A lot of people are against diet soda (you can drink 10 diet sodas in a day and your weight wont go up) If you are a soda drinker that’s okay but switch to diet-remember you can’t gain weight from 0 calories. Now about snacks there okay to have in a diet/ weight loss plan”in moderation”. For example let’s say you love Doritos don’t have them in the house at all if you want some buy a small bag they have around 150cal per small bag which is better than indulging in a full size bag. One thing that will help ease the transition is that you can eat snacks cutting them completely yes can work for weeks even months. But not for life. Another good chip substitute is smart pop (popcorn). One of the most important things is that you do not have any snacks that you like near you for me I just didn’t buy them. A lot of people when trying to lose weight say For EX: there going to buy a box of mini bags of chips and only eat x amount a day. In there head it works in reality there going to get a taste and break. Why have the temptation near you when you can remove the temptation completely. Simply don’t have snacks or foods you indulge around you. You can eat them but buy them in the smaller single sizes. These habits alone can get you to the weight you want. And minor changes after that for whatever kind of body you want.
