Right. Ignore anything that might be silly or fun. Because we have to 100% serious 100% of the time.

This thread, you'll soon see, will be wildly unpopular here.
When I first began learning how to eat right, I cut out soda, fried foods, bleached, enriched white flour, and foods with more than 3 grams of added sugars. (14 years ago). Now I would say I *limit* those foods, and consider them "treats". And when I eat them, I make sure they are darned tasty, well prepared, and evened out in terms of glycemic impact. Trans fats I eliminated later.
Your approach to this sounds a lot like the south beach diet. There's a group here who aim to eat "low glycemic". If it appeals to you, join the group.
Good luck. And ignore the weird comments about eliminating dirty, moldy food, and vegetables.
There are certainly foods that I don't really eat any more, simply because the calories are too high for me to justify them. However, just knowing that I have chosen not to eat them at this time versus, "OMG I can NEVER eat that food again" makes all the difference in the world. I don't typically eat a lot of bread. I like it, I just don't have it on even a daily basis. However, if I were to tell myself "no more bread" I'd start craving it like a fiend. That's just how MY brain works. The first time I tried Atkins, it ended after a few days with an entire loaf of French bread.

Packaged, processed foods as much as I can. I want to spend more time in my kitchen preparing food and planning ahead instead of being so impulsive.0

I don't like beets either. I have a friend who loves them. She'd say, "Oh, but they're so delicious. They taste like dirt!"
Really? That's your recommendation. They taste like dirt.
No thanks...I'll pass!

Little Debbie Oatmeal Creme Pies. But only because I can't be trusted with a box of them.0

Not sure why you quoted me, but yes, apparently saying "never" makes some folks want things more.Sabine_Stroehm wrote: »Oregonian still has the floor...hahaha...Was curious.

That's powerful knowledge.0 -

Only that which I am allergic or intolerant to, or that I don't like. Food groups have zilch to do with weight loss. I choose to eat all foods in moderation.0 -

I haven't really elliminated the foods...I have found other healthy alternatives like instead of soda fizzy water inhanced drinks, and instead of regular pasta is whole wheat pasta, instead of white bread is DAVES BREAD. Its all about the choices :-)0

Same here, but with Swiss Cake Rolls. I will buy a box and eat two, then give the rest away to family. I'm sure they make threads on here about sabotage

Cheesecake. Just because... I'd eat it all. Other than that I am having things in moderation. Have stopped buying white bread/pasta as prefer wholewheat pasta anyway and have seeded granary bread as it is soooooo good with peanut butter ha ha!0

And finding what works for ya. Dave's is awesome, btw.0 -
I have been using PB2 instead of regular peanut butter and I like it more than the normal fat fused peanut butter.0

I don't keep Pringles or Oreos in my house because I know my self-control goes out the window with those more often than not. If I buy Pringles, I'll most likely eat at least half the tube in one sitting. Oreos I can down easily also.
Otherwise....pretty much nada. Been switching to "healthier" options but not cutting out much as a whole.
