For allergy reasons, I had to give up soy-based products and regular dairy due to the growth hormones and antibiotics (can tolerate regular cheeses in small amounts and yogurts).
I gave up regular peanut butter because it kicks in my cravings, something about the hydogenated oil, sugar, and salt as well as the texture. I substitute the natural Krema brand sold at Meijer.0 -

Not so sure if you count it as a food, but I completely gave up soda on April 16th, 2012. I thought it was impossible for me to ever give it up cold turkey, but I took a drink one day, got completely sick (I swear, I think I got a tainted Diet Coke!) and never looked back. I can't even drink carbonated drinks anymore, it hurts my stomach too bad. Nowadays I drink only water, juice or almond milk. Never felt better :-)0

Donuts as they all taste too sweet and doughy now - yuk!
Coffee/mocha/chocolate from the coffee shop with sugar and cream.
I have to walk 10 to 50 mins to get anything we don't have in the house as we don't have a car, so I walk to the Chinese takeaway, the bottle shop, McDonald's, KFC, Subway, supermarkets, etc. and just make sure I burn off st least some of the calories on those days. If I have Chinese I make sure it lasts for 2 meals, similar with fried chicken and Subway.
I have a subscription to a website called Harvest Box and they send me a box with 4 punnets of healthy snacks in them once a week. They are lower in calories than chips, and most are more filling. When I eat chips, I get a salad bowl, place it on the scales, and weigh out one serving. Then I only eat that bowl, whereas before I'd eat the whole big bag for dinner when I had PMS.0 -
I dont eat fast food in general anymore (with the exception of Subway) because its just not worth the calories!
And I don't buy my creamy peter pan peanut butter anymore. This is a matter of self control for me. Every time i go grocery shopping I stop in front of the peanut butter and read the label and think about how many of my calories i can afford to spend on peanut butter and how likely it is that ill stick to a serving size. But in reality, if i bring that delicious creamy goodness into my house, the whole jar will be gone in 2 days. I am learning to practice self control in the grocery store, instead of having to struggle every day when i open up the cupboard and really want just "one spoonful".
The same now goes for Nutella, because last week i bough a little jar and it was gone in 3 days...oops0 -
Plenty, but there are 3 foods I've given up forever:
- Cheese!!!!
- Cakes. Not all types, but I do only eat Nut Cake. (the healthiest)
- Hot dogs!
Giving up cheese was the hardest thing to do in my entire life. It was ...like my drug. I've always been a cheese-addict. But i'm so proud to not have eaten it since June.0 -
fast food, but that was before i joined MFP. it doesn't get along well with my body and i always end up running to the bathroom 10-15 minutes after i eat it. and when there's not a bathroom around, i run to the nearest tree, i kid you not.
other than that- nothing0
