Peanut Butter... I'm not sure what it is about peanut butter but if it's in the house I will find away to eat it until it's gone.... So I'll be like ohhhh pb toast for breakfast pb and banana for a snack pb sandwich for lunch pb and apples for a snack pb on anything for dinner... I've eaten a whole jar in 2-3 days... so now I just don't buy it. I have no control when it comes to Peanut Butter!
I completely feel your pain, PB has to be one of the nicest things out there, could easily sit with a spoon and munch through a jar!0 -
I should also add.
Turkey bacon!?0 -
Trader Joe's Salt & Pepper potato chips
Pizza
Cheese Enchiladas
Quesadillas
Chocolate cake
Can't say no to any of that stuff, and if I start eating it, I'll eat way too much. So, out it stays!0 -
I don't ban anything from my home, but my top foods that I eat too much of when I do eat it:
1. Pasta (I'm Italian.....I love it!)
2. Doritos and Kettle Salt and Vinegar chips (why can't I eat just a few???!!!!!)
3. Crusty bread.........toasted with butter (it's so addicitive, so satisfying.....I can eat a loaf by myself!)
4. Cashews, almonds, pecans. ( I love nuts.....and eating only the reccomended 12 a day is so hard.....I can eat cups of them)
5. chocolate covered almonds0 -
NUTELLA!!!!!!!!
Ice Cream (And I don'T mean Sorbets or stuff... I mean real Ice Cream like Haegen Dasz or Ben & Jerrys)
Cake and everything else made from Dough
Chocolate of every kind
Gummy Bears, Jelly Beans, all this evil stuff0 -
There is a lot that is banned from my home because it's crap and I don't want it around because I won't have either one of us eating it, but as for stuff that is banned because I will eat all of it if it's around... oh yeah there's definitely a solid list!!
1. Lays Limon Potato Chips (and to some extent the Lays Dill Pickle Chips)... the Limons are way too much to resist. I have self control but having these around is too much of a risk.
2. Macadamia nuts. I get them in small doses with the Kind bars, but if I have a bag or a jar around, the whole thing will be gone in one sitting. Almonds and other nuts I can do in small doses and be fine. Just the macs that cause trouble.
3. Chips Ahoy. No explanation needed.
4. Totinos Sausage Party Pizza
5. Tobasco Slim Jims!0 -
1. Bread
2. Rice
3. Corn
4. Potatoes
5. Pasta
We are trying to be low carber's for life & these top 5 just simply will not do...0 -
Lemon cookies- ugh I can't stop eating them!!!
Cool whip- I start of wiith just a tad on a strawberry then it turns into spooning out the carton.
Potato Chips
Blue Bonnet Birthday Cake Ice Cream
Pickles!!! So much sodium!0 -
interesting topic...i am shocked at the number of people that have Nutella and Goldfish on their list. i don't even like either one really. For me it would be,
1. Pop Tarts- i wish they came packaged individually because there is no way i am opening up one and putting the other one back
2. Oreos- especially double Stuff
3. Sugary Cereals, such as Fruity Pebbles and Cap'n Crunch....3/4 c is a serving??? for who? an anorexic 1 year old?
4. Doritos...can so easily eat a bag for dinner or late night snack( i guess i might as well put Fritos and Cheetos here as well)
5. Ben and Jerry's- serving size, 1/2 c???!!!, see #30 -
cherry coke, i know its not food but its my biggest weakness
any snack over 150 calories
processed food
ready meals
tinned food
I have no problem with soda, I loathe all kinds and have never drunk it. I am fine with snacks too, as often my calories are low. Processed food, ready meals and anything canned except tuna and sardines are banned, so is anything made with wheat, grains and soy, including all the oils. I happily eat saturated fat, but other fats are restricted, and corn and vegetable oils are banned.0 -
Doritos
Those sesame bran stick thingys
Cashews
I have really good self control over everything else. I can eat disgusting amount of those things I listed above. I have like no clue why either.. Its makes me super mad though :grumble:0 -
1) Anything with carrageenan (intestinal inflammatory...added to a ridiculous amount of foods)
2) Anything with inulin (I have IBS-D ...don't need the added fiber)
3) Anything with partially hydrogenated fats
4) Wheat products (for me only...my family eats it)
5) Beans and other legumes (I don't do well with these at all). I can occasionally indulge in a little bit of hummus, but that's it.0 -
Before MFP:
Meat
White pasta/rice
Juice (all the calories, none of the fiber!)
Ice Cream
Now, additionally:
Cheez-its

5. Ben and Jerry's- serving size, 1/2 c???!!!, see #3
Fun fact: took the Ben and Jerry's tour recently. The guide told us that the butter content in their ice cream is higher than most ice creams, making it get frostbitten quickly when opened and put back, and that they don't intend for people to eat 1/2 cup, but rather the whole pint. Those *kitten*.0 -
I dont think these days i ban ANYTHING from my house. Instead we just limit it and buy what we want on occasion to enjoy life.
Kids and the man love ice cream - but we only buy it about once a month or on special occasions.
we ALL LOVE potato chips so we only stock baked chips in the house to eat with lunches and what not and then on occasion we get regular chips to splurge.
I even buy cookies sometimes when we want something special and sweet.
I think its all a matter of balance. I have taught myself and my kids that its natural to enjoy foods we shouldnt have and not to limit yourself from anything.
I admire your self-control!
self control is PART OF this whole deal in life..... gotta have it.... after all - its just food. Learn not to let it control you but you control it.0 -

Quaker yogurt granola bars
Hummus (most of the time)
