    Technically nothing, but a few things I had eaten in the past that I really have no desire to eat anymore, so I don't.

    Soda
    Pop-tarts
    Fast Food

    1. Carbs (because they are the devil)
    2. Meats (because if I eat them apparently I'm the devil)
    3. Fruit (because of ALL THAT SUGAR)
    4. Fats (because I want to lose it, not eat it)
    5. Water (because, you know, can't have water retention if you don't drink water).

    Did I miss anything?

    For me my 5 are:

    1. Dr. Pepper
    2. These delicious sandwich cookies which are 2 snickerdoodles with gobs of icing in the middle from a bakery close to my work.
    3. Donuts every Friday morning.
    4. Take out for lunch 5 days a week. Cut it down to just once.
    5. Constant snacking.

    Well, I went Paleo! In other words, I've cut out almost everything...lol. No grains, no dairy, nothing processed. In other words.... Everything I've ever loved.

    I have yet to cut out anything completely, going for the moderation thing. I would be more successful to cut out these things but not very happy:

    1. ALCOHOL (Social drinker-not like I have a problem)
    2. Chocolate
    3. Anything fried
    4. Butter (I'm a southern lady and butter is in everything)
    5. Starchy carbs (I LOVE potatoes and bread!!!)

    Honestly, nothing. If I really want something I have it. I just have to want it bad enough to make it myself, and most of the time I can't be bothered. :smile:

    Nothing completely cut out.

    I have stopped eating things that aren't worth the calories. When I wasn't counting calories I'd eat just to eat. If I was eating a piece of cake and it was too dry, I'd still finish it. Now, its just not worth the calories. I'll save my calories for some delicious ice cream or something I know I'll enjoy.

    I haven't cut anything out. I have switched to full fat food instead of the low fat low calorie diet foods. I also drink regular soda on occasion instead of having diet sodas daily.

    My husband and I have made this journey a life style change, not a short-term diet just to lose weight (and regain it in six months!). We started by watching our sodium (to decrease) and our potassium (to increase), which made us realize we weren't making the good food choices that we thought we were making. Now we try to just make better food choices rather than cutting out certain foods all together. My husband and son both love french fries, so we found ones that were lower in sodium and fat, and bake them. Ore Ida crispers have more than triple the fat of the steak fries! This way they get the fries they want, but don't overload on sodium and fat.

    We've learned that it's all about finding substitutes (baking vs. frying, lower sodium, etc.), eating in moderation (so you can still eat the foods you love!), and not telling yourself that you can never have some food, because you'll crave it even more!

    1. Wasting calories on drinks.
    Be it juice or sodas or coffee with sugar and milk. Black Tea or Black Coffee and water are the best!
    I wanna eat my calories and savour them!

    2. Eating useless stuff like a big *kitten* loaf of bread just to eat a little of a delicious curry.
    I substitute with a whole wheat wrap ( Flatout's the best - 90 cals) and then fill with a little more curry :P
    More taste less cals!

    3. Being pressured into eating junk when in social situations.
    Yeah, i'm not going to blow my cals through the roof with half that pizza and a can of coke.
    I'd rather snack on apple slices dipped in peanut butter. Low cal and delicious and filling!

    4. The mentality that you have to stop eating what you love. I have a sweet tooth and have my sweet treat everyday.
    I just set aside about 150-200 cals to savour it instead of blasting through 500 cals worth of ice cream and not even feel that
    I ate some. .

    5. Feeling that i HAVE to make up for the slip-up of one particular day by punishing myself with an hour of hardcore cardio. Its gone. Mark up the calorie excess of that day and gradually work it off over time.


    Those are mine. Great stuff in here! :D

    1. Partially Hydrogenated Oil
    2. High Fructose Corn Syrup

    Anything with either of those two ingredients has been eliminated. Other than that I believe in hitting your macro goals and calorie goals and getting proper nutrition. So long as I get my proper nutrition for the day, nothing is really off limits unless it has PHO or HFCS.

    This reminds me of the quote. "You should live the healthiest life you can enjoy."

    1) red meat cuts (exception of ground beef 1x per month)
    2) cheese except lite laughing cow.
    3) rice (rarely eat it)
    4) pasta/bread (It's not something I've had except maybe every 90 days)
    5) potatoes (w/exception of my monthly Red Robin)

    All my exceptions are because to completely illuminate some foods
    might cause me more inner child tantrums. This way, w/in reason,
    once in a while sure. But I've grown out of the need for most of these.
    I stick pretty much to a routine that has my carbs under 45%.
