>Potato-chips or fries or a sugary snack? Forget about it!

Well, it's supposed to be a diet after all :)

I think that one should remove snacks/sweets/junk foods from their life before even considering what kind of a diet one should do. After all, those are probably 50%+ of the intake (at least, they are of mine... I'm trying to stop) and there are very few foods with so many calories/carbs.

Sodas are particularly nasty, because one drink them all the day without realizing how much (my suggestion: switch to water, I've done it years ago and I couldn't be happier. Now I can't bring myself to drink a soda while eating, way too sweet).

(Unrelated) you know, I don't even like those this much. I just have a craving for them. When I finish eating those, I usually even drink a cup or two of water because I don't like the taste left in my mouth.

Ha, I don't understand people who say this. I've also cut sodas out of my life in exchange for water, and my weight has thanked me (a little), but I still find them delicious whenever I have them for a treat.


"while eating", I do like them from time to time as a treat. I find that they just ruin the taste of food, making everything a sweet mix.

Really, there are pretty much two things that I can manage to drink while eating, water and beer. And the second one usually only with pizza.


I agree about soda. To me it was one of the easiest things to eliminate from my diet because after a few months without one I didn't like them anymore.

I have also mostly given up fries, but I still like them even after not having any for months.
