ALCOHOL

Bingo

Most people do not drink enough alcohol for it to make that much of a difference. I genuinely do not understand why this is offered up so often. Some of the heaviest people I know are non-drinkers.

+2

I was a daily drinker before becoming sober seven months ago. My appearance has improved, but my weight has not budged.

Some of my thinnest friends are heavy drinkers. I think they drink in lieu of eating. So I guess that's a +3.

No snacks. At all.
No starchy carbs (bread, pasta, most processed foods).
I lost 10 pounds in less than a month and have kept it off for several months. I don’t miss the carbs. I feel better than ever - no more bloated belly, puffy face, gas, etc
FWIW I am 47.

Did anyone really find giving up diet soda makes a difference? That’s the one thing I really don’t want to do. I’m down 30 (over past couple years) and have about 12 more to go. I’m already off dairy, sweets, and bread, and I don’t drink alcohol. But I love my coke zero!

Food, any food, that is the fastest way. And honestly, what a stupid question.

Nope, made no difference to me. I drank regular coke and then coke zero like nuts. No difference in weight, but better feeling overall.

REAL oatmeal or instant?

Whatever you are eating. To lose weight, eat less of all of it. There is no magic.

True, but I rarely see adults drinking juice, even at breakfast.

Where do you see adults eating breakfast? At hotels, I see adults drinking juice. At work, people are on the go and drink even worse drinks for breakfast, e.g., soda.

same here. oatmeal had never filled me up. Not as a kid, not now. I will eat a huge bowl of oatmeal with nuts/seeds/fruit and I feel like i have eaten nothing. For me it is more a treat than meal. If i use it as a meal i will only eat a 2nd meal 30 minutes later. So i just use it as a snack or dessert -- a treat.

Agree on alcohol. Although I think a lot of beer might be a problem. Wine not so much.

I think those that lose weight not drinking we’re snacking while drinking.

Alcohol is easy to give up. Too expensive anyways.

I am a candy-holic but when i started to cut my treats in half I did lose a pound or 2 within a couple of weeks. So yes sugar is my downfall.

I also cut my bread intake in half. Little steps add up.

Gluten, dairy, and processed junk.

This forces you to eat pretty well.
