I recently started drinking La Croix....trying to find the coconut flavor one but right now on grapefruit and raspberry.0 -
Nothing. I have just learned to not eat as much of it as I once did. I enjoy pizza, cakes, cookies so no need to cut them out just limit them and have smaller portions. I do watch bringing crackers in the house as I lose control so eat them only when im out or when I can by a single serving size0

I gave up cheese and started losing weight after I hit a plateau. I miss it.
I am also on a low carb diet. Only eating vegetables for my carb intake. So I gave up bread, pasta, sweets, cheese, and ice cream.0 -
I haven't cut anything out. Whenever I try to do that, it's all I want to eat!0

I lost 70 pounds while eating cheese every day. The key is to moderate it--in the beginning, preportioning the cheese worked.
I also had 40%+ carb intake.
As for things I have completely cut out? Only cokes, mostly because they're not worth the calories at all. I have cut way back on my consumption of a variety of things from pasta to red meat to potato chips, but nothing is entirely off limits.0 -
My one rule that I have stuck to is this, "no white at night" meaning = no rice, no potato, no bread, no sugar, no anything white at all, ever. The" at night " is a key to this equation.0

I'm going to try this. Thanx for sharing.0 -

Nothing, actually. I don't eat some things very often, but I didn't cut anything out. Just cut down on the amount.
This.
The things that I now have once in a while (usually once a month if that) compared to weekly (sometimes daily):
- soda
- potato chips
- candy bars
- fast food/take out (thank you meal prep!)
- alcohol (this one surprised me the most, but I miss it the least)
- anything fried (I actually prefer most things baked)
- bagels (leaving the East Coast probably helped this the most)
- sauces loaded with heavy cream and butter
- pasta
- processed frozen foods (mozzarella sticks, pizza bites, jalapeño poppers, etc)
- hot wings
- deli meat
- pizza (this went from almost daily to about every other week and my choices now are much healthier)
- fruit juice
- ice cream/frozen yogurt/gelato
I've changed this simply because the less I had these things, the better I felt. My workouts also greatly improved when I was no longer bloated and weighed down! But you better believe that I still crave and enjoy all of them, just quite a bit more responsibly these days

Large quantities of calorie dense foods. I eat smaller portions that fit my calorie goal.
And Starbucks. Because I realized coffee didn't have to taste burnt.0 -

But I still eat all those things within reason. Admittedly I don't eat much bread/pasta/rice because I like to eat high volume and prefer meat and veg.
Well that is definitely working for you....you look GREAT!

In an effort to try new veggies, I joined a CSA at the start of the summer. One week we got several turnips. After that week, I have given up turnips for the rest of my life. They are awful. Worse than lima beans.
Other than that, I haven't really given up anything. We've cut back on eating out to save money and that helps a lot. Now, when we go out I want it to be for something really great - like sushi.

Having had turnips but I will agree not eating out so much saves so much money.0 -
Haven't had meat in over 5 months....now thinking of going to Geno's in Philadelphia today...would it be worth the one time of having a steak and cheese????0

I cut out any type of "diet" foods - like protein bars, shakes, frozen meals or whatever.
I eat real, whole food with continuous treats and an occasional splurge.

Oh, I would not even wait for them to finish before reaching into their plates with my fat, meaty fingers.esandford140 wrote: »My kids' leftovers....
It taught them to eat fast, because once my plate was cleaned, I was coming for yours.
DISGUSTING!

Yup that is the route I am aiming for....no "diet" food or things like that just real food I can eat and not cause me to die sooner...lol
Pinnacle......if you had a chance to try a Geno's Philly Steak & Cheese for the first time would you do it?0 -
I've cut most 'low fat' things from my diet - yes, they may be low in fat, but the sugar, chemicals and/or salt content in them is usually ridiculous! I would rather it be more natural and have a bit more fat 0

My old office was right down from there, and I get one every trip to Philly.
I eat what I consider "clean" 70% of the time, but life is also to be lived.

I'm a pescachickabeefaporkatarian myself...
all kidding aside, I don't drink soda much anymore. when i started out a few years ago I drank, on average 3-5 sodas per day. I might have 3-5 sodas per year now. mostly i'd rather spend my calories somewhere else...and if I'm going to drink them, it's going to be beer, wine, or booze.0 -

LMAO...loving your pescachickabeefaporkatarian diet wolf man and yeah I have never counted wine before but since I am on here now I will have to find out the calories because I using like to have a bottle if I am going to have some....lol0 -

That is probably the one thing I do have, now you mention it! That's more because, when I don't drink alcohol but still go out and socialise with friends, drinking diet coke prompts fewer comments than drinking water, e.g. avoiding the whole "you don't need to go on a diet!" bullship. Getting bored of explaining myself :')

That is smart....I am just getting back on this wagon so I hadn't thought of all of that and my first weekend going into it counting my calories in years. I will have to try that too and say ....it's a rum and coke...lol0 -
