WonderPug why are you saying everyone have eating disorder ?

[softpounder]

OP's rep count goes up over 3k since calling out the entire nutrition section, and Pug specifically?

So, to get my reps up, I simply have to perform a "callout" thread criticizing an entire board sub-forum along with one of its most respected members. Next, I run over to the MISC, start up a new thread, and ask them for their validation while linking back to my original "callout" thread.

Am I doing it right so far?

You got it.

And OP said I was the one rep begging.

Oh teh lulz.

More like 100...was at 12 980 or so

[StackingPlates]

When you originally created this thread, you were a little over 10k...no reason to lie. Not that it matters...

[lucidz]

I will perform heinous, degrading acts for +reps.

I was raised without shame.

pretty much

[Funkdubius]

This is my reply after WP said the guy seeking help need medical help after his first post which was missing tons of details before saying such a thing.

[Funkdubius]

Rep begger who will agree to anything.

[xJellyBirdx]

So just keep doing the same thing: Stickies or your sick ! Great knowledge.

Thought you were done posting? Pug's responses always seem fine to me. I've always pictured him as calm and collective. He can be a smart ass but I don't see it as horrible. He does it with good taste. He gives out TONS of good info and help for free and you call him out because of how you perceive it? This is why people troll. Some people get all riled up and foaming at the mouth for petty issues.

Maybe Pug has an ED.

That's just you trying to play doctor.

This forum is potentially dangerous because people will put off medical attention and just look for help online.

It is important that people who could have a real illness are not lead to believe that they can fix it by bodybuilding.

This is why people who describe symptoms of EDs or any other illnesses are told to speak to a medical professional.

[Alexallthetime]

LOL at these people in here. This is a BODYBUILDING website. What does EVERY successful BODYBUILDER do? They plan out meals, eat bland if they have to (Not because they HAVE to but for the sake of simplicity), and usually aren't even looking at food for pleasure but for fuel. This IS NOT an eating disorder, its a sacrifice to reach individual goals. Telling people they need more of this or that macronutrient is stupid because if you've been paying attention to how you eat generally you figure out what works best for your body. Anyone who argues otherwise is ignorant. Yates stated he only ate around 70g of fat a day and was 280lbs in the off-season. So much for your calculations.

Edit: Just stating my opinion based off this thread, not siding with anyone as I am not familiar with the nutritional forum.

the irony is that people are developing ED's after following this forum

Yet you were drawn here like a fly to a bug zapper

I spent the first couple years as a member in this section. Not so much anymore.

Then why are you here, dude?

[StackingPlates]

So which, specific part of the advice "eat a diet consisting primarily of non-processed, whole foods - while hitting your micro, macro, and caloric goals" is causing these eating disorders?

[MrBillson]

Well I suppose people will have started developing them before finding this forum, and then this forum gives them the numbers to obsess over.

Best we can do is give valid information and highlight potentially harmful habits/obsessions.

Better they do the right thing obsessively than the wrong thing.

[MrBillson]

I think he's just referring to people developing an unhealthy relationship with food and body image. Not so much the foods themselves.

This is BodyBuilding.com

People who are new to working out or trying to eat healthy will most likely end up here after a google search.

After they will hit forums, then nutrition, then they will get scared and have a bad opinion about this site.

literally everything you mentioned in that post

people go from not worrying about macros and caloric intake - to restricting non-processed foods like the plague, setting caloric counting as a first priority, avoiding social situations to hit their macros, and running on a treadmill for 45 minutes to hit their caloric needs for the day.

lol do you not see the problem with this?

Yep

That's a bit of an overstatement.
Every forum has a few posters with ****ty reputations (not saying that Pug is one of them, just saying) but that has nothing to so with the relevance of the information provided.
The majority of this forum posts solid, useful information...so no reason to group together an entire section because of personal feelings towards one poster.

Its not just WP, its the whole forum in general. His name is in the tittle, but I said nothing bad about him except I think his approach is too direct.

This forum is just rude to whoever dont agree.

Or they will be given genuine advice and posters with potential EDs or illnesses will be advised to speak to a more qualified individual such as a doctor.

The posters here may be sarcastic at times, but in the end we only ever mean to help.

The regular posters here only are only rude to people who are unwilling to accept that their previous assumptions are incorrect.

We get annoyed when people look for validation rather than advice.
