Well recently I cut back on fast food,sweets,sodas,juices a lot!
I found that if I put a bit of honey in my water it gets really tasty,also instead of eating junk food I have some tasty fruits,when you get the cravings I just eat,watermelon,pinneapple,kiwis,blueberries etc after a while it really works,but my fridge has to be loaded with fruits and nuts.
I had gone up a few kilos in the last days and went off track of losing weight but I am back at 82 kilos!
You're doing really well, mate! Keep it up. You're doing the right thing by snacking on fruits and nuts, as that satisfies the hunger a little more. I don't really like nuts but I do like fruit. Instead of keeping a pack of cookies in my room, I'm now keeping a bunch of bananas. I used to keep strawberries, too, but they spoil too quickly.
^ I think a really good trick too is to not only moderate what you really want (as far as sweets and stuff), but even go for a healthier option. Like shakethelight said, gluten-free brownies would be good for that chocolate craving.
I will tell you though, sometimes the switchover from a full gluten diet then going gluten free will taste a bit funny if you've never tried it before. It really all depends on your tastebuds. I remember trying gf stuff for the first time. Yeah, it didn't go over well, haha. But I really like it now, not that I have much of a choice anyway. It just takes getting used to. Don't be afraid of trying new things.

I'm not sure if they have
these chocolate bars in Australia, but I always try and go to them for my chocolate fix. Dark chocolate all the way. In moderation of course, but a little bit is good for you! In order for me to eat dark chocolate, it has to be organic and not the commercial stuff (looking at you, Hershey!). Huge difference!
Thanks for the advice, Phoenixx.
🙂 Organic and gluten-free stuff is really good for you, and it's good that you're going to those foods all the time rather than the fatty stuff. Dark chocolate is actually healthy for you, as long as you're not eating a whole block of it. Never seen those blocks in Australia but a similar product might exist.
Here's the thing, though: when I crave chocolate, eating gluten-free dark chocolate isn't really going to cut it, and the cravings are going to get worse. I haven't exactly cut sugar out of my diet, and I'm still eating things that are not very good for you, like bacon, (wholemeal) bread, pizza, and so on, and I still lost 1.9kg (4.2lb) in one week. So even the smaller changes are going me some good. And if I fancy a McDonald's cheeseburger...I'm going to have a McDonald's cheeseburger. :

^ I've been doing the same this week too. Smoothies, yogurt, cereal, it's great. 😀 Glad to finally be cutting sugar again. It's sad I always bounce right back to sugary junk food though eventually. It's so addicting!
Apparently sugar is one of the most addictive substances in the world, so that is why you and I bounce back a lot. You're already going really well, and there's no need to cut out sugar, so keep it up!
