    Chocolate, red meat and alcohol (not that I drink every, or even most nights, but I don't want to feel that I CAN'T have a beer or split a bottle of wine with friends).

    Oh yeah, I forgot wine. Can't seem to give that up!

    Veggies. Healthy and highly recommended. But I dislike most of them, except for brocolli/cooked carrots/french beans.

    Chocolates and ice-cream are 2 things I won't leave.

    Half and half. I like others, I've tried drinking black coffee.. But I just couldn't do it. Also, ketchup. It's relatively low calorie.. Unless you're me and use about 7 servings at a time.

    Potatoes. I don't care who says carbs are the devil.

    I refuse to give up wine to lose weight. I drink it most every day.
    I refuse to drink shakes or smoothies or eat anything I don't enjoy in an effort to lose weight.

    My non-negotiable are cream in my coffee, real butter, full fat salad dressing, super dark chocolate, full fat cheese, and sour cream.

    Things that are healthy/low calorie that I will not eat are organ meats, artificially sweetened items, and onions.

    I will not give up my morning coffee. I put 2 teaspoons of sugar and 2 tablespoons of half and half in it. I don't have more than 2 per day. I have it figured at 71 calories per cup. Sometimes I just have one.

    I really want to lose weight, but my diet has to be something I can live with every day. If it isn't then I will just eventually go back to my old ways and gain the weight back. So far I have lost 21 pounds so I guess the coffee isn't hurting me too much. I could probably switch to low fat half and half, but when I look at the ingredients there are too many words I can't pronounce so I stick with the regular.

    I was wondering if people have a particular food/routine they won't give up or reversely a healthy food they absolutely won't eat.

    I HAVE to have coffee in the morning and I always have milk (skim) and sugar. Tried to drink it with less of both, but bleh o_o

    Good butter and cheese probably top the list. I can put up with a lot of crap food, but not those. I won't give them up.

    Healthy food I won't eat? Besides the ones I had to give up per doc's orders? hmmm I can't think of any.

    Peanut butter

    And I thought I was the only person who didn't like peanut butter.

    Loads of non-negs including coffee, chocolate and red wine. One healthy food I won't eat is garlic, don't mind the taste but don't want garlicky breath for ages later and brushing teeth/chewing parsley afterwards doesn't help me. Spring onions ditto. Love red onions, but not raw.

    My peanut butter will have to be buried with me. :)

    I won't give up a late night snack. Usually sweet, but not always. I'm not sure I could give it up and actually get decent sleep for the first week or so, it's become such a habit.

    There are plenty of 'healthy' foods I won't eat. Eel stands out as a big 'yuck' (yes, I did taste it). I won't eat cooked fish, either, unless it's a pretty mild flaky white fish. Raw, it's a different story.

    Pizza! When I was losing weight I tried making substitutions, but it wasn't the same as the pizza from my favorite place. :(

    Later on I learned from here that I could eat what I want, just watch the calories. Then I went back to eating my favorite pizza. YAY! :)

    Still lost weight having pizza every Friday night and have kept it off. :)

    I have to have full fat dairy. Low fat cheese makes me sad.

    Cheese! I HAVE to have some. I would have a hard time giving up chocolate or pork too.

    For the safety of my colleagues I can't go without tea with milk (low fat though) and sugar.

    One with brekkie, 11am, lunch and mid afternoon. I'm gradually working down on my sugar though and am now making more of an effort to have plenty of water (or a different tea - green usually) in between.

    I could and will not give up sweets (love them!) Followed closely by pizza and coffee with 1-2T creamer.

    Healthy foods I won't eat...raw sliced tomatoes are all that comes to mind.

    Oh, I will never eat fake sweeteners. The only fake sweetener I have is in my protein shake, and I've managed to find one that isn't completely disgusting. But in my coffee/tea? Never, ever. I would rather have nothing than put that cr*p in there.

    I will never give up pizza, cheese, cheesecake or red meats (burgers and steak yummm)

    I don't like avocado.. everyone says to try it on different things, but the look alone grosses me out not to mention the texture. Yuck.

    Lots; coffee with my creamer. Cheese. Sour cream, people,use Greek yogurt in place of it? I still don't understand that. It's not that high in calories as it is, measured properly.

    My wife loves sour cream, she has switched to greek yogurt (fage), imo tastes just like sour cream and is much much healthier. I'm not just going by calories on that either, the protein content is much higher.

    That's a better reason than the calorie reason. I still love my sour cream. All the defense of using it is funny, though. It's one of my non-negotiables
