    Brussels sprouts! Nasty.
    I don't drink regular soda because I never had it as a kid and I think it tastes gross. But I like a little Coke Zero every once in a while.

    No-No foods:

    chicken - because I had a bad experience and associate it to dead bodies now, long story
    turkey - reminds me of chicken
    other meats that taste like chicken - see above
    soda - I've never drank soda because the bubbles hurt my tongue when i was a child. I've tried sips... still can't do it.
    coffee - I'm highly sensitive to caffeine. I had tiramisu once and didn't sleep for 48 hours. true story.
    fruit smoothies - i'm fructose intolerant and a 5 servings of fruit all at once is just overkill

    I dont like eggs and mushrooms, but i'll eat them if they're there ... :grumble:

    Everything else, bring it on!!!! Some things are best in moderation, but you gotta enjoy life a little!

    Here's what I have decided to exclude from my diet:

    - All junk food
    - Pastries
    - White bread
    - Any meat besides fish
    - Sugar
    - Pasta
    - Noodles
    - Juice
    - Soda pop
    - Condiments (ranch, mayo etc.)

    What would you list as foods that you no longer eat?

    You'll lose quite a bit of weight in a short amount of time but after restricting for months you'll start to crack, which leads to bingeing (at least that's what happened to me!)

    None. I will limit certain foods like chips, but I will still eat them.

    I have a problem with binge eating, otherwise I'd eat anything too - there is just no moderation with me for some things.

    - chips
    - fruit snacks
    - chocolates
    - chocolate chip cookies
    - any type of snack cracker
    - macaroni and cheese (can/will down 2 boxes)
    - sugary candies - the corn syrupy stuff

    These are things that I have to avoid for my success! I'm doing pretty well without them, too.

    I try not to drink my calories either. Not because it's particularly bad but because it's too easy to take in a lot of calories when it's in a drink.

    Good point. I do the same exact thing. It's tea (black), coffee (black) or water for me. I'm really, really trying to stop drinking diet soda. I know it's low-to-no calorie, but it's not good for you either. (at work so no sources, just google it if you really want to verify).

    The only foods I exclude from my diet are foods that I don't like.

    Yep This....... :drinker:

    Same here. I do however, skip the packaged/processed stuff.

    The very reason I'm counting calories is because I like all kind of foods including your list, so there's no "no-no foods" for me. Everything with moderation.

    No white rice
    No ...uh... that's about it, and only because I like the taste of brown rice better.

    I don't have any no-no foods, I choose not to label foods. If it fits into my day, I eat it.

    exactly. this is how weight loss happens. if i want a cookie. i eat a damn cookie. Just not 5 and not every day after every meal. Moderation and portion control are the key. Although I don't really drink soda anymore and am Gluten/Dairy free due to health reasons, it doesnt mean I don't indulge every once in a while. It's just important to make sure the majority of your diet is clean. :)

    I never fully eliminate anything. It's likely to crave your fave foods time-to-time. Eat them in moderation or you may binge eventually! Good luck!!

    Fried Butter. Anything else goes. Oh and shrimp which I'm kind of allergic to but I still sometimes eat that.

    i certainly have foods i avoid because i hate them (meat, eggs) and foods i avoid because they trigger me (fresh baked breads, anything peanut butter and chocolate) and foods i don't eat because i don't think they're healthy enough/filling enough to spend the calories on (chips, full fat dairy) and foods that physically make me feel bad (wheat in general) but NOTHING that i would say i completely exclude from my diet.

    i might just have some deep fried sweet and sour chicken for dinner, because it's super yummy and i've wanted some for like a week. i just won't follow it up with a big bowl of ice cream and a snack of sour cream and cheddar cheese chips.

    oh, and i'm from 'merica and i have always thought twinkies and pop-tarts are nasty. so :/

    nothing


    I include all the foods I enjoy in my diet.

    agreed.

    I don't eat mushrooms... because I don't like them.
    And eel- I refuse to eat eel.

    While I was losing weight I didn't have any off limit foods. Now I'm in maintenance and have recently switched to a whole foods, plant based diet. I no longer eat-

    meat, except for a 3-4 ounce local, grass fed steak a couple times a month when we go to the in-laws
    dairy
    eggs
    processed snacks/food/condiments-usually things that have more than 3 or 4 ingredients
    fast food
    'white' bread, rice, pasta etc. Stick with whole grains now
    calorie beverages, except for tomato juice in my green smoothies (a natural blood thinner-to help prevent more blood clots)
    candy, except for a square of 85% dark chocolate a couple times a week

    I enjoy eating the way I do now, and I have no cravings for the things I've cut out :)
