Okay, I admit it. This was spurred by another question on this thread about foods that you dont like. A few people answered Fried Chicken. (as you can see, its capitalized to signify its importance in MY life-lol) I cannot understand that. Fried Chicken wings are like a drug to me. I cant even LOOK at them, or I may wake up with grease on my face and bones across my chest wondering what happened!!

Whats your vice? What do avoid, even though you love it so?

    Spaghetti. I LOVE pasta. I just can't do the carbs anymore-- and I'm sure most of it's mental, because I'm not really on a low-carb diet, I just try to minimize what I can.

    Up until 4 months ago it was pizza, but I've learned to deal with it. Ice cream would be the food I currently avoid!

    Before last week I would have said peanut sauce on anything. But I got some PB2 and developed an amazing thai peanut sauce recipe that totally satisfies my cravings at 45cal for 1/4 cup of sauce! Of course, I can't put it on pasta or rice like I used to, I put it on tofu noodles. Or dip whole wheat crackers in it. Or just my fingers!

    Chocolate! It doesn't matter if it's 80% cocao. One hit of it and I'm through.

    Wine. I used to go wine tasting and buy it all the time. Now I allow myself one glass a week. Not worth drinking all those calories!

    Try spaghetti squash. You can cook a half of one face down in a microwave-safe pan for about 7 minutes. Cover with plastic wrap and leave a vent for steam. Makes a great healthy substitute!

    For me it's anything with lots of sugar. Ice cream, oatmeal raisin cookies, dried fruit, candy, etc. I just have to stay away from it all. It's a terrible addiction (sugar activates the same "reward" receptors in our brains that heroin and opium do). No wonder carbs are so addictive.

    #1 - Bread, bread, bread, bread, BREAD! (not sliced sandwich bread, but really good french/sourdough)

    Followed by (in no particular order):
    French Fries
    Tortilla Chips
    Hot Cheetos

    Oh - and although (as you can likely tell) I don't have much of a sweet tooth - Cadbury Crunchie bars! (Thankfully they're not readily available in the US...)
