Many! I actually can't even buy things in a box any longer. It just reminds me of cat and dog food that is poured into a bowl, then eaten with spoons or fingers. So, I no longer buy any of it for my husband and son. And have told them if they want different foods they'll have to get them. My motto is " Do not buy anything in a box unless its' food for the appliances or pets."

Me, personally, it's Cheese Nips. For some reason I would see the box, crave it, buy it, decide to only eat a handful only to find myself twenty minutes later with my hand near the bottom of the box and my mouth filled with dry fake cheese crumbs. Regret. Repeat next month. Ugh! They so remind me of cat food now. I pity the cats.

Yesterday, I wanted to eat something just because it tasted good! I was determined I was ready to "cheat". So I raided the fridge. (We've only been paleo a week.) And I saw exactly what I wanted - a leftover turkey burger patty - no bun. SO I put some mayo on it. And that was my big "cheat" - mayonnaise. LOL.

Diet Coke! I drank at least one every day. I did a Whole30 in April and didn't drink it all month. ONce it was over, I thought, "I can finally have my liquid goodness!" Bought a fountain drink and two sips later I was throwing it away! Thought maybe it was because of it being fountain so I opened a can (my favorite way to drink it)...2 sips later, dumped it out! It tasted horrible! I haven't had any since then!

I'd have to agree with the cakes/pastries (though I did have a few bites of a homemade coffee cake last month...delicious!), fake ice cream, cheesy crackers - anything with fake fillers, really. If I'm gonna have ice cream now, I'm gonna make it the full-fat, no fillers, delicous kind! I was just telling my girlfriend the other day, that now I can taste the partially hydrogenated oil crap in some stuff, like cheese nips (it tastes like margarine). I have no desire to eat any bread anymore, though sometimes I think I miss toast, but it's really I miss having something to put butter on. :laugh:

At the holidays, the sweet potato dish with the added brown sugar and marshmallows was waaay too sweet for me - I've gotten used to not needing to add anything but some butter and cinnamon to mine at home, and even that is sweet enough to be a dessert for me.

same here! but i make my own mayo so i know its paleo.... eggs and olive oil.

SAME HERE. So I at least put it on veggies. I bought a small cup of truffle butter about 2 weeks before going paleo/primal...it was going to originally be for pasta. Now it's amazing on fresh green beans especially...and broccoli.

Sometimes I make one of those low-carb MIM's - muffin in a minute, from flax meal, then smother in butter! mmm. :bigsmile:

Sweet potatoes with cinnimon or salt are SOO good! That is my Yum treat now. I also like Japanese Yams a lot, made the same way. I have a chocolate weakness, but even then I prefer dark/less sweet chocolate to generic chocolate any day. M&Ms are pretty, "meh." I've had MUCH higher quality chocolate than those things.

With bread stuff, I have just cut it out almost completely. I don't really do the replacement almond flour or whatever. I did make some gluten free pancakes for my not-so-paleo son (between daycare and his dad it won't ever happen) a few weeks ago and they were good. Though mainly good because I put some creamed honey with blueberries I bought at the farmer's market and butter on them. On the rare occasion I decide I want a peanutbutter sandwhich I use sprouted whole-grain bread from Garden of Life or someone similar. Not paleo/primal at all, but I like it and I only eat it once every month, sometimes less. Thankfully that stuff lasts a while in the fridge.
