    Coffee, dairy products, Halo Top ice cream, 90% dark chocolate, peanut butter, and the occasional cappuccino made with whole milk.

    Pretty much twins!

    Twins - OK to sub heavy cream for whole milk... and maybe a wee spot of Everclear?

    I think I'm coming to the realization that there isn't anything I couldn't give up if necessary....lol. I used to think I could never give up pasta or bread and wow was I wrong about that....

    That being said I still love my coffee and would be real sad to give it up as well.

    And cheese....

    This.

    I have a few, but if I boil it down to one it's my Diet Dew! Everything else is sporadic and controllable, but my daily dew remains.

    Diet Coke! I am trying to cut back but fail a lot? I try to keep the 16.9 oz. bottle size and take a couple sips and then I drink a 8 oz. bottle of water. This works sometimes and does not work sometimes? It is a battle for me.

    You're better off drinking normal coke.
    Seriously.
    So-called 'diet' coke is worse for you than the normal stuff.

    Uh.... beg to differ.
    Diet Pepsi over DC, though.

    All Hail HALO TOP!!! I'm so danged happy I found it since iced milk is seriously not the same. Though I have to be careful since I can still eat it like a you know what.

    I can't give up my peanut butter. I have switched over to natural peanut butter with no added sugars but I know, I know, legumes are bad. *sigh*

    Sugar v. Aspartame, like a great many food choices, is most likely an individual thing.

    Sure, I'd prefer stevia, but gimme aspartame over a sugar bomb any day! (Diabetic speaking.)

    PS. I might be inclined to block health.com. (See the Official Darwin Awards thread...)

    Aspartame makes me physically sick. I cannot abide the flavour, and can detect it where others apparently cannot. Looking at the ingredients, it's there, in small letters....

    I can see why you'd block health.com (having seen the thread you indicate) I was merely indicating there are sources out there.... :)

    Coffee.. I use sugar free creamer but I know that still doesn't really help it.

    Mind you, I don't buy Diet Coke or anything with aspartame, but if it's aspartame or death (or sugar), well.....

    Coffee is life blood (and my appetite suppressant in the morning)
    Cheese/dairy
    Avocados are my heros on days I need an easy portable meal...or hefty snack.
    Peanut butter (in moderation of course)

    My boss buys Zevia to fuel his Coke addiction without the sugar or artificial sweeteners. I haven't tried it, but he swears it's the best. https://zevia.com/

    Coffee, cheese, chocolate (though in serious moderation or fat bombs if I'm really craving it and in a pinch), and sweet n low. Yeah, yeah, artificial sweeteners, I know, I've read it all. It doesn't give me trouble so I'm keeping it.

    I can live with all the things I have given up from the carb world (and found excellent replacements Zoodles for noodles and I even made keto bread (almond flour egg backing powder butter) in a coffee cup in the microwave in 90 seconds!) but if someone said it's a Keto diet or Coffee. Coffee wins! Everything else is up for negotiations.
