I can not buy those Soy mini "rice cake" things nor the real big rice cakes... I love the white cheddar kind and I will eat them all!! Either the whole bag or one whole packet of the big kinds...
For me, flavored rice cakes or low fat ice cream aren't "healthy" since they are so processed and sometimes have weird ingredients-- I try to stick to a more whole/natural foods type approach.
So foods that are on plan for me, but that I can easily eat waaaay too much of are:
steel cut oats and organic 4% cottage cheese... something about that starchy salty combo!
dried fruit-- raisins especially!
honey... in tea, yogurt, etc
nuts and nut butters
quinoa
garbanzo beans (the weirdest, definitely)
milk, soymilk etc... (just another chug from the container...)
snacky, bite sized fruits and veggies like berries, baby carrots, grape tomatoes
I still eat all these things a lot, I just try not to go (too) overboard!!
Cereal is a major trigger. I also have to be careful with sushi...I love it and could eat a whole bunch! It's easy to say that it's healthy, but I still gotta watch the portions! Oh, yams! I could eat baked yams all day and red potatoes that are cut in half and baked to perfection. They taste better than french fries, and if I could eat a little that would be great, but I really want to eat the whole cookie sheet of them! I could go on and on!
well when I was on a low fat diet I loved them! I currently do not eat them as they are a no no on south beach It is so hard to walk by them though.. yummy.
Cereal is a no no for me too.. a granola.. and I love natural no salt almonds..
I have had to train myself with 100 calorie packs and low-cal skinny cow ice cream.
I still keep them in the house but I buy crackers and pretzels instead of 100 cal chex mix and vanilla ice cream instead of chocolate ice cream sandwiches
I can't do the 100 calorie packs at all. I'm never satisfied with just one, so I don't even buy them. I really have to watch myself around anything dessert-like (except fruit), whether it's low-cal or not.
Any kind of cereal, but especially those with a honey flavor. I can GO INSANE on that stuff (Honey Bunches of Oats, anyone??). OMG I used to wake up to have a "healthy" breakfast of that stuff. I'd carefully measure out the correct portion size, pour my milk on top, and eat. Then I'd say, "Well, if I have another serving, what harm can it do?" I'd keep refilling that little bowl til I'd eaten the whole box. That stuff is my crack.
What healthy food is a No no for you!
It is so hard to walk by them though.. yummy.
