in Food and Nutrition
So, I decided to fork over a few bucks and have a nutrition expert make some suggestions for me. She started right in on sugars, fats, etc, and had me cutting out foods here and there, gradually.

But when she got to cheese... no way, Jose! I pushed back so hard that she just gave me limits but didn't make me cut it out all together. Hah!

(So just for fun...) What food can you just absolutely, positively not live without?

PS - now that I have cut back, I have noticed my cravings are diminishing a little - weird.

    Diet Coke, I know it's not a Food, but it is also a major addiction.

    I understand how you feel about cheese.. Now, if I use it, like on my turkey patty, I measure exactly the amount of a serving, and also use the 2% cheese versus the full-fat cheese. I've found that what I thoought I couldn't live without I'm not really craving anymore, like bread or pasta! Good luck!

    Bread- I switched to Trader Joe's Organic Flourless Sprouted 7 Grain. I love the chewy texture and I don't miss that white crap I used to call bread or that fake you out wheat bread either. I really crave chocolate at times so I do really dark chocolate which I love anyway. I get a little boost of fiber with it.:bigsmile:

    gotta have my water:drinker: :bigsmile: I'm with lkeszenheimer on this one... if I really crave something that isn't maybe the healthiest, I'll either plan it in or wait until the next day to see if I still want it, most times the excitement is gone and then I realize it was merely an emotional hunger:laugh:

    I don't crave simple carbs much anymore.... but don't TRY and take away my water:angry::wink: :laugh:

    Too subtle for you, Elizabeth??-- Little wonder-- I've always been told I have trouble expressing what I really feel. :wink:
