What foods have you given up or trying to give up

**dindysport** · 11-19-2008, 02:06 PM

Just wondering...

**snorkelman** · 11-19-2008, 02:06 PM

Gave up all non-diet soda. Saved a TON of empty calories.

**soxcc10** · 11-19-2008, 02:14 PM

I haven't had a non-diet soda in years. Then again I haven't had many diet sodas in a while either.

I gave up fast food for my New Year's Resolution my Junior year of high school. I'm a sophomore in college now and I've only had 1 McD's salad (sans dressing) since then. Read Fast Food Nation or watch Super Size Me. It worked for me haha.

I have given up:
- soda (except seltzer on occassion)
- alcohol
- fried food

I have TRIED to give up:
- starchy carbs....doesn't work too well, haha
- peanut butter and jelly sandwiches...also doesn't work too well
- red meat...instead I switched to 96% lean ground and eye of round cuts. I have the occassional flank steak and london broil on special occassions

**rainieravesouth** · 11-19-2008, 02:18 PM

i have given up.....nothing. to me, moderation is KEY. if i feel like a candy bar, i'll get those miniature ones rather than the regular ones. if i want mcdonalds, i'll eat a kids meal consisting of a hamburger and small fries with a diet soda, rather than a double quarter pounder with cheese meal haha..

**TulsaCoker** · 11-19-2008, 02:21 PM

Gave up sodas in January and have not looked back, food I gave up ....chicken fried steak.

**daYDreAmErX** · 11-19-2008, 02:26 PM

Nothing. I just try to eat a few chips instead of going through all the bag like I used to do tho...

**Flex_Kavana** · 11-19-2008, 02:28 PM

**Ms_Doodikins** · 11-19-2008, 02:31 PM

fast food.

otherwise i find moderation is key. if i want cookies or chips then i will have them....just not the whole batch or bag

**belairdfence99** · 11-19-2008, 02:34 PM

**PitbullJR** · 11-19-2008, 02:43 PM

I got know of a guy who got a 6 pack only eating mcdonalds for 1 month.

**onelifetolive** · 11-19-2008, 02:47 PM

soda. I literally yelled out "where have you been my whole life" when I discovered sugar free soda. I've tried cutting out all the fried foods n stuff but I realized life is just too short... rather I learned to consume in moderation rather than cutting it out completely and when I do slip up I just try to push it that extra notch in my next gym session.

**niconico22** · 11-19-2008, 02:48 PM

Rockstar...Ice Cream...Sodas....Candy.

**SilverSpork** · 11-19-2008, 02:51 PM

Second day on keto, so carbs!

why would you do that to yourself?!

you could make it with whole wheat bread and sf syrup (and just egg whites if you want to take it that far) and have yourself a decent breakfast.

I have this post workout many days

**seattlems333** · 11-19-2008, 03:05 PM

I've pretty much given up soda, juices, and fried foods. I can't remember the last time I've had a potato chip, and I think I've had french fries like maybe 3 times this year? Basically no fried chicken, doughnuts, chips, fries, etc. As for soda, I don't drink anything other than water, milk, the occasional cup of coffee, and tea. No sense in consuming empty calories in the form of soda or juice, I'd rather eat a piece of fruit instead.

**NICK91** · 11-19-2008, 03:47 PM

Ive pretty much cut out everything that doesnt do my body any good, with the exception of a diet coke every now nd then.

**determined4000** · 11-19-2008, 07:39 PM

Have acquired a liking for tuna and cottage cheese
Gave p salting my food to death.

**JasonBreijak** · 11-19-2008, 07:44 PM

none, I eat whatever I want which is usually the food that I need. Diet isn't and shouldn't be a hassle that requires sacrifice. Maybe you should tweek your training intensity according to your diet rather than vice versa. A lot of people are making it harder than it seems. Pop for example is great for manipulating insulin. If you just want to a live a healthy lifestyle or you're in contest prep then it's more understandable but for gaining mass I think you're mistaken.

**MarkVI** · 11-19-2008, 07:50 PM

All the foods I've given up I have reincorporated into my diet in moderation....most notably being:

Beef Jerkey
Sugar
Butter
Kiddy Cereals
Ice Cream
Cookies
Chocolate

Ok, so I veeery rarely eat the last 4 but still....

that's good, that's the way it should be. If you train hard enough then you don't need to worry about getting too fat. Instead you can utilize the foods you posted to manipulate insulin.

**easye7** · 11-19-2008, 08:00 PM

really the only think i've tried to cut out entirely is soda, and if i do have it, theirs alcohol in it. some things are just too good to not indulge in tho

**Olympique** · 11-19-2008, 08:38 PM

Given up:
- soda
- most sweet stuff
- french fries

Trying to give up:
- Fried chicken
- Coffee (not because it's "bad" I just think I might be too sensitive to caffein effects)
- Beer (not sure if want to)
- Cigarettes (aren't they snacks?

)

Not sure if will ever give up (not that I consume them often)
- Mayonnaise
- White breads
- Pancakes
