I don't know... foods that have gone bad can always give a nice kickstart to a weight loss program.

green pointy peppers are really tasty! bell not so much
it's little bit like spring onion in way? It has it's own taste as spring onion, before growing to a normal onion.
Jalapeños? Yum! Chili peppers? Yum!
I agree about the bell peppers. I don't like green, red, orange or yellow bell peppers. They don't taste any better to me when they turn ripe versus green, IMO.
I don't know what a spring onion is?
@DebSozo . Spring Onion. Do you guys have them in America?
Yeah, we have them. They are typically called green onions or scallions, but I see spring onion too.1 -

I love our language differences. I had to google what the hell an Aubergine was!
We call them Eggplants here
Cantaloupe-Rockmelon
Arugula - Rocket
And I've noticed on the cooking shows, that Americans pronounce Herbs as Erbs.2 -

We definitely do! Herb with the "H" pronounced is what you call Herbert, for short.
Aubergine is some UK thing, we call those eggplants! I knew what it was from other reading, but most Americans might not.
I like rocket as a name for it, but yeah, it's arugula here (and weirdly stereotyped by some politicians as liberal or pretentious or something -- I don't really get that).
Rockmelon was new to me when you used it the other day, kind of like it.
Do you call zucchini "courgette"?

Nope, zucchini is a zucchini. Peppers are capsicums, peppers are chili's.
I've always wanted to start a thread listing all the different names we use for the same things, but i dont know where to put it, I am definitely not venturing into the chitchat section

Ha! Yeah, not a good idea.1 -
Not for everyone. When I used to try to eliminate all those "treat" foods I got hangry and quit. I see that in my friends and coworkers all the time. It was actually extremely helpful for me to learn how to fit stuff like that into my daily calorie goal, only then was I able to stay on plan long term and finally start seeing results. Some people may have to temp cut that stuff out, but for many it just makes life harder.
Yes, we are all different.
We all share our advice and the OP will find something that works for her.
I just get passionate about that. I know too many women who have years of women's magazine articles and Dr. Oz episodes under their belts, and they keep a list in their head of all the yummy foods and drinks they can't have, and all the expensive "healthy" stuff they're supposed to eat. And after a month of struggling they end up inhaling a quart of ice cream and feel like a disgusting failure. And often they decide to settle for being overweight and unhealthy rather than face that challenge again. It was like a religious experience for me when I realized I didn't have to give that stuff up LOL.
But yeah, different strokes
I can't tell you how many times, I would buy a magazine touting some "miracle diet" that I saw while in the check out line. The desperation and faint hope I had, nearly makes me cry just thinking about it. I always hoped that each one would be THE one diet that would work.

I went to Ireland last year and once bought a bag of rocket salad from Tesco. I thought it was just a cool mix. I gagged once I took a bite. Arugula with other food is amazing. By itself-blegh!!

1. don't eat the bloomin onion at the Outback

4. don't eat high sodium foods
5. don't eat a lot of sugar or sweets
Sorry, bolded is a non starter for me. Though I do save it for rare occasions and make sure to do it on a cardio day, with bacon and chili and jalapenos on top!4 -
The UK has:
spring onions, though the shops sometimes sell them as "salad onions", but I've only ever heard people call them spring onions,
aubergines,
cantaloupes,
rocket,
courgettes,
herbs with an h to rhyme with verb,
coriander (not cilantro),
biscuits (not cookies, in general, though there's a subset of biscuits, normally home-baked or from an on-site bakery, that we call cookies),
chocolate bars and sweets or sweeties, rather than candy.0
