my best buddy and I detoxed our cupboards. We did a cleanse,. We have been lurking around the message board for a couple of months but just joined.
We want to thank all those who posted with how important it is to look at what we were putting in our bodies.
We have a certified nutritionist for our meals, worth the money and a fitness trainer. We also see the doctor regularly. The three of them advised it would be good for us to rid ourselves of the junk foo and sodas.
We do have our own diet plan that we write down daily.
My buddy is down 12 pounds in two months , I am reduced by 14 .
We are going strong.

Good for you. I respect your choice.
However, I didn't trash the soda, chips and cookies and I am down 18.8 lbs in a month.

My lifestyle consists of 80 percent healthy and 20 treats.
As long as it is something you are ok with for life. That is all that matters.0 -

So you basically turned it into a house of deprivation. I will think of you as I enjoy my Ben & Jerry's tonight.
I agree with you. Ben & Jerry's is YUMMMMY
OP - Avoiding these types of foods in your home does not help you develop a healthy relationship with these types of food or any food for that matter. Unless you live in your home 24/7, you will be faced with these type of food challenges when you are out and about.0 -
jeeeez , don't metion ice cream , it my total weakness , particularly hagen daz yummmmmyy.0

*goes and digs around in the OP's trash*... What?? It's still closed... it's still good!!

Please tell me that when you say 'trashed' you didn't actually throw perfectly good food into the trash, but that you donated it to your local food bank?0

my buddy used to be a smoker... and giving up the junk he said , the chemicals , the enhanced chemical sweets that was in our food was just like quitting ciqarettes
the caffeine hit , the sugar hit, it was just like was like getting a hit of nicotine.n he said.
Our doctor and fitness trainer agreed. That it is why it is so hard to quit the junk food. It has been chemically manipulated, to taste good and give a rush.
hey it was no easy going to quit the junk but the results are worth it. We are no longer slaves to the junk and we are going full steam.0 -

to answer your question we thrashed it. We did a cleanse we we took 48 can of our diet sodas . We opened each one and poured them down the sink.
I joked and said to my buddy we are going to have clean pipes , with all those chemicals it could be draino.
the empty cans went to recycle. hey from now on we are reducing our footprint on the enviroment.
The cookies , the chips, the snack bars, the frosty cereals, the frozen low fat dinners they all ended up in a big paper bag and put it in ithe garden waste bin. We had to bring out an extra garbage bin that week for garbage collection.
hey we congratulated ourselves , hey we are junk food junkees no more.0 -
i packed-up all foods (non-perishable) and took it to our food bank. all the fresh foods, we ate them until they were gone so as not to waste money. but we won't be buying more!Please tell me that when you say 'trashed' you didn't actually throw perfectly good food into the trash, but that you donated it to your local food bank? 0 -

If it was perfectly good food we would not have thrown it out. I didn't send it to the food bank.
We don't send ciqarettes to the food bank.
If we choose to donate we want to make sure we are keeping our principals up., now that we are becoming educated on food. I want to make sure that the food bank is getting the same good quality that we are eating. not products that we are putting in our garden waste. The only good thing is that it is biodegradable.
I know I sound excited but I am so stoked with this new energy |i have got from eating well. and the new lifestyle we have got going for ourselves.0 -

Don't forget the delicious chips

It's a bit extreme, but hey, whatever works for you. You just need to realize that the most sustainable weight loss / weight maintenance plan is one that doesn't forsake entire food categories. I still eat chips and drink soda, but rarely and in moderation. Because I still eat them I don't exactly crave or miss them, I would open a big bag of chips, take a couple of handfuls then stop. That big bag would last a week, sometimes more.
I control the food, it doesn't control me.0 -

...k then.
I can respect changing your lifestyle and giving your kitchen an overhaul to help you move forward with your changes, but throwing out perfectly good food that could have been donated, pouring soda down a drain...I can't respect that.
I hope your education on food continues and that some time, months from now, you're able to look back and see that going to extremes isn't needed. Good luck.0 -
^^^^^^^^ Thanks for being there through my weight loss 18.8 down and going strong See ya tomorrow

