What have you stopped eating? (BMI, hormones, work out, exercise)

[McGowdog]

Neat idea with the gmo free corn tortillas. Didn't know that dark chocolate was so processed.

Has anyone tried Beanitos? If so, are they not too bad for you? Someone told me that anything that is made to be that crunchy is a problem.

I haven't eaten red meat, poultry and dairy in years.

[SoulJourn]

Red meat, white refined flour products, soda and corn, certainly seem to be on their way out.

Just an observation.

I stopped eating crickets - grasshoppers are tastier.

Ive eaten 30+ large pizza orders recently with a lot of sides, desserts and often 2 pizza. No pizza for almost 3 days now. I hope I can stop, therefor I can stop.

I have stopped eating breads, rice, white potatoes, and pasta. I try not to eat much sugar. When I order tea, I get unsweetened now and I have stopped drinking soda altogether.

I do not eat fast food at all. I have cut down my red meat consumption a lot.

I must say, I don't miss it much. I do miss a baked potato every once in a while, but I have substituted it with sweet potato. I'm not really eating any fried foods, either.

I have added lots of fruits and vegetables.

I do want some spaghetti though. I guess I could just have the sauce, I don't know.

How about you?

Being diabetic, my list is similar to yours, however I haven't COMPLETELY stopped eating anything, just cut waaaay back. Any bread type products are only eaten at breakfast, I don't eat pork except bacon once per week. I try to avoid fried foods but will eat something on occasion. I eat pasta maybe a couple times per month. No sweets, no processed foods. Drink only tea, water and wine. Had to give up coffee recently, was not agreeing with me. Only small portions of meats, red meat just a few times per month. I eat a lot of seafoods and salads, nuts, eggs and cheese.

I've eliminated refined pasta and sugar, but only because my blood sugar suggest I'm borderline prediabetic. If you get a blood sugar tester and test that your blood sugar does not rise above 140 mg/dl at any time after a huge carb meal, there's no real need to eliminate pasta or bread from the diet. Some pastas can be high in fiber as well... so enjoy your pizza and spaghetti if you are one of them genetically fortunate individuals who can tolerate carbs well... they aren't going to hurt ya.

Best to test approx 1 hour after a meal. Ideally you should not exceed 140 mg/dl at this time.

Honestly you'd be better off avoiding bacon, hot dogs, and other processed, high nitrate meats over pasta or bread. Also meats cooked at high heat or burnt to a crisp, such as on a grill, are far more harmful to the body than pasta as well, as is eating a lot of 'smoked' meat.

Sugar
Artificial sweeteners
Most carbs, other than some veggies.

Once I get closer to my goal weight, I will gradually add back in things like beans, sweet potatoes, quinoa. I feel a lot better on a very low carb diet, because it keeps the cravings away. I am a total carb and sugar addict, and once I eat something bad, the cravings become intense and I can't stop. After the first week of eliminating carby foods, I've found it easier and easier to resist. Work has been flooded with junky food this month due to lots of trainings and meetings. Normally I would partake in all of it, but I've successfully resisted donuts (4 times), bagels, pizza, Chinese food (other than lettuce wraps), sandwiches, chips, cookies, candy, etc. That's just at work and doesn't include anything else I've said no to on my own personal time. I also don't eat red meat or pork, not due to the current diet but because I stopped eating them 12 years ago.

I "gave up" a lot of food over the years, many I haven't had in 10+ years, though not for weight loss. Most of this stuff I never really ate anyway so it was easy to just cut it out. Some of it was for health reasons.

-soda
-beef and pork products
-milk
-soy products
-potato chips
-fruit juice
-fried foods

I rarely eat bread and I don't buy "goodies". You would never find pre-packed cookies and cakes in my house. They taste "fake" to me. I will bake on occasion though if I'm itching for a cookie.
