So, what foods do you hardly ever eat anymore?

I went out with a friend yesterday and ordered the usual pub food - vegeburger, chips (fries) and salad. Normally this would be a nice treat for me and I had been looking forward to eating it.
I could barely eat it - although the burger bread was nice I found it really hard to eat such a starchy, heavy carb, along with the chips. I looked at the plate when it arrived and was astonished at how much food was there. I ate some of it, more out of politeness because my friend was eating and I did not want to fuss, but I found it hard. I know I will not be ordering that again, for a loooooooong time, if at all.
So what foods hardly eat now. Mine are as follows:-
Pasta - just can't eat it now! Too stodgy
Bread
Potatoes - same reasons as above
Cakes, chocolate, biscuits - tastes way to sweet now
Rice cakes - like eating cardboard
Rice - a small amount occasionally
Couscous
Noodles
Wine
All the above are things that I don't eat every day, but might eat if I were at a restaurant, or maybe once a week. However when I do eat them, I kind of wish I hadn't because I feel too full and stuffed afterwards! Bearing in mind I am also a vegan, I guess I would be your nightmare dinner guest :laugh:

I used to love to order Chinese food when they ordered it at work. After starting to eat right I found when I ate it I was thristy all day and felt like my fingers were sausages the next day...won't be doing that again.0

Candy and ice cream - it's strange, but I have absolutely no taste it. My kids joke about how they've never seen me eat a candy bar.0

I am starting on a health/weight loss program that promotes very clean eating, though is not vegan or even vegetarian. Since I have been eating such clean food, I can't fathom eating pasta or french fries. Though I'll probably always love bread, it doesn't have a place in my current diet, except as a treat. I think this may be the end of my love affair with coffee as well. I feel too good without it, and live a very stressful life anyway, which the coffee was probably just exacerbating.0

Pineapple Chobani Greek Yogurt used to be a mainstay for me but it's too sweet to me now. Peanut Butter Cups, chinese food, pasta, fries or really any fast food. I don't even want to eat this stuff in moderation I just simply have zero appetite for it.0
-
Pizza just doesn't do it for me aymore. Don't miss cakes, donuts, cupcakes.0
-
Pasta! It just doesn't even sound good anymore and I used to LOVE it0
-
Fried foods, soda, gravy, breaded foods, high fat or sugar foods, & i've cut back alot on my red meat, pizza, couscous.0
-
ice cream and pasta (made from wheat)0
-
I continually pass up pasta....
I've really upped my protein intake and veggies, too.
It's because I am aware of my actual protein needs now, and that excess carbs tend to make me retain water, which makes my fat fluffy lol!0 -
Pasta. We used to eat it all the time, now we have sweet potatoes or brown rice. I still think I like it but when it comes down to fixing a meal I choose something else instead.0
-
Soda, alcohol, beer and any sugary beverages that have no added nutritions.
I still loves bread, rice and lotsa fruits but I moderate it especially fruits :P~ it is my treats0 -
I try to stay away from fast food, sugary treats, and soda. I will allow myself a diet soda every now and again, and if I feel I NEED something sweet a Diet A&W Root Beer always curbs that and has no caffeine.
I am a convenience dieter, and I see lots of people shying away from processed foods like frozen dinners and such, but for me they are a God send because if it isn't easy I won't stick to it.0 -
I don't really eat pasta, pizza, cake, biscuits, bread, cheese....
Not because I think I would find them too sweet, or filling or starchy, but because if I started I'd never stop again! I allow myself a little treat most days, usually something with chocolate, like 100 cals worth of Maltesers with a coffee.
Wish I could stop wanting the other stauff, but after all these years I doubt it.

Used to LOVE chocolate, now I don't care for it. Same with cake. I can actually be satisfied with one bite & then don't want anymore.0

I can't stand milk. I rarely eat pasta, bread or rice. I've been trying not to eat much in the way of fresh fruit either, it makes me have cravings for sweets. I used to eat alot of fruit, way more fruit than veggies. Been working on eating more of them.0

Bread, pasta, cheese, peanut butter and skim milk are all things I only eat in small amounts on occasion. I miss them all quite a bit but the calories are just too much. I do eat Aunt Millie's Healthy Choice Wheat Bread but at 40 calories per slice it almost tastes like cardboard LOL. I have replaced pasta with things like spaghetti squash but I do miss a good baked spaghetti once in awhile. Peanut butter is something I've added back in a couple times lately simply because I just miss it so much. I guess I'm a kid at heart, nothing better than a peanut butter and jelly sandwhich with a glass of milk

Dairy! I used to consume so much milk and cheese that I'm sure that's where a lot of my fat calories came from. I've found, though, that it just doesn't work well for me. I still occasionally have cheese, but never feel good after, and lactose free fat free milk is really all I can drink anymore.
And french fries. They just don't taste good anymore. They smell DIVINE, but taste BLEGH and they're so not worth it.0 -
I have only changed my eating habits for 3 weeks... so I am not sure what I will give up permanently.
I am no longer craving fast food...although I still will eat 12 potato chips if someone has them there but now I count them.
What I have noticed which is particularly pleasing to me - since giving up extra sugars and starches for the past few weeks - the taste of the food I am eating is exceptionally tasty - 0 -
I don't drink pop at all any more, and rarely eat processed food, fast food, chips, or chocolate. I drink my coffee (one cup/day) black (used to be 4 or 5 cups with cream and sugar)...
I'm working on eliminating wheat. I don't eat much of it, but what I do eat still causes my arthritis to flare up a bit...0 -
Fast food! No more drive thru's for this girl. Oh, and soda pop.. not even diet.0
-
Pasta. I always disliked how it made me feel and I really don't enjoy the taste0
-
No more Diet Coke. I thought it would be difficult, but surprisingly, it wasn't. I'm avoiding pasta, but still desire it (I love pasta). Based on all the responses, it sounds like I have a good chance of not really liking pasta if I eat it again. That's encouraging!0
-
I rarely have diet soda anymore. It was always a mainstay in the house, but i don't have the desire to drink it. I have one can in the fridge at work, and it's been there for weeks. I would rather grab the bottle of water that's next to it.0

Potatoes .. rarely pizza, bread (unless it's sourdough-it's low glycemic)
pasta is a rare treat, I might eat ice cream 1-2x per year since I began to
lose weight, rice is measured carefully as are my vegetable chips.
This past month I have cut way down on any un-natural sugars. I do
plan to continue these behaviours forever to maintain-once at my goal
weight.0 -
I've pretty much cut out white breads! That's it. I've seen and felt a HUGE difference.0
