I haven't eliminated any foods, but I have added some to my intake and am constantly switching it up. I pretty much eat anything and everything

Do not...erase...the cheese!
I like low fat dairy (for cottage cheese or yogurt--low fat cheese is not something I approve of), but I also do better when I include a reasonable amount of fat. (I just usually get plenty and like to use dairy as a protein source. I fully understand preferring full fat, as that's how I feel about egg whites.)
I thought I preferred low-fat cottage cheese. Then I realized I needed more fat in my diet and tried the 4%. The heavens opened up and angels sang. I used to eat a cup of cottage cheese at a time and now I only eat 3/4 (since I'm a veggie, I had a larger serving than the recommended 1/2 cup). Totally worth the smaller portion size. The calories work out the same, and it's more satisfying with less volume.
As for yogurt, like you, I eat the Fage 2%.

In the beginning, I had to have a moderate carb intake, so I cut out bagels. I just never reintroduced them. I should. I miss them.0

Until this morning, I hadn't had a bagel in so long. Unfortunately it'll be the last time since my blood sugar dropped to 45 not even an hour after finishing breakfast *sigh*0 -

I love them. I wonder if many people who hate them have only ever had them frozen? My husband thought he hated them too until I made fresh ones. Now he's a convert.

Me too! I cook them in the iron skillet with olive oil, salt, pepper, and paprika. They are delish.0 -
Nothing. I just cut down on some of the higher calorie foods and now eat smaller portions.0

I've only ever had fresh...but i still can't stomach them. I just find them bitter most of the time. Now everyone saying that beets taste like dirt, I'm wondering if they only ever had canned, because fresh beets are so sweet. I love them.0 -
I don't cut out foods unless I already didn't like them

I tend to cut foods that I don't like, and eat more foods that I do like.
Today, for example, I spent a couple of hours making homemade fresh pasta imbued with basil, and then topped it with chicken, fresh tomatoes, bacon, garlic and red pepper (I forgot to pick up more spinach or that would have gone in too.) I sprinkled this with shredded parmesan and gave it a light drizzle of good balsamic. It was magical. And with an almond snack, I'm just over 1400 cals for the day, which means I need another snack before bed. Probably ice cream.0 -

Nope. Have had them fresh, frozen, made every which way. My friend had what she considered THE recipe for them. She made it for me. Still gross.

There's not really a need to cut out anything you enjoy. Just be reasonable about portions, and learn how to work them into your day.0

The only thing I've really cut is Nutella, because it's crack in a jar, and soda, because I can't and don't want to justify the waste of calories. The rest is fair game in moderation. 0

They taste like miniature cabbages, which I also hate. It's not a matter of freshness, it's a matter of being gross. But I love most veggies, so it's only fair to leave some for other people.0 -
I haven't cut out anything unless I don't like it. Though I am proud that I haven't eaten fast food in three years. That is mostly about disliking the politics of the fast food industry and choosing to use my calories other places. If I want a hamburger, I go to a real restaurant or make it at home.0

I know people that had only eaten boiled ones that were cooked to mush.
I made them my way....fresh split in half cooked in olive oil with garlic, crimini mushrooms and sun dried tomatoes and of course a little salt and pepper. So good. They liked them after that.

Just the idea of drinking a large cup of sugar water seems so wrong, even if it does fit my macros. But it tastes soooooo good.
I didn't go cold turkey on sweet tea. I started only drinking it when we went out to eat. Then I started getting half sweet, half unsweet. Now I only occasionally get sweet tea and then if I can fix it self it's more like a quarter sweet three quarters unsweet. I still don't like straight unsweet.0 -

oooh you like to layer flavors like I do....I HATE when I create "something magical" and my dear husband comes in and says simply..."you are gonna eat that"....Im like "shoo" don't even start. The Navy killed his taste buds years ago...0 -

I kinda cut out bagels. I mean...I'll eat like one a month. It's mostly because they leave me really hungry still and I don't have room to eat them as a bacon, egg, and cheese sandwich anymore.0 -

I grew up next to a farm that grew Brussels sprouts, once harvested they let the plants rot in the field then tilled them under. 20 years later I still recall that horrid smell everytime I see them and it makes me gag.

Soda seems to be a big one for a lot of people in this thread... Always hated that stuff! Can anyone relate?
I never drank it regularly. Maybe a little more so when I was a teenager. I'm not too keen on foods that make my eyes water and cause me to belch uncontrollably.

I don't like beets either. I have a friend who loves them. She'd say, "Oh, but they're so delicious. They taste like dirt!"
Really? That's your recommendation. They taste like dirt.
No thanks...I'll pass!
LOL!! They DO taste like dirt!
I occasionally eat them in salads (you know, with other things that grew OUT of the dirt). 0 -

This is true for me as well. So I don't keep sweets and chips around very often, although I will say that I did buy Girl Scout cookies in a weak moment. I haven't had any but the rest of the family has chowed down on them.0 -

That is making me really hungry.0 -
Oregonian still has the floor...hahaha...Was curious. I am deleting 7 foods from my intake. They are; soda, trans fats, regular pasta, fried foods, high fat dairy, white flour and added white sugar. How about everyone else....what have you decided to elliminate?
Only that which I am allergic or intolerant to, or that I don't like. Food groups have zilch to do with weight loss. I choose to eat all foods in moderation.
Totally agree.0 -

This, plus asparagus.
These are 2 of my favorite veggies!
Cheese-its and marshmallows. These are my trigger foods. I will eat the entire container. Someday I hope to get them back in, but for now...sigh...0
