I still wonder if the types of food you eat matters or if you can still lose weight and eat junk food like pizza and candy bars as long as you stay under the recommended calories and points for weight loss. I just have not been eating very well lately and wonder if I would be losing faster if I ate healthier. I do really well during the day and have very low calorie breakfasts and lunches, but, for example, yesterday I run home from work change into zumba clothes and grab the kids, do zumba from 5:30 to 6:30, then the kids have karate from 6:45 to 7:45 (usually closer to 8), so I just grabbed a $5 hot and ready pizza at little caesar's because we have to get home, eat, do homework, get showers and go to bed. My dinner was 2 pieces of pepperoni pizza and I ate one of my son's chocolate bars he's selling for school. Because I eat so light during the day I had plenty of calories/points left to eat all that junk, but I don't know if it will affect my weight loss. I need to start planning my meals out ahead of time, but it takes so long to get everything prepped and ready to go. I don't mind cooking when I have time, but when I finally get home after a long day I want to sit down, not slave over a hot stove. How do you all handle your schedules? I'm sure you're all more organized than I am.
Yes, you can. It really is all about the deficit. That doesn't mean that your body won't hold onto a few pounds of water weight with high sodium diet but that has nothing to do with fat loss. Weight on the scale is just your relationship with gravity. Doesn't take a lot into consideration and is a rather poor judge of effort.
Certain foods can make you FEEL better...but it's a personal preference.
I say, the diet that you can stick to is one that YOU can stick to forever. If you don't eat breakfast normally...don't eat it because you think you have to.
Eating filling foods can help you not overeat in general but yes, you will lose if you ate pizza/fast foods, desserts..etc....as long as you are in a deficit (which WW takes care of with your dailies, weeklies and activity points).

Mine won't make any healthy changes and it's incredibly frustrating. Not to mention, he encourages me to cheat which makes me very angry.
