    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?


    I really don't have any foods that I don't eat. If it fits in my day
    then I eat it. I choose not to have granulated sugars because I
    do not like them. I'm not a pop drinker by nature, but if I feel
    like having one, then I do. It's simple really, everything in moderation.

    nothing. If it fits my plan, I eat it. I haven't been drinking soda for many years though.

    As soon as I tell myself that I can't have it, I want it.

    Even if I told myself I couldn't eat cow tongue, I'd probably want it just a little bit.

    So, ya. No "no-no" foods.

    Cauliflower. I just hate it. It is *not* a good substitute for mashed potatoes, pizza crust, etc. because it's freakin' CAULIFLOWER and it's gross!

    Okay, I've been holding that one in for months. :drinker:

    Yeah I tried a recipe once that was supposed to be a mashed potato substitute with mashed up cauliflower instead. Just NO. NASTY.

    As an aside, I bought my daughter a pop tart from a local store that stocks US candy the other week (they're not commonly available in New Zealand). I had a small bite just to say I'd tried one and frankly I couldn't believe it was even classified as food.!And don't even get me started on twinkies and those cookie dough bite things! :tongue: *hides* :glasses:

    Pop tarts in the US are like little rectangles of delicious heaven. For some reason in other countries they're like cardboard. I often wonder why.

    Butter. I Can't Believe It's Not Butter. Carl's Junior's Double Western Bacon Burger. Pizza.

    On a side note, I've noticed several profile pics on these forums of very thin people. I don't know if people are posting pics of themselves, or pics of thinner people as a form of inspiration. What alarms me is that if a lot of these pics of the posters are themselves, many of you don't need to be doing this program, and you're certainly not overweight. Still, I guess it's good to stick to heart-healthy foods no matter what your weight is.

    the only thing i've been actively cutting down on is soda - but everything else goes

    And this^ I also don't drink soda anymore. Only water, tea and rarely coffee.

    Once I went to a 4 of July fair in Dallas, they were selling fried oreos, fried butter, fried snickers, fried everything...

    That would go to my no-no food.. Because it's just wrong...

    Other than that, everything goes if it fits on my allowance. I tried the no carb diet, worked for some weeks and then I was back to the beginning... I like this method better :)

    Edit to add: Octopus and Calamari are on my list because they-re nasty animals and even more nasty food!

    I don't avoid anything due to being on a diet, but there are foods that I've always tried to avoid in general for years on the basis that I don't think they're particularly good for your health long-term and they are:

    - MSG
    - Corn syrup
    - Margarine
    - Artificial sweeteners, additives and preservatives

    I grew up with a hippy Mother who grew or foraged most of what we ate so I never got into the whole culture of takeaways and processed foods and that's pretty much stuck with me throughout life. I've never eaten a McDonalds...something which I save for those silly 'team day icebreakers' because it makes people blink and start asking if I've ever had a Burger King/Nandos/Taco Bell etc (I haven't)

    I love food! hence I got to the size I did, why would I exclude what I enjoy! I diet to have the body I want to live my life that includes the odd naughty treat!

    all foods in moderation, I have very good days that allow me to treat myself when I really want it

    I LOVE FOOD WHY EXCLUDE IT, JUST LEARN TO EAT THE GOOD STUFF IN MODERATION

    Flaming Hot Cheetos would be my no-no food.

    On that note, I should exclude anything resembling a tortilla chip. I seem to have absolutely zero willpower when it comes to those things. Is there some sort of hypnotherapy or detox camp or something I can attend for that? :tongue:
