What diet foods are you never, ever eating again?

Options
I've been thinking a lot lately about the kinds of things I used to eat when I was on weight watchers and thinking, thank God I don't have to eat that stuff anymore!

For me, yogurt and smoothies will always be diet food, and I don't ever want to touch the stuff again. And Lean Cuisine meals? Blech. So glad those days are behind me. Salads, however, I could still eat every day of my life. (although now they're piled with lots more meat, full-fat dressings and cheese, and bacon!)

What are some of the things you never want to look at again as long as you live?

    Anything fat free, vegetables, beans, and stuff like that. Most artificially flavored stuff (although a diet soda sneaks into my diet every so often).

    Anything from Snackwells! Fat free junk food was the worst food craze to come out of the 90's. I convinced myself that gummy worms were good for me and a suitable breakfast choice when I was in college. Oh the choices we make!

    Fat free or fat reduced dairy.

    Soy products. I gave up meat for two years, and used to buy that textured soy protein stuff in place of ground meat...yuck.

    Aspartame sweetened diet drinks. Fake sweet tasting foods.

    Light Miracle Whip. Not only is it too low in fat, it tastes too sweet ! I can't believe I used to like that stuff.

    Also most fruit, especially those high in sugar. How could it be considered healthy to eat more than one serving per day ?

    Funniest thing. One of my friends did ww a couple years ago, she would eat 2-3 cans of peaches a day, she says they were free foods on ww. And couldn't figure out how she wasn't losing weight. It was then that I realized how little many people know about nutrition.

    I won't buy those 90 calorie bars again, or the candy/protein bars or fiber one bars. I do still love diet soda from time to time, I actually miss the aspartame after taste in diet pepsi since they changed it lol

    I agree with the fat free stuff. Way too runny and overly sweet. I will never buy or eat freezer meals again. I am so used to making my own food and always having something in the fridge I'll never buy another prepared freezer meal EVER. I don't see the need!

    Well, I'm not going to never, but I will avoid following things: diet cookies, cakes, anything grainy; diet microwave dinners, fake butter in any form, anything that hangs out in the vegan freezer at the local Whole Foods. Also, chips, popcorn, lots of fruit and granola bars. Fat reduced dairy. Conventional sports drinks. Hmm. Short list. I'll probably think of more things later.
