in Health and Weight Loss
Hi Everyone!!

Thought it would be great to start a post where we can tell each other 5 food items that we have totally cut out of our diets to achieve weight loss. This will probably help some of us take ideas and re-direct our weight loss incase we have hit the plateau!

So for me these would be:
1. French fries
2. chocolate cake
3. Soda
4. Chicken nuggets (air fried them and realised they have so much oil already in them!!!)
5. Ice cream

Looking forward to what others have to tell! :wink:

    Not a thing. I prefer moderation as opposed to cutting things out. I would fail a "diet" within a week if I had to cut some of the aforementioned items out of my diet.

    Nothing for me, as well. Some things I never ate in the first place, like french fries, and everything else I just have in smaller portions, and less often.

    I eat everything I like, but not all that I like. You still have to be conscious of the calories yiu are consuming.

    My five things I have cut out...

    ~Skipping a workout because I don't feel like it (found working out consistently makes me feel like doing it more)
    ~Soft drinks & sugary juices (found I like chamomile tea more)
    ~Ice cream (found I like yogurt better)
    ~Eating two or three servings instead of one (found 1 serving, 9 times out of 10, does the trick)
    ~Guilt for not taking care better care of my body (found confidence in myself instead)

    1. Candy
    2.Chips
    3. Late night fast food stops (my night job doesn't afford me the luxury of eating a home cooked meal every night"
    4. Fried Foods
    I can't think of a 5th thing, because I pretty much try my best to eat clean. But those 4 things I did list are very difficult for me to shake.

    There's nothing that I cut out entirely. There are a few things that I only have occasionally, where I had them frequently before.

    Soda
    Chips
    Fast food

    Just eating smaller portions of the same foods. Like yesterday, I bought a dove chocolate bar, broke off 3 pieces and gave the rest to my husband. By just eating smaller portions of things I enjoy, I have been losing weight easily. It's slow, but it is definitely coming off. I might have to change that as I get closer to my goal, but I'm hoping I won't.

    As another poster said, eating what I want doesn't mean I eat a lot of it. It's still calories after all and overall calorie consumption is what needs to be watched.

    I've completely cut meat out of my diet, and soda. That's it.

    Nothing in particular...BUT I have stopped eating any food that I find I don't thoroughly enjoy--for example, if the "old me" went to a restaurant or a party and had an item she didn't particularly like (a pie that was too sweet or tart; some BBQ that wasn't quite up to par, cold french fries) she used to continue eating it until she finished the item. Now if "New Me" gets an item I don't find delicious, I STOP EATING IMMEDIATELY and either send it back or trash it. I don't want to waste a single calorie on sub-par food or snacks.

    I so love that the people who have replied that they haven't cut out anything are the ones who've lost the most weight . They are the true inspirations! :)

    This. Before I'd feel guilty for not eating it. Now, if it's not good, I don't bother with it.

    Nothing completely, however I have not eaten the following in the last 6 months:

    * Doughnuts
    * Waffles
    * Quiche
    * Pasta
    * Bacon

    Not that I was eating any of them that often before. I also haven't eaten honey, cereal, cake, satsumas, porridge, and many other things in the last 6 months.

    ETA: I would have mentioned cookies but I had some a couple of weeks ago (and had to phone up Sainsbury's Customer Careline to get the nutritional information after eating them). Those cookies from the in-store bakery combined with 3 meals where I estimated the calories, plus a blue raspberry slushie also means I haven't cut out foods I don't know the calorie values for (although I have cut down on the frequency, and the local Chinese and Indian haven't had my business because they don't list nutritional info).

    I have not cut out anything. I still ate ice cream and candies, fries, etc. once in a while. Only now I ate them in smaller portions, like 20% of my all meals, and most of my food is lean and healthy. When before most of my food was crap and only 20% was healthy.

    You just need to count calories, that's all. For ex. if you are eating 1700 cals a day to lose weight and ate small ice cream, what is like 300 cals, now you have left 1400. If you do not go over that you will still lose weight, it' simple. :)

    I dont really have to cut anything out for weight loss per se.. more so for my health in general but fast food bc it messes with my stomach and eggs bc my cholesterol is too high and whenever I eat eggs I always go over daily cholesterol goals. I dont really mind giving up eating eggs though because the thought of eating them right now makes me want to gag lol.

    For the first two months I cut out processed sugars - cakes, biscuits, fizzy drinks etc - because these were the things I tended to eat far too much of, and for me it was easier to cut them out completely than eat them in moderation initially. I felt I had to break a habit. I now eat these things again, but much less frequently and in smaller portions than before. This worked for me!
