    I've cut out my sugar and milk in my coffee... I use to like my coffee to taste almost like caramel - full of milk and sugar... Big step for me! But VERY convenient went wanting to drink a coffee - don't have to worry about all the extra cals!

    i only use egg whites in my omlettes, infact i like just egg white better than whole eggs, and then i dont feel bad about having a slice of bacon. (Real egg white, not packaged, those are GROSS)

    I eat anything I want. If I want a burger and fries for lunch, I plan for that and adjust breakfast and dinner to compensate. If I have to deprive myself, I'm GOING to binge. Nothing is off limits. But I am careful not to let those indulgences take me over the edge and over my calorie goal.
  • most of my snack foods....
    and chocolate. Not all chocolate... but most chocolate. it kills my caloric intake
  • Pasta.. Burgers w/ bacon and cheese.. lots of cheese... cut back to 1 cup of milk a day when I used to drink half a gallon...loaded baked potatoes with cheese sour cream bacon etc.. chips..

    Basically I lived off starch of any kind.. pasta rice potatoes usually topped with tons of cheese... I haven't completely gotten rid of everything. I just eat it in moderation and measure every ounce of what I eat.

    Luckily I am not a big chocolate or sugar person so that stuff was easy to cut out. I only have been drinking water and milk for years with the occasional soda once every 3 months. And I really don't drink alcohol. So yea.. for me it was carbs and cheese.. I love cheese.. lol

    Soda(long time ago feel so much better),white flour,high fructose corn syrup,dairy(not 100% all the time),meat(not 100% all the time),fried food,butter,eggs:anything not vegan,raw,orangic basically.I eat a lot of healthier more satisfying things that fill me up and help me lose weight!Just ate a fruit bowl (soy whip is good on top!).Anyone thinking of trying vegan or vegetarian please remember you need protein,vitamin B-12,iron,and you can get this in a vegan diet!I'm drinking lots of water which helps me stay full longer(eating more fiber and protein does too) and helps my skin.

    Soda, 2 1/2 months later I don't really miss it. The other day I thought I would treat myself to one and it didn't even taste good...and it was my favorite previously.
