So...what HAVE you stopped eating?

Diet pepsi and diet cola sure are bad news hey! I started having one glass with the odd takeaway (I figured it was better than all those high calorie sodas they offer) but now I have a glass or two every day. I tried giving it up for a while, but somehow got back onto it. Unfortunately any artificially sweetened beverage is just as bad, so looks like water for me from now on!

I'd been drinking diet soda since CHILDHOOD and finally gave it up. I don't really miss it, which amazes me. However it has also not accelerated my weight loss nor do I feel any different/better. I am super frugal so the biggest benefit to me is not spending several bucks per week on a diet soda 12 pack. That buys me a nice packet of salmon or the best yogurt.

Given up a lot of things because cant count their calories properly.

This more than anything. If I have to guess how many calories, I just won't even eat it. That in itself has reeled me in. That means less eating of homemade foods made by other people, and less snackage at work.

Juice and soft drinks.

Oh and anything from the airport.

bad/mediocre pizza (occasionally the pizza hut pan gets above "mediocre" but not often)

bagels/muffins - because they have the nutritional profile of donuts/cupcakes and aren't frosted/iced/creme filled

bad/mediocre french fries - double blanched and/or battered only

gas station "cappuccino" drinks - used to pound a 20 oz for 400 calories every morning that i stopped for gas

Great answer! If your gonna spend the calories on something indulgent, make sure it is high quality

Nope. I haven't given up anything. Just used moderation.

Pretty much the same here with modification--instead of regular chips, I'll get Pirate's Booty or mini rice cakes or these really spicy (but yummy) chips that I can only eat 2-3 of ; lower cal ice cream (like Edy's/Dryer's slow churned), lower cal/homemade baked goods.

What I gave up completely was the fast food crap (McD's, Burger King, etc).

Soda fast food

californiabella

pasta, juice, and cheese.. not worth the calories for me

gk03ub

I have not had McDonalds since December. Thats something I've cut out completely because its just not worth it. For other things, I let myself have treats once in a while. But to blow my entire days worth of calories on one meal at McDonalds, no thanks.

ferrytrip

Mostly like everyone else - I have turned to moderation. I have mostly given up frozen pizza, pop/soda etc....
Can't break the caffine habit - too many night shifts

I have SERIOUSLY considered giving up Oreos lately - given the fact that the serving size is crazy miniscule (and it's hardly like you can stretch it in any meaningful way!), they have ZERO nutritional value, and that I seem to be absolutely unstoppable when faced with a package of them...it just seems to make sense.

Oreos are the one thing I had to give up completely! I can't eat just one.

Everything else I still eat, just in smaller portions.

Carbs. Lol

Soda

Longmonthooper

Anything deep fried and beer

rosettafaery

I have stopped eating white bread, fizzy drinks and try and limit the amount of crisps too.

LillyPandme

I've pretty much given up on hamburger buns. Most of the sandwichy things that I previously ate, I now make into salads. (At least at home.)

IwearBatmanUndies

I dont eat wheat pasta or brown rice(grew up eating the stuff)..or anything with high inflammatory factors.

Bodyfreak135

Soda any type of juice mostly. Um mcdonalds Burger King I only eat subway every like 3 months. No sweets expect protein bars. And I've given up chips completely.

myou523

Haven't completely stopped eating anything. I cut way back on soda (I'm down from four or five cans a day, to two 20 oz bottles a month). Other than that I haven't cut out anything, I just eat smaller portions

bekahlou75

Peanut butter, crunchy or creamy. I just don't like it enough to sacrifice for it.

faradaysdream

Juice! I like it but it isn't worth spending the calories on so it has just kind of phased out. Same with cereal! Haven't banned it, just can think of things I want to eat more and need to save cals for!

This^ When I'm really craving OJ, I juice it. But that's rare now that I've switched to just water/coffee/tea

I used to eat cereal everyday....but once I found out how many calories it worked out to...and how it didn't keep me full long and I'd need to eat something else an hour later...so it was pretty easy to give up homemade granola (harder to give up mini wheats...but I still eat both on occasion).

mcgeorge5

Mello Yello
donuts

lil Debbie cakes

Can't say that I miss them either.

Soda and fast food (by fast food I mean mcdonalds, wendys, burger king... ). I stopped consuming both about 10 years ago and once I stopped I never even thought about it. I don't think I'm denying myself as I have no desire for it at all anymore. A few times I did have soda if it was mixed with alcohol but that hurt my stomach and so I don't have that anymore either. And on the rare occasion my husband grabs fast food I may have a some fries. That's about it... just don't want it anymore.

blably

so really ... nothing

i never drank juice....im not really into fast food (maybe once / month) im not into sugar.....i just moderated my flips and chips

How true is this? I do find myself thinking "is the taste of this worth the calories?" I've completely given up on chain restaurants. I pay double (sometimes triple) in price for less food at nicer places....but it's not prepackaged. It's an original meal by an actual chef (not a line cook)...and that to me...well, that's worth the calories. And I always have dessert when I go out for dinner, but I share it now.

I don't buy pastry at the grocery store anymore...if I want something sweet, I'll go to a bakery and get something really good. Same with ice cream....I don't buy it and keep it at home anymore...I go to a ice cream shoppe and get a cone.

*shrugs*

I gave up fast food.... after not having one for awhile, I had a McDonalds cheeseburger a few months ago and realized how salty it was! blech. And no potato chips or soda. Everything else in moderation.

Escape_Artist

Nothing. I just fit what I want to eat in my calries and macros.
Took me a while to realize that it was the best way for me to not only drop the weight but keep it off.

When I want to eat something I just eat it :drinker:

Atarahh

Peanut Butter!
