Do you have any "banned" foods that you won't allow in your diet?
Replies

Sure do the foods I don't care for like celery I dislike the texture1
-
Absolutely. Because I have learned from my mistakes. Some items I will allow only if I am not craving them. That is when I am more likely to over indulge.1

Shellfish. Due to anaphylaxis.
Chester Cheetos puffcorn. Literally the only food I cannot control eating. Can eat an entire large bag at once.
And homemade alfredo is amazing! All that yummy cheese, butter, and heavy cream. I need to make this this week.1 -
Spoiled and rotten. Oh and liver.

Oreos. Only because I can't stop at the recommended 3-cookie serving suggestion. I eat entire rows in a single sitting. And if there's ice cream in the house at the same time as Oreos--milkshakes are made and bad choices ensue. Best to just not even buy them. "Know thyself", as the Greeks say!5

The only thing I know is banned is coconut. My wife pukes at the smell of it so I don't have any in the house. I'm sad.1
-
Water chestnuts. So gross.1
-
Anything I have banned is because of a financial diet.3
-
Pie...pecan pie, apple pie, cherry pie, banana cream pie, blueberry pie. I have no self control with pie. My husband bakes them and I will eat them til they're gone.3

Lord some of you having me laughing so hard that I am in tears!!!! Creamed corn and pudding skin? Peas with pearl onions? Worse than dog vomit? I can't!!!!2

I eat fettuccine alfredo on a regular basis in various versions-Fazoli's has a chicken fettuccine dish with broccoli and mushrooms that comes in at around 500 calories and I get that 2-3 times a month. On the other side of the calorie spectrum is the bacon and chicken tender cheddar mac I got from a local restaurant tonight that was topped with bread crumbs and honey sirachi sauce. Pretty sure it had around a million calories in it and it was worth every one
The only thing I've totally cut out is regular soda and I now drink diet. Otherwise everything else is fair game!3 -

I agree with avoiding pop tarts for breakfast. I love them but it's just like having dessert for breakfast. I usually go for something that has protein in it.

Have you tried roasting them? So good.
I haven't technically banned anything. If I want something enough I make it work. But.... Often calorie dense stuff just doesn't seem worth it so I pick other things.
Hmmmm...roasted Brussel sprouts. Nope, still vomit inducing.1 -
Technically I haven't banned any foods, yet there are some foods I don't think are worth the calories anymore. Like I used to eat normal donuts but now I won't eat just any donut, I want an amazing delicious donut that's worth the calories if I'm gonna eat it.5

Agreed.
I remember my dad cooking them when I was a kid. I honestly thought the sewer had backed up.1 -
Peanut butter. I haven't banned it but I don't keep it in the house at all because next thing I know I will have eaten half the jar with a spoon.
It used to be in my banned list too (except on a backpacking trip). Now I buy the singles- I can control myself on those (way easier to visibly see if I am going over 130 calories of peanut butter).

I took a break from baked goods and chocolate my first month because I had developed some bad portion control habits surrounding those foods. I started eating them again and have some self control. Yay!
The only food I don't eat is canned tuna, because my husband thinks I'll get mercury poisoning. I make him buy me fancy Bar Harbor sardines instead, so I'm just fine with that.
I also don't eat green bell peppers because they are gross. I mean who eats unripe vegetables?1 -
I cannot be trusted with full-fat cheese. That's all I'll say.4
-
Peanuts. They make my tongue swell up and my lips and hands balloon out and my lungs stop working right.
Other than that, absolutely not.0 -
I live in Nigeria. My banned food list is things like dog, rat, or monkey meat. I also don't care for termites and grasshoppers. In the south of Nigeria, they serve up big fat grubs, and that's gonna be a no for me as well. I've eaten cow skin many times (similar to water chestnuts!), porcupine, antelope. I'm pretty game for trying new things. But NEVER dog.

definitely pasta. It makes me feel really bloated and just way too full because I always eat too much of it (with a huge amount of cheese on top of course)

I haven't banned any foods per se, although there are some that I prefer not to eat anymore as they use up too many of my daily calories. Examples are alcohol, pasta, rice.
Some foods I eat occasionally, for example ice-cream and cheese.
Some foods I cannot eat as they are contra-indicated with a medication I take (caffeine and alcohol, although I'd given up alcohol 15 months before starting the drug) so I don't eat chocolate any more, nor do I drink coffee and caffeinated tea.
Other than that, anything's allowed as long as it fits into my calories.0 -
I'm seeing a lot of veggie hating. Eat those beets and that broccoli! We had pan fried cabbage fritters tonight with a little cabbage out of our garden. They were incredible. Veggies are the best way to mop up those nasty free radicals we all take in every day. I also have said no to refined sugars. They seem addictive to me.1

Most store bought baked goods aren't worth the calories, but I will happily eat the tastier home made versions.
Can't stand peanuts/peanut butter, so that's out. Also, celery and offal.
My digestive system can't handle greasy foods or most full fat dairy - and I always cut the fat off my meat. Suffice it to say, HFLC is not in my future. I would be living in the bathroom.

In my diet? No. In my apartment? Yes. Basically I don't have any calorie dense hyper palatable foods around.4
-
I usually draw the line at deep fried butter. Honestly its more about the calories of the said food for me. I wouldn't just eat up a small portion of 1500 calories, just because I wanna say I can eat anything. I prefer a hearty portion of a healthier meal personally.3
