5 things you have cut out!
Replies

The only thing I've completely cut out it diet soda, and wow - what a difference it has made! I know that everyone has different opinions about it, but for me, cutting it out (even my one can a day + extra sometimes habit) while really making sure to drink enough water has been a huge help. My insane sweets cravings have been tamed a lot and I've just been feeling like my urge to snack is a lot more reasonable, too. Don't get me wrong, I still love chocolate/baked goods/etc, but the level of craving is just not there.
I primarily joined MFP to lose the classic 5 "vanity pounds" and be a lot more mindful of my eating in general (not to mention stop the random junk food binges that seemed to be occurring increasingly). I've been overall very successful with the mindful eating/not overeating portion of this, and I think the diet soda ban has been a big part of this. Not to mention I'm loving NOT feeling bloated from it!
Your teeth and bones probably thank you too.0 -
1. Desserts
2. White rice
3. Sweetened beverages
4. Sleeping late or having weird sleep schedules

1. diet coke
2.fast food
3.french fries
4.junk food
5. ice cream0 -
1. Bread and pasta - even whole grain.
2. Alcohol - especially red wine.
3. Other caloric drinks. If I want orange juice, I will eat an orange.
4. Candy. Giving up sour candy was the hardest.
5. Cheese and crackers
Of course, I don't deny myself any of the above (or anything else that is bad for me, for that matter). If I really want it, I'll eat a little bit of it.0 -
Milk
Every drink other than water
Fried Foods
Fast Foods
Sweet cold cereal (my weakness)0 -
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.
Ditto for me. I wouldn't even last a week! Make it two days, tops. MFP has really helped me.0 -

Have steadily lost between 1-2 pounds/week since January living mostly on lean protein and veggies, some fruit in AM. When I snack during the day, I'm snacking on those chicken pieces or fresh tuna with no mayo you can get from the salad bars at your grocery store. Takes the edge off hunger and keeps me going until dinner.
I don't eat fast food, fried foods or drink soda at any time, so that's not my problems. It's portion control and late night binging for me. Plus depression eating after a few deaths in my family got me out of control for a few years. Am finally doing something about getting back to my old weight. Last week, for the first time, can no wear jeans I haven't fit into since 2005, thanks to my weekly work outs with my trainer and my cardio, they're a bit baggy in the tush. Hurray!!!
But still a ways to go.
This is my first post.:flowerforyou:0 -

The only thing I've cut out completely is Soda. (I literally have maybe 1 per year!)
Otherwise I haven't cut anything else out... just all in moderation. I do avoid bread/pasta whenever possible though... I aim for more veggies/fruits than breads and pasta with my meals (i.e stir fry vs. alfredo).0 -
1) Rice
2) Pasta
3) Dairy
4) Soda
5) Chocolate0 -
1. Half n Half and milk
2. Carbs (limited to 25 or under per day) - no white bread, pasta, rice, potatoes ever
3. Red meat (not totally cut but reduced to one 3-4 oz serving per week)0 -
I eat everything I like, but not all that I like. You still have to be conscious of the calories yiu are consuming.
this. exactly this.0 -
I don't completely cut anything. If I want it, I'll have it in smaller portions than I used to.
Things I limit more of:
Soda
French Fries
Fast Food
Pastries (just don't eat them much anymore, always have fruit stocked in the house instead)
High calorie coffee drinks
Instead I've replaced with more whole foods and feel wayyy healthier. I try to follow the 80/20 rule. 80% pretty healthy and 20% for fun! That 20% is usually cream and sugar in my coffee lol.0 -
