    I wouldn't take any of them out. Everything in moderation for the most part is ok.

    If I had to give something up to succeed it would be alcohol. :(.

    I could give up dairy. I am almost dairy free anyway, one of my kids is lactose intolerant, so we already do soy milk, soy yogurt (him), coconut milk ice cream--it wouldn't be that much of a change from what I already do.

    I would give up fruit. Since I'm allergic to most fruits anyway, no problem.

    Grains. The good ones are an acquired taste...one I haven't really acquired yet.

    Dairy. I get almost none anyway, because if don't like it.

    I'll give up fruit the day I die. :D

    Grains. They make me retain water. So....I rarely if ever eat them.

    Fruits. I have never cared for them for the most part.

    Grains - and this is coming from someone who likes most whole grains.

    I would also say dairy, but I like cheese too much ;)

    Fruit. I just don't like it. Too sweet.

    Other than having an intolerance or allergy, what's the point of eliminating a food group?
    That said I have reduced my grain & dairy intake over the last couple years but I would never eliminate either one. I'm not a big bread/pasta person but enjoy rice, quinoa & oats. I have the rare glass of milk but love cheese & Greek yogurt.

    I'm not sure about the point of the question.

    If a gun was held to my head, I'd eliminate dairy as it would be the easiest to substitute macro-wise. Also, I don't eat that much dairy anyway. A glass of milk a day. Cheese a few times a week. Sometimes I go weeks without eating yogurt. Butter would be the biggest deal there.

    None of them.

    Jesus what a miserable life it would be. Plus you've got food types and a macro mixed into the same list. Good luck living without protein...

    Dairy. You don't NEED it at all. Last time I looked I was not a cow. Dairy is ok if you are a cow, but I'm not.

    I am also not into the killing of animals for our own selfish needs & dairy is one of those. People who have dairy are advocating murder & abuse.

    You can get protein from other things than dairy. What a silly thing to say.

    I would give up dairy as it is not an essential protein source.
