    I stopped eat junk food (Pizza , Mcdonalds, Crisps, Milk Chocolate)

    Anything with grain anything with high refined sugar.

    Sodas full fat and diet.

    I do not crave any of them (I can eat them as and when I like - if I wanted). Sorry to say I just don't fancy them (they've lost there appeal -That's all).

    wtf is a full fat soda?

    :laugh:

    Well-established shorthand? WTF?
    It is here in the UK - dunno about elsewhere. Nor do I know where any of the above posters are from.

    ETA: Sorry, the quotes got messed up! You said:
    The only kind of soy that people should consume is fermented soy. This would be like tempeh and miso, consumed mostly by Asians. Fermented soy sauce is becoming more popular in the US lately, I've noticed, and it's also okay. Anything non-fermented like soy milk contains phytoestrogens, which are terrible for you and should be avoided at all costs.



    Winter squash, green beans, collard greens, broccoli, cabbage, lentils, navy, kidney, pinto and fava beans, hummus, made from chickpeas, split green and yellow peas, dried prunes, peaches, raspberries and strawberries all are sources of phytoestrogens. Should you avoid these foods "at all costs"?

    I'm not Asian, but I do eat their food. (Or, I should say, the Americanized version of their food. :wink: :laugh:) I can go about a month without some Kung Pao carry-out or some homemade stir-fry or cashew chicken OMG or General Tso's, (thanks, now I'm wanting some Chinese food!) but normally it's about twice a month I get a large soy intake from Asian foods.

    If I die eating Kung Pao shrimp and shrimp rolls dipped in duck sauce, then at least I went out happy. I think the cigarettes will get me first though. :smokin:


    OMG - egg rolls and Thai street noodles & I'll go a happy girl too.

    I try to avoid most fats at all costs since fat equals calories, that being said, somethings just do not work without a little fat and then I use olive oil or a tiny bit of butter during cooking.

    Kinda' like when people say they eat everything in moderation. They probably don't mean that they eat ANY and EVERY POSSIBLE FOOD fit for human consumption.

    I'm another "everything in moderation" (sorta along the thinking of IIFYM) type of person.

    But. I tend to totally avoid a few foods. Not because they are "triggers" or anything...but because I never really liked them to begin with, and I'd much rather have something else in their place...

    bagels
    French fries
    tater tots
    cereal
    potato chips
    corn chips
    croutons
    breadsticks
    muffins
    macaroni & cheese

    FTR though I'm not a low carb eater and still love me some wheat bread, English muffins, tortillas, etc.

    No it doesn't. Calories are made up of fat, protein and carbs. :noway:

    Glad someone else said that, I call it 'fat coke' as well, not because it has fat in it, because it's quicker than saying 'higher in sugar coke'. Everyone knows what I'm on about, and I've never had to explain myself.

    For the last 20 months, I have been eating all the foods I love - just in moderation. It has taught me portion control. I have been kinda successful. :laugh:


    Someone who has achieved a weight loss of over 100 pounds is one of the posters that has "good" advise. After all isn't that really what being healthy and maintaining a healthy weight is all about. Eating in moderation. I am still challenging that habit as I am the type that can stay on track as long as I don't indulge in the foods I love. Ironically, that behavior is what got me so overweight in the first place. I am addicted to food and currently if I eat trigger foods I go wack-o. Think of it as a "drug overdose." To be able to teach myself controlled eating of any food is my biggest challenge,I can diet, I can lose, but I want to truthfully learn permanent behavior modificiation.

    We are not giving advise, she didn't ask for it. She asked what we gave up on this new journey of ours. Each of us do things differently and what works for us. Does not make any of us wrong, it makes us different. And I've lost over 200 lbs so the way I do things apparently works well for me, js

    Wendy, please don't take life so seriously!!!!

    I don't think it's because people have quick and fun names for things that they put stupid labels on things.

    It's because there are some people in this world that take things quite literally (these are the people we must protect).

    I don't avoid anything. I enjoy everything in moderate amounts, making good choices most of the time. Deprivation leads to craving..leads to binges...leads to feeling guilty....leads to more of the same. Stop the insanity...enjoy your food!

    Actually it's not soda or pop (pop is something you will do if you drink to much of it).

    The term you are looking for is fizzy drink!! I only used soda in my last post so you would know what I was talking about.

    You do on this site - some people only respond to exact information. - That's why I type slowly.

    Silly me... i should stop speaking about pop and to something I'm more well versed in like Pizza and Ice Cream ;/

    And, I'm also aware of what you meant by "Full Fat Soda". I was being snarky.

    I know, I'm being snarky back (although I call it tongue in cheek) - that was snarky as well.

    I eat everything..but per the eating plan I chose so no, I don't have toast in the morning, if I have it, it's for dessert. What I did change is I have just a couple of "can't easily stop" foods, so I have them once a year - i.e. potato chips. I have them once a year in a single serve bag :)

    I've lost 65 lbs. since coming to mfp last May to break a plateau and 149.5 since I began trying to lose weight, so I'm pretty happy with my approach :)

    Avoid the chemically processed food.

    Moderate foods that you can binge on.

    I try to eat 80-90% good food, foods that are single ingredients and processed minimally.

    The other 20-10% I eat really whatever I want to fit my macro numbers.

    I do not avoid anything. I eat less chocolate than I used to but actually eat more ice cream. I also eat soy and I am not Asian!

    Avoid nothing!
    Everything in moderation including exercise.

    This. If I restrict, I will fail. I have stuck to this one year, and although the loss has been slow, I am moving slowly in the right direction.

    It's awfully complicated isn't it

    "Full fat" is not shorthand.


    This is shorthand:

    Right. Around here, we just call it pop. That's quicker to say and doesn't make you sound ignorant.

    Well, you certainly don't need to rely on that particular avenue to reach your 'sounding ignorant' quota

    I just call 'em like I see 'em. :bigsmile:
