Why do people like mikkayla!?!?!?

[Tee]

Cracks me up how everyone is either Mikayla fan or tahan fan and i think mikkayla has created it, with her whole 'high school' petty of you like me you mustn't like her attitude with the housemates. I think pretty much everyone except the sugar sisters have got her figured out but i think it will be an intruder who has watched from the outside who will eventually bring her undone.

I like them both.

Go figure.

An insulin dependent diabetic's life revolves around appropriate food choices and slow release carbs, and they do have to give up certain foods at certain times.

To oversimplify a complex disease the way you have is irresponsible.

How am i being irresponsible? No one goes to a Big Brother forum for medical advice. My mum has type 1 diabetes. She is careful not to consume much sugar or carbohydrates, in fact she doesn't eat very much at all, but if she wants to eat something unhealthy then she eats it and it isn't a big deal - she just makes sure she takes the right amount of insulin. Her life does not revolve around her diabetes.

Yeah there are a few who do lol
I did like them both, both have traits i didn't really like but in general i thought both were ok.
But watching Mikkayla bitch and sook to others is just getting on my nerves, if she would just go into the diary room like tahan and Tim i wouldn't mind so much i find their diary room visits entertaining

Now you are just contradicting yourself. You claimed definitively that Mikkayla knew more about food that Justynn did; and now you are saying there is no evidence on the matter.

Also, I think you'll find in order to avoid foods that will harm you and eat the right foods you have to know about them... In any case, by your logic vegetarians couldn't possibly know anything about food. And what about Muslim's? They must also have no idea because they don't eat pork.

This makes sense to me. Justynn would know more specifically about the types of food and ingredients used to make a dish. Anyone can make food taste delicious when throwing in cream, butter, sugar, saturated oils etc. but to make food taste good and still be good for you is a better cook in my opinion and does know more about food. That's just my opinion though

 

[SoshiMECH]

I dont have allegries nor any health related problems.
Its not as important for me to look down nutritional information compared to Justynn.
Oh because you eat more stuff, you know more about food.

Terribly misleading.

Knowing about nutrition and knowing about food are not the same think.

Nutrition is about eating healthy and restricting your diet to certain foods.

Knowing about food and cooking is a far broader spectrum. A chef would know a lot more about food that looks and tastes good, which is far removed from nutrition.

 

[mavsfan]

There should be odds on the possibility of Mikkayla bitching every episode.

 

[Connoisseur]

Goodness me mikk fans are as grating as she is.

I try and like them both but the problem is I know people like Mikkayla in real life and they're very, very tiring.....they will steer conversations about anything back to themselves.
And they will compete with you at every level and for people that don't love themselves it can be a bit irritating.

But in saying that there is no proof that mikkayla knows more food than justynn either. She believes she knows more about food, but that doesn't mean it's a fact, it's just her higher opinion of herself

The thing is she puts it forth in such a confident and final way.
She's very good at pretending to be the best at anything and every thing.

But your saying Mikkayla eats a wider range of food from cooking while Justynn is a little limited so she knows more before.

 

[Sweet_Geek]

She was LOL at Justynn because he couldnt taste desserts.
I wonder if she laughs at other people with health related issues.

I'm a pre diabetic. Just to clear this up, it does not automatically mean you have diabetes type 2.
I'm careful with my sugar intake (really hard as I am a chocolate fanatic, but I must keep it all proportional) but I enjoy my food.
[MENTION=11846]Sorceress[/MENTION], she is very good at talking herself up, just like she did with doing the girls hair, it was all lovely and green

I think you are irresponsible because you are oversimplifying a complex disease.

A healthy diabetics life does revolve around diabetes. Every meal is well thought out due the fact their own pancreas does not produce the hormone insulin, which is needed to break down glucose, means there is a constant demand on them to be aware of food choices. Diabetics whose life does not revolve around the illness and who are not managing their BGL's appropriately are usually in hospital on dialysis due to renal failure, have missing lower limbs due to neuropathy or have cardiac problems.

Talk to your Mum, she will tell you. It is a very big deal, she just manages it like a super star.

You're at the crossroads sister.

Make healthy choices and live your dream or head down the T2DM road which guarantees a chronic disease.

I am sure Sorcey is a personal trainer and she would definitely have some tips to help you turn this around. You are one of the lucky ones!

Good luck!

 

[mavsfan]

Just because Justynn might not eat certain stuff, doesnt mean he cant cook it soshi.
He could still be able to prepare desserts for other people. Not everyone is a Ben and cooks only for themselves.

Yes.
Also it was the 'Jade diet' instead of simply eating less, she's placing herself next to Jade to compare.
You'll notice she gets uber fired up at the games as well - I remember one she was running and shoved everyone else out of the way to get in the car LOL.

What? I was actually...5 years ago, how did you know that?
I'm a musculoskeletal therapist now, my knowledge is joints and muscles - Though I could help SG!

[MENTION=34839]SoshiMECH[/MENTION] type 1 diabetics can eat any food they want but they just have to keep a careful eye on their blood sugar levels. As some foods impact blood sugar more than others, Justynn would have to know a lot about different foods. Mikkayla just likes food. I'm going to guess that Justynn is more knowledgeable about food.

Based on what? Justynn did a lot of talking and didn't seem to know anymore than Mikkayla, even if he thought he did and we have seen Mikkayla do a lot of cooking in the house. The only information we have is that Justynn had diabetes and he lied about being a nutritionist. How can you come to a conclusion based on just that? Evidence supports Mikkayla's claim, no evidence supports Justynn's claim.

I used to be extremely conscious, and now I don't even think about it. It is amazing how your mind just learns to eat great food and it becomes second nature really.
I do stress when I become pregnant though. Its a bloody nightmare if I'm honest. But I do consider myself lucky and I will def do all I can to avoid diabetes in the future. It's getting harder to exercise though, with two young ones.

You just argued against yourself there... Well done.

Ok so if I go and dance on camera, I'm therefore a better dancer than anyone that says they have been to dance school because people saw me dancing on camera!!

Oh don't mind me... I'm a stalker from waaaaaay back!

(just kidding, I remember you sharing it when we were talking diet and exercise in a thread some time back)

PM her Super_Geek, you don't often get diet and exercise advice from a qualified Personal Trainer for free. Pre-diabetes is your warning siren, what comes next is T2DM, and that one is a chronic disease which will keep on giving for the rest of your life.

 

[chumly]

Justynn's diabetes would prevent him from eating a lot of different foods, his diet would be restricted.

Which makes Mikkayla an A-grade bitch for not allowing Justynn to order low-GI, high fibre Sultana Bran when they did the weekly shopping. She has absolutely no kindness or compassion. This is made even more unforgivable by the fact that she would have had first aid training as a teacher, as most schools have a few diabetic students, and she would know enough about hypo and hyperglycemia to know that what (and when) Justynn eats could have a very serious impact on his health.

You can't have it both ways. You think Mikkayla is the world's number one food expert, in which case you have to admit, with a full knowledge of the glycemic index that her behaviour towards Justynn was callous and irresponsible, or concede her pigheaded ignorance. Both options are dangerous and irresponsible - take your pick. I can see why you are such a rabid Mikkayla fan. You seem to have quite a few common traits.
