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!!!!
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!
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.

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.
