I don't think there is a no no.

[rock201]

What's wrong with pizza doughnuts etc dairy, wheat?

[Elmy]

I don't think there is a no no.

This.

[suburbanPSYCHO]

everything above said^^^ meet your calories for the day and your good. don't forget to workout, if you don't workout then that's a no-no

[CHEEF]

what about certian foods that make you reatin water/bloat you etc

[The Solution]

I ate pizza, dairy, and i still ended up losing a lot of weight in 16 weeks and transformed my body compeltly. **** dindt change one bit.. it fit into my calories.

well I don't agree with the whole calories out> calories in...that's like saying if my maintenance was 2000 and I ate 1900 calories of chocolate bars I'd still be losing weight...As far as no no's go, i would say stay away from anything containing trans fats, simple carbs are a big no no except in the morning or post workout, i would highly recommend not eating ANY CARBS at a point during the day when you know you will no longer be active (like 4 hours before bed, 7pm is usually the cut off time for me), also too much dairy can be a bad thing, eat all food groups in moderation. I say the whole calories in< calories out because being skinny and being in shape are 2 completely different things, because you want to be healthy when you're losing weight or else you will be more prone to getting sick (plus no one wants to be unhealthy)

Goodluck

well yea, don't eat like a moron but i've eaten carbs throughout the day along with "better for you" foods like vegetables and chicken and have done fine. if it's a trigger for you to eat that food (pizza etc.) then don't. if eating a certain way keeps you in the right mindstate do that. do what works for you. i eat healthy but try to hit my calories while doing it (more of a mental and what i was raised on thing) and it works. only thing that sucks about that food is it's hard to calculate the calories of it if it's not homemade or from a chain pizza store.

That's a pretty broad generalization, seeing as how many "health foods" have decent amounts of sodium in them.

[Wowzer]

So... you're saying you don't agree with the laws of physics?

the calories in >calories out is very true and has been proven to be true. Ask any health teacher or doctor and tell will tell you the same.

Also your body is just as active when its sleeping as it is when your awake. What do you think your body just shuts off when your sleeping?

Well indeed if you ate below your maintenance in nothing but juicy ass chocolate bars, you would lose weight. There's no debate on this.

And let's not get into "unhealthy blablalba" ... ofcourse ... you could fill up those calories with other foods to get triple the amount of proteins and carbs, healthy fats instead of crap, all your vitamins and minerals, plenty of fiber ... etc... And if you were to eat only chocolate bars it would mean you wouldn't get enough protein to build mass or optimal muscle preservation on a cut, or generally staying healthy .... BUUUUUT

Eating under your maintenance in any food will make you lose weight.

Who the f*ck would eat 1900 of chocolate ?

You fail.

Lol, every douchebag who has an arguement against cals in VS cals out uses a completely extreme example like yours.

And yes, if you ate under your maintainence in chocolate you would still lose body mass

-I'd say too much booze would obviously be something to avoid when cutting

[2k89Power]

Nothing really, just cut down on your sugars and processed foods. As long as you eat a really clean diet and workout you should be fine.

[LatinoMusculito]

I think the only no-no is eating too much food in one sitting. Gotta keep the metabolism up with those +5 meals.

Anyway my personal 'no-no's during a cut (OP's actual question), would have to be anything that is fried or too greasy/oily like chicken wings,fries,chips, etc... Or heavily processed like that processed cheese that is one chemical away from being plastic.

[dimasso69]

Dont do drugs
Dont drink alcoholic beverages
those are NO-NO's
Pizza ice cream and cookies are a NOM NOM

[jason_e]

none, after being neurotic in the past i've learned if your not in contest prep or something like that it doesn't really as long as you get your enough protein and don't eat excess cals, but I really don't eat much processed/greasy/fried food anyway when I'm not cutting

[Mourning Tide]

pasta and pizza, once i start, i cannot stop

[peple_1]

Just keep your calories low, thats it doesnt matter wat u eat, make sure u dont go over the 50% fat (Back of boxes shows %, add up during the day )
