sugar substitutes. I used to use them to reduce calories. Now, I'd rather have either a sprinkle of real sugar, or nothing at all.



+1 to that.

Also: Lucky Charms, Captain Crunch, Cocoa Krispies, etc....
Milk/cream/Cremora in coffee -- I drink it black now
Commercially processed flavored powdered coffees
Meat-filled ravioli -- whether it's Chef Boyardee or high end Italian -- it just tastes yuck
Butter on baked potato
Butter on bread
Margarine

Fish sticks
Kool-Aid
That gross, yellowish, gummy cheap ice cream (don't remember the brand)
Pizza party rolls
Cheez whiz
Sweet tarts (the thought of them literally makes my salivary glands give a little twinge)
Deviled ham in a can (I always felt vaguely European unwrapping the paper from the little can)

One staple of my college years that I think they discontinued: Uncle Ben's Rice Bowls. I basically lived on those things.

I don't eat Chik Fil A because I refuse to support that business but that's the only food I have actively sworn off. There is no food I have eliminated entirely because it is unhealthy. We don't buy white bread, white rice, or white pasta but eat it out. Only eat fast food a couple times a year but eat plenty of "fast casual" like Chipotle, Panera, etc.


That's really backwards not to eat rice at home but think it's healthy to eat at Panera and co. I will take a cup of rice over an 800 calorie burrito any day.


I didn't say I think it's healthy. What I was saying is we take certain measures to eat healthy foods at home. And by no means is everything we eat at home healthy, but we try. That gives us more leeway to feel okay about eating out for convenience every once in a while. Don't a lot of people eat healthier at home? And when I said we eat "plenty" of fast casual, I was talking twice a month as opposed to twice a year for typical fast food.

I loved me some Sunny-D back in the day. I tried it again a few years ago and it was just a big shot of sugar - disgusting.

I also loved the canned ravioli, that is also full of sugar.

Oscar Meyer hotdogs are no go zone now.

Bologna

Capt n Crunch Peanut Butter

Hamburger Helper

What do you mix your rum with?!?


Lime, mint and agave nectar

(For the record I use sugar but agave is better for dissolving in cold drinks. Sometimes I will make sugar syrup)


You should really try Simply Lime. I know it's juice but it's great for mojitos.

Anyone remember Shasta? Only soda my mom would buy.

I too miss Carnation breakfast bars terribly but wonder if I would even like then now. I didn't even discover them until college though.

We were never allowed white bread or American cheese growing up. My mom was way ahead if her time on food awareness ( also no twinkles or hohos, no Mac n cheese, no Hawaiin Punch) . The problem is, as an adult I love some of those things, especially white bread and American cheese although not the Wonder type of white bread, the Pepperidge Farm kind.


What's wrong with American cheese? I must be late to the party...

Lemme guess, you "only eat fruits and veggies and look and feel SO much better." You don't understand why everyone doesn't eat this way. Your only source of protein is lentils but you just adore them.
