Did anyone loss weight with eating anything they want???

so far so good
just need the calorie deficit. when i exercise, i get to eat more. which i like

Yes, I just ate less calories than I burned, which is the only way to lose weight.

Tastes definitely change over time. I eat what I want, but I also think white bread/starches taste bland compared to whole grains. I love how vegetables can make a plate look like a rainbow. My stomach feels pretty iffy if I eat high fat content red meat since it's not used to it anymore. But I've also been making changes to my intake since 2011, so that's 4 years of re-acclimation.

I still enjoy treats and if I really want the cookie, I eat the cookie. But I also work to make sure the cookie fits into my day. I rarely eat out because I love what I cook. If I'm craving something specific, like pizza, I find a phenomenal recipe for homemade pizza with goat cheese, onion, arugula, and turkey pepperoni and I love every bite. I love that I can make any food I want healthier and at a fraction of a cost (shout-out to pintrest for compiling everyone's fabulous healthy recipes at a click of a button).

This week, I wanted burgers so I made my own with reduced fat beef and aged sharp cheddar. I skipped the bun, because frankly it gets in the way of my meat and instead include a large serving of various vegetable dishes on the side.

When you stop thinking about healthier food as "diet food" and instead start looking at it as a sensory, enjoyable experience it really does change the definition of eating what you want, but it does take time to re-acclimate your palate so start making small changes over time (ie white bread to refined wheat bread to whole wheat, etc) can really make a difference for your future self and how you look at and enjoy food.

I guess really the question all depends on the context intended.

But I have been through periods where I exercised no restrictions including portion control and maintained weight. I've found that my natural eating urges taper off at a certain point regardless of how much energy I use in a day. So if I have a job that is more taxing in a physical sense, or maybe if I was retired and spent a lot of time exercising, I do reach a point where my natural desires are enough.

And at times, it's made me realize that I somewhat miss having jobs that kept me in shape. It's almost like double dipping, being paid to exercise, unless you just hate the exercise portion of the job.

You can eat whatever foods you want. You just have to limit their quantity. Calories in, calories out.

If you're hoping to lose weight eating however much you want, then I hate to break it to you, but exercise will not help with that. If you've gained the weight in the first place, then exercising more without limiting food intake will probably just lead to you feeling hungrier and eating even more.

Yep I eat what I want as long as it is within my calories for that day (give or take a few over days) and I've lost 42lbs. My diary is open to all. I exercise about 5-6 times a week (mostly jogging and some weights).

I took a Very Good Chocolate Truffle from the receptionist's desk this morning. She dared me that I couldn't take just one. I took one. It was glorious.

Yes, whatever I want as long as I stay within my calories. Exercise earns me more calories. I have found that what I want to eat has changed as my awareness of the calorie cost has grown. Some things are worth saving up for, though.
