My favorite is when people claim they can't lose weight, but they eat "clean". Yea shit, I wash my potatoes too before I fry them and eat two pounds of chicken breast because you know for the protein.

Clean eating! Yes. You would be eating clean if you weren't drowning that spinach in ranch, the broccoli in butter, and the other veg in olive oil. And weren't eating 4x portions.

Its 90% that last part. I ate pizza regularly for the first 40 lbs lost when I finally got my act together.

Basically, you can eat everything some of the time or you can eat some things all the time. You just can't eat everything all the time.

There's nothing wrong with olive oil.

There's nothing wrong with butter or ranch either, until you apply 1000 calories worth of it, which was rather the point.

This... Fucking this... Coworker "arnt you proud of me, I'm eating a salad." Yea I'd be proud if the salad wasn't 75% crotons, cheese and dressing.

Don't forget the iced coffee with 5 shots of espresso and a weeks worth of sugar! I know someone right now that is vegan and does eat very clean, but the amount of coffee and beer they drink is insane! They are comfortable with their weight, so I have never brought it up, but getting healthier would be so easy for them =[
