    I typically don't have sweet things (because I don't really want them). And I typically don't have baked things (bread, pastry, pizza base) as they don't sit well in my stomach.

    I occasionally have all the above. Sometimes I regret it (heartburn from pizza base that's too thick for example), and sometimes I don't (Christmas Trifle)

    You will rarely see a bean on my plate. Ever. Hummus form - maybe, rarely. I just don’t legume. I just don’t like them.
    ☺️ That means there are more beans for you guys.

    Re my typical diet - I rarely eat anything with sugar. For a treat I might have blackberries or pomegranate here and there- but it’s infrequent.

    Thank you all for your answers they are very insightful.
    I unders

    tand the concept of "there are no forbidden foods" as long as you eat them in moderate. But am I the only one with the weakness of not being able to stop myself from those foods so I prefer to not try them at all?

    I mean for example I've learned that it takes me a few days of complete no sugar food to stop craving sweets in big amounts, these are tough 3-4 days but when they are done I don't crave sugar any more (I can still enjoy a piece of chocolate but it is not the same). Then I can have a bit here in there the so called moderation. But a few of these parties where I "had" to take that extra slice of cake to not offend the host/really good restaurant where you have to try/sharing desert so you take a scoop, in a row and here goes my ability to control my portions out the window.

    Am I doing it wrong with moderation here?

    @whitej1234
    Hey - no you are not alone! I abstain from certain foods as well because I have a hard time portion controlling. That’s why some diets work well for some and not others. Everyone is is different.

    Abstention from certain foods is a valid strategy when one has difficulty exercising moderation.

    @Anvil_Head yep- this! Sadly I can’t just eat a few tostitos - or i want all the tostitos. Sigh
    Bring on the lettuce lol
