    Less soda and more water...really enjoying infused water. I don't even miss the pop. Taking baby steps instead of an extreme diet is the best approach for sure. Way more realistic and easy to stick to. That's how you build healthy habits so good job! :)
    I also find I am naturally drawn to healthy food choices when I'm working out routinely. I don't crave junk food nearly as much - my body doesn't crave junk food the way it does when I get lazy.

    Excuses and Laziness in regard to eating healthier more often and being active

    I can't really say I cut anything out because I still have some bad eating (and drinking) habits. However, I try to keep them to a minimum.

    So far, so good.

    Breads. It makes me bloat. I can eat flat breads.
    I try and stay away from processed foods.
    And lots of water.

    Start by logging what you eat, not by depriving yourself. Once you have a better idea of your patterns, you'll see where you want to make changes.

    This exactly

    Diary. Didn't cut it out entirely but cut way back on it. (Loaded with salt and saturated fat.)

    I cut out meat and most animal products. When eating a mainly plant based diet I find it REALLY difficult to eat my allotted daily calories and I am rarely hungry. I've never been a huge meat eater but removing it from my diet has really helped with my health goals and reducing my fatigue through out the day.

    Instead of just cutting back on my food intake I actually started counting my calories. Omg the amount of calories in half the stuff I thought was decent to eat -lol .

    Also, not drinking anything besides no sugar added juices and water. Unbelievable how much that has helped me.

    Most alcohol because it led to me eating more things.

    Replaced ice cream with frozen fruit bars.

    I started measuring my portions of snack foods instead of mindlessly eating them from the bag or box and guessing at the number of servings I had.

    French fries. I always get garden salad or cole slaw instead of French fries when I eat out. It has made a world of difference.

    Milk in my coffee. Never liked sweet coffee, but I used to make a french press of dark roast, then turn that into three cups of cafe au lait by warming up at least a cup of whole milk. I thought I'd never like black coffee, but I realized how many calories all that milk was seven days a week. I missed it at first, then I didn't, and now, I can honestly say I'd rather drink black coffee than creamy coffee. It's like a miracle. People's tastes really can change.

    Excuses.

    And the mentality of "cutting out" any food that I like.

    -Excuses
    -Being lazy
    -The belief that I have to cut out certain foods to lose weight. I eat everything I used to. Moderation is the key for me.

    Processed meats like hotdogs and luncheon meat. I had no idea how much salt I was eating. And soda.
