    Sweet tea and regular Coke but only because I don't have the will power to only have in moderation. 1 sweet tea=me drinking a gallon of it literally

    Me too...on both. Although, I can't say I have completely eliminated but having none for now. I have had one Coke since I started and asked them when they brought it not to refill it.

    Mushrooms.

    Or at least I try to eliminate them. Restaurants keep wanting to add them to salads and vegetarian dishes as though they are a vegetable and not a fungus.

    Soda.
    Also, I was using a TON of creamer in my coffee, and while I haven't cut it out completely, I have started appropriately following the serving size now

    Otherwise I am just being more conscious about serving sizes, but I'm not cutting foods completely out of my "diet" because that's not realistic to me in the long run

    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.

    Full calorie coffee creamer, it was too big of a calorie hit. I have not been able to figure a way to make five guys fit into my day, so i suppose you could say i eliminated it.

    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?)

    When I say "cream" I mean cream. Half-and-half or heavy whipping cream, depending on what's in the fridge.

    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.

    Other than 1-2 cups of coffee a day, I drink water. I like food too much to waste calories on a beverage.

    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 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!

    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. :)

    Artificial sweeteners aren't bad.

    I've eliminated meat. I'm a vegetarian and I don't really like meat and I have ethical issues.

    I've also eliminated Swiss chard. It tastes like dirt. I like most other leafy greens, though.

    Ha I am not the only one that thinks that Swiss chard was never meant to be eaten by humans? I love veggies with exception of chard and okra.

    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.
