in Food and Nutrition
Time to point the finger- I can think of some foods that are directly responsible for me gaining weight. I can't really eat them anymore, because I won't be able to stop myself.

No knead bread- I found this recipe a few years ago, super easy to make french/sourdough style bread that is better than bakery bread. I would make a loaf every other day and spend the rest of the day eating slices slathered in butter.

Thai iced tea- In Thailand there is a 7-11 on every corner in cities, they have sweet, creamy thai tea in those washing machine type dispensers, spinning around. I cannot resit Thai tea and drank one whenever I saw a 7-11. I spent two months traveling in Thailand, a lot of my clothes were super tight when I got home. I'm sure it didn't help most of the food was fried as well, but I blame the tea.

I'm sure there are more but these are the worst offenders. Is there a specific food that you can't resist, will gorge yourself on and made you gain?

    For me it was donuts, soda, and pasta. Oh and cheese. Can't forget that little bugger.

    I have learned to suppress the urge, but it used to be the 12 oz Rib-eye steak from Texas Roadhouse ( medium rare, of course) with creamy horseradish sauce. At one time, I could have eaten one for any meal, any time of day!

    Hiya.
    White crusty bread with butter is my worst or cheese on toast. Both are banned from the house.

    I avoid chocolate covered donuts with sprinkles at all costs (I could eat 4 for breakfast alone, it was easier to buy a dozen because once I had one, craved it all day)

    Ive learned to eat icecream in moderation but refuse to buy the big tubs (despite them being cheaper) because I will sit and eat it daily till its gone, and it MIGHT take 2 days. SOmeone told me to try light ice cream but If Im going to eat it ow, I want the real stuff

    What made me look at myself and make a change was that I ate very small breakfast or even skipped it, then at school I stuffed my mouth with Snickers, Twixes and Marses, leaving lunch untouched. At home I ate dinner which was the biggest meal during my day. After that I ate all sorts of chocolate stuff, candies and chips.

    My metabolism is pretty fast on its own, but I didn't exercise (only at PE and that was with the minimum effort), so I was the best example of SkinnyFat.
    Thank god I saw how much harm I did to my health and body.

    I haven't had KFC or McD's for over 2 months now and I don't think I ever will again.

    I moved to a place with no McDonalds so I didn't eat it for 6 months. Then when I was traveling to visit my parents, I got McDonalds and it made me sick. I used to eat it all the time. Now my stomach can't handle fast food! Which is probably a good thing.
