    I must avoid French bread at all costs, I dearly love a really robust olive oil with grated parmesan cheese salt and pepper and some delicious French bread to dip in it!

    Foods with added sugar or wheat...ice cream, cookies, pasta, bread, etc. Both always cause massive cravings to eat more.

    It's easy to do because I can eat anything else (including some foods I really love like nuts and cheese and natural peanut butter) with no problem controlling portions.

    I avoid food that I don't like and food that has been in the refrigerator so long that it looks funny or smells bad. Other than that, it's all good. I do limit food that doesn't seem worth it in terms of satisfaction for the number of calories. For me, that includes grocery store pastry and most fast food. If I'm eating cheesecake, I want great cheesecake. And a delicious juicy gourmet hamburger, please; not one of those quick cardboard things. I'm a fan of Habit myself.

    Soda, fast food places, and oreos. If I eat one oreo I usually eat all the oreos. Potato chips are the same way. Any dessert that isnt satisfying after one small portion. Otherwise ill binge.

    This thread is begging for pictures.

    Poutine.

    This.

    It is free of free sugars, gluten free, dairy free, and vegan. And a massive calorie hit that I simply cannot afford.

    I don't think you have to never eat a certain food again unless you know for a fact that it's medically pertinent.

    Like other people have said, you just have to cut the amount you eat.

    Beer. Bread. Cheese. Chips. Diet soda.

    All went right out the door.

    I am now slowly allowing a touch of cheese and bread back in now that I have a much better understanding of how to fit them within calorie and macro budgets.

    I don't really have anything I avoid unless I don't like it. But if we have snacks at work, I will avoid it. I just can't control how much I eat because of the variety of stuff I enjoy. I still buy ice cream, sodas, etc because I have kids. It doesn't bother me if I indulge or not. But when I see all those cheeseballs, dips, cakes, cookies in one room, well, too much of a temptation. Lol.

    The only foods I have actively removed from my diet are sodas /sweetened beverages. I only drink water now, occasional coffee from starbucks (maybe once every two weeks) and adults beverages on weekends. But monday - friday, it's all water, all the time.

    im just curious what foods everyone stays away from or rarely eats now that you are trying to lose weight.

    For me the #1 thing I stay away from is Nutella + Pretzels.

    Not a single one

    You can eat absolutely everything so long as you have a generally nutritious diet, hit your macros and micros and stay within your calories across the week

    No point in demonising any food .. just learn how to include them healthily in your diet

    *inforlife*
    Why this assumption everyone is demonising food? Personally I don't stay away from many foods but a lot of people find some foods trigger foods and much more likely to make them binge or overeat. So staying away from those foods isn't demonising it's just knowing yourself and limitations.

    I agree demonsing foods is not a good idea but the idea that because someone avoids foods they have demonised is a bit simplistic

    just go read the sugar detox thread where everyone is saying sugar = poison …

    the internet is alive with the "food is bad" or " you have to eat clean" mentality.

    The point rabbit is trying to make is there is no reason to avoid any food, unless if won't fit into your daily allowance.

    @ndj1979 - false!!! I would HIGHLY recommend avoiding foods that have mold on them, smell rancid, etc.... you get the idea..... :+1:

    None. I've cut back on a lot of things, but I've not eliminated anything unless I develop an intolerance to it. And sometimes not even then. I'll put up with minor rash to enjoy fresh, vine-ripened tomatoes! XD

    Seriously, don't worry about cutting foods out unless you have a medical reason for doing so. All you do is reinforce the 'bad food' image in your head, which makes you feel guilty when you try to treat yourself. Now, if there are foods you have trouble stopping eating once you start, you have to be careful, but it's still ok to go and get a single serving of them if you can to enjoy them.

    I've omitted any "diet" food I've used in the past (rice cakes, light ice cream, etc) and stick with real food plus extra veggies and fruit.

    In regards to just over eating and ruining my day...roasted chickpeas. I eat wayyy too many and I have no control so that has been abolished from the grocery list.
