Top 5 Foods BANNED from my home ...
Replies

Baked Lays Chips
Pringles
Almost forgot: chocolate chip cookie dough...no cookie has ever been BAKED in my house!!!0 -
I wish I could keep the too tempting foods out of my reach. But what's at home is the least of my worries. Unfortunately, I am a chef and work with all the tastiest, high calorie foods you could imagine, all day long, every day. And what's even worse, having to throw out the leftovers of those foods. Today was High Tea and trying throw out instead of eat the macarons, chocolate tartlets, passionfruit cupcakes, fresh scones with cream, pastries, etc etc, total torture. Not to mention, total fail. I often wonder if I could ever reach my goal without quitting my job :brokenheart:0

love this post!
- chips or other salty foods like peanuts have to stay out of the house
- coke zero is also a bad one, I love it as a treat now and then but if it's at the house I'll drink one every day
anything else I'm ok with, those two are just train wrecks waiting to happen0 -
Lots of things I chose not to eat, but if OH wants it I'm happy for it to be in the house.
'Banned' -
Nut butters, I love them but show no restraint
Chocolate - except 85%+ dark
Crisps (chips for US/Canadians)
Biscuits
Cake
I chose not to eat margarines / Pies / Bread / wheat / amongst other processed foods as I get headaches from them - but OH eats them and that's fine.0 -
I'm pretty good with will power these days but there's still a few things I won't buy because I will eat them all immediately.
1) Chocolate covered pretzels.
2) Homemade/local bakery bread - especially cheese bread, raisin bread or brown bread.
3) Dates.
4) Diet soda - I have no issue with artificial sweeteners, but I just don't keep it because I will drink 3 cans in a row and that much carbonation isn't good for teeth.
5) Cookies. Of any kind. If I make them, I give them away.0 -

my trigger food is cashews (salted or unsalted) so I don't buy them. I have in the past eaten 800g of them in one sitting. Not a great idea :laugh:

