    I'm doing a 'stick to the plan' thing for 6 months and I started on Monday :S

    I can have treats as long as they fit my calories/macros.

    Do I qualify?

    I'm down to not eating any processed junk food, so long as I can eat locally made ice cream or pastries as my calorie count allows. :) Clean junk, as it were.

    One persons junk food is another persons treasure. For the purposes of this challenge, What constitutes junk food?
    I have not had any cookies, candies, pies, cakes, muffins, cupcakes, ice cream, chocolate etc. for about a month now. But I do eat tortilla chips, sweet potato fries and I drink wine occasionally. Junk food to me is sweets, potato chips and fast food. Anyone want to add to the list?

    Good points!! I guess we need to establish the rules. When I think about junk foods I think about chips, soda, cookies, cake, candy, fried fast foods, or any foods that contain little nutritional value and often high in fat, sugar, salt, and or calories.

    Anyone else have any ideas of what we should consider as "junk" food? Should we have a workout consequence?
