First, Im still fat and have much more weight to lose...BUT, let me say that after years of trying different things....only ONE has ever worked and it's what I'm doing now. I eat ANYTHING I want. I just stay under a certain amount of calories.
I have eaten super healthy before and didnt lose any weight because my calories were too high. For me, eating whatever i want (fast food, snacks, whatever) and just watching my calories is doing the trick. Simple.
Just sharing my experience:)

What a misguided comment. When I eat junk, I feel like crap, whether or not I lose weight. I gave up refined sugar and fried foods because I like having energy and not feeling sluggish, bloated, and just generally sick. Yes, I still get cravings for chips and cakes and when I eat them, I pay the price and remember why I gave them up in the first place. Perhaps if your ONLY goal is to lose weight then that's fine, but it really seems like a no brainer to me...0 -
When I lost weight doing that my body fat stayed at 30% ,but I lost weight (lean muscle).....So years down the road decided to try and eat healthier ....I only lost 8lbs over a few months but my body fat went from 30%-24% so that 8 lbs I lost was pure body fat...Thats the difference..I am 158lbs and 24%body fat there is other people that weigh less and have higher or same body fat as me.....0

just to clarify, are you saying your choice in foods alone reduced your body fat %?0 -

Just because you feel sluggish etc. from eating that food, doesn't mean that others will.

Well I did something right ?because I lowered it that fast in 2 months.I ate well and worked out.I sure didn't eat fast food everyday or junk often.I doubt you can lower bodyfat with no exercise and just diet0 -

So unhealthy. As you lose weight, the amount of calories you can consume and still lose weight will become less and less. Eating all that junk, you are going to burn through your allotted calories for the day, and you will end up overeating because you will still be hungry. I would suggest trying to eat healthier now before you sabotage all of what you have lost so far. You need to fuel your body. Eating junk is only going to hinder you.0