That's it really.0 -
1. Tofurky
2. Low-fat cheese
3. Low-fat ice cream

Absolutely nothing is banned in my house, food is good, and I need it to survive, so I might as well eat the stuff I like.
However, I do have weaknesses that I have to be careful of.
Oreo's
Any flavor of Dorito's
Skittles
Captain Morgan
Stag Chili
For those of you who said butter pecan ice cream, I'm sorry, I just had two servings worth on top of my homemade apple crisp, it was fantastic. :bigsmile:
Rigger0 -
Not really anything specifically banned. I do have things I have to be careful with but I don't avoid them at all cost, just use good judgement and pace myself. My main downfall is anything with peanut butter.0
-
- Flavored crackers, like Chik'n'Biskit, Sun Dried Tomato Wheat Thins, Vegetable Thins. I never get full, they just keep going in . . .
- King's Hawaiian bread/rolls.
- Strawberry freezer jam (this is not the same as regular strawberry jam. it is 1000x better.)
- Mint candy, like dutch mints, mini York patties, candy cane Hershey Kisses, you get the idea.
- Taboulli. Totally healthy in 1-2 servings. Not totally healthy in 4-5 servings at one go.0 -
1. Honey/sugar
2. Nut butters/ nuts
3. Flours of any kind
4. Cream
5. Things I find disgusting
Most sweet things I can't eat because of my deplorable habit of wanting to mix sweet foods to create a cookie or cake like dough. It's a habit I formed at home when dad would mix things like craisins, honey and tahini together and grazing on that kind of food all day rather than having proper meals. One thing I used to do was consume a whole bottle of tahini with the same amount of honey in a single day. Dad got annoyed that I ate so much tahini so I made it half a bottle in one day. Dad also bought lots of bread and ice cream. Then when I was living on my own I would have 500 g of butter, 2 cups of sugar and 2 cups of flour in one day almost every week. No wonder I wasn't losing weight!!
I also cannot resist biscuits (esp. mint slices, tim tams, cookies, Petite Ecoliers, Lebkuken and assorted creams), croissants, banana bread, fruit bread, doughnuts, cakes, chocolate, ice cream or caramel. Peanut butter, hazelnut butter and the like are just as bad for me as tahini. I also cannot resist dairy such as cream cheese, cream, yogurt, custard and good quality whole egg mayonnaise.
I also love the taste of fresh or sweet bread and cannot stop eating it even though it gives me terrible gas.
Thankfully I do okay with lollies, pasta and potato chips. I don't have sudden urges to go eat them unlike virtually anything that else that is sweet and/or buttery.
Eggs, noodles, green vegetables and carrots have always been reliable for me.
Anything portioned is ideal for me because I generally feel full after I have consumed what I feel is "enough" or a "full portion" meal. Whereas non-portioned things always seem to be the source of uncontrolled eating. Sometimes it's even worse when I try to portion things out because it means I over-think how many servings there are and get into a binge that way.
Savoury doesn't seem to be such a big problem for me thank god.
I try to avoid getting too many diet drinks because I find I crave actual sugar too much afterwards and need to visit the toilet too often.
I've never had Ben & Jerry's ice-cream because it seems like too many calories. What is the "Phish food" flavour??
Finally, I hate the taste of cottage cheese, vegemite, sardines and vita wheats so I never get those.0 -
Pretty much any large portion of sweet or salty treats. If I bring a bag of potato chips into the house, I'll try to eat just a bowl or something... and then make seven trips back to the kitchen. Ditto for ice cream. And I'm more like to stress eat these things.
However, I'll go get a small bag of Cheetos if the craving hits. (Usually once a week, while walking home from the karaoke bar. >_>;)0 -
1. Cheez-Its
2. Any kind of potato chip, but original Lay's tops the list.
3. Chocolate is not banned, but I don't buy it a whole lot.
4. I have to be careful when it comes to any kind of nuts (cashews, almonds, peanuts, peanut butter), because they add up quickly. It's an issue of willpower that sometimes I control, sometimes I just go over.
5. Anything other than skim milk.0 -
any type of hamburger helper/lipton sides/boxed pastas with flavors
solely carb-y snack bars
lunchmeat that is loaded with crap
non-Greek yogurt
condiments with high sodium/fat0 -
peanut butter and white wine!!!0
-
Haha my kids eat everything before I get the chance! I don't touch the house treats, my problem is poor planning and grabbing a chocolate bar at the shops sometimes when I'm super hungry and my brain says 'quick! Eat sugar!
I don't keep many packaged foods in the house, and cooking from scratch takes time so salad is usually easier. If we want something fast it has to be leftovers ????0 -
I really only try to ban things that are utter garbage with zero nutritional value. A little dark chocolate and/or red wine are welcome in my house. I think having temptations around to resist and/or enjoy in moderation are the key to long term success.
What foods have zero nutritional value?
Op: I don't ban anything, I just use self control. I wouldn't ban anything anyway because I don't live alone.0 -
Right now, the only thing perma-banned is cereal. I have trouble exercising self-control against eating the whole box, and I don't feel like having willpower while relaxing in my own home.0
-
1) Brownies
2) Ice cream
3) Anything Chocolate
4) Candy Bars (Chocolate Bars)
5) Plain chips with Philadelphia Dip0 -

ANY kind of sweet. We can't keep them around because I would literally eat them all in one day. It has to be an occasional, I have to get up and actually GO somewhere to get it if I want it.
This!!! I can have a packet of chips in the cupboard for weeks on end never think about it...as soon as there is any sugar in there it's game over! And I also do the 'if I really want it, I'll get off my butt and go out and get it' routine!0 -
5) Snickers Ice Cream Bars ( or any ice cream for that matter)
What are yours?
I wheep for you and yours. No ice cream. :sad:
Banned? Kale, that's about it.0
