    You don't need to cut out any foods to lose weight. You just need to eat at a deficit.

    I'll join, but I'll be kinda cheating, because it's my lifestyle to eat that way. :smile:

    I'm honestly very curious what it might look like if I went dairy-free (/ even more paleo than I'm realizing I am, with never having actually known about the paleo diet until recently) for a month or two months.

    I could look into vegetarian style cheeses for the few things I need to trade out. I've already moved to almond milk for my morning smoothies, when I use more than water. I'm definitely think I might be on board with this one (as I already eat clean 99.8% of the month).

    I'm all for you taking this dive and challenge yourself to eat healthier and see even more results! :)

    You lost me at no cheat days and dairy free. In all seriousness though, good luck to you :flowerforyou: If you can genuinely maintain that for 60 days and not kill anyone afterwards, you're a better woman than I

    Edit: Not that I've actually killed anyone, mind you, I just know how absolutely grouchy and evil I get when I feel deprived

    You're bound to crash if you cut out everything good, you need a cheat meal here and there. You need to shock the body a bit here and there, otherwise it will get accustomed to your diet and it will get tougher to loose that unwanted fat. You should also reward yourself....say if you eat clean for 5 days, on the sixth day have a cup of ice cream, not a whole tub and not more than one cheat meal! Just trying to help, but I'm with you! 60 days!!!

    Lol guys calm down! Im incorporating all these things because its a challenge! I want to see what kind of results i see! You don't have to do all of these. What about trying one that's hard to give up? Its all about discipline and for me a challenge of my life. I feel like ill be able to do all of these and giving into one might push me over. So just pick 1-2-3 or more for 60 days and let me know howyyou are doing :)

    "Good" is subjective! :flowerforyou:

    missmimichan, are you going to make a group for your challenge?

    Your body won't crash if you are eating clean! There are healthy fats and sugars that keep you from crashing. Its all about balance. Your body wasn't made to rely on processed fats and sugars.

    And this reply added value to her posting how? If you have nothing positive to add, why add the negative stuff? Just sayin'...

    I think the OPs goal is very admirable, and something we could all benefit from. I would give it a shot if for no other reason than to bring awareness on what I put in my mouth, as I consider myself 75% clean and would like to do better.

    Actually it added a lot of value. I had someone message me and say that they were intrigued and asked if they could really lose weight while still eating and drinking fun stuff. So I saved one more person from stressing themselves out by thinking they have to cut out "bad" foods. I didn't think there was really anything negative about the post anyways....I said "no thanks" and included a smiley. I'm so nice.

    Her reply added value because it pointed out that what the OP has proposed is extreme and really just plain unnecessary when it comes to weight loss. Eating at a deficit is all that is required for weight loss, that simple.

    And even though the OP chose to ignore that, there are other people who read these threads and hopefully one of them will listen to the logic and reasonable advice that was offered.

    I'll join you in this! I've been dairy free (2 years) and gluten(1 month) already. My reasoning behind it is this dairy is not required by my body, it's not natural for animals to consume dairy past a certain age and neither should humans. Many people will argue that people need the calcium from milk but animal protein found in milk, unlike plant protein, increases the acidic load in the body, causing the body to pull calcium from the bones in order to fight the acidic environment, so kinda reverse logic your drinking it to undo the damage that it is doing...Also EVERY milk (even organic) contains PUS, and that's just gross. Try almond milk!
    Now reasons for against gluten:
    Gluten causes gut inflammation in at least 80% of the population and another 30% of the population develops antibodies against gluten proteins in the gut. Furthermore, 99% of the population has the genetic potential to develop antibodies against gluten. Gluten found in wheat has also been known to cause "wheat belly" because of the inflammations it causes in the stomach. Now for people who think gluten has been around for ages and never made anyone fat, bread today is made with 50% gluten vs the 5% gluten that was originally used in breads. Rice flour is a great alternative to regular flour in cooking and is delicious!

    I KNOW THAT YOU CAN EAT WHATEVER YOU WANT AND EXERCISE IT OFF OR EAT IT IN SMALL AMOUNTS. THIS CHALLENGE IS FOR PEOPLE WHO WANT TO PUSH THEM SELVES EVEN MORE :) NO STRESS. IF YOU MESS UP ONE DAY JUST PICK YOURSELF UP AND TRY AGAIN :) THESE ARE MY GOALS . AND REMEMBER THERE ARE HEALTHY FATS AND SUGARS YOU CAN EAT THAT WILL KEEP YOU FROM CRASHING. ITS OUR MENTALITY THAT RELIES ON FAKE PROCESSED FATS AND SUGARS. IF YOU WOULD LIKE TO TRY THO CHALLENGE OUT AND SEE THOSE EXTRA POUNDS DISAPPEAR AND FAT PERCENTAGE GO DOWN THEN TRY IT OUT. ITS ABOUT TRAINING YOUR BRAIN. IF YOU TRY IT OUT AND ITS NOT FOR YOU THEN QUIT. BUT AGAIN THIS CHALLENGE IS JUST FOR 60 DAYS OUT OF YOUR LIFE. MESS UPS ARE ACCEPTED.

    She didn't speak negatively of the OP's goal. She was just stating that clean-eating is not the only path to weight loss. Not everyone can abstain. Just like not everyone can eat in moderation.

    I believe she was "just sayin" also, but without the cutesy bit of vernacular.

    Her input was not negative, it merely presents an alternate method for people who are looking for a SUSTAINABLE way to lose weight.

    Eating a deficit may be all that is required for weight loss, but why lose weight if you are going to be skinny and unhealthy? I could eat a deficit by eating one huge greasy burger a day, but in the end I would end up skinny/sick/ and unhappy. Lose weight by eating healthy foods that promote happiness and well being. What OP is posing is actually NOT extreme, there are MANY great substitutions for milk (almond, soy, rice) and there are many substitutions for gluten (almond flour, rice flour). But making these switches isn't hard when your already eating healthy with mostly veggies, fruits, and some meats. :)

    The OP never stated that anything other than eating at a deficit is required for weight loss. It is not extreme, illogical, or unreasonable for some people to choose not to eat sugar, gluten, dairy, etc. It's a choice. It's ok if it isn't yours. That doesn't make it wrong.
