Eating everyday foods

I can't stand the thought of cutting out foods that I enjoy but so far I have not been able to lose anything. I have added more water to my diet but every so often I want some juice.

If you are not willing to give up your treats, then your going to plataue. Cutting down portion sizes on the junk food is a good start, but realistically you need to avoid them. A treat is called a treat because you only have it once in a blue moon. Maybe with a bit more information on yourself and your diet we could help you out better. Fill out a profile and maybe post your about your daily diet/intake, as well as your goals. -------------- - Its never about how much you can lift, or how many reps you do. Its just about doing it, and doing it right. - If your hungry all the time, your not eating enough. And anyways, being hungry sucks. ~Brad~

However, eating healthy has numerous advantages over simply eating less junk. Two biggies are better appetite control (fiber, slower-digesting carbs, regulated insulin levels) and you get to eat more (1 cup choppped green veggies is around 60 calories, 1 cup ice cream is what, 350 calories?) Plus numerous general health advantages related to everything from your heart to your brain.
