What's the one thing you can't give up?

Does anyone have a food they can't give up? Something you save up all your carbs for? Mine is ketchup. So far it hasn't interfered but I still feel a tad guilty using it because it's made with sugar.

Chicken boob and tuna. They are literally the only two foods that I eat all of the time, regardless of bulk or cut.2

I like some dry wine or alcohol on the weekend. I'm completely fine with dry wines or liquor with no sweet mixer, but I wouldn't be too happy if I suddenly had to stop ever having it.
Its no problem to limit it to once a week though.3 -
Movie popcorn. No other carbs that day and more than normal water intake. It's usually on a workout day as well.2

Cheese5

I'm the same as @lovesretirement! I know movie popcorn is terrible for you, but it's so good. Thankfully, we don't see many movies.0

Corn tortillas lol I'm of Mexican heritage and well we eat tortillas with everything lol I only eat the small 6 inch corn ones (7 net carbs ea) and limit myself to 2 at the absolute most and not everyday.3

Bacon - I guess it is good I don't have to give it up...4

Spice. The hotter the better. If I couldn't eat spicey food I'd just stop eating.
Luckily for me, I can make things spicey without adding a lot of carbs.2 -
Ice Cream. I discovered Halo Top recently and just the 1/2 cup serving is perfect.4

Dairy, (heavy whipping cream and cheese), I have seasonal (environmental) allergies that have somewhat improved but not gone away on this way of eating. They always say milk makes you produce mucous. I have thought I should try giving up dairy and see if that makes a difference with my allergies/mucous production. I thought I could swap out coconut milk/cream for my HWC, but can't handle the texture/throat feeling I get with coconut anything. I love my cheese also!3

Coffee.
And diet cola4 -
Diet Coke!1

My weekend wine. Love a glass of red with my food, or a glass of prosecco .
I can be good all week long, but if this is to be the way I eat for the rest of my life, I need to ensure it is sustainable for the long run.1 -
I have to agree with @nvmomketo, and @freckles2002. Diet coke! I have tried going even to Diet Rite, but it is just too sweet. So now instead of drinking it all day long, I have tried to start using it as a reward for drinking my water. If I get my water drank for the day, then I get to have my diet coke. If the water doesn't get drunk, then no diet coke.1

Potatoes. I don't eat them anywhere near as much as I used to and I can't eat them in as large of quantities. But every now and then, I want some fries.1

Wine and darkest chocolate, that sounds like two but I have them together so it is "one snack food" in my head. I could never give it up totally. I don't have to have it, but I could never cut it out of my life. I have given up a lot of 'vices' in my life but I won't give this up.4

Oh, I do have to add my name to the coffee list!1

I have been wanting to try the halo top ice cream but it's not sold in my area. Looks like they have a lot of flavors!inspirationstation wrote: »Ice Cream. I discovered Halo Top recently and just the 1/2 cup serving is perfect.

Coffee, dairy products, Halo Top ice cream, 90% dark chocolate, peanut butter, and the occasional cappuccino made with whole milk.3

Alcohol. Love it, all of it in all kinds. But gave it up. So I guess I can do without it. Feel much better without it. I'll have some if I want to. That's the secret...I think.3
-
I think I'm coming to the realization that there isn't anything I couldn't give up if necessary....lol. I used to think I could never give up pasta or bread and wow was I wrong about that....
That being said I still love my coffee and would be real sad to give it up as well.
And cheese....2 -
If I had to pick one thing it's Diet Coke. I know it's not a food, but I love it. I try not to drink more than one of those 16.9 oz bottles a day, though.0

I'm so pleased I don't have to give up Cheese. I lost the original 80 lbs on weight watchers and learned a lot of good things from that plan but man oh man...good cheese was so "expensive" in terms of points. Now....meh. I do what I want

I would suggest consulting legal counsel.4 -
Cream in my multiple cups of coffee. I recently read that if you have a food you are unwilling to give up, you should give that up. Part if me agrees...i have no carbs left for greens or other healthy foods...and I suspect the dairy may contribulte to the gross keto breath.
Have been toying with the idea of trying it out for a week or even a day...so far havent done it.
Coffee with cream is my hands down fave food. I'm almost out of cream now..so, maybe i should just give it a whirl and see if it helps with the above mentioned things as well as with a boost in weight loss...1 -
You might need to run a few Numbers on the side...4
