What is the one food you can't even touch?

25lbsorbust

I know, moderation, moderation... everything in moderation... I do the same thing (you can check my diary. Hell, I eat nothing but junk. In moderation).
Buuut... when it comes to pizza?
Moderation is out the window. Especially new york style thin crust. I will eat an entire pizza without blinking, so I can't even really bring it near me!

What's your achilles tendon of food that you just can't do moderation with?

Forget the donuts... I can't even touch the box!

When I read this thread title, I thought it was going to be about food I couldn't eat because I hated it lol.

Anyway, chips ahoy cookies...or any whole pack of cookies. I need to buy the mini bags or I can devour the whole pack.

Pringles! Once you pop you can't stop!

Oysters

Fizzy jellies. Custard creams. Rich teas. Basically sugary bikkies and sweets. Just cannot stop at one or two.

So for the foreseeable future I just ban them.

I find if I'm eating ENOUGH of the RIGHT foods . I stress the word "ENOUGH" and "RIGHT" I do not crave junk or anything of the sort .

I used to be a big sucker for PB and J sandwiches, I still love em don't get me wrong but I found I was eating three of them a day at one point especially during the early months of recovery from anorexia .

Once I was weight restored , and my appetite naturally regulated (it's still regulating ) I no longer craved these foods, as my body didn't need them.

I started eating MORE whole foods, making my porridge in the morning with up to 100 grams of oats and a plant based milk alternative (preferably soy as its more nutrient and protein rich) instead of water, and eating plenty of bananas , whole grain rice , potatoes , BEANSSSS, fruits and vegetables .

When I fill up with good food I no longer feel so out of control around crap empty calorie foods , and can stop at 1 or 2 Oreos instead of 4-6 or the whole packet .

It's literally as simple as eating WHOLE food and eating ENOUGH .

If you have ever restricted your calories
You will end up experiencing "reactive eating" (Google the term extreme hunger) and thus this is why diets do not work.

In terms of calories I eat between 2500-3000 calories on average , I go to the gym 5 times a week and do my best to walk everyday as its so good for you .

Calories are not created equally .

I've had anorexia , I used to believe the "calories in calories" out , which in a sense is true as its physics , but do you really think the body processes all the calories the same as a donut versus I dunno an apple?

No.

There's a study done on people eating nuts I believe it was almonds , and they found that a percentage of the almond calories were excreted via stool as the body couldn't process them.

Whole food is the way to go.

Chinese.. I always say I will just eat a small portion. Never works.

I have to agree with the Cadburys Mini Egg statement from earlier, I used to work in a Supermarket Bakery, and at Easter, the bakery would receive CATERING size packs of mini eggs to decorate the cakes with. Dangerous times!

As I read down, I don't get it.. Is it foods that disgust me or foods I can't help myself around. Cause, I can't seem to figure out the former but damn PIZZA

Cheese. I can't have cheese in the house. I will eat nothing but cheese until it is gone if it's in the house. I have absolutely no control.

dietcepheus

Never been much into cakes and pastries but... Rice, noodles and pasta, oh my! Can't get enough of the stuff.

sara_b0702

Totally agree on pizza. French fries, onion rings... anything fried is hard to stop eating!!

Peanut butter - I've been doing pretty good so far in portioning but I have a nasty habit of getting too hungry and eating spoonfuls of it. Yikes!

This is really only applicable to people who have had eating disorders. I understand exactly what you're saying, as I recovered from anorexia (and bulimia... and exercise bulimia...) as well. But for people who've never messed with their hunger cues or really built self-worth/esteem/heavily labeled things as "good" and "bad," this isn't as applicable.

It's a bit controversial to insist "calories are not created equally"... OK, more than a bit.

I think the 3 pb& j sandwiches a day and the anorexia recovery were the issue, not pb&j in and of itself...

This makes dieting very difficult indeed, that said, with good programming it can work...

Calories in calories out is probably not the best term to use, I prefer "energy balance...

I feel you. I have a thing for super-aged cheddar. The more bitterly sharp the better. I almost brought some home from HEB last night and had to force myself to walk away because I knew the voice in the back of my head saying "I'll only eat what I can fit in my CICO" was lying!

I miss cheese

Trader Joe's Speculoos cookie butter. It will ruin my life. Talenti ice cream, especially the peanut butter pretzel. I don't think it has ever even made it to my freezer.

Tortilla Chips and Salsa/Queso
Potato Chips/Crisps
Cheez-its
Coca-Cola

I still have these things occasionally. I just don't keep them at home. They haunt the *kitten* out of me if I know they're existing in the cabinet.

I physically can't have these things in my house. These are for eating out only.

Sour candy (like someone above said, I can eat them until my mouth hurts! Recently read the nutrition on the bag of sour cherry blasters...9 candies is 140 cals, and I can easily consume 30-40 in a sitting!) ...nutella (Picture it: middle of the kitchen, in the dark, with a big spoon)...any small chocolate type things (too easy to pop in the mouth without realizing how many!)....
