Any advice on how yall avoid caving in to unhealthy food? I used to have such discipline with it but lately I can't stop myself!!

    Whenever I'm feeling like I want to eat (especially when I'm bored!), I drink a glass of water, or I just do something to distract myself (such as answering forums on MFP wahaha). I also like watching movies or reading books!
    If you really can't control the craving, eat a bit of it, or have a snack low on calories (popcorn!)

    Stop looking at food as simply "healthy" and "unhealthy".

    Don't restrict foods you like.

    Within your calorie and macronutrient limits eat a balanced variety of foods, this includes items that are termed "unhealthy".

    Create a calorie deficit and you will lose.

    I usually eat something spicy like a couple of peporcinis. They are low in calories and the spice tricks your stomach into feeling full. Plus I usually drink a ton of water because of how spicy they are!! More water=more full. :)

    Hello everyone, especially all you water drinkers... keep that water as ice water... I know I saw someplace there is a formula which is more specific... but you will burn a few more calories (and I mean very single-digit few) bringing that water down to normal body temperature... but do that with 64 ounces of water a day... they all add up!!

    Good Workouts to ALL !!

    I drink ALOT of water. When I get bored of water I switch it up to tea. I do sometimes give in to my cravings, but small portions (a nibble or bite) just to taste. If I can control my cravings then I treat myself on my off day.

    Drinking water helps a ton, or what I like to do sometimes is brush my teeth if I am having trouble with fighting the urge to stay out of the kitchen.
