in Health and Weight Loss
So I am going to start following a new fad diet. It's the "S.E.C." diet. Otherwise known as the "Stop Eating Crap" diet. This is the one where you don't eat cookies and ice cream; fatty meats and boxes of wine; white bread sandwiches and soups made with cream. This is the one where if you were to actually "S.E.C." perhaps your 5x-a-week workouts would be worth something. I will keep you posted on how this new-fangled diet plan is working for me.

    I have the chocolate and "crap" every now and again but at least 90% of my nutrition consists of whole natural healthy clean foods. I am 90% paleo except for the modification on the Greek yogurt which I will never give up. I did give up bread a couple of days ago... my body just can't process it any longer and that's fine with me. I know it doesn't matter what you eat as much as how much of it you eat but still I have to say that since I cleaned up my nutrition I feel100% better! More energy, better overall body composition, etc. Good luck

    Eating crap is frequently encouraged here.

    Eating all healthy food is not necessary for weight loss and people really don't want to give it up.

    You can lose weight making portion adjustments, but a lifestyle change - switching to a whole new, healthy lifestyle - is better for you. When you're done losing weight, you'll just go on without having to pay it much attention.

    Some people will say it isn't possible. They like to use the word "unsustainable." But it is possible. People do make those changes. It's not EASY, but it can be done and has been done before. Lots of people wait until after the heart attack to make those kind of changes. But some people decide to do it sooner and just skip the heart attack.

    What you're doing is good for you. Don't be discouraged from it. :)

    ^^same here...OP, it is not about WHAT you give up....it's about HOW MUCH you give up....eat less, move more is a lot easier to stick with than some arbitrary....don't eat this or don't eat that "diet" based on my experience.

    Oh crap, I just bought new clothes and got rid of my old ones. When will the 40+ pounds I lost come back? Since I haven't demonized food, and continue to eat foods I enjoy in moderation, I surely can't keep it off.

    I have a question.....I exercise a lot it's something I like to do....I do it for weight maintenance, stress reducer and I'm very aware that exercise is not a weight loss strategy. It's biking season so I have some days where I am given a calorie number of 3,500 or so. My calorie intake averages 1,800 to 2,200, is this slowing down my widht loss since I am not eating towards the 3,500 number?

    I like your SEC diet plan but I think you really went over the line by eliminating boxed wine!!!

    Me too. Gig 'em!

    Dear OP, I will give up boxed wine with you because, well, I don't drink it anyway.

    Good for you. While yes, you can hit your goal weight and maintain it by learning moderation, there is something to be said for not eating processed artificial foods. Each of us are on our own journey and I respect those who eat all things in moderation and those who choose to abstain from certain foods.

    God bless,
    Karen
