Mountain Dew.

Since I moved to diet that stuff tastes like s***

Diet mountain dew is my favorite diet. Diet Pepsi tastes like ass have to drink it freezing for it to be palitable. Diet Coke I can drink warm. Diet mountain dew I could drink warm and flat and it's still pretty good.

I can't finish most candy bars these days. I'm trying to cut out the soda, but I'm pretty hooked.

Honestly I've increased what I will eat as I've gotten older. Only the sweetest foods got cut.

I just now started eating ramen noodles again, but usually mixed with chicken or steak and additional vegetables, not it's own meal.

I've stopped eating powder based mac & cheese, but still eat 2% velveeta shells & cheese

I used to eat fast food a lot, now maybe once / month or two

potato chips ... never really cared for them, unhealthy, and not delicious, so don't eat at all now.

grilled cheese sandwich ... was the ONLY thing my little brother would eat for about 10 years ... got so sick of them by the time he was 4 years old that I vowed never to eat one again.

French Fries ... these things are tasty, but also horrible for me. I still eat them from time to time, but, I don't eat them on a regular basis, and I now stick to a smaller size... so my consumption is probably down about 90%

Pop ... I used to drink like 2-3 liters of mountain dew or RC cola daily. Now, I consume maybe 1 liter per 2 months. I like how they taste, and I like the caffeine, but just not worth it from a calorie perspective, and diet pop tastes like crap, so I stick to coffee/tea/water now. (no sugar, no cream!!! And not that garbage powdered 'tea' from a can with all kinds of sugar and other contaminants.)

Don't care for potato chips, but love Tortillas + Cheese or Salsa dip. Yum.

Oh I am a cheese lover. Good thing is, Cheese is good for you with protein and fat trimming dairy. Ignore the calories (don't eat too much) but it's good.

Fries are awesome. But it's good for the once a month meal. And only the good ones at sit down restaurants, not McD.

I ONLY drink diet sodas lol. I can't STAND the taste of high fructose corn syrup D: present in Coke/Pepsi etc.

when I got on my weight loss kick, I cut a lot of processed carbs from my diet. I don't really even like most of them anymore.

I stopped consuming: pasta, white bread, soda, off-the-shelf candy (though I still enjoy nice chocolates from an actual chocolatier once in awhile).

I've had the worst craving for a zebra cake all month, but I'm not going to buy an entire box when I only want 1.

I barely eat any sweets. If something is too sweet it just starts to bother me and I wont finish it. I drink a lot less soda as well, but it helps that I really like a glass of ice cold water.

Taco Bell is fucking nasty and I can't eat more than half of a triple stack burger without something to wash the grease out of my mouth with or else I feel sick. Homemade burgers are fine.

Pierogis, however, remain delicious.

I used to feel that way about diet sodas, but now they are all I drink. The regular sodas do taste a little sweet the few times I've had one lately.

Milk, ever since I tried the gallon of milk challenge I just don't want to drink any more.
Gummy Bears, I find them disgusting now.
Sodas, reserved for special occasions.

Ice cream. I love it, I just don't have the metabolism for the calories any more.
