    I stay away from red meat, poultry and pork. I am trying to limit cheese. Also most processed foods.

    Anything rotten or poisonous (at least I try). Really strong smelly cheeses.

    Foods that have gone bad/rotten or that I don't like. Everything else is in the right time in the right amount.

    Canned tuna. Too similar to cat food, and especially seeing it mixed with mayo it really turns my stomach. Most other foods don't bother me to be around, even if I don't want to eat them myself.

    I stopped eating potato chips, coffee creamer and trying to stay away from candy bars, cookies, etc. Mainly because they're a slippery slope but also just trying to test my strength to see if I can do it. I still eat a pint of light ice cream per night though. Low Cow or Halo Top is life! Lol.

    I've been good for a while. And for the last two months I've mostly stopped eating meat. No particular reason really. Again, I guess it's partly to see if I can. Plus I've always wanted to try the vegetarian life. Not sure if that's the direction I'm ultimately going, but I'm open to it. In its place I've been eating lots of Quorn Meatless Pieces and Quorn steak strips in my salads. It's delicious stuff!

    Cheese and most condiment type sauces (mayo, ketchup, aioli) because I can't stand them.

    Lima beans, seaweed salad, meat, fish and seafood . . . also insects. Vegetarianism saves me from trying a lot of foods I'd otherwise feel obligated to sample.

    Cured meats. I had a precancerous colon polyp removed last year and cured meats have been linked to colon cancer, so cured meats are off my diet. Including bacon. 😫

    Bananas, avocado and mushrooms because they make me so ill even though I love them. Gluten and dairy because I have crohns and I'm really sensitive to them but I do have small amounts. Not much fruit or veg because too much fibre.

    I try to stay away from anything with refined sugars, if possible, except on designated days. I love sugar, and if I don't pay close attention I tend to go overboard. Also, I try to stay away from anything too greasy and/or fried, simply because of the way it makes me feel after eating.

    In general, I have what I like in moderation and stay away from anything that makes me feel weighed down or sluggish after eating.

    Only the foods I dislike. Everything else in moderation, and portion control. Life is too short to stay away from foods I enjoy, and it isn’t necessary.

    What does this mean? No PB cups? Or just not the chocolate part?

    Mushrooms.

    But they aren't food ... they're fungus.

    I avoid candy just because I can't stop once I start. Outside of that nothing is off limits. And just to balance it out I LOVE lima beans. I'm weird I know....
