Does anyone on here eat junk food?

hereicomeskinnymini

I know this might be a stupid question, but do you guys still eat junk food as long as it stays under your calorie intake, or do you avoid it ? Can i still lose weight if i eat chocolate but am still under my calorie intake for the day? I have so much chocolate from easter, and i can not watch it all go to waste! I am not talking about eating 2 chocolate bars a day, im more talking about a half a cadbury cream egg here, and a couple of chocolate tin foil rapped eggs there. If i continue eating chocolate daily, just not a whole lot ( of corse i take in fruit and veggies, nuts, dairy, wheats, and good fats aswell ) will it hinder my weight loss ? Thanks !

I try to eat healthy most of the time but I do allow my self to have some other foods also....like cookie cake...today, and it was delicious! I've lost 17lbs with eating in moderation.

If it fits in your nutritional/calorie requirements, its not junk food.

I indulge once in a while...and only if it fits into my daily goal.

Unless it's a trigger food that you can't stop eating once you start, I wouldn't deny myself something I truly enjoy, in moderation. Otherwise, you may end up with binges, which DO hinder your weight loss goals. I love chocolate and I have a little almost every day and it hasn't hurt!

I eat chocolate, ice cream, potato chips and whatever else I want, all in moderation! For the most part I eat pretty clean but if I want something I don't deprive myself and have it I just don't pig out. Pay close attention to serving sizes tho, 1 cupcake is usually around 200 calories and u think yes I can fit it in but what you didn't realize is that there is 3 or 4 servings to that one cupcake!!!!!

Yeh totally lol. But not a mass amount i dont think. I HAVE to have some chocolate or sweet food, especially this week as im on my period. I guess as long as we have things in moderation its ok, if we are eating healthy and exercising etc. xxxxx

HelloSweetie4

anything in moderation is acceptable. a cadbury egg or a piece of candy here and there isn't going to ruin everything. On days that I am doing really good with my calories, I will reward myself with a littel sweet treat. Today, I'm letting myself have a serving of jolly rancher jelly beans :happy:

every now and again I'll treat myself but not on a regular basis (that's what got me here in the first place! )

Everything....EVERYTHING I use to eat, I still eat........only smaller amounts :-)

I eat junk food, but I almost always think twice before I do, remembering what it can do to me. Also, before I take the first bite, I decide how much I'm going to eat, so I don't go over that. It's all about self control.

of course junk foods are a part of life

I eat organic chocolate with low levels of sugar in it and smart puffs/organic cheese doodles somewhat often, but usually I don't really eat dinner, so the calories and other levels are okay, especially since I eat only organic vegetarian stuff and get vegetables and proteins etc. every day and drink only my daily coffee and plain water, so there are no junk calories/chemicals from soda etc. The rest of my snacks are organic flax seeds, which I eat tons of every day, so I only worry if I *KNOW* deep down that I'm hitting the junk too hard, and then I just sort of naturally get tired of it and it fades--I think maybe people could see if trading their mainstream junk food for actual 'natural' or organic brands helps them. I know it can cost more, but to me, I buy them on sale and I don't buy alcohol or meat or other stuff that costs a lot, so it works out. I hope this helps.

I treat myself every once in a while to a sweet....nothing crazy...I had a chico stik last night for a snack after my talapia dinner....but I have completely quit eating "LITTLE DEBBIES" and hostess snack cakes....

I do for the most part. Just in appropriate portions now.

^This. I just don't eat it as often as I used to.

I don't eat a lot of snacky junk like chips and candy and soda, but I still eat plenty of fast food and did when I was losing weight too. Just have to keep it reasonable and stay within your goals. For example, I might have a burger, but I'll have it with a side salad instead of fries and diet soda or iced tea instead of regular soda. I tend to eat pretty clean at home and eat more fast food during my work lunches. I have never been one to pack a lunch for work because I don't know what I will have a taste for when the time comes.

"no"........................she says, as she sits here eating a 30g tub of philadelphia chocolate! :laugh:

Only on my cheat meal day! Once in a while I will have a bite of really good chocolate. If you are trying to lose just weight a calorie is a calorie. However, I firmly believe eating wholesome healthy food is the way to go if you want to be fit and LEAN. Also, the right mix of Carbs/Fat/Protein is important too.

jhartram

I still eat junk food... just not as much of it at a time =D I eat everything I did before, I just focus more on my healthy alternatives and use the junk food as desert (sometimes planning my whole day around it if it's REALLY important to me LOL)

susannamarie

Yep. Just smaller portions.
