I have heard some people dump certain foods and weight loss kicks back in. Heavy creamer and coffee is one I hear a lot, some people go to lower sodium meats, some limit cheese a little more. Are there any specific foods that you cut out and saw a difference>?

Re: Any specifics hold you back?
Pork rinds. I love them but I think I over ate, Probably too much salt also. Now I stick to using them as a filler instead of a snack.~Lauren~
support? Isn't it time to give some back?
Ask a mod how today. -
Re: Any specifics hold you back?
Cheese, especially cream cheese. I can really get carried away with it....you do also have to watch how much coffee you drink, even decaf, the cream can add upJen, 39, F

Re: Any specifics hold you back?
Cheeses, definately pork rinds, really salty meats (this one doesn't stall weightloss but it makes my water weight bounce around and confuse me) and coffee cream.

Re: Any specifics hold you back?
Cream and diet soda's. Not sure if its the sweetners+cr*p in the sodas or the caffiene, either way I lose more weight if I drink tons and tons of plain water!

Re: Any specifics hold you back?
DEFINITELY caffiene/soda. I was one of those "Oh-I'll-give-it-up-later" people who thought that drinking soda during induction wasn't going to cause problems. Once I gave it up (after a week of induction) I saw dramatic results.START 8/16/06 @ 270+~MG1: 220-12/2/06~MG2: 210-1/07~MG3: 199-3/2/07~MG4: 190-4/27/07~MG5: 180-7/04/07~GOAL: 170

Re: Any specifics hold you back?
Think is it the heavy cream for me though I can't give it up long enough to see if it makes a difference. Weird how I can do without bread or pasta but can't let go of my cream for tea and coffee.

Diet Coke for me, and sugar free candy.
On the opposite end I also saw a jump when I started taking vitamins and went to all water.Grant

Re: Any specifics hold you back?
You're not odd... I have the same problem, but it's not as bad if I have cream cheese or whipped cream w/ them... I tried adding apples back and it was even worse...Originally posted by cincywbbw

Re: Any specifics hold you back?
Artificial sweetners. Was using only Splenda and found it stalled me. I have to mix up my sweetners.Bren

Re: Any specifics hold you back?
Cream, cream cheese, all cheese, all artificial sweetners (except stevia - so far, so good). Add berries to the cream and suddenly I'm a glutton!

Re: Any specifics hold you back?
Have you guys tried making sure you get a good amount of protein with your berries and fruit? I can't eat and apple on it's own, but can with peanut butter, and berries are always with yogurt or cottage cheese same with grapefruit, i'm fine as long as it's with cottage cheese.Originally posted by adrelilucYou're not odd...
