[Prologue]

Bulked up a bit and now trying to go back to my original weight. I use to eat like half a bag of chips a day (I know). Been almost a week now without any chips and my head definitely feels a clearer, despite being on a diet. My aches aren't as pronounced either.

 

[Vigilant Walrus]

How often did you eat them before?

 

[Prologue]

How often did you eat them before?

Like half a bag a day. It wasn't uncommon that I would eat a complete bag.

 

[Frustrated_me]

How often did you eat them before?

I mean did you even read the OP?

 

[SocksAndShoes]

How often did you eat them before?

The OP is all of 4 sentences long.

4.

Sentences.

And on-topic: I'll devour a bag or two of salt and vinegar over the course of a year, but they're not something I eat all the time.

 

[thekonamicode]

I don't keep chips in the house but if I go to subway, I'm getting a bag of chips. My wife and I don't keep junky snack food or Soda/juice in the house at all.

 

[GKSilKamina]

I eat some chips once in a blue moon but for the most part I avoid them these days. Haven't really missed them.

 

[NomarTyme]

Yes and I feel real bad afterwards.

 

[SolVanderlyn]

Same. I have them like twice a year maybe. They're good when I do, but there's no craving for them the rest of the time. Head feels much clearer since leaving junk food behind.

 

[HeySeuss]

No way. Lays Cheddar and sour cream+French onion dip=bliss

 

[Konka]

Like half a bag a day. It wasn't uncommon that I would eat a complete bag.

You could just eat them more sparingly than a bag a day you know.

 

[deejay8595]

LOL @ everyone getting on Vigilant Walrus. To the OP, Acne will definitely decrease/clear up as you stop your intake of chips. Nothing wrong with eating them every once in a while though.

 

[nateeasy]

I've never been a chips guy.

 

[entremet]

I got all that junk food shite outta my system after college and learning to eat healthy.

The only time I have potato chips/crisps are in parties and gatherings that have them. I never, ever buy bags like I did as a kid.

 

[Jpop]

I had to stop buying chips. If I open a bag, I'll eat the entire thing. So good...

How often did you eat them before?

Really brah.... Do you even read?

 

[Fantastical]

What else are you supposed to eat with sandwiches?

 

[esms]

I can't quit Honey Mustard and Onion pretzels because I drink on the weekends and, well, they're just heavenly.

 

[Darren870]

I've never been a chips guy.

Same, besides parties or something I never eat the things.

 

[rjinaz]

Yes because they are greasy and fattening. Yet I like to have something like that to snack on so I eat pretzels now mostly. Generally though I prefer corn chips to potato chips. Doritos are awesome.

 

[Skux]

Pretty much. I only buy them if I'm out.

Get rice crackers or something similar if you want something crunchy.

 

[Elysium-777]

Eat Pringles, preferably Jalapeño or Habanero. You'll feel better.

 

[terrisus]

I never liked them to begin with.

But then, I also don't like anything made from/containing potato in general.

 

[Jpop]

Eat Pringles, preferably Jalapeño or Habanero. You'll feel better.

Pizza Pringles though....?

 

[Blizzard]

Quite some time ago. I hardly ever eat chips now unless it's with salsa at a restaurant, or some sort of chips from a party. I do like the lightly salted ones though, since they're not quite as crazy with the salt and grease as normal chips.

 

[GK86]

Not completely, but I barely eat them. Maybe once in awhile or at parties.

 

[RM8]

Yes because they are greasy and fattening. Yet I like to have something like that to snack on so I eat pretzels now mostly. Generally though I prefer corn chips to potato chips. Doritos are awesome.

An individual bag of chips is like 200 calories, which is hardly unreasonable and I doubt pretzels are much better.

I won't quit them because I pretty much never eat them BTW.

 

[entremet]

Oh, man. Pringles are gross. Never got the love for them.

 

[H.Protagonist]

That would be hard because I fucking love chips. So salty and crunchy and...

 

[Necromanti]

Half a bag a day? How big were these bags? I don't really eat any here in the States since I prefer the flavors you can get in Europe. Plus, everything comes in a jumbo bag.

 

[Elysium-777]

Pizza Pringles though....?

No. >.>

Pizza flavored anything is horrible.

 

[Servbot24]

I'll eat some multigrain health branded chips once in a while. Can't recall the last time I had potato chips though.

 

[Helmholtz]

For the past few years I've rarely eaten them. Really only on special occasions like having company over. I don't usually ever crave them (sweets on the other hand...), but when I do start eating them I have trouble stopping. Better off without them.

3-10 serving bags.

 

[Giolon]

There are three things I don't think I could ever give up -

Popcorn
French Fries
Potato Chips

Salty, crunchy, buttery - I can't live without.

 

[lazygecko]

I indulge in a bag of potato chips maybe once every 3 weeks.

 

[Nemo]

Light up a spliff and tell me you don't want a bag

 

[Prez]

Good. Once you're entirely used to it, cut out all soda if you drink any.

 

[Jpop]

No. >.>

Brah...

 

[RoKKeR]

Barbecue Lays are my kryptonite but otherwise I avoid chips for the most part.

Well I concern myself more with fat than with calories. It works for me. Before this thread breaks down into a "that's not the right way to eat" debate, I'll just repeat it works for me; people should eat however they want. Also, all things in moderation. It's not like I never eat chips. I'll eat some occasionally. Tend to avoid big bags though because I hit the bottom faster than I would like.

 

[ShadowgeistX]

I don't eat chips all that often myself. But when I go in, I go IN. Like big costco/family sized bags to myself in one sitting kind of in. No regrets, and cravings are killed in one big shot.

 

[yongeandcollege]

I've never been a chips guy.

same. more a sweet snacker as opposed to a salty snacker.

 

[Jimrpg]

How big was your bag of chips?

50g seems fine to me maybe not every day but every few days. 200g bag every day is way too much. All in moderation. I eat 1 or 2 75g bags a week plus 1 McDonald's/ kfc/ Burger King etc a week

LOL, damn man! I guess that's why it's called a "Cheat day".

 

[cajunator]

Also if you crave that crunchy texture

[titiklabingapat]

The lays Jalapeno flavored ones are so so good. They are my weakness and I don't keep them in the house for that reason.

 

[Machine]

Been almost a week now without any chips and my head definitely feels a clearer, despite being on a diet. My aches aren't as pronounced either.

The only food or drink that causes me aches or makes my head fuzzy is too much alcohol. It seems odd to me that eliminating one food item from your diet could make that big a difference unless you are allergic to it.

 

[jblank83]

I used to love chips. I'd eat them all day every day. Doritos, chili cheese fritos, crinkle cuts, classic lays, anything.

As far as quitting, dunno what to say. I just stopped buying them and eating them. Heck, I'll buy a bag once in awhile and it sort of just sits there for months as I slowly pick at it.
