    I've never said "never" to food or drink. I have, however, reduced my intake of sodas and alcohol simply because I'd rather spend my calories on yummy food.

    my own personal list:

    artificial sweeteners
    hydrogenated oils
    high fructose corn syrup
    nitrates/ preserved meats
    pineapples (im allergic!)

    i break the nitrate rule once in a while in the name of bacon, but other than that i stick to it. i havent intentionally ingested artificial sweeteners ever. im not talking weight loss, im talking fueling the body with healthy goodness. i get the everything is permissible in moderation thing, and im all for the philosophy, but personally i avoid the above list whenever possible. and i still manage to eat the goodies i want in moderation.

    the trans fats in animal products are so minimal they're not worth worrying about, as long as you're not eating all the meats and have a balanced healthful diet. :)

    Road kill (unless it's very fresh), arsenic, shipping peanuts (they don't taste anything like Planter's!), yellow snow, and Brussels sprouts.

    Agree, with the exception of Brussels Sprouts!

    I always see the ads where it's like "five things you should never eat" and it has a huge banana on the side...
    So I'm curious what are the five things you feel you should never eat/drink with trying to be healthy/lose weight?

    It's funny about bananas. They are featured in almost every "yummy" (taken with a grain of salt) low-cal "treat" in the recipe section.

    No smoothies-- I am not a baby, I chew my food.
    No liver.
    No mushrooms (or any fungi).
    No soda.
    No things I hate.

    Did you know that white powdery stuff on the outside of grapes is a fungus? Not sure what that has to do with anything. Just thought I'd share

    It all depends on your goals. For instance bananas are VERY healthy, but also high in calories. Which is why it was probably there. My advice is diet sodas, zero calorie sweeteners, red meat, frozen foods/meals (even if they are low calorie!) and probably the last one would be potato chips.
    Diet sodas are a must to avoid though; they can literally rot your brain because of the mixture of zero calorie sweeteners and caffeine. Zero calorie sweeteners make you crave carbs anyways, but this stuff gives you mood swings, and destroys brain cells. Bananas have fiber and potassium which are two main things you want when you're trying to lose weight. If you're worried about the calories walk to the grocery store to get one so it's already burnt off :]

    Sugar in refined form,
    Anything with HFCS,
    Anything with a GMO ingredient<<especially SOY,
    Anything with Trans-fats, ...
    White and enriched<<<especially flour
    Anything with food dyes
    Canola Oil

    Just my 2 cents. You don't have to agree...
    and I do eat these things on occasion, but I stay very aware of it, and keep it modest.
