    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.

    I don't think there's anything I DON'T eat. I definitely don't have huge sandwiches with bacon, cheese, avocado, meat, and mayo on a daily basis. 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! :smile:

    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.

    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.

    My kids' leftovers....
    Oh, I would not even wait for them to finish before reaching into their plates with my fat, meaty fingers.

    It taught them to eat fast, because once my plate was cleaned, I was coming for yours.
    DISGUSTING!
    :s

    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?

    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 :)

    Try it??
    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.

    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...lol
