    Poutine is poutine and Julep fries are Julep fries... actually, no direct connections unless you take a poutine with the julep fries!

    I have not found pics of the Julep fries... but the damn poutine.... I did, full of them.... yummmmmm!!(drooling like Homer!)

    Ugh!!!!! I can't believe you did that!!!!!

    Oh, so yummy! I love poutine. Never heard of Julep fries (only been to Montreal a couple of times). But I love poutine and will probably be having poutine next weekend.

    Hmmm... maybe dating a guy from Montreal is a good thing. Never had poutine (I am from the states)... but those look amazing and bad for me.

    I try to eat something healthy before I indulge. That way I am partially full before I start in...so I can't eat too much and don't feel nearly as guilty later.
    I certainly know how you felt, recently I had to have my blood drawn for a check up. I had to go 12 plus hours without food or liquid.... while I was in the waiting room with several other people in the same boat...this woman walks in with fried chicken!!! She sits down next to her friend and looked at her and said..."I know you can't eat, but I am hungry and if your lucky I might save you some" As this thoughtless woman opened the bag the entire waiting area started to smell like fried chicken. All I wanted to do is scream at her...by the time I left the whole floor smelled like her food and I ran for the hills!

    Wow, I would be finding a new friend. She couldn't wait for the poor woman to have blood drawn and then they could go out to eat together? This story reminds me of Stephanie Plum...

    That was my first thought....my next thought was beating her senseless about the head and taking her food! LOL

    That is what treadmills are for, plan a "cheat time" enjoy the fries, put it into MFP and run the treadmill until they are all gone. The extra activity may even expedite their process through the digestive tract.

    Losing weight does not mean you have to deprive yourself it just means you have to make good choices (sometime delicious choices will do). If all else fails you can murder the guy, enjoy his fries, and then appreciate the fact you won't need to choose your meals for the rest of your life...the treadmill seems easier, stick with that.

    I was at a gig the other day (G3, awesome!) with my boyfriend and some friends. We didn't have dinner, so they decided to go to McDonalds after the gig.
    I got a coffee, while they bought a full meal. Now, I am vegetarian and I always hated McDonalds food, except for the fries (they are awful, but I love fries so much I would eat those, if I am desperate) and my boyfriend happened to have them there, in front of me.
    I ate one. It was enough to satisfy my cravings and I guess it didn't hurt that much.
    For me, having a very small bit of something usually works, because I realise that I am craving it because it tastes good and not because I am really hungry.
    But I understand for some people this is a dangerous thing to do, because the risk is to end up binging on that food.

    Cheating is a very, very slippery slope for me, so I avoid it. I know I won't just eat one fry, it will be an entire order of fries, then a brownie, and something else...followed by multiple days of cheating.

    I keep a little notebook and write down all my cravings in it - then give myself permission to eat all those things once a week. I never actually do it (usually wind up with some McDonald's fries and some sort of candy bar) but it's nice to check the list at the end of the week and see all the things I wanted but didn't eat.

    At work they come in with pizza, chinese, bbq, fried chicken, and burgers and fries...They all pass my desk enroute to the lounge. When I smell it, I usally have the urge to want it too. But knowing what it will do to me, keeps me focused. Note to self! I will eat my planned luch everyday. I will be grateful to myself for sticking with it.

    Lately, my daughter asks me to stop at Five Guys, so she can eat the fries in the car while I drive her 30 minutes to our destination twice a week. Sometimes, I can hold off asking her for one, or two, or three... Other times not. But, the aroma in the car lingers once she leaves, and it's hard to ignore. No suggestion. Only sympathy.

    I have been a good recently. I have made my lunches and drank water and balanced my meals. Then there is that 1 day when a co-worker sits down next to me with a giant plate of orange julep french fries (if you know mtl you know these fries)... would have murdered him just to have them. I was good got up and left but now i feel haunted by that smell.

    How do you guys deal with junk food cravings? What are your weaknesses? I know moderation is the key but knowing that i could potentially murder someone for fries indicates to me that I might have other issues...haha!

    Annoy your co-worker back by making sure to eat plenty of salad or carrot sticks while he's chowing down on his french fries. Also give his french fries plenty of condescending looks. Pretty soon he'll feel insecure and stop sitting down next to you with his french fries.

    I googled it too... doesn't look like something I would ever want to eat. Regular fries, yes... but that poutine stuff looks really unappetizing to me, but to each their own...
