 all this is awesome .. but is it not setting ppl up for wls failure ? i myself know im addicted to junk food and try very hard  to stay away  from it.
I know its a treat once in a while, but treats are just so yummy tasting it wouldn't just stop me from being just a treat, i would eat  more and more  until im out of control again. i seem to be having a hard time just to eat reg foods really dont  need to introduce the sweet.

I think that it depends on the person.  I have no problems eating the regular foods, and meet all of my protein and water goals almost every single day without fail.  My bloodwork is perfect, and I am continuously loosing (albiet slower now, but that is to be expected).  I feel that if i am going to put myself in a position where I am going to be tempted by one of my all time favourite junk foods (movie popcorn), then finding a NSA alternative is great for me.  I packed 3 little twizzlers and nursed these over the entire movie.  It kept me away from my hubby's popcorn, and for that I was grateful.

 popcorn is good tho  from what i was told  just not a whole lot and watching what you add to it but they have the molly mcbutter, seasalt is also better then table salt, hope others  can chime in again and correct me. ( not that i am eating that just yet )

That is also why i said for me i would want to eat  more of the junk food and that would also lead up to a fail at wls  for Me, but if you and others  have control thats awesome, i know for myself i don't 
i seem to battle food every day  some days i can eat other days its  just soup, so i know for me i have to stay away  from candy, my treats are popsicles and freezie pops that i make, i seldom have anything with sugars or i try to keep its  less then 7/8 g lol im always ready  lables  now what used to take me half hour to shop for food now takes me almost 2 hours some times i seem to get confused  but i am still learning after all im only 3 months out.

Best  of Luck to All,

Joy

Popcorn is great for fibre. Other than that, I'm not so sure.

By popcorn, you probably mean air-poped, no butter, and now salt.  That's pretty much the only way it is "good" for you.  Since I was out and making my own was not an option, my vote was for the NSA Twizlers.  Just for interests sake, here is some information about movie popcorn (size small).  Lesson:  STAY AWAY!!  :)
