    Nothing. I eat healthy and unhealthy. There's a balance, of course. Eating in moderation, etc etc.

    I understand what youre all saying but if in one day i ate pizza and icecream (in reasonable portions) that would be the majority of my daily calorie allowance gone...and by the time youve worked off a 500 cal pizza portion youll have been in the gym nearly 2 hours (from my own fitness level and past experience). Id rather just lose the food.

    So what do you honestly think if you go over your daily calories once a week, once a month? You're going to gain all the fat back? Darling, read a little, edcate yourself and you'll be able to enjoy all those things (pizza and ice cream!) in moderation without feeling like you have to hit the gym over-time ;)

    Maybe it's because it's late, or maybe it's because I've eaten a lot of sugar.

    But that made me giggle like a maniac. Cheers.

    I have not given up anything with 2 exceptions:
    1. Sweets like Haribo and wine gums ( would eat a whole bag without blinking previously) one bag of sweets has the same calories as a filling meal but the sweets have zero nutritional value. I eat fruit instead.
    2. Chips (UK) French fries (US) I still love them but can't justify the calories.

    The chocolate brownie ice cream that I buy for my 27-year-old son beckons me enticingly from the shelf in the freezer, natural peanut butter by the spoonfuls (right out of the jar!) makes me drool as I pass by the pantry. Last night, we had a family meal at my middle daughter's. After the home-made, whole wheat, turkey lazanha and steamed vegetables, she served her homemade buttermilk pie and chocolate cake. I wanted huge servings of each, but limited myself to half a slice of the pie. Sweets have always been my main temptation.

    I don't miss anything really.

    The thought of disgusting greasy fast food makes me want to heave.

    A nice cheeseboard maybe? But I'll have one at Christmas.

    My current diet is exactly what I want to eat now.

    Hi all.
    I was wondering which foods you all miss the most in your new healthy life?
    And im already assuming someones going to say chocolate :)

    I eat a little chocolate every day. Once a month or so, I eat a lot of chocolate.
    Once a month or so, I eat a whole small pizza over 2 meals. with a coke.
    Sometimes, I eat ice cream, 300 calories can fit into my day pretty easily if the rest of my day is reasonable. Last month, I ate a whole pint in 2 days, made it all average out by the end of the week and was still at a caloric deficit.
    My BIG one though, is a toasted bagel sandwich with a ton of cream cheese, crispy bacon, and a couple of eggs. I'm drooling just thinking about it, but at around 1000 calories, I save that for days when I have been on a long hike. I haven't given it up completely though. I haven't given up anything completely, and I think that's part my success.

    I miss Risifrutti and reissumies, but that's because we don't have them in the States. I don't give up stuff I like if it's available--I just fit it into my day's calories and enjoy it.

    I am educated. And i am well aware that OCCASIONAL 'cheat' days will make little difference. I was on about food that you ate REGULARLY that you cant anymore. And i, for one , have had to change my whole diet. because those occasional slip ups were everyday. I dont appreciate being patronised.

    Flavored creamer in my coffee (which I now drink black). Didn't realize how bad the creamer was until I realized the nutritional data (30 to 35 calories per serving) was based on one scant tablespoon (and I was using a LOT more than a tablespoon).

    Also miss baked potatoes buried in sour cream and butter, but I'm starting to enjoy them with just cottage cheese with a little shopped green onion or chives.
