When YOU go on a diet,or try eating healthy,do you cut out all rubbish?

Question

stop the rubbish gradually
OR
allow yourself a treat every day,or every so often.

Answer 1

You have to allow yourself treats, otherwise you just go on a binge. Well I do!

Answer 2

No, I do not cut on all rubbish!

If you are too hard on yourself you will fail, get frustrated, and hate the hole idea of dieting.

I do not diet. I try to maintain good healthy eating habits, and so my body weight will be naturally stable and where it should be.

An occasional "rubbish" will not make me obese. I just reduce all fatty and sugary foods and drinks. Do a good amount of exercises and keep active ( I do not kill myself either doing it), and keep good eating habits:

1) I eat what I need; not necessarily all I want.
2) I know I will be eating again in a couple of hours, so no need to fill up like a storage bin. (3 meals a day).
3) Have veggies, fruit, lean meat, skinless poultry, whole grain products,...

And occasionally, I have a "rubbish treat" with no guilt about it. It is part of my healthy natural eating habits.

Answer 3

try finding some healthy alternatives.... like say you want potato chips...... well try getting a small bag and get the baked ones, or you want some cookies get 100 cal. pack of them..... you can find these at a locale wal-mart or grocery store. You should treat yourself every once in a while....... at the most once a week. You don't want to make your self unhappy. Oh and you know a piece of chocolate a day is supposed to be healthy for you... now i don't mean a whole Hershey's bar. I mean like one piece of dark chocolate. Try getting the individually rapped ones. You know the kind you get or buy for Halloween. GL with your diet it seems like everyone is on a diet these days



P.S.
they have healthy chips that give you like one serving of fruits or vegies

next time your in the store try looking for flat earth chips... they will be in a blue-ish bag. Remember..... don't eat to much or all your hard work is gone!

Answer 4

You have to cut it out for a diet to work long term. It is too easy to come up with excuses for allowing yourself a treat (I've had a bad day, I've been good all week, etc.). If you cut them out completely and switch to healthy alternatives, you will be more successful in the long run. Total weight loss now 35lbs. from 180 to 145 and counting.

Answer 5

I cut out the pure rubbish, what is known as junk food. After all, there is a reason why it's called junk. However, I do indulge in semi-healthy things, like trail mix with Reese's Pieces and semi-sweet chocolate chips (my husband's creation), fat free, whole wheat, vegan chocolate cake, the occasional cookie, etc. Usually, when I want something sweet, I have an all natural chocolate chip granola bar from Trader Joe's. They only have ten more calories than the processed 100-calorie pack cookies, but for the health benefits, it's much worth it. I feel as though I'm indulging, whith out giving my body pure junk. However, last night, I had one of my MIL's Toll House cookies and could only eat half, as it was too sweet. If I had time, I would play with the recipe-- Whole wheat flour instead of white, semi-sweet chips instead of milk chocolate, apple sauce for the eggs and the oil (or maybe buy an egg replacer or keep the oil in), etc. The other day I had a small muffin from a mix and it was too sweet for me so I only ate a couple of bites and threw the rest out, reasoning that it was okay, as it wasn't real food anyway.

Even something as simple as a banana or a handful of raisins are enough for sweet for me.

For things like fried, I just can't tolerate them anymore. I first cut out fast food becuase it was too expensive, eventually, it was for health reasons, especially after I started feeling sick after a trip to McDonald's (which lead me to do research on the food, and helped lead to my vegetarianism). However, my husband makes a good stir-fried potato that is similar to, say, Bob Evan's home fries, but healthier, as he boils them first, then gives them a quick stir fry in olive oil. I top them off with some organic ketchup. (I don't like eating out anymore. I can eat at home for better and cheaper.)

For me, it's not a "diet" in the pop culture definition, but a diet as a lifestyle, it's a large part of who I am.

Answer 6

I cut out all the rubbish for several months, then when a special occasion arises, I eat junk for a few days and then it's back to no junk for months.

Answer 7

Answer 8

First rule - NO fast food, french fries or cokes. Eat at home. You'll realize quickly how your weight comes off. I don't eat a meal. I snack about five times a day on basically just whatever my mood is. Never deny a craving just don't go overboard.
Walk every chance you get.

Answer 9

I could never do without a little treat a day - life wouldn't be worth living if you completely cut out all pleasure when it came to eating!!

Answer 10

For a day or two, possibly even three. Then I have a massive catch up binge after which I usually go to bed feeling bad.
