    HA!! Love that whole post PatientBearTiger!!! I would say I don't eat much fast food anymore, but I don't think I've totally given up anything. I'll still have the occasional bit of chocolate, or a french fry, or a small bag of chips... just not every day and in MUCH smaller doses. I have become MUCH more conscious of my sodium intake than I used to be and I avoid foods more now that I see have a high sodium content... or I minimize them, but I don't think there is any one specific food I've given up just because of this site. My goal is to live as normal a life as I can, enjoying all the foods I like, just not as much or as frequently. If I stay under my net goal amount for the day, it doesn't matter what I eat. That said, I don't want to waste calories on foods with little to no nutrition.

    Simple carbs, pretty much. Bread, pasta, potatoes.

    Right now I'm working on giving up processed things (90 calorie bars, etc.) and diet soda!

    High calorie pasties like bear claw , also sometimes I used to have coffee and donuts with co-workers, and easily would eat 2 of them, nowdays I just drink coffee and even not craving those donuts and we go there almost every other day!

    High calorie pasties

    I thought pasties were those things that strippers put on their nipples??? I don't eat those anymore either.

    I've greatly reduced certain foods that I used to eat frequently but I can't think of anything that I have completely given up. Things I used to eat regularly that I have had only a few times since I've adjusted my eating are white rice, flour tortillas, donuts, fast foods, and soda.

    All manner of vending machine snacks. In three bites you've consumed over 300 calories and are out the better part of a dollar. I figured it'd be much healthier to just swallow the money!

    I totally agree, and that is what I cut out too. I use to be one of those people who would grab and snack and a pop out of the machines on my way into work each day, and I don't anymore.
