    Even though I love it, me and pasta do not get along. Neither do me and rice. I just can't quit ice cream either but I'm asking for a divorce.

    Soda, of any kind, even diet.
    And fresh baked french bread... beacuse I'll end up eating half of the loaf.

    I consider myself lucky, I'm not really into sweets of any kind. Not a fan of ice cream or cakes. It's just the darn fresh baked breads that get me!

    Once in a while I give in and half a piece but REALLY have to watch it if there is an entire loaf in the house.

    I have to cut all the food that I love that I know have a crazy amount of fat just because I'm not able to have "just a bit" or "a small portion of it". I know that when I start with those I can't stop ç__ç so here they are.....

    Rodeo chips
    fries...really, anything that is fried
    ice cream...
    puff pastry pizza... ç__ç this one hurts the most.

    My goal is reaching the perfect shape so that at least once a month I can have these guys back in my life <3

    No foods are off-limits for me, but I have found with tracking that ice cream is something I am not willing to have all the time. It is too calorie-dense and the fat is high, so I save it as an occasional treat, esp if it is a flavor I really like.

    For the calories in a 1/2 cup of ice cream (piddly!) I could have a whole bowl of yogurt and frozen fruit. Some days, though, only ice cream will do. :-)

    The only foods on my no-no list are the ones that cause medical ailments (IBS, diverticulitis) in me. Other than that - everything in moderation!

    I'm currently not eating anything processed or packaged, made with enriched flours, or with added sweeteners/preservatives. That ends on September 15th after my half marathon (decided to eat clean because I was simultaneously training for the race and trying to knock off the 20 pounds I gained abroad) when I indulge in a giant ice cream sundae with a brownie inside (which I believe breaks all of my rules).

    I really should add peanut butter to the no-no list though, just because I am completely incapable of eating it in limited quantities.

    I used to be addicted to sweet stuff like confectionary, cake, pastries etc so that is the one thing that I have to cut out now that I'm trying to lose weight. I know I could probably eat those things in moderation but I find it easier to completely cut it out of my diet as opposed to eating small amounts of it.

    Parsnips & pop tarts......everything else is fair game.
    High fructose Corn Syrup, msg, fried foods. I mainly try to have whole foods and anti-toxins. :)

    What are "anti-toxins"?

    I don't have anything that I can't eat. If I did I would fail. I do limit sweets and fried foods however.

    I eat all the foods.

    EAT ALL THE FOOD. The only thing I nearly exclusively don't consume is soda pop. But that's a choice because it rots your teeth and crap. And I love water. Gimme all the foods though. All of them. As long as they fit my cals and such.

    Bascially a low carb paelo diet is what is healthiest for me.

    Mexican food. I have a favorite restaurant that has some of the BEST smothered stuffed sopapillas and indian tacos with a ton of cheese and yummy goodness. <sigh>

    I haven't touched it since I started MFP. I did a 14er hike this weekend and thought about getting something since I knew I'd burn a TON of calories. But I didn't. And good thing. My weight was actually up (maybe water) the next day.

    As in "No-no, don't do that" (i.e. safeword)?

    We use pineapple :blushing:

    Cauliflower. I just hate it. It is *not* a good substitute for mashed potatoes, pizza crust, etc. because it's freakin' CAULIFLOWER and it's gross!

    Okay, I've been holding that one in for months. :drinker:

    My only no-no foods are ones I don't like or I can't eat....like too much dairy because I'm lactose intolerant and lactaid doesn't always work.

    The only thing that I don't buy and keep in the house is Twizzlers. I have zero self control when it comes to those damn things. I will sit and eat and eat and eat until my belly aches.

    Here's what I have decided to exclude from my diet:

    - All junk food
    - Pastries
    - White bread
    - Any meat besides fish
    - Sugar
    - Pasta
    - Noodles
    - Juice
    - Soda pop
    - Condiments (ranch, mayo etc.)

    What would you list as foods that you no longer eat?

    I would be a very sad girl indeed if I said goodbye to most of those. As others have said, nothing is off limits for me, although I'm not (and never have been) a fan of heavily processed/packaged foods.

    As an aside, I bought my daughter a pop tart from a local store that stocks US candy the other week (they're not commonly available in New Zealand). I had a small bite just to say I'd tried one and frankly I couldn't believe it was even classified as food.!And don't even get me started on twinkies and those cookie dough bite things! :tongue: *hides* :glasses:

    Croissants and fried stuff, but really because I don't think they are worth the calories for how much they fill me up. If I had leftover calories and it was convenient to get some, I'd definitely have some though... I've had some pie and a couple pastries though...
