I love cheese!!! Starting on Monday I'm going to cut out cheese and Mayo.

I was going to cut coffee but.... no!

    I cut out soda, but I will still have one every so often.

    I cut down eating rice every day and it has helped me to loose weight.

    I would never cut cheese. I like it too much. I eat all type of cheese but in moderation. What I cut down a lot but not out of my life is pasta.
    I guess I just believe that you can have anything you want as long as it is in moderation.

    I can't tell you about cheese... but with ice cream, we just bought a box of the Skinny Cow Cookies and Cream Sandwiches... 150 calories! :-) And it really tastes really good. Certainly gets me my ice cream AND chocolate fix :bigsmile:

    I cut out white crap about 12-15 years ago and have never looked back. By white crap I mean: white sugar, white flour, white rice and... well, beer.
    I went on a low crap diet! I taught myself what I should eat, finally.

    I'd bet, if I hadn't done that, I'd weigh close to 200 (I'm 5'6") rather than 135.

    My point: make changes that you can maintain. For me it was "doable" to knock out the whites, and replace them with browns. And, it was "easy" to replace beer with wine...
    Nothing too rigorous, just long term, do able things.

    The only thing I really cut out was soda.

    I stopped eating white things, sugar, white flour, white rice. Made a huge difference in my life. At that time I lost 65 lbs. I'm trying to get back there again. Problem is, one little bite and it's like you ate a 65 lb cookie!! :(

    I'm curious as to why as well. And coffee has like 2 calories per 8oz serving.

    I would love to cut out diet soda. I was doing well at the beginning of the year and hadn't touched the stuff in months, but I'm slowly drinking a few cans a week again. It just tastes so much better with food than water, even with Mio! :sad:

    Ditto here, which for me suggests: stay away as much as possible.

    I could never give up cheese! I did give up soda tho. Well I gave it up twice, the first time, I ONLY drank water and I gained 5 pounds and never lost (for like 3 months) and then I went back to it. The second time I just stopped and never made a point to buy more. Now just drink water and the occasional iced tea. Didn't gain wait the second time which really makes no sense at all.

    The only thing I cut out that made a difference....was OVEREATING.

    Why are you getting rid of cheese and mayo in your diet? Both of them are totally fine to eat. (so are coffee and ice cream).

    I eat LOADS of cheese. It's practically a food group to me. I drink coffee daily. I have ice cream several times a week. I don't eat much mayo, but that's mostly because I rarely eat sandwiches.

    I didn't find it necessary to cut any particular food from my diet in order to lose weight.

    My doc says "If it's white, it ain't right". Which is a little awk because I'm white and he's not. I like giving him a look when he says it. It's fun :)

    I'd cut someone before I cut cheese! Why would you do that? Is there a medical reason for it?

    I don't cut anything. There's no reason for torturing yourself like that. If I want cheese, chocolate, and ice cream, I will eat it. All in the same day even.

    i havent cut anything from my diet. i feel if you say "i can never eat (enter food here)" you will go on a binge and over do it. If you love it and you want to eat it, do it in moderation.
