    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.

    I have the opposite issues, I always fail at moderation, I do much much better when I make particular foods off limits.

    i can't do moderation either!

    I try hard not to live in a world where I "can't" have something.. so the only thing I have truly cut out full stop is alcohol. And boy do I hate that, but I can't drink and get where I wanna go. Did I mention I hate that?

    1) All processed food (such as soda, juices, hamburger helper and other pre-packaged junk)
    2) Fast food & eating out altogether
    3) Chips, cookies and other empty calorie items
    4) Fried food
    5) Cut WAY back on alcohol. I stop at 1 glass of wine, weekends only.

    Nothing really other than watching portion control. Basically I inverted my personal food pyramid to look more like the recommended one.

    The main thing I have cut down on but not cut out completely is all you can eat buffets. When we do go I try really hard to stay within my calories, first getting a large salad and then some vegies .when I went to the desert bar I only took two bites of three of my favorites.

    My first thought was "Nothing!"

    ...but in the last month I have completely cut out one thing:

    1 - Diet Soda


    I know I can still have it whenever I want, but I feel so much better NOT drinking it, that I doubt I will. I've also cut back on processed foods and gone more toward the whole foods/eating clean approach. Noticed I said "cut back" because there are still some things I love too much to give up!

    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.

    This. I have been enjoying all my favorite foods in moderation....normally if I give things up I end up failing. Now tracking my calories closely makes me think before I endulge, don't want to waste any calories on sub-par food or beverages. Eat to enjoy my food, not just for the sake of eating.

    I haven't completely cut out any food that I like, and those that I don't like weren't cut for weight loss.

    There are foods I limit to occasional use only, but those are more for health than weight management.

    I haven't cut out anything.

    In fact, I eat more "junk" than I ever have.

    It must be magic, or moderation, but I'll have an easier time convincing some people it's magic.

    Or maybe it's the weights??

    I haven't completely cut things out, i just limit them! Instead of going to Mc Donalds and getting a big mac, large fries, and a coke, i'll only get the big mac, and maybe small fries if i have the calories for them and it fits into my macros! :-)

    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.

    This above.

    I've really not given up anything that I enjoy, I just have them in moderation.

    I could not go a day without a tiny bit of something chocolate, I just make sure it's good and a little bit. I try to increase my workout to work it off.
