What are the foods you refuse to compromise on?

French Vanilla non-dairy creamer. I tried to compromise by getting the fat free and sugar free versions but they were not the same. I think I may try and make my own using sweetened condensed milk, almond milk and vanilla extract.

Bacon. There is no substitute. Eat it. Enjoy it. Log it.

Turkey bacon Tried it once. No thank you.

Ice cream..must be full fat and full of cookie dough!

I don't really buy substitutes for anything, we use real butter, real cheese, etc but if I had to pick something I'd be the most pissed about subbing it'd be beer. I don't want light, pee colored beer water.

I don't compromise on "diet" food, period. They never taste right, they're usually loaded with extra sugar, salt, or various chemical cocktails, & all they do is leave me craving the real thing. Life is too short to eat imitation anything, so I just stick with my good friends, Portion Control and Weight Training.

Cheese - my wedding reception was in a cheese shop, I'm obviously not settling for plastic cheese
Bacon - turkey bacon is so disappointing
Beer - even Guinness is a poor substitute for a locally brewed imperial milk stout, and don't you dare try to give me a Bud Light
Wine - what is this Skinny Girl crap?
Butter - I mean, margarine's all loaded with trans fat anyway, right? AND it tastes bad.
Baked goods - please keep your applesauce and black beans away from my kitchen
Ice cream - I can rant for an hour about how Arctic Zero is the most terrible substance on the planet
Bread - I'll take the calories in a fresh-baked loaf from the bakery up the street to a bag of 40-calorie-a-slice Nature's Own that's more air than substance every day of the week
White rice - OK fine, I eat brown rice sometimes, but because it goes with a particular dish better. If I'm eating any kind of Asian cuisine, white rice all the way. I don't get why people think brown rice is better for you anyway...? A smidge more fiber?

Absolutely nothing. I will only eat/drink something if I like it. As it happens I did prefer diet coke to coke but then I don't really drink fizzy drinks any more so it's a moot point.

I refuse to touch anything diet, low fat, fat free or sugar free. They usually mean chemical *kitten* storm. I'll either just go without or enjoy it in smaller quanties.

AGREED!!!!!! plus the taste is not nearly as satisfying....i'd rather workout an extra 10-15min over a diet or sugar/fat free anything...

Me too, you can practically eat anything as long as you are knowledgeable about what your body needs at any particular point in time. You can infrequently go to eat highly caloric ally dense food (up to your daily limit) but it's not a great trade off knowing you can't eat for the rest of the day.

I don't like soya based 'tastes like meat' just call it soya burger/hotdog or whatever. You aren't fooling anyone. I also question all the added flavoring/salt. If you want soya go for the fermented kinds (to avoid the estrogen ) but I am not sure people will want to incorporate tempt into there diet. never mind the more foreign looking stuff like natto that looks like a alien is hiding in the plate.

I also don't like low fat anything, what's the point if it tastes like cardboard. Oh right add a sauce.. Fat is a flavor carrier and in moderation sen-sates hunger

Caloric and macro/micro nutrients are what is important in an appropriate size. Having to be watchful of that all the time has made me look at food differently.

I used to love chips and used to eat that as a large base of my calories.. Obviously that stopped for the better.

Butter. Mayo. Cheese. Whole milk. Bacon. Salad dressing.

I dont buy diet anything.....always tastes like chemicals

High quality chocolate. I've sworn off the cheap stuff. Which means I eat it less often and a lot more slowly.

Butter like all of you.

Peanut butter. Low-fat is just spiked with sugar. What's the point?

I don't get low-cal bread any more. It's glorified Styrofoam with no holding power.

I am very happy however with low-fat cheese and aspartame loaded sodas.

Cheese (all kinds)
Bacon (the thicker the better)
Beer (the darker the better)
Kraft Dinner (the more orange and mixed with butter the better)
Ranch (the more creamier the better)
Butter (amazing)
Peanut Butter (natural and chunky only)
Ice Cream (all kinds)

Dairy period. I'll eat a good cheese I agree it goes further. Sour cream? No sub there. Butter? No way. No sub on dairy products.
