Which food(s) have you given up completely?
Replies
-
If it has no nutritional value, I don't eat it.0
-
meat, fish, cheese, anything pre-package, snack cakes, store bought sweets, candy, white bread, ice cream, and probably some other stuff I have forgotten... haha, it's a pretty long list. Oh, and fried foods. And anything from a fast food chain. :P0
-
I haven't given up anything completely. There are things I eat very rarely now, but there's nothing I ate before that I would refuse to eat now.0
-
I very rarely eat cheese anymore!
And dont use oil to cook anymore.
Also dont eat much bread, I do miss a good slice of marmite on toast!0 -
Nothing.
There are things I haven't had in ages (cold cereal, box meals, etc.), but never say never.0 -
Alcohol0
-
Reese's peanut butter cups
Fried food (really difficult one during fair season!)
^^ This and alcohol and anything w/ gluten in it (doctor's orders). So basically I drink water and eat dirt.0 -
I gave up peanut butter and eating after dinner. The peanut butter I had to give up because I was eating WAY too much of it and it was really affecting my cholesterol. Eating after dinner I gave up because I'd just eat crap in the evenings and that needed to stop.0
-
The main thing I've given up is soda, breads, and anything like cookies, chips and candy. I'm still working on alcohol though...I'm down to maybe 1 day a week...which is a huge milestone for me!! :happy: :happy: :happy:0
-
I drink a lot less wine, and eat a lot less fast food, but I haven't really given up anything.0
-
Ive gave up DAIRY because it acidifies our body
I gave up RED meat
I do still eat a clean peice of fish once and a while and eggs for the protein biotin benefit
I attain most my nutrients through tons of fruits, veggies, almonds, beans, (some soy) shakeology, and also a brown rice vegan protein shake
and Ive never felt better!0 -
Nothing. I actually eat an even larger variety of foods than I ever did before and still enjoy everything that I did prior to joining MFp as well.0
-
Mostly, I've given up fast food, chips, candy and bread. While I may have these things once in a blue moon, I don't make them part of my daily routine. Giving up fast food was the easiest and I feel so much better not eating that garbage anymore!0

Fried food
Chips
And I've cut back a TON on soda
That's one thing I will never be able to cut out completely.0 -
Pasta, chips, soda, sweets It's a lot but this is the first time in 25 years that I have lost more than 20 pounds. Usually I lose 20 and regain 25. I cannot control my portions of pasta and chips. If I eat a little, I crave even more. Also I gave up most sweets, even the low cal ones. Once I got past the first 3 weeks I stopped craving them. I did have 1/2 cupcake at my daughter's shower last weekend and that was enough. I do like ice cream so every 10 pounds I treat myself to a low cal frozen yogurt. Once I gave up the sweets I was amazed at how my taste buds changed. I enjoy many different herbs and spices now and I think my food tastes better, less dull.0
-
Pizza, I haven't had it in a while. If it's offered in a social situation, I'll eat it, but I never buy it anymore.0
-
Nothing. It's just more about cutting back on volume as required.0
-
Nothing for me, either. I'm just cutting down on portion size.
But, I can't keep ice cream in the house. It's the one thing I just can't resist if it's sitting in my freezer!0 -
I have not given up any food completely. I'd be miserable if I told myself I could never eat something that I love.0
-
Several:
Energy Drinks, which has been a very difficult thing to do, BUT I have accomplished it for the last 2 weeks.
No fried foods. Not so hard to do since I tried not to eat it much anyways.
No Sodas
No Beer
No Cigarettes, and this by far has been the worse thing to give up. I can totally see a positive difference in my endurance and breathing, but it has been one tough ride!
All of these things at one time, whew! It's worth it though!0 -
All fried food and junk food (candy, chocolate, cookies & ice cream)0
-
none...everything in moderation0
-
I make tortilla pizza with low fat cheese, but I gave up frozen pizza
No more pop, but that was almost happening amyways
I gave up my coffee creamer, this was my hardest! No more French Vanilla Coffeemates for me. Now i use the 30 calorie almond milk
(just a splash of that) an some sugar free coffee flavoring syrup.
I choose healthier option chips like low fat bluecorn with flax and tons and tons of salsa
I now do an egg white scramble, no more egg yolks.
I use allfruit spread as opposed to regular jams/jellies
I quit the granola bars too. There was way more calories than I could justify in those babies
I no longer will have my chinese food once a month or so
I quit smoking last october!
Also, I had 1 premade iced coffee and loved it. Then saw the trans fats on the label and promtly swore off them too.0 -
Nothing, just everything in moderation. And by moderation, I mean hardly ever...but I don't have it in my mind that I can NO LONGER enjoy my favorite foods. I love food too much to eliminate things entirely. I either find a healthier way to enjoy or just have it in smaller amounts and less frequency.0
-
pizza not made by me. I just haven't had any yet, but I may have a slice some day soon. I
just over ate when I had pizza so it was just easier to give it up for awhile.0 -
Only fried chicken strips. and ONLY cuz I can't eat those (with gravy) in moderation...0
-
NONE! I just choose not to eat them often. Once in a blue moon! That's the key! There is no need to completely eliminate ANY food. There are places I choose not to eat at anymore.. like Olive Garden.. and if I do I just stick to salad and soup... I used to LOVE their Alfredo until I learned how many calories it has! But that's not to say I'll never eat it again!0
-
Because of food allergies tons of them,the top ones are:
Corn, potatoes, soy, rice, gluten, all legumes and several others, for the most part it has helped me find the motivation to make the lifestyle changes that I needed to in order to lose weight0 -

Edit: I don't eat anything from the gas station anymore. So I did give up cheap treats. If I must have chocolate or sweets...it will be REAL. And worth every.single.calorie!0 -

I totally agree with you!! I am eating healthier, so I deserve treats! I eat things that I have always eaten, just less often and in smaller portions. You can not stay on a program and deprive yourself! Everything in moderation.