Oh the cookies, the diet sodas, the humanity of it all!

we can't do that we are junk food junkees,
my buddy is an ex smokers, smokers do not smoke in moderation. they do not smoke one a day. Junk food junkees need to purge.
Hey the junk food is addicive, manipulated and full of chemicals , bad chemicals just like those old ciqarettes.0 -
If you think throwing out a bunch if perfectly good food, and a lot of false garbage about chemical manipulation and addiction makes you "educated" about food, you need quite a bit more education. The chemicals in diet soda are mostly essential nutrients your body needs, aspartame is just protein, aspartic acid and phenylalanine, most of the preservatives are various types of minerals like potassium, phosphorus, and sodium (all are essential minerals,) etc.If it was perfectly good food we would not have thrown it out. I didn't send it to the food bank.

The only thing you did was pour a bunch of wasted money down the drain and out to the trash. Not a single food you threw out was bad for you. Eating too much of any of those foods is bad, but then, drinking too much water is also bad for you, and to be fair, belt eating too much pure oxygen is bad for you also.
So, based on your logic, you may as well hold your breath and stop drinking water, also.0 -

All food is made of chemicals. Apples, for example, have naturally occurring formaldehyde. Are you going to stop eating apples? In fact
Alpha-Linolenic-Acid, Asparagine, D-Categin, Isoqurctrin, Hyperoside, Ferulic-Acid, Farnesene, Neoxathin, Phosphatidyl-Choline, Reynoutrin, Sinapic-Acid, Caffeic-Acid, Chlorogenic-Acid, P-Hydroxy-Benzoic-Acid, P-Coumaric-Acid, Avicularin, Lutein, Quercitin, Rutin, Ursolic-Acid, Protocatechuic-Acid, and Silver. Vitamin A, B1, B2, and B6, Niacin, Pantothenic acid, Folic acid, Vitamin C and Vitamin E, Calcium, Copper, Iron, Magnesium, Manganese, Phosphorus, Pottassium, Selenium, Sodium, and Zinc.Tryptophan, Threonine, Isoleucine, Leucine, Lycine, Methionine, Cystine, Phenylalanine, Tyrosine, Valine, Argenine, Histidine, Alanine, Aspartic Acid, Glutamic Acid, Glycine, Proline, and Serine.
All found in apples. I can't even pronounce half of that.0 -
How that was rude.So you basically turned it into a house of deprivation. I will think of you as I enjoy my Ben & Jerry's tonight.0 -
ciqarettes? Are they like cigarettes?
Good on you for your enthusiasm. I just hope it doesn't die in the @** & turn you into bigger junk food junkees than before. :flowerforyou:0 -
I'm sorry, but there's nothing healthy about vilifying food. Food, whether it's processed or not, is not evil.0

Since you're so educated, care to tell me which chemicals are manipulated? I look at the ingredients of a bag of chips, it says "potatoes, sunflower or canola oil, salt." Which of those are the evil manipulated chemicals? By the way, EVERYTHING you eat is full of chemicals. Heck, your body is 100% made up of chemicals.we can't do that we are junk food junkees,

I did exactly this 12 years ago. Well, actually, I just stopped buying it and gave the crap to my junk food loving house sitter.my best buddy and I detoxed our cupboards. We did a cleanse,. We have been lurking around the message board for a couple of months but just joined.

I HAVE NEVER LOOKED BACK.
We eat "junk" once in a while, but it is no longer the staple of the household diet. And, when we do, it's much less processed and full of chemicals than it used to be.
Getting HFCS out of my diet made EVERYTHING about eating easier.
Have you read "In Defense of Food"?
His "principles" for eating make decision making easier in the beginning.
Ignore the immature ice cream comments and focus on what YOU believe you want for a lifestyle, for a way of eating for life.
Good luck.
ps: yes, LAYS, as part of its latest marketing gimmick is offering half its line with no artificial stuff.
Lays potato chips currently have only three ingredients.
Baked lays on the other hand has a few more Baked Lays Potato Chips contains dehydrated potatoes, modified food starch, sugar, corn oil, salt, soy lecithin, dextrose.0
