    Just for the record, white rice is actually healthier than brown rice. While brown rice has more nutrients overall, the bran coating actually prevents the human body from being able to digest and absorb them, which basically makes brown rice nutritionally empty to humans.

    I haven't really given up any foods yet but, I could not give up pizza. I just eat in moderation and walk/run to keep in shape. I have noticed that since I have started eating better foods that some of the so called "bad foods" don't taste as good as they once did. As long as I am losing weight and feeling good, I will just keep at it.

    Healthier ice cream. What's the catch?

    White rice
    ice cream
    pizza
    full fat, non-organic peanut butter (you'll pry my Jif from my cold, dead hands!)
    bread (although I did switch to a lower calorie variety)
    chips / crackers

    Moderation is the key. I'm going to eat real food, food that I like, because I'm making a lifestyle change. You can't expect a person to avoid that kind of thing forever if that's what they like. I need to learn how I can eat the things I enjoy and still be healthy. Otherwise I'll just gain it all back and than what's the point of working so hard now?

    I could never give up chocolate. EVER! I also refuse to switch to light beer and will not give up with morning coffee with creamer. Those are my non-negotiables!

    Pizza, Buffalo Wings, or Bacon. I try not to buy the stuff myself but if someone else does then it is game time.

    Can't think of one thing I've totally given up....but I can think of hundreds of things I've cut waaaaaay down on! As long as I'm under my daily calorie allowance, and most of my diet is healthy, I'm good to have a treat. :)

    sushi with white rice instead of brown
    anything sweet that comes in a plastic bag from CVS (gummy bears, orange slices, spice drops)

    i'm honestly never going to give up anything all together. but i've only had fast food (mcdonalds) once in 3 years.

    CHEESE definitely NOT giving up full fat cheese. The low fat no fat crap can take a leap. Bacon, wine, pizza, and CHOCOLATE!!
