Do you really have to give up your favorite foods?

No, you don't I have heard before that you can keep drinking your coffee because if you drink a few glasses of coffee a day its cuts your calories in half. I can reassure you that you don't have to give up your favorite foods. I was overweight and I have lost a good bit of weight(I'm in my wieght class now) and all i do is walk a good bit everyday like maybe a total of 1 hr and a half a day is what i use to walk and I lost alot of weight and have for the most part kept it off....I just went out and walked after I got through with each meal. I ate and still eat whatever I want whenever I want. I hope you good luck losing weight I know how tough it can be sometimes to lose weight!

You don't need to give up the food you want. But you need to control them and add to it physical exercise. It pays to strong and healthy!

i dun think u need to give up completely on ur fav food , but need to cut down and take up some exercising lessons in order to reduce weight

yeah why not you can give up your favorite food if only you want. Its simple dicipline to do then you got good nice body but dont too much reduce if you cant give up your favorite food its ok but hey you will get some heart attact if you getting fat and no dicipline. sorry to tell guys. eat less ,yeah thats good eat fruits and vegies too. hot juice in morning its very effective any juices but hot water instead of cold. frenchfries and with mayonaise getting fat easily. after hot juices in morning eat 1 bread or 1 cup rice then at night after 6 dont eat 6pm up. go jogging or gym. take care! --jhaz

during the war i weighed 98lbs. i now weigh 170ibs! i think you might want to cut back a little to shed those ozs. good luck.

No you do not have to give up your favorite foods in order to lose weight but you may have to cut back on your favorite foods

I've never really felt the need to diet but if I gain a little bit I simply cut down on portions or cut out carbs for awhile and exercise. Living on veggies and fruit can be boring and also bothersome to the stomach. Our house is a tri-level so we have 7 steps down to the kitchen and 7 more to the laundry area. I make certain to walk the steps more than I need to on a regular basis. I do this all winter and then when it warms up a bit, I walk outside with a friend. We don't walk daily.

Well, as for me I knew I had to give up a few of my faves. French Fries were just killing me. I do fall of the wagon, once in a while, and the damage is pretty much controlled. I just get back on track. I have also been pleasantly surprised to find healthy food/s that I truly enjoy. I love salmon, yogurt and eating fruit has just been a joy. For me giving up fast food was a must but that doesn't mean you can't have a cup of your coffee and cream now and again. Just don't over do it. That's my two cents.

I run into the same problem with pizza and mac and cheese. I love that stuff but it doesn't help when your trying to lose weight. The best thing I've found is that I stick to eating healthy with none of the no-no foods all week and on Friday I get to pick one no-no food to have. Kind of like a treat. Some things I find that I no longer like so that's a plus. I guess it's like they say "Everything in moderation". [b]**AT PEACE WITHIN** ~~STAND STRONG IN YOUR BELIEFS~~ [/b]

Moderation and substitution are 2 options. I have the disadvantage of diabeetes so I have to severely cut down on some things for my health. But just change to eating more veggies and fruits, and find a plan based on the food pyramid. Eat healthy most importantly

yes, i do.in order to lose weight, i'd rather choose diet.although the process is tearing,the result is cheering with thin stature.it isn't fit for me to do much more exercise,so i can but choose to give up my favorite foods.

Well, I don't think you should give up all your favourite food but there is only one way: sports. If you do sports regularly then you might not need to give up all the food you like, but you still shouldn't eat too much junk/fast food.
