What foods are you cutting out to lose weight?

I'm cutting out alcohol because it seems to stall my weight loss, it makes me bloat, gives me reflux, and makes me sleep terribly. My last drink for a while was for my birthday last night. I will consider adding back a glass of red wine a night after a few months. I'm also in the process of cutting out soda. As soon as I finish off this case of Coke Zero, that's it. Only water, tea, and coffee and juice in small amounts.

I try not to eat junk food like chips, cookies, stuff like that. I'm trying to get my snacks to be more nutritious now (in other words, more nutrient bang for the calorie buck). I eat fruit, or have a small sandwich, salad, make a smoothie, etc.. If I'm in a pinch, I'll just have a tablespoon of peanut butter. I will, however, have those things if I really want them and have room for them.

Alcohol lol

Grains give me cancer so I've eliminated them.
Aspartame makes people grow a third head so I don't drink any diet soda.
Lustig says sugar makes you fat so I don't eat any sugar or fruit.
Taubes told me that carbs are evil so I just don't eat any carbs either.
Keys claims that fat makes you fat so I don't eat fat either.
Nobody has vilified protein but apparently some Campbell fellow thinks meat is bad and so is dairy, so I just get my protein from peas.

PEAS. All I @#$king eat is PEAS. Oh and when I say eat, I mean drink. I blend them up in a juice and drink them while sitting on the toilet.

I also hate my life.









(srs answer: I don't eliminate. I limit so that I keep within my calories and macros and I make "mostly" good food choices)

Not cutting anything out entirely yet. Just learning portion control for now

None, if it fits my macros and I want it, I eat it. I don't believe in cutting out foods, thats how you ultimately fail. Do I eat "clean" and "healthy" 95% of the time? Yes I do, but if I want bojangles, or cheese fries, or beer, or wine, or cake, I have it. If it means i can't eat as much during the day of other things that I normally eat, I do that, or I workout for longer. No reason to cut out anything really.

About all i'm doing is switching from regular soda, to diet soda. It still gives me the flavor and carbonation i SO crave, but without all the calories and sugar. (Not thinking about all the fake sweeteners)

In a strange way, once you do this long enough certain foods just naturally weed themselves out. I don't have any food that I quit cold turkey, and I still splurge once in a while on soda or fast food, etc. But I like the challenge of eating my macros and eating well, so I sort of don't miss what I cut out. But I never was a big food craver beforehand. I just really, really, really, really like to eat.

i don't necessarily cut out anything...But I add food that is high volume lower calorie, so that I I am more satisfied. And leave less room for junk...its generally the alcohol that kills me.

I have not had fast food in months, and eat out a lot less, including carry out which we did a lot. I have just about eliminated really bad salty snacks like potato chips almost entirely, I have a SMALL amount from time to time but this was a huge problem spot for me, I have found healthier substitutes. I am working now on diet soda, I have cut my intake down to about 25-30% of what it was even a few weeks ago, so this is progress. I am really trying to do everything in moderation most of the time.

I have loss over 70 lbs, but I still eat what I have always eat I just cut the amount from 3 or 4 servings to only 1 serving. it will work.

I won't say anything is "off limits" it just ends up ticking me off and I usually end up grouchy - and wanting to quit. I want to stick with this as a lifelong habit not a "diet" so I have to make it liveable.

I decided to try to eat only non - processed foods, I've only been doing this a little over a week and I've had a few slips - but compared to what I was eating, its a huge improvement. Not to mention I "feel" so much better.

I also allow myself a cheat day during the week.

If I end up having a major craving I allow myself to have it - but only two bites.

Each person has to find what works for them.

Good Luck!

Any kind of soda (diet or not), french fries, and fast food. Don't miss any of it at all!! In fact, I'll bet the person who most hates vegetables on this site would eat vegetables before I ate any fast food.

Booze! As much as I love to kick back with a drink I found that I was tired and bloated the next day...and the empty calories add insult to injury. No drinkie for me until I see some results =(

I haven't cut out ANYTHING I enjoy...I just eat less of it, and make sure to eat a balanced diet. I make sure to get a good amount of fruits/veggies/whole grains every day and always have room for "treats". I never would have lasted if I had to cut out my favorite foods!

I have Celiac's Disease (gluten allergy), I'm also lactose & soy intollerant & do not enjoy red meat, chicken or fish (due to the junk pumped into them!!). So if there is food that is not processed (or that I can make from scratch) that I can eat, I enjoy it. I workout hard at least 5 days a week, and I'm doing this as a Lifestyle, something that I can live with for life. I'm not doing this just to lose weight or keep it off for a few years. I'm doing this to ensure that 10, 15, 20 plus years from now, I can still enjoy life and be healthy.

The one thing I learned a long time ago is that I will avoid depriving myself of something, providing I can eat or drink it with no adverse side effects and it has at least some health benefits. It's working - I enjoy my health & plan on keeping it for a long time to come!
