Poll: Do you have a "shut down" food

This is mostly for those of us who can, at least on occasion, eat a halfway decent amount.

Do you have a "shut down" food - a food that when you eat just a little bit of it renders you unable to eat anything else?

Steak seems to be mine. Was craving it. So I marinated some in Greek yogurt (which makes it possible for me to ingest it without the whole damn thing coming back up). So I ate SOME of that this morning.

Five hours later I still can't eat!

Last week I took the girls (gasp!) to the buffet. Craved steak. Had a 3 oz. piece. Was unable to ingest anything else.

I'm not sure if I am happy or mad about that, frankly. But it is what it is!

So sory about your 3 crab limit. My pouch is delighted when I feed it crabs

which makes me happy since I am surrounded by crab places that all have $1 days.

Bananas. This strikes me as odd, considering bananas are basically mush and should just slip right through. But for some reason, if I eat half a banana, it makes me feel so damn full, I usually can't move on for quite some time.

I can eat beef, so steak is not mine...thank goodness! I have a couple of vegetables that shut me down....cabbage, but especially raw cabbage and broccoli...either cooked or raw. They don't stop me for hours and hours, but it definitely brings the meal to an end!

Brussels sprouts do it to me every time, and it ****** me off 'cause I love them! I can eat 2-3 of them, and I am done eating.

Although nothing shuts me down for too long. 1/2 hour later I'm ready to eat again.

Oh man, me too! I love them oven roasted wtih olive oil, salt and pepper. It kind of carmelizes them... yum. But yeah, two or three and whammo. Total halt to eating.
