    I don't eat processed or fast food, imo they are not good for me and I don't want them anyway. I stay away from simple carbs, not because I don't like semolina flour, but because they raise my blood sugar.

    I am a trained cook and make our food from scratch and eat mostly what I want as long as it fits into a diabetic diet. I like seared meat, so mostly I cook in a pan with a little oil. Proper fats are good for us and they make things taste good. I have never been a junk food eater, I got fat on plain old food!

    I follow IIFYB.

    Mostly eat grains and beans, supplement them with vegetables and vegetable juice, add some cheese or sausage for fatty protein and tea because awesome...

    ...and, of course, booze and junk/fast food.

    A bit of both. More of the lean stuff, but with the occasional healthy dose of pizza, fried chicken, and takeout.

    Gotta have a retox every once in a while so your system doesn't get lazy. :wink:

    I try to limit fried & overly processed foods, but for the most part I just eat what I want, and try to make sure I'm at least close to meeting my recommended nutrition goals.

    I eat what I want. I just make sure it fits in my calorie goals for the day.

    Let me clarify so it helps a little more.

    I eat what I want, but i also think about what I eat. I love ice cream, but I don't go all willy nilly with it. I am not a fried food eater. I don't like it. I am not a big pasta, and or bread eater. I like healthier food choices most of the time over what I consider junk food. I know if I eat a lot of junk I feel like Schimt afterwards. I am not a soda drinker. If you look at my diary you will see the only time I really have a soda is if there is Crown in it...lol. Seriously I put thought in making sure I get the amount of protein I need to maintain my weight lifting goals, and I am picky of my carbs, and fats. It really is a balancing act that you have play around with until you get it right for you. I choose to stay away from certain food products not b/c I have deemed them bad. I deemed them not good for me b/c of how I feel if I eat them. Ultimately though if I want a beer, and hot wings......I am going to eat them.

    I hope this answers your question a little more thoroughly. :happy:

    I eat very clean. Lot's of whole grains, lean chicken breast and fresh fish and fruits and veg. Processed food is almost non existent now in my diet. Greasy, sugary, fried, junk food and all that jazz doesn't even appeal to me anymore.

    I eat what I want within moderation. My big problem is portion control so I weigh everything I eat unless I'm going out to a restaurant.

    I eat whatever I want as long as it fits in my calorie and macro goals. Fried chicken? Heck yes. Pizza? Mashed potatoes and gravy? Yes please! I just watch portion sizes. :)

    i definitely try to eat less processed stuff the majority of the time and the rest of the stuff a minority of the time. that has to do with me not just wanting to be thin, but healthy (i.e. i know 100 cal of veggies is better for me than 100 cal of cookies).

    I pretty much eat what I want, but I do also aim to get at least 8 servings of fruits/veggies per day. Most days, I don't eat fried foods or fast foods, but I also pretty much never eat plain baked chicken and steamed veggies, either.
