Nonono! Think of the red dress, Raven! You want to wear that red dress!0 -
Been thinking for five minutes or so, and can't actually think of a single thing I've given up! There's lots of stuff that I eat less of, but I still eat it from time to time. So nothing
Everything in moderation.0 -
Soda and fast food. Been soda free for over 2 years now. Just last week I took a sip of my husband's Mt. Dew and it tasted like liquified sugar. yukkkkkkk0

soda haven't had a soda in 3 years
as far as food I haven't but really need to give up some for those who have given up foods friend me. here are some foods I need to give up
Bagels
Cheese
processed foods
empty calorie foods: chips, cookies, sweets etc.
I really need to watch the fat
sour cream, cream cheese watch my salad dressing0 -
I gave up animal products almost 2 years ago and have not looked back0

Eek coffee is the hardest. I LOVE coffee. Luckily Body Revolution allows for 2 cups a day. I take FULL advantage of that0
-
Only the ones that don't taste good.0
-
soda0
-
Haribo jelly babies, gummy bears etc. I just don't stop when I start eating them0
-
potato chips (with a rare exception of baked lays single small bag)
soda pops
most processed foods.
I try not to look at it as giving it up - I look at it as "I don't eat this garbage anymore" because if I think of it as something I CAN'T have, it makes me want it all the more. If it's seen as something I WON'T eat because it's not good to eat that stuff, then it's so much easier to avoid eating it.0 -
Soda.0

I gave up all foods that make me feel bad/guilty/fat after I eat them.
1) Most fast food... sometimes I will have subway if I am stuck in town
2) Restaurant food that does not have exact calorie counts
3) Fried foods
4) Regular syrup0 -
Soda, both regular and diet.

For medical reasons, I've had to completely stop eating soy. Which is incredibly difficult for me, as many of my favorite foods contain soy.
So, no more tofu, soy sauce, teriyaki sauce, tofutti, edemame, soy ice cream, hoisin sauce, miso, soy creamer, etc. Most popular brands of veggie burgers are out. No more Luna bars or Clif bars.
It also means the days of simply picking up a can, bottle or box in the grocery store and throwing it in my shopping basket are over. Now I have to carefully read the labels on each package before I can decide whether or not to buy an item.
It is shocking how many foods contain "hidden" soy in the form of soybean oil, soy lecithin, soy protein, etc. :noway:
Giving up soy has been very challenging, but I'm doing it for the sake of my health.0 -
soda and sweet tea... 21 days so far without either one
0 -
I've given up -
Soda................or anything to drink with a lot of calories and/or sugar.
French fries......................fast food....................................lots of cheese (try to eat lower calorie // fat free cheese now)
Chips................. unless they are Special K, Popped Chips, or veggie chips.0 -
All fast food, Junk food, cakes, desserts, and im working on soda now.0
-
NOTHING...ANYMORE!
I've given up various foods/drinks before, but to be honest, it just wasn't a realistic thing to give it up and "never" have it again. So I would EVENTUALLY fai!
Instead I've taught myself to enjoy my fav foods (french fries, burgers, cakes), and drinks (mainly diet pop/soda), but in (yes here comes the famous word) MODERATION!!!
Now I'm not preaching perfection here because Lord knows I've 'fallen off' miserably and ate crap for too long, but I've gotten back up, stronger!
My opinion is you shouldn't have to 'give up' your favourite foods/drinks, rather LEARN how much is an 'ok' amount and how much is not.0 -
I haven't really given up on anything (other than meat--but that was over a decade ago now!), but I've cut way, way down on soda/pop and dairy. I've tried to give up anything with HFCS, and I've been doing pretty well with that. I'm also trying to cut down on non-whole wheats, but that one's a lot harder!0
-
I found that I never really liked these foods much, so it wasn't that hard to give them up.
Soda
Anything fried
Sweets every once in a while
White bread
Fast food
Chips0 -
I've given up wine and carby snacks, fast food (other than the occasional salad) and most processed/packaged stuff. I don't have much of a sweet tooth, so giving up the candy, cookies etc... was no big deal.0
-
Pretzels
Potato anything
Rice
But added
72%+ dark chocolate0 -
Once heard an old man say
"whiter your bead the sooner your dead"
This was way before 'low carb' was a dietary preference0
