is that there are a lot of feedist on this site who would take the risk. I feel bad for them. Every time I run into them a few months down the line, they are some of the most miserable people I've seen.

I have noticed gainers going all out for a year or so get to a point they just look like they don't feel so good.
Mostly the fast food junkies.
They gain a lot for sure.
I could never eat at the golden arches without getting sick so that tipped me off that something in the food wasn't right.


I have to agree that home cooking is best :-)
