    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 :]

    Melon, all of them.

    Pumpkin, unless baked into a cake, full of sweetened cream cheese, and sprinkled with powdered sugar.

    Avocado

    ...people. cause that's wrong.

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

    Oh, I like you.

    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.

    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?
    There is nothing I NEVER drink. Hardly ever works for me.

    Normal soda, I honestly think diet soda is perfectly fine in moderation
    Ice cream
    Maple syrup
    .Meat ( nasty ****. become a vegetarian )

    has nothing to do with weight loss, really. I just didn't enjoy it.

    Ditto. Once was enough.

    I wouldn't want to say what others should or shouldn't eat because there is little logic in what I don't eat. I don't eat:

    Meat, though I had a little try at the start of my pregnancy (craving)
    Gelatine, unless I really want whatever it is
    British Jelly or plain omelette, because the texture makes me want to be sick.

    However, there is no real logic to it, as I eat seafood and an octopus is just as clever as the land animals I avoid. Meat's just a combination of 'squeeee' and not tasty to me.

    1) Light beer (except Sam Adams Light) - Life's too short
    2) Mushrooms - But just me, they are perfectly fine, I just don't like them
    3) Well Done Beef - It's ruined
    4) Over cooked vegetable - See well done beef
    5) Tofurky - Not even once

    My "never-eats" (well very seldom anyways :blushing:) include the following:

    Calorie-laden drinks including juice, pop, smoothies, milkshakes, syrupy coffee drinks, and alcopops

    Processed foods with ridiculous amounts of salt (One Mcdonalds bagel sandwich has over 1000mg of sodium :noway:)

    Candy, milk chocolate, and white chocolate

    Pastry

    White bread, white rice, white pasta, etc.

    The last three are on the list because I don't enjoy them enough to be worth the calories. I'd rather spend my discretionary calories on something I really love (like dark chocolate - Mmm!).

    I see a few ppl mentioned maple syrup. What are the concerns there v
  • Posts: 2,860 Member
    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.
    there is nitrate free bacon... look for the uncured variety.. there is always a way to eat bacon...

    Of course this is my opinion.... Krispy Crème donutis....High fructose corn syrup.....soda pop ( diet or not ).... Little Debbie products...... High sugary snaks..... I guess what I am saying in so many words is SUGAR.... I feel so much better when I go without high sugar items and when I cut back on cereals and foods containing sugar. I try to keep my sugar contents under 6-7 grams of sugar per item. Its hard to keep your sugar under on My Fitness Pal....but if you are keeping it down by trying to cut out the bad stuff...then good for you. And the plus in it is a smaller waist line and a clearer mind and complexion. HAPPY MOTHERS DAY EVERYONE..... :flowerforyou:
