    Nothing really, but I ate pretty ok before. Just less of certain things like fried chicken, but I still have it once in a great while.

    I don't eat ice cream or drink cow milk.

    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).

    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.

    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.

    There is nothing that I have completely cut out, but these things are 90% out of my diet:

    White pasta, bread and rice (all brown and whole wheat)
    Red meat
    Regular soda
    Yogurt with fruit (I stick to plain greek yogurt with fresh fruit)
    A full dessert. (I will have a nibble or a small portion but never an entire dessert to myself)

    I've cut out...

    3. men who wear their hats sideways.
    4. men who refuse to fish with me.
    5. bagels... until next week.

    I love this

    I'm in maintenance, but I'm in the habit of leaving the following out of my diet, and I don't miss them (much).

    1. Sugar-sweetened beverages (regular soft drinks, fruit juice, etc.)
    2. Bread before dinner
    3. Cheap, low-quality chocolate that isn't worth the calories (the kind that come in a "value-sized" giganto-bag)
    4. Fake "diet" sweets and desserts (my philosophy is that if you're going to eat it, eat a small quantity of the real thing instead)
    5. The other 17 servings of sweets I used to eat every day (I've cut back from 20 sweets per day to three. I wish I could say I were exaggerating)

    I've cut nothing. I still eat 1 piece of cake per day. My foods have remained the same for the most part. I just practice smaller portion sizes :smile:

    I'm gonna jump on the nothing bandwagon. If I want pizza, I eat it: but in moderation. However, I HAVE quit eating fast food (just the thought of greasy hamburger and fries makes me want to puke) and I've cut out diet soda...

    I haven't completely cut out anything. I have severely limited soda - have had two sodas in two months. Cut back on alcohol. If I must do fast food, I check nutrition first and make my decision based on where I am for that day's goals. I agree, moderation is key.

    I haven't cut out anything. I am just mindful of how much I am eating. I have ice cream or a couple of cookies once in a while. Just not every day and not huge servings. I have learned that I have to keep track of my calories but the reward is that I can still be bad once in a while and not end up the old me.

    Fast food

    Krispy Kreme, pastry:sad:

    Whole milk

    Candy (except dark chocolate almonds)

    White bread (unless I make it myself--I add protein and vitamins)

    White sugar. I use honey or turbinado sugar.

    Idaho potatoes (I still do sweet potatoes from time to time)

    This probably doesn't count, but layabout days. I do something physical every day..

    Cheers:drinker:

    Nothing....just eat everything in moderation, or find healthier ways to prepare it. For example: french fries. I recieved a T-Fal acti-fry for my bridal shower. We cut up 3 potatoes, add 1 tablespoon of olive oil, and let it cook for 30-35 minutes. I enjoy the taste more than frozen fries because it's fresher, and it's much healthy than deep fried french fries. You can get 3 large servings out of one batch, and they're under 100 calories each.

    I haven't cut out anything, but I do try to stay away from bread. I am very conscious however of how MUCH I am eating. Yes I am the crazy lady who takes measuring cups to a restaurant with me! I want to know exactly how much I eat, because my eyes deceive me. :) Simply being accountable to myself and knowing every calorie counts has been working.

    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.

    good answer!

    4. Most boxed good
    5. Alcohol (I'm working on that.)

    Nothing.

    (I don't have a problem with eating sub par food. If it doesn't taste great, it doesn't go in my mouth. I kind of don't get that, finishing cold fries? Gag!)

    white bread & white pasta, I go with whole grain/whole wheat. but other than that, i haven't cut anything out. i have a mt dew maybe once a month if i'm lucky, sometimes i just need that fizz. i eat my favorite foods in moderation - oreos, ice cream, kit kats, candy, cream cheese and other foods, and I only drink alcohol once a week on a Friday night & although i can have up to 5 in one night, i usually keep it to 2 & i always work the calories into my day.

    I haven't entirely cut out anything, but I have limited my intake of soda, wine, mixed drinks, chips and eating out. I exercise harder on the days I know I will indulge in them in order to not exceed my calorie allowance. Of course, I have only been using MFP for a little less than two weeks, but I had no idea of how many calories I was consuming when I drank and ate out. And I wondered why i was putting on the lbs. What a shocker it was for me to realize how many calories i was taking in.
