    Your diet should consist of unprocessed foods.
    Why? So many "healthy" foods are processed, including the jasmine rice you mentioned.
    Bread, baked goods, pasta, cereal, regular soda, liquor, and desserts must be cut out entirely until get a grasp on how to incorporate cheat meals and days into your plan without reverting back to old habits.
    Why?

    I incorporate these every day and and have lost a significant amount of weight. If you stick around for a while, you'll notice the majority of mfp-ers eat a balanced diet with their favorite foods in moderation. A healthy attitude towards food in general is a healthy approach to weight loss. Cutting out foods can actually cause some to develop orthorexia.

    I hate cheat meals and cheat days. I can easily undo my weekly deficit with those. I'd rather incorporate my favorites daily and NOT go over my calorie goal. I only have 4-5 IDGAF days a year where I won't count calories.

    Weight loss is ALL about calories, more specifically, having the right energy (CICO) balance, and nothing about the type of food you eat. Moderating all foods that one enjoys is a perfectly valid way to lose weight.

    The recommendation of cutting out foods and food groups to someone who is already stressed about weight loss in general is a sure way to stress someone out further. Weight loss is stressful enough already without having to throw rules and guidelines at it.

    because everyone knows that processed foods contain magical properties that make you gain weight, even if you are in calorie deficit.

    Don't eat green bell peppers. I'm not sure who thought it would be a good idea to eat peppers before they were ripe. Gross.

    green pointy peppers are really tasty! bell not so much
    it's little bit like spring onion in way? It has it's own taste as spring onion, before growing to a normal onion.

    Jalapeños? Yum! Chili peppers? Yum!

    I agree about the bell peppers. I don't like green, red, orange or yellow bell peppers. They don't taste any better to me when they turn ripe versus green, IMO.

    I don't know what a spring onion is?

    @DebSozo . Spring Onion. Do you guys have them in America?

    jnaa6xpovgap.jpg

    Yeah, we have them. They are typically called green onions or scallions, but I see spring onion too.

    I love our language differences. I had to google what the hell an Aubergine was!

    We call them Eggplants here
    Cantaloupe-Rockmelon
    Arugula - Rocket

    And I've noticed on the cooking shows, that Americans pronounce Herbs as Erbs.

    I went to Ireland last year and once bought a bag of rocket salad from Tesco. I thought it was just a cool mix. I gagged once I took a bite. Arugula with other food is amazing. By itself-blegh!!

    I love arugula, it's a little peppery!

    It has a great spice. Love it. It's awesome on burgers and sandwiches.

    It's amazing for giving dishes a little kick! Before food intolerances went into full blast, I loved mixing it with feta cheese and stuffing it in pita bread to make a sandwhich. Now I like adding it to steamed and stir fry vegetables :smile:

    For those who love pizza: usual tomato sauce and mozzarella, with arugula, prosciutto and tiny slices of parmesan.
    I also love arugula with grilled salmon and tomato sauce.

    ^Beat me to it, @AnvilHead :laugh:

    Cake and steak with a beer. :)

    I concur! Steak sounds good but the cake looks good! So both it is! 1600 for a 7 layer piece of cake doesn't sound that bad plus sharing is caring. :wink:
