    French Vanilla non-dairy creamer. I tried to compromise by getting the fat free and sugar free versions but they were not the same. I think I may try and make my own using sweetened condensed milk, almond milk and vanilla extract.

    I haven't compromised anything and I've been doing well. I guess all in moderation and every once in a while.

    Bacon. There is no substitute. Eat it. Enjoy it. Log it.

    Turkey bacon :\ Tried it once. No thank you.

    I don't compromise. I eat and drink what I want. I just won't eat a ton of it. Unless, of course, it's fried ice cream or carrot cake.

    I don't really buy substitutes for anything, we use real butter, real cheese, etc but if I had to pick something I'd be the most pissed about subbing it'd be beer. I don't want light, pee colored beer water.

    Pasta is my favorite food. Not gonna eat whole grain pasta and mess it up. Just not the same. Also I don't drink diet soda of any kind because of the aspartame. I had bad headaches and blurry vision when I drank diet soda because of it. I'd rather have the extra calories and sugar than have aspartame poisoning.

    I don't compromise on "diet" food, period. They never taste right, they're usually loaded with extra sugar, salt, or various chemical cocktails, & all they do is leave me craving the real thing. Life is too short to eat imitation anything, so I just stick with my good friends, Portion Control and Weight Training.

    Cheese - my wedding reception was in a cheese shop, I'm obviously not settling for plastic cheese
    Bacon - turkey bacon is so disappointing
    Beer - even Guinness is a poor substitute for a locally brewed imperial milk stout, and don't you dare try to give me a Bud Light
    Wine - what is this Skinny Girl crap?
    Butter - I mean, margarine's all loaded with trans fat anyway, right? AND it tastes bad.
    Baked goods - please keep your applesauce and black beans away from my kitchen
    Ice cream - I can rant for an hour about how Arctic Zero is the most terrible substance on the planet
    Bread - I'll take the calories in a fresh-baked loaf from the bakery up the street to a bag of 40-calorie-a-slice Nature's Own that's more air than substance every day of the week
    White rice - OK fine, I eat brown rice sometimes, but because it goes with a particular dish better. If I'm eating any kind of Asian cuisine, white rice all the way. I don't get why people think brown rice is better for you anyway...? A smidge more fiber?

    Butter. European if I can get it.

    Yogurt. Get away from me with the low/no fat stuff. And no sugar. Low sugar sometimes works IF it's not replaced with a no cal substitute. Give me a nice Noosa, or Bellwether Farms, or some of the delicious yogurt I had in France.

    Cream cheese.

    Sugar, honey, molasses, etc. Do not try to feed me a 'natural no calorie sweetener' in anything, ever. I find stevia and all derivatives completely disgusting. No artificial sweetener allowed except in my tea and my diet soda. Am relearning this now with some flavored, artificially sweetened quark and greek yogurt - I can eat it, but will be re-buying the plain stuff and adding my own flavors.

    Absolutely nothing. I will only eat/drink something if I like it. As it happens I did prefer diet coke to coke but then I don't really drink fizzy drinks any more so it's a moot point.

    Red wine, peanut butter, chocolate.

    I have changed to darkest chocolate I can eat while still enjoying, like 70%. But if I had to pick a single thing, it'd probably be wine.

    Moderation is key, right?

    I refuse to touch anything diet, low fat, fat free or sugar free. They usually mean chemical *kitten* storm. I'll either just go without or enjoy it in smaller quanties.

    AGREED!!!!!! plus the taste is not nearly as satisfying....i'd rather workout an extra 10-15min over a diet or sugar/fat free anything...

    Me too, you can practically eat anything as long as you are knowledgeable about what your body needs at any particular point in time. You can infrequently go to eat highly caloric ally dense food (up to your daily limit) but it's not a great trade off knowing you can't eat for the rest of the day.

    I don't like soya based 'tastes like meat' just call it soya burger/hotdog or whatever. You aren't fooling anyone. I also question all the added flavoring/salt. If you want soya go for the fermented kinds (to avoid the estrogen ) but I am not sure people will want to incorporate tempt into there diet. never mind the more foreign looking stuff like natto that looks like a alien is hiding in the plate.

    I also don't like low fat anything, what's the point if it tastes like cardboard. Oh right add a sauce.. :/ Fat is a flavor carrier and in moderation sen-sates hunger

    Caloric and macro/micro nutrients are what is important in an appropriate size. Having to be watchful of that all the time has made me look at food differently.

    I used to love chips and used to eat that as a large base of my calories.. Obviously that stopped for the better.

    I had thought cheese a while ago. However grated Romano or any other hard cheese goes really far with a LOT less calories. When I have a cheese craving (often, it's my husband's FAVORITE evening snack) I have 6 "Laughing Cow" cheese cubes. 80 calories. It does the trick.

    And yes.... although I would not consider myself a "beer drinker", I would not do Corona Light or Coronita... give me the real thing (and it's not bad with 128 calories), and I do love a Guiness (it's an excellent source of iron).

    And ashleycde... there's a reason we are RENOWNED for our "Canadian Bacon"... there IS NO substitute!

    Canadian bacon is ham. Not bacon. =)
