I am sorry, but I have to disagree with nsmith4366 . I don't want to and I don't plan to imagin the rest of my life without Rice, Pasta, Pizza, McDonald's, Crisps (potato chips) and fruits - I never was a big fan of sweets
But I also don't want to put all that weight back on, so I will keep these much more limited than before, and I will give up biscuits for life (funny enough, I never ate them before I came to this country). I do a planned "cheat" about once a month (sometimes less, never more often). But I don't call it cheat. I call it a day out/off/joining the rest of the family/going back to old habits...whatever. On this day, I will usually eat whatever comes to mind ( Last time it was McDonalds for lunch and Pasta for dinner). It helps me keep focussed, I don't seem to miss it so much, as I know I can have it again and the cravings for a good old Pasta Carbonara or Indian Take-away have gone. It doesn't seem to affect my weight-loss and makes me feel better, but then everyone is different, Maybe it would increase cravings for some ? Maybe some people would just live for that 1 day a month ? I notice, once I didn't have carbs ( bad carbs) for a month, I want to get my teeth into something really nice and gooey.
Just my 2 cents, and good on you, that you don't seem to be missing the good old comfort food at all
