What do you avoid and why?
I have seen many avoid milk,red meat, bananas, olive oil, peanut butter and many other things and curious why?

I avoid walnuts - only because I graze on them all day and easily go over my calorie goal. Yum :]
Otherwise if it fits in my macros I eat it!

    Cheesecake. Although I ate one to myself on Thanksgiving and the few days after :drinker: Maybe try to avoid chicken wings because I can eat 5 million of them and barely get full, still like to have them every now and then though.

    I avoid all animal products just because I have chosen to be vegan (I don't judge anyone else's diet!)

    Other than that I only avoid things that come in bags just because I can't keep my filthy little mits out!

    Otherwise - if it fits in my macros it's fair game (and sometimes if it doesn't fit I eat it any way :tongue: ) Clearly it's working for me.

    I avoid asparagus simply because I do not like the taste.

    I avoid the stuff at the Vietnamese restaurant that I'm not sure what part of the animal it came from

    Chicken gizzards and bananas (not necessarily together), because they're both nasty.

    I do avoid soda for the most part too - only because carbonation gives a bloated belly look xD

    I'm just curious why some cut out the things I listed plus bread, white rice, and such?
    Really just curious :] Taste/lifestyle I completely understand. But I see so many forcing themselves to give up things they like and I dont get it D:

    I avoid dairy completely. I can't even eat a little bit of butter, cream, or cheese without terrible consequences. It's probably better that way, I could eat a whole pizza on my own if allowed. I avoid chips and very rarely buy crackers cause I'll eat more than I should. I'll eat just about anything else.

    This is some sort of suffering syndrome people have. I think many genuinely believe they need to feel deprived in order to lose weight....

    Potato Chips- I have no self control D: I could eat a whole bag in one sitting.

    I tried to give up white bread & rice because I was told it was oh so horrible for me. But I love it too much, so I just eat them in moderation.

    I avoid ice cream because once I start eating it, I crave more. For now, I avoid it, but not forever.

    Nada! If I want it, I have it! But I have small portions of it.

    I avoid Reese's peanut butter cups because I can't stop at just one. :noway: Otherwise, there isn't really anything that is off limits for me. I find, though, that I really don't miss crackers & chips so much, so I tend to not eat them. I have more of a sweet tooth, but as long as I have the calories for it, I'll squeeze them in. And I have not sworn off fast food, diet drinks, etc. either. Moderation works for me.

    I don't eat meat, even though I like it.

    I also don't eat eggplant (aubergine), zucchini (courgette), brussels sprouts or egg yolks, because they are all gross.

    I only avoid certain foods due to food intolerances. If I didn't have any, I'd probably eat most anything I wanted if it fit into my daily goal. However, I am a bit leery of diet sodas. I used to LOVE Diet Coke or Pepsi but now because I've been diagnosed with so many intolerances it makes me nervous to drink it. I am obviously paranoid, haha.

    Ha! Never! Bourbon (and tequila too, actually) have no business being anywhere near my mouth. Give me Rum or give me death! :drinker:
