The Off-Limits List: No Fried February
Hi everyone, it’s Alex and I am checking in to see how everyone did without the first item on our Off-Limits List for our Bikini Body Countdown: No sweets! I fared much better than I expected. Even though I am a baker, I kept my spatula at bay and managed to curb my sugar cravings with a few of Lauren’s sugar-nixing tips. How about you?
I wanted to post this reminder today since February is all about cutting out fried food here at the LC offices. (We’re still trying to comprehend the idea of going a month without French fries, but I think we can manage.) I know that many of you created your own list, so be sure to let us know what you’re giving up this month in the comments below.
How did you do last month? Are you going to give up fried foods with us?
If you do decide to join us for No Fried February, be sure so share your favorite non-fried foods and treats too.
Cheers to #NoFriedFebruary, ladies!
Xx Alex

I'm sorry but it is highly irresponsible to tell people that they should avoid gluten entirely. The only people who should be gluten free are those who are intolerant to it and have actually been diagnosed as celiac. It is perfectly fine for people to eat it otherwise and telling them to avoid it completely can be detrimental and trigger a food sensitivity. -
I love this idea so mine are: 1:MacDonalds and Burger King 2:Pizza unless I make a healthy option at home 3: Deep fried evilness 4:Anything precooked. Then I'll make some more up when those are done. I'm on a weight loss mission as I am going to be famous one day!

Just found this! I know what I'll be doing in April! It's going to be a challenge, for sure. -
What a great way to keep yourself in check without cutting everything at once, I only wish I had found this sooner! -
just starting this up next month no juice or pop this one is gonna be super hard for me!!!!!!!!!
-
I MADE IT!!! All the way through February without a single french fry. I'm so proud of myself! -
I didn't see this until now but I'm definitely on board to continue this until the summer...not only for a physically good body but to feel great as well! -

For the no juice or soda month what is classed as juice? Fresh fruit juice or juice you add water to? If anyone knows could they as am due to go on holiday on that month and would like to know what i can substatue for. Xxx -

This is such an awesome idea! I'm a little late for february but definitely will start this and continue it into june.

I was very good about staying away from fried foods until I got to college...sweet potato fries are my weakness...but I'm going to give it my best shot -
So far I have stayed away from sweets and now I'm staying away from fried foods. I even got my boyfriend to stop drinking soda for the month. -
I just saw this i think i will beable to do this wait let me revarse that i will do it i know i can and i hope it will work -
Can you be more specific?
what counts as fried food? does that mean just DEEP fried food, or does it include things you prepared yourself on your frying pan?
I want to do this, but i don't know how

This is a great idea but LC what are ya nuts?! ;) (I obv mean that jokingly). March is St. Patrick's day MONTH and giving up alcohol would be like chopping off my right arm. I propose switching march and june. There are no holidays in June.

My new years resolution is to get healthy, and actually stick with it this time. Because of it, I've started doing a series on my blog for Sunday Salads! Check it out for great ideas http://liviasweets.com/tagged/sunday-salad

I started a little late so I didn't do January but no fried foods I'm definitely in for. It hard in a crispy loving family, so just pray for me to stay strong. -
I didn't do January....But I'm starting today! Better late then never! :)
March might be a little difficult....It's my birthday month lol -
Love this!!! Great idea!

No fried foods? I think I will be okay. :) I don't eat a lot of fried foods as it is, but when I get a craving, I usually give in, so we'll see!! Check out my blog! February is all about LOVE and I'll have a weekly post about being heart healthy! http://dreamliveandrepeat.blogspot.com -
I think March will be harder. I have one glass of wine with dinner four nights/week for its benefits. No more than that, ever. How about no more than one glass red wine/day? -

i think i'll be doing this challenge with everyone. it feels easier to cut something out when you can see the light at the end of the tunnel, but a lot of times it sticks with you even after the month is over. i'm all for it!
