    The only thing I really gave up is soda.

    I didn't have to give up alcohol because I've never drank.

    Salad's from restaurants....thought I was being good then realized not so much. Rather have yummier foods if I am going to eat that amount of calories and sodium. Sodium is huge for me since I seem to retain it all.

    The only foods I actually cut out are ones that make my ulcerative colitis flare up (pain beyond description). Even those I will have once in awhile, just a very small amount. I have also found that my body functions best when I get my carbs from more natural sources (or unprocessed, at least) and concentrate on getting more protein/fat. I have "cut out" pasta, because honestly I would rather eat more chicken parmesan than waste room in my stomach and take up calorie with simple carbs. I also avoid sugary, processed foods. I do eat them, aiming for an 80 /20 split (clean eating/ other foods). I don't think there's anything I truly WOULDN'T eat.

    I've cut back on a lot of salty things. I loooove salty foods, but all that sodium really isn't good for me. No more eating a whole block of ramen in a sitting, no more mounds of goldfish or cheezits or saltines or what have you. I can still eat a bit of those things, but MFP has really made it sink in just how much salt I've consumed!




    omg when i was 14 i could eat 2 blocks of roman and it made me curious so i used the calorie counter and found that one block is like my entire calorie intake for the day... thank god i started eating clean and wont even eat a bite now.

    I've stopped eating Domino's Pasta Bread bowls. There is no such thing as eating one of those in moderation, not if I want to sleep all weekend. :laugh:
    That being said, I've not completely cut out pasta or bread - it's just in tiny amounts on things I really enjoy.

    I have completely cut out sugary soda - except yesterday I was given regular Coke by mistake. :) I tossed it, but I got a few sips.

    Some days I'll eat nothing but junk because it's what I am in the mood for. Ice cream for breakfast? Sure!

    Though a lot of times I've reduced my eating of bread or starchy things by about 80%. If I have a choice between a lot more meat or a hunk of bread, I much prefer the meat.

    I'm partial to whole milk so some meals if I want it I end up having to decide on milk instead of whatever.

    It's helpful to be able to eat whatever I want, and just have either/or questions for every meal because I used to take so long to decide what to eat. Now it's a lot easier to narrow down. I do, however, look forward to being able to eat without a deficit in march, if I stay on schedule.

    I've pretty much cut out Starbucks/Caribou Latte type things. Some combo of cost and really not being able to justify 200 + calories for a drink. I'll get one occasionally still, but no where near what I was getting.

    Milk. Not worth the calories, since we buy whole milk for my son, and I don't drink it often enough to buy skim for myself.

    And soda. But I never really liked soda all that much to begin with. Now I almost hate it.

    Chips, juice and only have 2oz of pasta once or twice a week.

    Juice...I bought some of the 3oz paper bathroom Dixie cups. If I want juice, that's it. Works for me.

    I've just re started MFP this week so at the moment I've cut out the silly things I was eating and drinking. Milkshakes and ice cream are my problems but it's amazing what typing them into a calorie checker will do for my appetite for them. I put a Friji milkshake in my basket the other day, tallied up calories and put it straight back on the shelf. Eek!

    I eat anything in moderation. I even work in some McDonald's fries just for the heck of it every once in a while! LOVE THEM!

    Pasta, Rice, Bread and Potatoes. I limit a lot of other things as well. I have had a very small amount of rice in a sushi roll and at a few celebration meals I have had dessert. I don't drink juice or soda, but that had been for years before I committed to my new nutrition plan.

    I don't do recreational eating any more. It is just not worth it to me.

    I have given up wine!! I love it so much but I can't stop at one glass. It turns into the whole bottle and bad eating choices. One day at a time. I have an obsessive personality so for me, it is all or nothing.

    Pasta and sliced bread. I just don't feel the need for either of them anymore. I've replaced sliced bread with bread buns and sandwich thins and I just don't really want pasta in my meals unless I have a ready meal for lunch before work or something.

    I'm not talking about "banned" foods or "bad" foods here. I'm wondering what, if anything, have you stopped eating because once you started counting, you found you didn't like it enough to spend the calories on it.

    Potato chips! Pizza & deli meats, greatly reduced. Bacon also gone. They either make it difficult to meet macros inside calorie budget, or are overloaded with sodium.

    Conversely, it's great to have thick, dark bread back in the mix, along with rice and pasta! All in all, a fair exchange.

    I havent really cut anything out altogether but I have cut back on some things. I eat pasta and bread much less often. Especially bread... I eat pasta a few times a week. Eggs maybe 1-2x a week at best. I had originally cut eggs out almost all the way bc I needed to get my cholesterol under control, now that that is in check I am working them back into my diet. And diet soda I cut way back on as well.

    I'm just curious.

    I'm not talking about "banned" foods or "bad" foods here. I'm wondering what, if anything, have you stopped eating because once you started counting, you found you didn't like it enough to spend the calories on it. No right or wrong answers :)

    For me: Potato chips and juice. Meh.

    Chips and juice were the first two things to come to my mind as well.

    None. I just try to keep under my calorie goal. I have cut down on pasta though. And I'm trying to stop eating white bread.

    Like many who have responded in this thread, I haven't completely eliminated anything at all. The biggest change is probably that I used to drink a ridiculous amount of juice, and now I drink mostly water. I actually eat more chocolate now than I used to! "Chocolove - Almonds and Sea Salt in Dark Chocolate (3.2oz bar), 1/3 bar". Those 159 calories are 100% worth it to me, and on an almost daily basis! :laugh:
