I’ve decided to completely to completely cut out junk food, will this help lose weight? Has anyone else completely cut out unhealthy food on here?

I’ve normally eat relatively healthy. At times I’ve gone off track on and off for a few months. But I am back on track now. I’ve been eating fresh cooked dinners and lunches and I have porridge for breakfast. I still feel like I wasn’t incorporating enough fruit and healthy snacks. I tend to snack on cereal bars a few times a day, they are like honey nut biscuit bars and I’ll have a packet of pop chip crisps a day that’s the most unhealthy foods I eat.

I have decided to take a step further and cut those biscuit bars and crisps completely. I’ve always had a weakness for “biscuits” and realise this could be preventing me from weight loss goals. Yesterday I bought more fruit, carrots, edname and hummus to replace these snacks. Is this a good thing? I am also training for a 10k run and a half marathon this year so I feel like clean eating will help with recovery from exercise but also I want to see the results from training!

I wouldn't count on it. I've been eating junk food all my life and, up until about 18 years ago, was skinny as a stick! Activity will help keep you skinny!
I used to have a pool in the back yard that I lived in all summer, a bike that I'd ride several miles on at least 3 times a week, a girlfriend I could fuck 3 or 4 times a week, a job that I busted ass in, a band that I played drums for and, quite often, after gigs, I'd walk home at least 10 miles!! One day, I lost all of that and started gaining weight!!

I still don't understand how so few people understand weight loss.

I only eat a Subway sandwich once a day.

6" for brunch and the other half 6 inches I eat around 6pm.

Nothing's else at all!

I have been doing this for almost 5 months since my boyfriend died suddenly. It's either eat that Subway sandwich everyday or nothing.

Without meaning to, I have lost 20 lbs. since before he died.

Yes, cutting out junk food will definitely help you lose weight, I cut it out, I remember the days when I used to eat 4 large hamburgers and didn't feel like it, even though I ate chips, I remember eating more and feeling unhappy, now I eat healthy, do exercise, and lose weight every week.

Oh yeah. That’s why I thought I’d take another step and cut it out altogether as I get too tempted. And then you regret it after you’ve binged on something!

[mementomorii-]

You are right!! if i start to eat fast food again, i know i will eat more and i will regret

[Asker]

Me too. I’m the same, I think if I cut those biscuits out it will make it less tempting!

Or

Or you can eat healthier biscuits. My dietitian told me that I can have one of the oatmeal chocolate bars as a snack when I have a sweet tooth.

Yes I've cut it out completely and follow a ketogenic diet. I've lost 31lbs in less than 2 months.

I also count calories and do intermittent fasting via OMAD (One meal a day).

Yes it certainly will, but you should read labels and count calories.
