For me, bad foods are sugar and white/refined carbs. I try to stay away from bread and pasta. If I have pasta, I have the kind with protein-wholewheat. I totally stay away from sugars, don't want to find out if I'm O.K. with them or not. Jules

I haven't had a problem with anything... I haven't had sugar, fats or simple carbs approaching a year and a half... if anything... I live on java or java protein drinks... not into "the solid food" thing at all...

I guess the "bad or trigger food" I have the most desire to eat would be sugar free candy. I do buy some occasionally and have 1 very small piece to curb the craving and I am satisfied. LB

Hello Lea and everyone For ME it is ...... it is ............ peanut butter and mixed nuts AND ...also.... protein bars!! i can't have them in my house or i will eat them all up!! LOL maybe once i get down to my goal weight i will add the nuts and peanut butter back into my diet BUT i will only buy the PB from Bell Plantation. and i will only buy the single bags for the mixed nuts. then i will be OK with PB and the mixed nuts! lol it will be already portioned out in the single bags. i will never buy or eat protein bars again in my life. i use to CRAVE protien bars alot probably because of the chocolate in them they are like candy bars on steriods!!!! To ME they are very unhealthy to eat. although i pretty much OK with the protein bars because i don't CRAVE them anymore like i use to it's been over 2 1/2 years since i had a protein bar and i don't care to eat them. thank goodness for that! i am over the protein bars but as for as the PB and mixed nuts go ... i can't have them in my house! i loooooooove PB and nuts...lol So anyway thats my "bad" foods that i have the worst time avoiding hugss Lizzy

I don't know how to answer this, for I've let myself have some bad foods (those Vanilla Oreos that DH brought home were SO yummy), but I have them in such moderation that I surprise myself. Last night we went to Atlantic City and I did so well at dinner!! We went to the buffet for lack of other options, and I had turkey with a little mashed potato (very little), and one coconut shrimp. Then I wanted some dessert, and I had about three bites of blueberry cobbler. That was it. So when it comes to bad food, I guess I can't avoid certain sweets, but that's only when they're in the house. I don't go out and seek them like I used to.

CHIPS!!! They go down so easy!! And disappear so fast. Alice

I have to agree with Lea, for me the most evil foods are white carbs. Once I start eating them they are hard to stay away from. Sally

Chocolate is my downfall - but I eat too many peanuts, too...

Let's see..how do I describe bad foods? I really don't have a list...just certain foods make me feel really guilty if I eat them and I will try and avoid those foods from there on out. I don't eat bread, so that cuts out a lot of bad foods. I occassionally treat myself to a cookie, which is naughty, but if I eat just one, I don't get on myself about it. I'm pretty good at sticking to what I know I should eat vs what I sometimes want to eat. Michele
