    @amusedmonkey Yeah, nuts are extremely calorie dense and it’s so easy to over do them. I like nuts but I never developed a craving for them. Potato chips on the other hand….like you said, it’s probably best to keep them out of the house in the 1st place to avoid tempted snacking

    @VegjoyP if the sweets are hard to do completely without, try to train your taste buds to do with less sugar. For example, make cake frosting with half or a quarter the amount of sugars you’d normally use and instead increase fat content for satiety. Your body metabolizes sugars and fats differently. I bet your mom made some of the best stuff!

    😄I don't eat any of the foods I intend unless I make a healthy version! I am thin and eat WFPB diet. These are foods that I used to eat and have trouble stopping. I do use monkfruit, stevia and Truvia
    Something that helps my cravings believe it or not is curry and savory dishes 😋
    Peanut butter however....... lol!

    @Speakeasy76 Why are you eating to try to stay awake at night?

    I'm not consciously choosing to eat just so I can stay awake longer. Lack of enough good sleep and/or feeling tired can increase one's appetite and make one more prone to overeating. This is what I"m noticing. I am trying to get to bed earlier, but I also want some time to myself after my kids go to bed.

    Sweets. If it has sugar in it, I'm all over it! I need to tame my appetite for it.

    I also love ramen noodles and pasta plus add potato chips or Doritos to the list. I'd have a difficult time passing up rich chocolate cake, too.

    Litehouse Bluecheese dressing. Just because it's low carb doesn't mean I can drown my food in it! Crazy calories!

    Bob's Big Boy Roquefort is even MORE addicting...

    I used to have an issue with sodas, worked my way up to a 2-liter per day, minimum. Tried the diet versions, hated the taste. Went cold turkey, missed the taste, especially in combination with certain meals.

    So I made myself a deal. I could have as much as I wanted, but first I had to chug twice the volume of water. So if I wanted a 12oz can, first I had to drink 24oz of water.

    At first this still led to me drinking more soda than was good for me, but it didn't take long for me to realize a lot of time I was drinking soda not for the flavor but because I was thirsty, and when the water negated the thirst, many times I had no interest in actually drinking any soda.

    These days I drink on average 3-4 12oz sodas per week, guilt free. (Some weeks 5-6, some weeks 1-2.) Plus when I go a few days between sodas, they just taste better than if I have them every day.

    Potatoes in almost any form. Not the healthy kind but the white ones that are used as a vehicle for butter, salt, and cheese.

    Potato crisps for sure. Can't put them down, addicted to them.

    Bread. I read somewhere "bread is just a vehicle for calories". In my case-so true! I have to avoid bread.... it's not possible just to eat one slice🤣🤣

    Same here. I attempt to avoid keeping bread in the house because it's one of the things I have extreme trouble keeping in check.

    Bacon. Haven't had any for months but man I love it. It isn't really the calories it's practically everything else.

    Oh... and homemade potato chips there's a place 50 yards away that makes the best.

    Honorable Mention: Cheese...and wine.

    I like fish and chips but to be honest I REALLY like the battered sausages you get from chip shops so I will sometimes indulge in a battered sausage and a serve of chips dowsed in ketchup. Cheap meal! I also like the black and white puddings they sell which are also battered. Haggis is okay for me too although it tends to be a bit grainy textured at times. All occasional treats :)

    It was bread, but I'm actually allergic to it now and I really don't like gluten free bread. Chocolate is another one, I haven't had any in a while and haven't been wanting it, but if I have some, I'll start wanting it again. Also indian and chinese takeaways,Thai food and fish and chips.

    Food in general. I love to eat. The pandemic lock down had me ordering from grub hub 7 days a week. If I had to pinpoint a "culprit" I'd have to say flour. Anything that has flour (pizza crust, to sandwich bread, to cake) just sends me into a feeding frenzy. Carbs are fine, but there's something special about flour that makes me ravenous.

    I don't have them nor sugar! I eat a whole food plant baseddiey and really love it! I like that stuff but it's not a weakness literally. Plus I have found endless things that are substitutes or alternative recipes! And yes healthy fats make huge difference!
