I don't want to stop eating ANY foods, including carbs and those that have fat. The way I want to lose weight is simply by monitoring what I eat and trying to REDUCE my intake of "bad foods," ie junk food and sweets. However, I want to still be able to eat a bag of chips every now and then, and a cone of ice cream.

Is this being realistic? Or do I have to COMPLETELY eliminate certain foods from my diet?:confused:
 
you're better off not eliminated foods -in my opinion -you're less likely to binge..

some foods i do avoid for health reasons (like anything with High fructose corn syrup) but other than that if it's in my calorie range -it's fair game
 
Helga,
I haven't eliminated any foods from my diet. If I want it, I allow for it in my daily calories.

That being said, I rarely if ever eat chips, ice cream etc. Generally speaking, I'd rather not devote the calories to them.

However, that is the benefit of watching calories, you know what's going in, how much you need and you allot for them.

Very different then mindless eating!
 
You merely have to find out how many calories you needed per day--websites have calculators for this, and then count how many calories are in what you are eating--nutritional information, and make sure you stay under what you need so your body takes it from the fat that's stored.
 
I hard a hard time with keeping track of calories until someone had said to go to fitday to keep track of it.
It's such an easy way to keep track of your calories as well as the activities you do, your goals, etc! It's an awesome site, try it out and see whatcha think! What I like best is that if I can't find a food in there, I can add my own custom food :D I hope that helps!
 
What is now and then .I take it in your case as one a day .It is harmful but it is OK.Try to work out a bit.You can have a sugar free ice cream.This is OK.(My advice ,Try to cut down your chips intake)
