I do love beer though, and I drink too much of it. Even though it fits in my daily calorie goals, I think it is keeping me on this plateau. so it has to go. Going to try to remember the lesson about cheese.

Chocolate (always have Lindt excellence dark choc bars in the fridge for my choc hit)

Bread (will have wholemeal bread or homemade laden-with-fibre bread instead)

Pasta/rice/potato (use brown rice, limit my intake of white pasta and well potato...I'm Irish so HAVE to have potato, just limit the amount I do eat!)

I love chocolate. And biscuits. I don't see any reason to give them up. I think I should be able to have everything in moderation. It's working fine for me so far.

Sweets... Sadly... Every Christmas I always get a tub of Haribo's Golden Bears. They are eaten within a few days lol. I have calmed down on the sweets though. If I am having a craving for something sweet like haribo's. I have a packet of Haribo's Roulettes which have 10 sweets in them, 83kcal I think for all of them and I chew them slowly and try to keep them in my mouth as long as I can.

I had a packet of them a few days ago and they lasted me 30 minutes or so. I had massive urges for sweets last night, because the night before that my family went out to see a musical, they bought several big packets of sweets, luckily I didn't go with them or else I would of been snacking on them all night... They had some left over and I saw them last night in the junk food draw. JELLY BABIES!!! There was like 50g of them in there. I weighed them and was so tempted to eat them. I was strong enough to pull through, put them back in the draw and weighed about 50g of Blueberries instead. Cravings disappeared and staying within my calorie goal

I totally agree. I don't "live without" anything. I think the most important thing is "moderation". You should be able to treat yourself to your favorite things. I have tried in the past to totally take a few things out of my diet. Well, that did not work for me. I work hard in the gym, and if I want to treat myself, I will. It just needs to be in moderation. But- Answer to the question, I could not live without beer, salty chips, popcorn (especially movie theater popcorn with lots of butter) , and cheese. I am not a big fan of chocolate. (I do eat it sometimes, but it is not something I crave)

Tortillas - they are delicious and handy for eating hummus and cheese or eggs... They make a meal better.

and sadly

:drinker: Alcohol... I drink WAY too many calories.... a goal of mine over the next few weeks is to cut it down and out!!!!

I love Pizza! I have even had dreams about pizza. lol. I still fit it in but I eat less of it and make sure I budget my calories accordingly.

Carbs. Since I'm Type-II diabetic, I should be eating very little of them, but I just can't do that. So I try to eat as much of them as possible in the "complex" format, meaning steel-cut oatmeal, brown rice, quinoa, bulgar, and beans (especially lentils and chickpeas). My brother has gone completely hard-core paleo, and admittedly he does look great, having lost about 60 pounds, and he's got lots more energy than I have (I'm always sick and exhausted). But, I simply can't go to that extreme.
