Is there any one food or item you've completely eliminated from your diet?

no more sodas for me

i haven't had one in 3 years and i didn't even realized it until this thread O_O

Hell yeah,

I am trying to eliminate nuts (peanut butter/almond butter) because i am totally obsessed with them! (Up to 3tbsp per day on worst case) but i go cold turkey right away , no matter how much i ate at that day i dont feel satisfied at all and ended up eating more than normal

I've given up soda -- both coke and diet -- although at a restaurant meal I will have a diet soda. I generally avoid breads and pasta. I cut red meat back to two times or so per week. I have not had any fast food in over 2 years.

Ice cream, buttered popcorn, cakes, biscuits, blueberry muffins, hard cheese, coconut & coconut milk, grapefruit, chocolate, pastry........what do I really miss? cheese, cheese, cheese!!!!!!!!!!!! If I was just losing weight I could eat my favourite no no's as a treat in moderation but 'he who must be obeyed' [my doctor] says Nooooo because I have high cholesterol....booooo!!

I am somewhat addicted to Fresca, and had been drinking 2-3 cans a day, every day. Even though there are zero calories, I've learned how bad artificial sweeteners are, so I've taken them out of my diet completely.
Anyone else cut anything out totally?

I cut out fizzy drinks as was drinking them constantly and I no u can get no sugar ones but found my diet would be better without and with water instead so havnt drank any since started my diet

Just asking - is coffee creamer in liquid or dry form? From reading these boards everyone seems to use creamer instead of milk in US.

Creamer comes in dry and liquid form. I myself prefer liquid as the powdered stuff just tastes nasty to me. I occasionally use milk, but I mainly use my creamer. (Caramel Macchiato or White Chocolate Mocha, anyone?)

I switched to black in my early 20s, but in college I used milk with my coffee.

A friend of mine still does, and restaurants sometimes have a surprisingly difficult time with this and will bring cream or half and half despite her request for milk.

In college, I used to go through so much soda, I'm honestly surprised that I'm not dead and/or diabetic. I would have it at my desk and not even think about grabbing one. I'd go through 5 or 6 12-packs in a span of 12 hours or so. I noticed one day that when I would go home between semesters, I wouldn't drink any soda. No craving, no anything. So, I decided about 6 years ago, no more. I haven't had a single soda since.

I also used to have fast food(McDonald's/Taco Bell/etc) at least once a day. About 9 weeks ago I cut that all together. Now the only fast food I eat is a 6" sandwich from Subway.

I've also started weening myself off coffee. I've gone from 4 cups(with creamer/sugar) a day, to 2(black) a week.

I prefer to find alternatives or swaps instead. For example when I started in tracking I realized how much I was really adding into my morning coffee. So I did a little research and found a great and much healthier creamer option.

I've cut out all beef, pork, and red meat of any kind. Basically, any kind of meat that comes from a mammal I don't eat anymore.

Pepsi - I was taking in probably over 1000 calories a day. I just needed to leave it out, maybe some day I will allow it back, but not for a long time.
Edit: I was not good with chips, overate them a good bit, but I have a handle on that. I only let myself have the exact serving size.

I gave up baked goods and cheese. I am over the baked goods. Got a handle on that. But I miss cheese. And to me the fat reduced cheese is like plastic, so I treat myself with a tablespoon of Parmesan Petals over my huge bowl of veggies. The Parmesan flavour helps me cope! Still trying to figure out how to make a lasagna which I have been dreaming about..... Without too much ooey gooey cheese!

If I can't have cheese and bacon, then life isn't worth living! Seriously, I found a diet that'll allow me both, because I'm not gonna live without either. cheeeeeese

Soda, juice, alcohol, pretty much any liquid (drink) that has calories. Aside from the occassional (treat), I don't eat processed or take out anything. I'm human so yeah... sometimes my snack comes in a bag or a box. I've eliminated anything that would be considered a lower quality treat like chocolate for example. If I'm going to eat chocolate it's going to be the good kind and not just any old candy bar. I don't drink milk, it's for baby cows. I don't eat grains of any kind with the exception of once or maybe twice per week. I don't eat chinese food (yuk), and I don't eat McDonalds, BK or Wendys (double yuk)! I only eat red meat about once every couple of months or so when I'm feeling like I need the extra iron/fat/protein.

Sweet tea here too. There's just not room for all those calories in my day. In the past 9 months I've probably had it once or twice.
