    DONT jump in like that!Its not about cutting out foods. Its a change that you must make in order for it to be sustainable! No diets! CHANGE..and portion control. :)

    Foods you're allergic too. Otherwise, nothing.

    Junk food and soft drinks are no good period. Doesn't matter if you wanna be healthy or not. you can completely cut those out and be missing absolutely nothing, i did. I was a junk food addict and went completely cold turkey subbing in healthy lean options instead, it's not hard to do just takes will power.

    I'm not a fan of energy drinks & ice cream. Give me all your ice cream. Wait and peanut butter, I'll eat that too....if you're tired of chocolates I'll take those as well.

    Anything you don't find appetizing anymore. ;) Or anything you develop an allergy to.

    You should eliminate foods you are allergic to or don't like. Avoiding foods that are past their expiration date is also a good idea.

    Thinking ... reading it backwards ... nope, still does not make sense. If will power was not hard, then no one including the author would be on this site.

    I call dibs on the potato chips.

    I haven't made any foods off limits. But I try to stay within my calorie goal which for me means smaller portions or not as often as I used to eat certain high calorie foods.

    Soda first then all the processed junk and added sugar.

    I know I will attract a lot of flak but here goes. Drop caffeine, "energy" drinks (guarana and the like), sulphites, high salt foods, fructose, trans fats, alcohol. Concentrate on foods with fibre, protein and complex carbohydrates. Record ALL you eat and adjust what you eat for best results.

    Reassess when you get to your desired weight.

    As others have vocalized, nothing. All about moderation and portion control. Telling yourself that you CANNOT have something will make you want it more and you won't be happy.

    I wouldn't say never, but not on a regular basis, or not more than a little, these foods usually don't seem worth the calories

    Edit: I forgot the biggest one of all!

    ALCOHOL
    Lattes, mochas, all that stuff
    Soda
    Juice
    Chocolate Milk
    Deep fried food
    Cookies
    Waffle / Pancakes / Cake / Pie
    Pasta
    Chips
    Crackers
    Doughnuts
    Candy bars
    Candy in general
    Extremely fatty meat (high % fat hamburger, sausage, pork ribs, etc)
    Heavy sauces with cream, butter, or mayo based (dressing also)


    Some things that are better, but similar when craving snacks

    Luigi's Italian ice (90)
    Slow churned low calorie ice cream (220 per cup)
    Honey graham crackers (130 for 2)
    Rice crackers (105 cals for 16)
    Animal crackers (140 for 20)
    Yogurt with sugar free pudding mix (tastes kind of like dessert) (150)
    Fun size candy bars (70-80)

    *sits down with a beer*

    What are we talking about?

    If I've learned anything in the last few weeks it's that you eat what you want. There are things I don't consume out of personal preference, and that's fine. I've not given up beer, doughnuts, Buffalo Wild Wings, pizza, cheese ... nothing. I'm just more aware of how much I'm consuming of everything because of my food logging.

    I gave up a bunch of fast food items. Not because they are bad or evil, but because it turns out I don't like them enough to fit them into my calories. My Sonic shakes and tots have stuck around though.
