Wine, easily wine. Secondly, banana bread. I cannot just have one bite. I could eat a whole loaf, and fast.

I should amend my post and say: nachos, and wine. I do love a nice dry wine.

I'm certain that if I tried any of my previous top 100, I'd have a serious problem. I ate a half sweet potato back in May, along with plenty of meat, asparagus, and cucumber in vinegar/mayo sauce, and I couldn't believe how STUFFED I felt when I was done. I hadn't loaded up my plate OR cleared it off like that in so long. I had no control over myself, even though I was technically making 'permissible' choices. I have been way more careful about what I eat since that meal.

Plain milk chocolate.

If you go Keto for a few months, the sweetness of milk chocolate will be overpowering. I once loved Miracle Whip and hated Hellmann's mayo. Now, I can't stand MW, its just too sweet. Even Hellman's tastes sweet now. I use it for a dipping sauce for my meat now.

That's why Lindt 90% is so awesome, 2x fat grams to carb grams... Keto chocolate, lol. And so much tastier than milk chocolate...

That lindt stuff makes me spiral outta control. It's so delicious. I always end up binging if I buy it.

I switched from Lindt to Ghiradelli despite the cost for just this reason, @minties82 . The chocolate wham factor is better, and even at the same % of cocoa, is far less sweet. Plus, it is individually wrapped, so I have to make a conscious choice, deliberately to eat more than one piece. Then chew gum to get rid of the lingering flavor (which tends to be a big part of my auto-binging...)...

If I can find an even better quality in my regular store, I'm so game!

Pepsi and Dr Pepper. I'm a newbie to keto but I've gone moderate carb in the past. If I allow myself this "treat" then all my control flies out the window.

I miss pop.

Binger!!

I have spent so often this past year dreaming of Lychees (sad I know). I discovered them for the first time last year and was counting the days until I could get more. There is just something about them-- so fragrant and sweet-- they're my fav food ever. So they finally just came in season a few weeks ago and I had only two servings of them. Then I decided to go LC.

I'm pretty sure if I had just one I'd hunt down and eat every last one in a 5 mile radius. That isn't a joke. I love them that much.

I have never seen one or heard of Lychees before. I just googled it and it looks like an interesting fruit. I've never seen them in America, either in Texas or Michigan. Maybe they're sold in a organic food/grocery store? IDK. Has anyone seen these in the states?

The carb count is around that of an apple, pear, pineapple, orange, blueberries...so it would have to be eaten in small servings... (I eat blueberries ~ a couple ounces a day in my jello...)

I have only seen them canned with syrup like pears, so I don't know if you could really find any that would fit your woe. But I do see them more in Asian food, so maybe an Asian market would have some fresh.

I have found Lychees in the following places in the US: Safeway (hit or miss-- some stores special order them), Trader Joes (they stocked them for like 5 minutes this year) and Asian markets. There is a place in Florida that sells them online but it's about $30 per pound. They are also sold on Amazon along with their first cousins, Mangosteens (not nearly as good in my opinion).

But as I told the nearly 30 people at my office who asked about the weird fruit I was eating, "BEWARE THEY ARE ADDICTING". About 26 of those people became addicted (one of them seriously like me) and the others didn't like them. So you have been warned.

Try Lindt 99%. It's delicious, it comes in small packets that are only 250 calories so even a massive binge can't get out of control and to be honest, I'm a bigger and I've never managed more than a third of a packet.

Never found 99%, only 90 where I live and I can never eat more than 60-70 grams of that in one go - its so rich.

Beer. Good beer.

Utz ripples potato chips. Nice and salty, and crunchy. Remember that old commercial "you can't eat just one"? Well that's me. I could eat a whole family-size bag of those chips in two days. ugh

Fast food Cheeseburgers. Bun and all. Haven't had one in months now. But when I see an ad I still salivate. Lol.

I also am a stress eater. But now I recognize it more and have been able to convince myself not to eat. Or I grab a handful of almonds and by the time I'm done a serving my craving is over.

Yey! Someone else who calls it "pop"! Moved South 5 years ago and get the strangest looks.
Pop was certainly my demon for years and I knew weight loss would not happen without kicking that habit. Once I did after 6 months I couldn't even sip it anymore. It the carbonation made it taste like battery acid.

All carbonated bev's are called "Coke" down south. Even if its a Sprite, someone will ask you "what kinda Coke do you want? A: Sprite....LOL! (I was born and raised in Dallas.) "Pop", is a dead ringer that you're a Yankee....

Up here in Michigan, they do it too. If a waitress asks you what you want to drink, a Michigander will say, a "Diet". Well, there dozens of diet drinks, but I soon learned that a "diet" is only a diet Coke (or Pepsi if pushed).

Its pop here in the UK too, well at least in the north of England where I live.
Cakes and puddings are my downfall. Craving something sweet the other day and though I would make a low carb egg custard. Big mistake ... It didn't satisfy the cravings, just made them worse. I used a sucralose sweetener, not sure if this was the cause or just the sweet taste?
