I never understood the hate for Brussel sprouts. I always liked them.
Me too! I cook them in the iron skillet with olive oil, salt, pepper, and paprika. They are delish.
chopped, sauteed then cooked in butter with salt pepper and bacon. They tend to be delish that way too (paprika sounds interesting)0 -

I keep them whole (protip: if they are on the large side, cut an X into the stem end so they cook through!) and sautee them in garlic butter or roast them with pancetta.
Brussels Sprouts are DELICIOUS.
Cantaloupe is awful, though. Blech. Evil, nasty stuff.0 -

Love them with pancetta or bacon. Maple glazed. Nom.0 -
I think Chipotle is about as fast food as I get, and I'm not even sure they are really in that category. Other than this, I am not a fast food person, though I find nothing wrong with it. I just don't want it.SherryTeach wrote: »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.

I cut out soda years ago. Such a waist of calories. Same with fast food. In the past 10 years I've probably eaten fast food 3-4 times. So not worth the price and calories.
I cut back on most purchased prepared foods many years ago. I still have a weakness for chips, chocolate, beer and wine. Periodically I have to reevaluate how much I'm eating/drinking and scale it back. That's what I'm doing now.
That, and trying to learn to cook with less fat.0 -

OMG, yes! I went to Mexico once and bought what I thought was an orange popsicle. It was cantaloupe flavored.
Gross! Why would someone do that? LOL

LOL, I love cantaloupe, but I would absolutely despise a popsicle that tasted like one... But then again, I'm not big on popsicles because of my tonsillectomy last year, and the doctor said "eat cold foods, it will help"... I ate like 5 boxes of them in two weeks, and I can tell you it didn't help the pain one bit, but it was the only thing I could eat... I don't think I will ever eat one again
It's a shame, I used to love them when I was a kid!
I've cut out soda(and chips) over the past month and a half... I think that's a HUGE reason I'm losing a lot of weight(I used to probably drink a 2liter a day...) It's actually really disgusting to think about!!! Much more loving my black coffee, tea, and my water! Much more energy these days!0 -

Eliminating food really boils down to choice. I've easily cut soda, frozen meals and chips, because they're not worth it to me, and I do not miss them.0

I cut my portions and my seconds. I go out to restaurants less often. I had my stomach surgically altered. Lost ninety pounds so far.
Tried for the first time in the past twenty months: Kohlrabi, Okra, Shitaake, Nori, Tiger Nut, Whey protein, refrigerator oatmeal, and steel cut oats.
From your list:- I still have diet soda weekly
- Limit trans fats
- Eat regular pasta weekly
- Fry foods, though I bake more often. With cheese, but maybe half the cheese
- Generally low fat dairy though I have unsalted butter for cooking
- White flour, still in the cupboard for baking. My breadmaker Challah this weekend called for five egg yolks, white sugar, and white flour
