I try to eat healthy stick with a solid portion control habit all the time. I also try to stay as active as I can. I have some friends that seem to be on a "diet" every other week. I have some others that eat whatever they want whenever they want. Just wondering what everyone else's habits are.
How do you "diet"?

I just always try to eat healthy and small portions. More of a healthy habit than a diet!

I hate the word 'diet'. It's human nature to immediately crave something you tell yourself you can't have so to me, diets are pointless. If you want to be healthier, do something simple to start off with. Start swapping out your junk foods with healthy snacks THEN work on portion control. Never tell yourself you can't have something because you'll crave it all the time. Instead say, I can have this ice cream if I want it, but I don't need it right now. Then have a scoop at the end of a good week!

YES! Awesome. My point exactly. Hence the quotation marks. I just have so many friends that eat a bunch of crap for a few days and then they need to "diet".

I don't diet in terms of loosing weight. On the opposite, I'd better finally put on some! But I do restrict sugar consumption and try to eat less spicy and fat food because of my skin issues.

My parents always encouraged me to eat as much as I wished. I have a good metabolism, though, so it works out.
12/06/2011
I've been on a diet for months now and will be for months to come. Trying to lose weight is hard work!
12/06/2011
I eat when I'm hungry (whatever sounds good at the time), stop when I'm full, and if I'm not hungry, I don't eat. It's all quite technical.

I finally took control of my weight and physical condition with Weight Watchers. I'm a guy, so the weight loss came a lot easier than it does for most ladies, but I shed close to 80 pounds in 7-8 months, dropping 4 pants sizes, and I've kept it off for over a year and a half now thanks to continuing to watch my portions.

We usually increase the number of walks we take, while watching out intake.

People on diets always seem to gain weight. I prefer to cut back on fatty, processed foods and go for more filling natural or whole foods. Dieting entails depriving yourself of whatever junk food you crave, which means you pig out on it and feel guilty about it constantly. I'd rather allow myself a dish of ice cream than completely cut it out, because I'd probably pig out and eat the entire carton.

If you do plan on eating healthy, it's best to keep foods such as ice cream, pop, etc out of your diet as much as possible, even if you're having a good week. Those kinds of fats and sugars are not beneficial and there are other good tasting foods that can make you feel more full and offer more nutritional value. When you do have a "good week" continue rewarding your body with healthy food. There has been a link between unhealthy foods and physical addictions to them.
With that being said, I try to eat healthy and avoid unhealthy as much as possible. If I crave something sweet, salty, etc. I try to find a healthy food that will satiate my craving without sacrificing good eating habits.
And there is no need to eat huge portions! You're not doing your body any good by over eating. Five to six small meals a day will help keep hunger at bay and help your metabolism functioning at a good level.
I'm also somewhat of a gym rat, so I exercise almost everyday. There's nothing wrong with a little sweat!

I've never been on a diet, per se. I've always been a vegetarian, though.

I don't do "dieting". I've been on my own weight loss journey since last January (48 pounds down, woo!) and I told myself right from the very beginning that I would NOT give anything up. And I haven't. I don't think deprivation is a good idea for me.

So I just watch my portion sizes; that seems to be my biggest issue. I try to eat a fair amount of fruits and vegetables. I don't eat a lot of red meat (mostly chicken and fish) and I watch how much processed foods I eat (I try to limit those as much as humanly possible.) I also drink a *lot* of water (10 glasses a day); I find that being well hydrated helps with hunger.

I try to diet, but I always end up cheating.
I've been doing pretty good lately though.

I don't diet, because it doesn't work in the long run. I just make healthier modifications to my diet, and try to detox if I really feel I need to.

I try to cut back on the portion size rather than the types of food usually

I don't diet. I eat what I can, which isn't a lot, and if I notice my body getting a bit slack or weak I just do a few push ups and I'm fit and healthy again.

I don't diet. I work out.

I'm really terrible at it. I usually fail by the third day.

I'm on a diet at the moment. Hope I can go all the way this time - not stop at 2/3 of the way in.

"Dieting" is pretty useless. If you want a lasting change you have to make an actual commitment. You won't be able to maintain the results if you can't maintain the habits and dieting trends usually don't translate to long term healthy eating.
