What Food item will you NOT give up??
 

I always thought this was kinda interesting-my coworkers know what I WON'T give up. So do you all have any food items that you won't give up even if it's not on your plan????

Mine: Coor's Light and 2% shredded cheddar cheese on my salad.
NOT GONNA DO IT!!!!

My wine lol, and provolone cheese. I grab a piece once in a while when I'm hungry and there's nothing in the fridge.

I would agree with the wine :D. Although I know I have to give it up as it's been a good chuck of my weight gain I'm sure.

BREAD!!!! STARCH. I could never be an Atkins girl that's for sure.:no:

Ice Cream :)

I'm temporarily giving up the wine......it is really hard! As soon as I'm at goal, I'll reevaluate. I know I'll never give it up for good!

I cannot give up full fat sour cream. I will, if I remember, cut it with Z-trim (I really can't tell the difference), but I cannot and will not use low fat or fat free sour cream! Darn stuff tastes like skim milk with flour mixed in to thicken it. Yuck!

Wine and chocolate!!!! Of course, I'm a firm believer that you don't need to completely give up anything to lose. Everything in moderation!

Coffee... but I drink it black, so it isn't too bad.
Beer... MGD! But only a couple on the weekend.

My whole wheat english muffin w/ 1 tbsp peanut butter in the morning. Makes me soooooo happy!

coffee, tea, Spenda, and fat free half-and-half. I would lose my mind if I didn't get 2 to 4 cups of each a day.

I also won't give up dark chocolate. I only get one piece of Dove dark chocolate a day (45 calories) and I wait for that special after lunch treat.

My Sugar Free Butter Pecan ice cream by Eddy's. It makes me feel like I'm having a "normal" treat and its delicious!

Hi Jan!!!

Ok I agree with you on the 2% cheddar thing!!!!!

I had low fat cheddar yesterday for the first time and what is that stuff????:?:

Yuck. Tasted like rubber to me :(

Hiya Karen,
I heard something about Fat Free Shredded cheese a while back. Something to the effect that it's made with oil or gas or something like that. LOL. I heard that it's really bad for you. Tastes like plastic. eeeeuuuw. PS. Don't eat the fat free hot dogs either.....I think they're made with styrofoam...hehehe.

Ice cream

Fat Free cheese doesn't melt. That scares me a little........

ABSTRACT: Fat-free mozzarella cheeses containing 4 levels of calcium (0.79%, 0.66%, 0.59%, and 0.50%) were manufactured on 4 separate occasions. Meltability as softening time and temperature, melting time and temperature, flow rate, extent of flow, decrease in cheese height during melting, melt area, whiteness (L* value) at 5 and 60 °C and proteolysis were evaluated on 1, 7, 15, and 30 d. Reduction of 35% of the calcium increased the cheese flow to 2.5 times and the cheese also required 19% less time to melt. Low-calcium fat-free cheeses required lower temperature and less time to soften and melt, and had greater and faster flow. Whiteness decreased and proteolysis was greater in low-calcium cheeses.

See-I told you-it's made from gasoline.......
