Ice cream, soda, cake, cereal, and ALL fast food is off the menu permanently. I live by one rule, if I step on the scale and the number begins with a "2", then I make some diet/exercise adjustments to keep that number between 190-200. The key is I never over eat, rarely eat out, and I eliminated 90% of the junk food I used to eat.
In my early 50's now, and my weight stays between 195-200 at just over 6 feet. Ten years ago, I hit a peak of around 210 lbs, which was because my metabolism finally slowed down after hitting 40, yet I continued to eat like I was 22.
I don't know why people let themselves gain more than 10 pounds from their normal body weight. So many people put on 50 or more pounds and then get caught in a pattern of yo-yo dieting. So bad for your health it probably takes a few years off. If it takes 10 years to put on all the weight, give yourself at least a year to lose it.
Oysters are exquisite. I only ate them once in my life. But I have a huge fear of food poisoning/vomiting. So I cannot gamble with my stomach. They do say that oysters are the foods that are most likely to give you food poisoning, if I'm not mistaken.
Onions ( its true they make you burp!!)
Sometimes Cabbage....
Someone mentioned desserts, and I must say that has changed yet not gone away. More fruit desserts or custards. Nothing potently sweet any more...A simple dish of ice cream with berries and life is good.
I have no problems wanting, eating, or digesting everything that I've enjoyed over the years.
My problem is that I am not allowed to eat many of the things I like anymore. Whether it's the doctor or the DW, I always have someone figuratively slapping food out of my hand these days.
I put on weight so easily now that I'm practically down to celery and water, but that was long after I had to cut out dairy and a dozen other foods because of allergies.
That's funny! The Dr. just last week told me to have celery and water for snacks when I mentioned wanting to take off a few pounds!

Stick with it cause it gets harder once you hit 65!
but in regards to a past comment, despite the NY sounding name, "Coney dogs" are strictly a Midwest thing. I am from the NYC area and I had never heard of them until a friend who relocated here from Ohio told me about them (he mistook Nathan's for "Coney dogs") and I looked it up.
Interesting about my precious Coney dogs. What I described was Saturday night treat meal my mom would make for the family, almost without fail, for decades. That no one else knew of such a thing did not occur to me until I moved out West.
Nightshades. I can no longer enjoy the seasonal glut of home grown tomatoes and new potatoes. I could probably eat them in moderation.
