    I haven't given anything up. I make better overall nutritional decisions...I moderate my intake...I get my fitness on...and I indulge in whatever I like after that.

    The only thing I have given up is sodas. I didn't have to, I just wanted to. As soon as I did that I knew I could do anything!

    Creamy Jif Peanut Butter. Don't even try to take it away. I know over 400 ways to kill a man with a jar of Jif.

    Beer.

    Have you tried the Natural Creamy Jif? I think its much better than the regular Creamy Jif.

    I haven't really given up anything, unless you count takeaways. But that's not because of my calorie allowance, that's because now, my stomach doesn't react too kindly to fried, fatty food, and I get punished the next day.

    I really haven't given anything up. I've switched a few things. I bought Nature's Promise Oat bran pretzel sticks instead of regular pretzel sticks. I've added the Naked juices into my diet. I don't drink soda as much, but there isn't anything I won't eat. I am just practicing portion control. I can say I definitely have added more kinds of foods. I tried scallops for the first time the other day. Delicious!

    If you read the nutrition labels, they are almost identical. Now the price tag, that's a different story.

    I've had to give up trigger foods until I don't crave them anymore. The afternoon energy dip causes me to crave carbs. Before my diet I would eat chips or cookies. Then I moved onto pretzels and tried cutting back on it but it didn't work. Then I tried eating more lean protein for lunch and that helped. Now when afternoon cravings hit, I can eat baby carrots or raw crispy apples or chew on sugarless gum to get through the urging. I can now eat a few pretzels and not the whole bag as long as it isn't in the afternoon at work in front of a computer monitor.

    Moderation > Giving up delicious french fries.

    I maybe eat them one a month, but I still eat them. Other than that I haven't given up anything. My body naturally craves whole foods and meats so I don't really eat a ton of junk.

    I will say I've given up soda, but have replaced it with Perrier. All the bubbles and fizz and no calories thank you :heart:

    I had to cut down on carbs because of pre-diabetes. But I haven't given them up!

    And I'm never ever ever giving up beer :drinker:

    I'm working on the basis of not having to give anything up, unless I'm persuaded that it's actively bad for me. Everything else is fair game in moderation, as long as I have the calories to accommodate it. But one of the consequences of all this exercise is that I often say to myself that I've worked too hard today to blow it on, say, a few beers.

    Since starting, I have realized I can fit almost anything to within my calories, but try to maintain my daily carbs to about 80 to 100. Within that, I eat whatever I want, trying to be faithful to my macros 95% of the time.

    Ice cream, pizza...... and a lot of other things. I just eat less of it. Well, that is not always true, sometimes I eat something really low cal for dinner, like eggs, so I have room for a huge bowl of ice cream.

    Peanut Butter; however I have switched to PB2!

    I DO have to stay, far away from Nutella. As somebody said on MFP "that stuff is crack in a jar"...
