soda - and almost anything not home prepped. i'll eat at a sit down resturant but fast food i avoid - which seems really easy to do since i don't seem to crave it the healthier i eat...
soda just makes me feel bloated & heavy...0 -
Diet soda
Anything with artificial sweetner
Most proccessed foods0 -
Orange juice (basically all fruit juices, actually). Wayy too many calories from sugar for something that provided very little except a tasty accompaniment to toast in the morning (and very other time of day...i used to drink SO much juice!)0
-
Anything with wheat in.doctors advice.which means no bread pizza pies and cakes :-((0

Soda and fruit juices. I make crystal light gallons for my family and I instead. It's just sweet enough with none of the guilt.
FIY: Did you know that if you add baking soda and peroxide to a 1/4 bottle of MT. Dew you will have a homemade GLOW stick (or bottle)?
That alone makes me never want to touch that stuff!
Awesome, im going to try that tonight!0 -
A good question!
I don't eat fast food except the occasional trip to Moe's.
I have almost totally cut out bread (and that was hard because I love bread. I used to make bread at home all the time....sadness...). I am cutting down on cokes and I'll do diet once a day or so (I'm from the South - it's ALL COKE to us lol).
No desserts unless it's a special occasion like a birthday.
NO highly processed foods.
No red meat (which has more to do with the inflammation markers than the calories).
I haven't given up alcohol completely but I make sure I have the calorie budget for either a glass of wine or a G&T with diet T.
I do put EVERYTHING into my little calorie counter.0 -
I am with you on the chocolate. I love my chocolate. I allow myself a few hershey kissed, or a few squares of a hersheys bar. I have found that sugar free chocolate pudding helps with the chocolate craving.0

Nothing. I don't want to feel deprived.0

Congratz...HOW DID YOU DO IT?0
-
None!! Although I haven't had a Pop Tart since I started MFP and going to the gym. I think I'm just annoyed that a "serving" is only one Pop Tart. Who eats just one Pop Tart? There are two in the package for a reason. *sigh* :ohwell:0

-
Completely? Nothing.
But my days on a grain-based diet are long gone.0 -
I haven't given up anything completely. I just cut back or eat things in moderation. I'd rather eat what I want in moderation than binge on it later on. I just log my food and stay within or close to the recommended numbers.0

So much that just makes me feel ill now,
Chips
Crisps
Indian food (I used to adore kebabs now they set off my IBS)
Sweeties
Chocolate
Cake
Alcohol I'll have once in a blue moon but I've always been that way.0 -
There are a lot of specifics, but in general: anything I don't deem worthy of their calorie density: candy bars, doughnuts, fried food, etc. I will still eat calorie dense nutritious food, like avocados and nuts.
I just try to make better choices overall. Not for weight loss reasons, but health reasons.0 -
I've sworn off baked goods and most sweets, at least for the time being. I have finally realized I can't control myself with them!0

For me:
French fries
Milk Chocolate
Breaded Chicken
Fries - I just skip them and I eat "healthy" snacks throught the day to not be tempted to order fries
Milk chocolate - I dont buy it and I stopped going into a coworkers office who would always offer me some hersheys
breaded chicken, i just ask my wife to bake instead of bread the chicken0 -
Pizza... to calorie/fat heavy. I want it but it's just not worth it to eat for me now. I think about ALL the other stuff I could have for those calories and can't make myself just eat the pizza! .... and I know if I buy a pizza I will eat it until ALL gone.. nope not going there!
I also buy Palermo's frozen margharita pizzas and add my own veggies. They are meatless and only have about 490 cals for HALF a regular sized pizza! It's kind of high in sodium but enjoy every bite and still get that pizza fix without blowing my cals for the day.
Message me if you'd like my recipe in detail!0 -
Soda, most conventional candy (I do chocolate almonds to get the sweet tooth settled down), the majority of animal products.0
