    I have given up refined sugars completely.

    It was hard the first couple of weeks, but now, I just take it one day at a time.

    It has given me a calorie deficit - no cupcakes, no candy, no processed foods (most have sugar), no cakes, no puddings, no kind bars (sugar is the second ingredient), no pastries, just say "NO" to sugar.

    I feel better most of the time and am feeling the results after a short 40 days...

    I may have sugar again some day, just not today and hopefully not tomorrow...

    I gave up sugar, wheat, corn, rice, potatoes, peanuts, and legumes.
    I am careful with salt, dairy, starchy vegetables, and fruit.

    I haven't completely stopped eating anything, but I've cut down a lot on potato chips, pastries, and candy bars, and I've cut down a little on alcohol.

    diet coke, chips and ice cream. I had a 3-6 can (daily) diet coke addiction, had to stop. Chips. I could eat a whole bag during one episode of my favorite shows and ice cream, hubby had us going to dairy queen 3 times a week! uggg. I do drink a sprite zero a day but hubby still buys them like he did my diet coke! So now I have 4-5 24 packs under my cabinet at a time. LOL he thinks he is being sweet I am trying to start going unprocessed and find I am feeling much better so even the sprite zeros are going to end soon.

    I gave up Pepsi. If I crave a carbonated beverage I have a Diet 7-Up or a Ginger Ale.

    i avoid Chinese Buffet - Mainly because it's hard to track the calories and I don't like it enough to not care about the calories.

    Everything dairy has been the one thing I have managed to stay clear of the last 6 months.

    Dairy. Eggs. Meat. Fast food. Sweets.

    Everything unhealthy, really. lol

    Edit: Oh and pop. That nasty stuff. -_-

    Biscuits and now if the family are having pizza or takeaway I only have a tiny portion, or sometimes none at all. I still have chocolate but limit myself to one piece so it is easy to work in to my daily allowance. :-)

    fruit juice
    sugary cocktails & mixed drinks
    shakes (I still have occasional ice cream but not shakes/malts, they are just not worth it at all to me)
    snack cakes
    bagels
    chunks of cheese. I mostly eat small quantities of shredded cheese on other foods instead of snacking on a hunk of cheddar like before
    Chinese food...I do still eat this once in awhile but MUCH smaller portions, like 1/4 the amount I previously ate when ordering takeout
    fried food, for the most part

    I also use condiments very sparingly compared to in the past. I don't put butter or margarine on anything, really. I cook or bake with butter maybe 1-2 times per month.

    I stopped eating beef, poultry & pork but that was before joining MFP. I'll occasionally have something made with a bit of meat in it like sauces or soups but not often.

    Diet pepsi and diet cola sure are bad news hey! I started having one glass with the odd takeaway (I figured it was better than all those high calorie sodas they offer) but now I have a glass or two every day. I tried giving it up for a while, but somehow got back onto it. Unfortunately any artificially sweetened beverage is just as bad, so looks like water for me from now on!

    Desserts in general. I'm pretty picky about sweets, and I don't crave them. I will only eat dessert if there is pecan pie or carrot cake available. Otherwise, I'm just not tempted to consume the extra calories.

    I'm a IIFYM kind of girl, so I haven't cut out anything except fast food; not only for the caloric factor, but the health aspect. Granted, a whopper or a crunchwrap every now and again isn't going to kill anyone, but I'm trying to set an example for my 21mo.

    Any refined carbs and limited my carb intake to those that come from vegetables. Feel waaay better about everything ever since I started doing that.

    Potato chips. If I wasn't counting cals I'd probably still eat it but I don't like it enough to spend my cals on it.
