    Nothing, I just eat less of it than I used to.
    That being said, I've made special effort to cut back on Pepsi, pizza and dairy (lactose intolerance, not extremist food religion).

    I can't judge I have all 3 expect I do diet Pepsi and veggie pizza and ice cream....lol

    I don't think there's anything I DON'T eat. I definitely don't have huge sandwiches with bacon, cheese, avocado, meat, and mayo on a daily basis. But I still eat all those things within reason. Admittedly I don't eat much bread/pasta/rice because I like to eat high volume and prefer meat and veg.

    I quit: sugar in my coffee (still add a tablespoon of creamer although I plan to phase that out as well), soda, redbull, sweet tea (keeping track of my food intake made me realize how many calories I was drinking everyday), fast food, processed foods and "mixes" (if we're going to have cake, brownies, cornbread, etc.......it needs to be homemade and made with the best ingredients our budget allows. Our family's just been having fun with trying new foods, experimenting with recipes and finding a healthier balance we can live with for the long haul. When I'm hungry now I don't just ask myself "what sounds good?" it's "what do I need right now?" and plan meals and snacks based on calories and my gram balance of carbs/protein/fat/fiber.

    That is what I am aiming for....great job....best wishes to you and your family.

    On a daily basis/2 or 3 times a week I no longer eat/drink:
    Pasta
    Rice
    Bread (almost completely cut out unless on a special occasion)
    Milk (usually almond or soya instead)
    Granola
    Cereal (completely cut out)
    Egg yolks (perhaps no more than 1 or 2 a week compared to 5/6 whites a day)
    Condiments
    Margarine/butter
    Olive/vegetable oil (it's either 1 calorie or coconut oil unless for an occasion)

    I'm pretty healthy anyway so never had to explicitly cut fast food, crisps, biscuits etc. since i rarely ate them anyway.

    For the most part we (my fiancé and I) have given up diet soda and switched to sparkling water instead. I really like the La Croix flavored sparkling waters. No artificial sweeteners, calories, or caffeine. :smiley:

    Nothing. I have just learned to not eat as much of it as I once did. I enjoy pizza, cakes, cookies so no need to cut them out just limit them and have smaller portions. I do watch bringing crackers in the house as I lose control so eat them only when im out or when I can by a single serving size

    I gave up cheese and started losing weight after I hit a plateau. I miss it. :(
    I am also on a low carb diet. Only eating vegetables for my carb intake. So I gave up bread, pasta, sweets, cheese, and ice cream.

    I haven't cut anything out. Whenever I try to do that, it's all I want to eat!

    I lost 70 pounds while eating cheese every day. The key is to moderate it--in the beginning, preportioning the cheese worked.

    I also had 40%+ carb intake.

    As for things I have completely cut out? Only cokes, mostly because they're not worth the calories at all. I have cut way back on my consumption of a variety of things from pasta to red meat to potato chips, but nothing is entirely off limits.

    My one rule that I have stuck to is this, "no white at night" meaning = no rice, no potato, no bread, no sugar, no anything white at all, ever. The" at night " is a key to this equation.

    Nothing, actually. I don't eat some things very often, but I didn't cut anything out. Just cut down on the amount.

    This.

    The things that I now have once in a while (usually once a month if that) compared to weekly (sometimes daily):
    - soda
    - potato chips
    - candy bars
    - fast food/take out (thank you meal prep!)
    - alcohol (this one surprised me the most, but I miss it the least)
    - anything fried (I actually prefer most things baked)
    - bagels (leaving the East Coast probably helped this the most)
    - sauces loaded with heavy cream and butter
    - pasta
    - processed frozen foods (mozzarella sticks, pizza bites, jalapeño poppers, etc)
    - hot wings
    - deli meat
    - pizza (this went from almost daily to about every other week and my choices now are much healthier)
    - fruit juice
    - ice cream/frozen yogurt/gelato

    I've changed this simply because the less I had these things, the better I felt. My workouts also greatly improved when I was no longer bloated and weighed down! But you better believe that I still crave and enjoy all of them, just quite a bit more responsibly these days :)
