bad eating with decent results?

Yes, you can get good results even with a crap diet. Part of developing good eating habits are exchanging one good thing for one bad thing, like milk instead of coke. So you have mastered that. Another part is portion control. Another part is choosing foods that fit into a specific balance, like proportions of carbs to proteins to fats. Another part is finding foods that do more than add calories, have some long term health benefit. And so on.

You have taken steps in the right direction. There are more steps to take, but that's for you to decide which ones and when. At the end of the day, it's your weight loss journey and all that matters is that it works for you. What works for some, isn't what works for everyone. :happy:

Hi I lost all my weight eating the crap I always had but just less of it and by walking. The weight came off fine but I started to get ill was dizzy, sick constantly tired ect. it got so bad I really had to re evaluate why i was doing this I mean what's the point being thin and feeling worse than I did when I was big.

So for the last few months I've been trying my best to eat healthier and only have the junk now and again (like I've had my first choccy bar for a month today and believe me it tasted so much better when uou don't have it every day. Plus when you eat fruit and veg you can have loads more to eat as they are so much lower in calories. I'm feeling so much better now and loving the new me.

So you can lose weight eating junk but I really wouldn't advise it.

Did I sound nasty to you? This was not my intent. Apologies, if it is the case.
Anyway, I can see that you are serious about your intent and wish you luck.

Read the threads here about exercise and weight loss - lots of good info there.

(Btw - I am not a nutrition nut and eat crap all the time - just not every day and I try to watch it and avoid a lot of things)

It *can* be done... but if you stick around here long enough you WILL start eating better. I was pretty much in the same spot as you, and I too cannot STAND the taste of most vegetables (they all seem to taste like dirt to me). All I did when I started was to just eat less of the things I was eating before, and got off my *kitten* and MOVED. I did cut Coke out of my life - not entirely, mind you. I may have a sip or two of Coke Zero once every few weeks... but just enough to remind me that I really don't like it any more! :laugh:

But coming to this site every day HAS changed my eating habits a bit. I still eat pizza every week, have an occasional cheeseburger, and enjoy my sweets (mostly homemade, because I can control what goes into them). However, I also have learned to look for foods that give me more nutrition for my calories - more "bang for the buck" as the phrase goes. I've learned that I actually PREFER having an apple for a morning snack instead of cookies, and that afternoon cup of Greek yogurt is far more tasty than a bag of chips and keeps me full until dinner.

The keys here are MODERATION and PATIENCE. A lot of people on this site would have you believe that their way of eating is the only one true way, and you're a blasphemer if you think otherwise (yeah, it's a bit like a religion to some people). YOU need to find a long-term solution that will work for YOU, and the only way you can do that is to work with your taste buds to find things that you like that are better for you. Dropping all the foods you love at once is nothing but a recipe for disaster, so don't set yourself up for failure. Do some nutritional research. Set yourself a goal to try something new each week, and work it into your diet. Make sure that you are still hitting your macros. Before you know it, you'll be losing the weight you want, and getting healthier in the process.

"It's not a diet - it's a lifestyle change?" Trite, but true.

Best of luck! :flowerforyou:

BEFORE YOU START!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!:explode:
I use to be a big *kitten* fat slobby pig, who ate nothing but fatty food and more fatty food....for example:
MT: Chips and coke
LT: hotdog and coke
AT:chips and coke
LAT: Chips and coke
T: two sausages and either chips, bake potatos or mashed......followed by bread.....
I am a fussy eater so I am a creature of habbit, no veg, no fruit, no salad, no real meats.......NOTHING lol and yes ill have severe health issues and blah blah, it is my body and i try new foods, i dont like it i wont eat it, simple....if i had a wish it would to have tastse buds that eat anything.........anyways

I want to lose 10 kilos by December anyone want to prove 100,000 people wrong that people like me can lose weight?

I cut out all that food and had a sandwich and some milk instead of all the meals except tea, tea remained the same. I then began walking 30 minutes a day x 5 a week. I lost about 9 kilos, i then portioned my food, halved it all, within six months i lost 21 kilos all up. I started at 95 kilos. I got down to 74 kilos.
I then lost tafe my go to place , so stopped walking and went back up to 85 kilos, i have been struggling for the last 2.5 years to get back to what i was, i began gyming, no results, running, no results, i cant stick to a program if i cant see results...i feel i waste my time. I stuck to a program for 5 weeks michelle bridges crunch time book and i stopped, i felt fitter but it wasnt changing my body....Going back to portioning is my first goal, however.....
My question is is there a sole on this program that doesnt eat great and works hard for results?
Since i started my new job, i havnt been to the gym or done a dvd, I own turbo fire, p90x, 30 day shred, slim in 30, i get to 4 days in anything then i get bored, i want to stick to something and accountability groups dont work...I aqua aerobics every monday night........i work full time so finding time is hard atm.
I am hoping for friends in similar situations?
:flowerforyou:
and please dont hate me nutritional lovers, i try, i try and i dont like......i never not try....

Wow, I'm glad I'm not you!

I'm not a strict nutritional person and don't "eat clean" all the time. I eat unhealthy stuff sometimes. But I strive for a healthy balance.

Eventually your body is going to crash and burn if you keep treating it like crap.

I am surprised how nasty people are being. Must have a good view from that high horse.

OP: It certainly is possible. It sounds like you are already eating better than you were (coke and chips to sandwiches and milk yay!) And you WILL be more healthy if you get down in the healthy weight range. So i think you are doing good! Better than you would have if you just didn't bother right?

I don't eat clean all the time (but I do love whole foods), didn't do cardio when I was losing (though i do now), and I am in great shape and very healthy. Its a progress. You are already making steps toward it. Maybe things will just improve!

So yes you will be able to lose if you are consistent. You will become more healthy in the progress. Everyone has room for improvement.

If you are interested I do have a ton of simple recipes that are delicious if you are looking to try new whole foods

Good luck!

ETA: I pretty much am living off ramen, some junk, and what whole foods I can afford at the moment. Works just fine for me.

Yes you can lose weight. You can be perfectly healthy eating crap food. You will get exactly the body you want eating the way you do.

The above three are not true, but you don't seem to want truth. You want to continue what you're doing, despite it not working and want the best result possible. Sadly, that isn't going to happen.
