    Well, mushrooms, asparagus, and seafood are on my definite "No" list... because I don't like the way they taste. I eat when I'm hungry, not when I am in the vicinity of a grocery store or bakery.

    I don't have a "No" list. I eat whatever I want - with my only food rules being:
    1. No snacking!
    2. Stay within my calorie count!
    And it works because I've lost nearly 46 lbs in less than 7 months.

    I didn't ban anything, but did a lot less of certain things. I realized after I reached maintenance that I hadn't had a beer the whole time I was losing. It wasn't deliberate, but when I wanted an adult beverage, it was a lot easier to fit in a shot of bourbon or a glass of wine. Boy, did that first beer (I've still only had a few of them) taste good!

    I'm still avoiding good cheese most of the time because it's almost impossible to stop eating it. I'm not crazy enough to give it up, but it's more a special occasion treat than an everyday pigout.

    I haven't approached losing weight with banning certain foods, I have just become accustomed to eating a lot less of french fries, potato chips, cookies, ice cream, cake, etc. Its funny I don't really miss my former eating habits. Often I will choose a salad with a sandwich over fries, fruit instead of ice cream and cake, but every now and then a small piece of cake or ice cream is good,

    It's just portion control. Calories in versus calories out works for me.

    I eat the foods I love, in moderation. If I'd like a treat, I work it into my macros.

    I'm really good about treating myself in moderation, so I don't really ban many foods. One thing that I absolutely cannot eat however is chips. One bite and I'm off to finish the whole bag. It's much easier for me to resist them at all than to try to stop eating them.

    Dr. Mercola is a great place to start. Good luck!

    That statement alone de-legitimizes everything you said. Not that any of it was legit anyway. But hey, thanks for playing the pseudo-science game. For your door prize, you get to be attacked by an MFP Hater!

    I'm all for everything in moderation. I don't deprive myself. I will say however I try to stay away from overly greasy food like pizza. Just one slice messes me up. It makes me queazy. I love the taste beyond compare but not my body.

    Nothing. Reduce or modify intake, yes work extra to fit it in, yes, extend the time between having things, yes, but completely "No" not happening:noway: . It may take me longer to get where I want to be but denying stuff is a sure way to fail for me.

    Let's see...

    1) No donuts... I don't actually like them, so they are just a stupid waste of calories (for me).
    2) No brie in the house... I will eat it all!! Maybe I will reward myself with brie after I lose 10 lbs.
    3) No, God no, no, no, no Everything Pretzel Crisps in the house! I will eat half of a bag in one sitting. I think I have gained most of my weight from pretzel crisps. I love you, Pretzel Crisps, but ... it's not you, it's me.
    4) No fries. Don't really like them. Mindless waste of calories.
    5) No wine in the house. It makes me feel terrible and is a waste of calories.

    My personal strategy is to allow myself things I really like (Little Bacon Cheeseburger from Five Guys or small amounts of pizza) and try not to eat filler food I don't actually enjoy (or doesn't fill me up).

    I do allow myself a Guinness Draught in a bottle. I eat pesto. I eat bacon. These things are worth exercising for. Ha-ha! :happy: :laugh:

    Soda. I quit drinking soda cold turkey and the only time I drink it is when my period requires me to (sometimes once a month, mostly never).
    And McDonald's. I've always hated the greasy food and the green poop but was eating it before due to lack of money lol now I am more creative with my money and I will never eat McDonald's ever again :D
