    The only thing I have truly decided to give up is soda - Coca Cola to be more exact. I would prefer to eat my calories instead of drinking them and they were adding to my being bloated all the time. Other than that I eat the same foods but practice better portion control and I probably have added an extra helping or so of veggies/fruits.

    I eat and drink whatever I want, but in smaller portions. I tend to eat the 80/20 idea - eat as healthy as I can 80% of the time and enjoy 20% of the time. Yes, I do have steak and fries and beer and wine. Just not every day.

    I eat small amounts, all day long. If you look at my diary it is broken into 3hr segments, not Breakfast, Lunch and DInner. I munch on almonds and have higher protein intake with complex carbs eaten every other day. Those steam in the bag veggies, those are a staple in my freezer. I don't drink my calories (anymore), that helps a ton. Stay away from processed food as much as possible and portion control.

    Alright, thanks you guys! I really appreciate it :)
    Yea at college (where I lost a majority of my weight) I ate whatever I want, it was just automatically portioned for me so I was able to control it better than I have been here at home.

    What people normally eat--except in smaller quantities. You are changing the way you think about food-- a lifestyle change---not a temporary diet. If you are on a temporary diet, expect your weight loss to be temporary as well.

    I eat everything! If I stuck to smoothies and brown rice I would surely die. Also, smoothies and brown rice are high in empty carbs and low on protein. Normal day for me is 1/2 english muffin with almond butter, scrambled egg and fruit for breakfast, a wrap for lunch with turkey and avocado, dinner is all over the place sometimes grilled chicken and veggies, sometimes pizza and wings. If I really want chocolate or ice cream of cookies then I just have it and adjust my food / exercise accordingly. By restricting too much you set yourself up for failure and guilt.
