Just wondering what foods people may have stopped eating for their diet or lifestyle changes?

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?

We gave up cow's milk and soda pop. Made a world of difference in our health.

Anything made from or containing:
  • refined grains
  • refined or added sugars
  • "vegetable" oils (actually industrialized and highly-processed seed oils)
  • non-organic dairy or anything "skimmed" or fat-reduced
  • feedlot or CAFO beef/pork/poultry/eggs
  • farmed or canned fish
  • non-organic fruits and vegetables
  • anything containing that sludge called "textured soy protein" or other "fake meat" fillers
  • anything designed to be a substitute for real food, like margarine or that science experiment Subway calls "egg mixture".
I don't avoid these foods 100%, but they are last on my list of preferences.

Pikantari...if you love spaghetti, a great way to use that yummy sauce is to bake a spaghetti squash, then put your sauce on that...a great alternative to pasta.

Thanks, I may try that. I have never made or eaten that before so we shall see!

Fast food
I only eat out in restaurants once a month, maybe.
Sweets
Fried foods
Fruit juices

I started cooking at home, making healthier versions of my faves.
Drinking water, green tea, or almond milk only

Basically any starch fried in vegetable oil. Despite eating out a lot, I almost never eat french fries, potato chips, or hash browns. Doughnuts for the same reason. Also don't bother with cereal or skim milk.

Cut way down on starches, bread, eliminated sugar other than what is naturally in whole foods, no fried foods, chips a few times a year, try to eat as little processed food as possible, cut way back on cheese, eliminated red meat, eggs.

Fast food, red meat, soda are the biggest ones. I've come to love fish.
