    a friend of ours did that way. He cut down his caloric intake to 1500/ day and did some walking everyday. He lost 30 pounds.

    If you eat unclean foods it will stop weightloss immediately, 100% clean eating is the way to go

    really, look this person is clearly uninformed and makes grandiose ignorant statements. He considers fake butter totally healthy and can be found extremely rude on certain posts.

    Would you say that your post is a delightful ray of sunshine?

    Just fitting in. after all it is all about "if you are like me I will like you", so I am now going to act like you, it really is because i so care what you think about me.

    Seriously can't let it go?

    just calling out the BULLY. why, are you going to bully me some more?

    I definitely have treats, in moderation. I see nothing wrong with that. I need a routine that I can MAINTAIN for life. I just eat less ofit.

    If I want it, I'll eat it. lol life is too short to deprive yourself. I just eat it with limitation, even if pigging out on it would keep me in my calorie limits.

    I think you can eat anything in moderation. As long as you stay within your calorie goal and don't eat junk every meal of everyday then I don't see a problem with a little junk. I defiantly wouldn't deny myself if it's something I really wanted.

    anybody is like eating junk food but in their daily calories and still losing weight?is it possible?

    I eat "a little bit" of junk food almost daily.

    Ditto-- I try to make healthy choices but I also want to enjoy eating, and for me that means a little bit of junk.

    I manage to work in either wine, Cadbury eggs, or Fun Dip nearly every day.

    And I love it.

    No ill effects here!

    I have treats every day.
    But I do need veggies and protein and those kinds of foods to really satisfy my body.

    ice cream should never be called junk

    I'm working on getting my treats down to 10% of my intake. Right now I'm eating mostly healthy, but with more treats than I'd ideally like.

    Foe 3 months I gave up all fast food then I started seeing my MFP friends eating FF and still losing so now about once a week I'll treat myself but I stay under my goals daily . You just have to make healthier choices.

    I heart Fun Dip. I found it in the Halloween candy aisle the other day and did a happy dance. Of course, I bought a box :)

    Yes it's possible,,,,,,I lost 100 lbs in 10 months and a half and I have a splurge day,,,,,,it's the same day of the week every week. For the first 5 months it was an all day splurge now it's mostly a meal.....and I might throw a soda and or a candy bar in there but even on my splurge day now I always stay in my calorie goal.....my splurges range from fast foods, fried foods, sweets, and sodas! So it is possible most certainly if you do it in moderation!

    I drink hard cider everyday. I feel like that is junk food.

    God, I love junk food. I just eat it in moderation, now. Like, for instance, I work at McDonald's. Every time I work I get either a McMuffin or a grilled chicken club. I've lost 18 pounds three months!

    I have been able to indulge lightly here and there-- maybe a small candy bar instead of a big one.. or a bite of someone else's cake instead of getting a slice of my own! However you can control \ maintain portions and still end with a smile and no guilt is how you should proceed :) Its different for every person- find YOUR happy medium using others advice and ideas! Cheers to you : )

    totally agree :)

    I haven't eaten much junk food at all, but you can as long as you control yourself. for example, last week I had a small popcorn at the movies but only ate half because I wanted to stay under my calorie goal. I also had pizza with my sister the same evening but only a good portion - again under your cal goal.

    sometimes I would have an oatmeal cookie or two, or a slice of cake on someone's birthday, which is good cause now after changing my habits i can stop at 2 cookies or one piece.

    daily I have one nut bar i.e cereal bar made of nuts. there are some really nice low sugar healthy fat ones from 110-187 cals, the higher ones having a yogurt or chocolate base. this is a healthy option that I love!

    also I have a sugar free hot chocolate (1tbsp coco + 2-3 splenda) with milk, sometimes 2 a day as it tastes better than "box brand sugar + cocoa + filler hot chocolate" and has about 80% less calories, only 1g of fat and only the sugar from the milk. 30cal including skim milk per cup.

    that way I feel like I'm not denying myself the things I like, but not eating a pack of cookie dough or a block of chocolate.
