    I don't believe in that sort of rule.

    I don't eat after 8 pm
    I don't eat food that I serve at work (all fried)
    i don't drink soda
    I don't eat Ice cream (after 3 years I think I might cave on this one though :(

    My only strict food rule is no wheat, barley, or rye (or beer, or anything made with those things)... but that's only because I'm a diagnosed Celiac. Otherwise, everything is fair game!!

    No primates, rodents, cats or dogs. Or artichoke, because it smells like armpits and I don't want to eat armpits.

    I don't strictly not eat anything at all, but I like to choose how I spend my calories wisely. ie. I want something that tastes good but I also try and aim for feeling full etc. and nutritional content

    For those reasons I try to avoid starchy/high carb food such as bread/pasta/rice/potato where possible. I try and stay around 100 carbs a day which would be impossible if I had those things. I try and "spend" those carbs on vegetables :)

    I don't drink soda, I make sure I drink at LEAST eight glasses of water a day (though it's usually around ten...), and I've started to allow myself only three non-clean meals per week. Also, I do my best to not eat while I'm distracted. Since I'm in college, that one's a bit of a challenge, haha.

    ^^same as this. I'd like to add no reptiles or mangoes. Mangoes smell like vomit and I don't want to eat vomit. (I've never tried artichoke, and I'm not about to start!)

    The only things I don't allow myself are things that I don't like!
    Everything in moderation. Cutting out things you love completely is the number one reason people can't stick to the lifestyle (it's not a diet)!

    No sugar free foods, I'd rather starve. The after taste of every artificial sweetener I've ever tried is just too awful.

    I don't eat anything labelled diet or lite. I'd rather eat less of the real stuff than more of the fake stuff.

    Other than that, nothing is off limits.

    Absolutely no soda, white bread/rice/pasta only whole wheat products, and no fast food. If I get take out it has to be prepared and made to order.

    I don't have any rules :] I limit some things only because they test my self control more than i'd like xD

    I like the no dogs or cats rule. Alligators are yummy though. They are a reptile right?

    Don't drink your calories (except for post workout protein shakes - and then they are only around 100 cals). For me, it's a satiety thing.

    Also, I am a lacto ovo vegetarian, no exceptions.

    My only rule is to not eat anything I hate just because it's 'good for me'. I'm looking at you broccoli!
