Tips for losing weight
#6
Thanks for all your responses. I definitely learned something new :)

A question about diet. A year or so ago, I noticed that I was getting bigger, and cut back on my snacks. I switched sprite and cola with orange juice (100% pure of course), I stopped eating chips, chocolate, cookies and other snacks on a regular basis, and I started eating a bit healthier. Now I'm actually conscious about what I eat.

But is it a question of removing *every* piece of snack or unwholly dish from my diet, or can I have a portion of french fries every once in a while (say once a week.) Obviously, I'm looking for acceptance here: "Yes, Angel, once a week is ok!" due to the fact that I'm already indulging in a platter of french fries at my bar every wednesday after band rehearsals. One of the friends I work out with told me that you need 1 day pr week to indulge yourself a little bit, otherwise you'll lose motivation *fast*. This line of argument seems logically sound to me, but how far does that single plate of french fries reduce my weight-losing-outlook? Is it worth getting rid of that final piece of culinary enjoyment?

Also, while we're on the topic of alcohol, I know it's a big "no-no" and all, but if you had to choose a type of alcohol to consume, which would be best suited for someone trying to lose weight? I'm not a beer-drinker myself, but I do like a nice pear cider. Assuming cutting back is not an option, should I stick with it, or choose something more "wholesome", like clean vodka or something?

edit: Armin, the reason I take vitamin supplements is simply because I'm not that big a fan of fish. I enjoy eating a good meal. Similarly, I dislike having to eat something I don't like. (You're probably seeing where this is going). When I was a kid, I had to eat stuff I didn't like all the time, but when I became an adult I avoided all the meals I knew I wouldn't enjoy. So instead of eating the stuff I don't like, I take vitamins every day.
