We should be able to enjoy processed foods at least 10% of the time, while still have 90% of our daily intake from mostly whole food. the percentages are subjective.
I am not saying that processed food is the only factor contributing to fat gain but it definitely plays a big role in our society today.
At the end of the day, it's going to be calorie in vs. calorie out for STRICTLY fat loss. if p...pl can tolerate hunger eating processed crap to lose weight (while reaching negative energy balance), I'm all for that. However, eating whole food just make it so much easier to when someone's trying to eat less for reasons of satiation.
I hate the term "clean eating" or "dirty food", it inflicts guilt and failure when ppl don't stick to it. Plus, everyone's belief on "clean eating" is different, therefore, everybody's wrong.
If you're fat, you will get healthier if you're losing weight even if everything you eat are junk. If you're skinny and all you have are whole foods, you will still get fat and sick if you overeat your maintenance.
my advice?
if you want to have processed foods in your diet (who doesn't?) and is trying to lose weight, count your calories.
if you are only eating whole foods for weeks and is still not losing weight, count your calories because you're still overeating your allowance
