What food could you go without? Not?

If someone declared tomorrow that YOU could never eat another food or food group for the REST of your life- what could you easily give up?

What could you NOT live without?

I could easily go the rest of my life never eating another piece of cake, pastry, brownie, or cookie.

If you took Greek food away from me, I would be devastated. I LOVE it.

I could give up milk, brownies, lima beans....OK, OK...I don't like those things anyway with the exception of brownies and I will occasionally eat them but they're not my favorites. So those things would be easy to give up!!

What I could not give up.....potatoes and pasta....YEP...I love carbs.

could not give up chocolate, sometimes i NEED it, also could not give up dairy products, i really like them all. also i could not give up smart pop popcorn. it is so filling for so few calories. i have found a bag of it is the one thing that keeps me from eating everything in site during the afternoon. otherwise i will eat 1000 plus calories just waiting for dinner!

could easily give up crackers, potatoes, rice, pastas, bread, bagels etc. i have very little interest in starchy carbs.

I could easily give up chocolate since I don't really like it. LOL (I don't like pork either, I could give that up!)

As far as what I couldn't give up.... probably strawberries or icee pops.

I used to be a bread, rice and pasta girl but no more....I'm doing Atkins and loving it.

I probably could not go without salad....I have always loved the freshness of it.

I would gladly give up coconut, sauerkraut and ketchup since I hate them and never eat them anyway.

I love pasta dishes, chicken, cheeseburgers, most sandwiches and Coca Cola.

I like most fruits and veggies and lots of other things.

I feel fortunate that I could easily give up chocolate. I work will a couple of chocolate-oholocs and they get real crazy mid-afternoon if they don't have their "fix".
Something I could never give up is any kind of potatoes. If you dangle a french fry in front of me, I will follow you into the next time-zone.

I could give up breads, pizza, & most desserts (every now & then I need one though I am not a chocolate fan). Also I could give up poultry.
I could never give up red meat, absolutely MUST have it. Nothing like a good steak & some potatoes. But I pretty much LIVE on salad without meat. Love salad & italian dressing (would be hard though without the croutons, must admit). Love vegies without butter of course but could never be a vegetarian even thogh every single one of them I know is as thin as a rail.

I could so easily never eat red meat again. I rarely eat it anymore anyway. I just don't really like the taste anymore, it always seems so greasy.

I could NEVER give up seafood. I absolutely love it!!

wow, I am curious about this-might sound like a dumb question, but how much water is in 40lbs. of crushed ice? If you are eating 10.3lbs. of crushed ice every day, do you pee an awful lot? Don't mean to be gross, just curious as that sounds like a LOT of ice. Maybe I should try that-I don't drink near enought water as I should, but I do like ice.

HE HE, It's a fair question.. I don't notice any differences in my Bathroom time than any other times. However, I have eaten ice like this for some 15+ years. So I may go more offend than someone who didn't eat all this. I got Thur 3 gallons of tea and 40 lbs of ice every 3 days, However, I don't drink milk
( maybe a glass every 6 months if that much ) I don't drink coffee unless I happen to be shopping at targets and will grab a coffee from starbucks ( maybe once every 2 weeks ? ) Don't drink cokes, koolaid, any kind of soft drinks flav waters
(unless it's the summer and I'll drink propel-waters at the pool)

So to really be honest, my tea is all I do drink all day long. The ice comes in 9lbs bags, however, it's more than 9 lbs in each bag, it's more like 10 lbs.

I will fill up a 64 oz plastic cup to the rim with ice and about half way with tea. or I will just fill the glass with ice alone, If the ice melts( and it usually does) I 'll drink the melted ice water.

I have a very very low iron level (hence the craving for ice ) my iron level is 5 when it should be 10-11 I have been this way since the birth of my 19 year old DD. but only since my 10 year old was born have i craved so much ice and tea, now it's more of a habit than a craving. I can tell you this, I'm totally addicted to the tea, if I dont drink some kind of tea all day I get a terrible headache that will led me into a migraine before the day is out. I also dont drink homemade tea, I buy all my tea form Windixie premade their brand, it's not sweet nor is it bitter, everyone that drinks it says it doesn't have enough sugar, I find it's just perfect for my taste tho.

As far as knowing how much water the ice would be if it's melted, well my glass is 64 oz and if i let the ice completely melt ( from the bottom to rim with ice ) it's about 2/3 to 3/4 full of water.

HTH's

Doesn't all that ice break your teeth? I got all these mercury fillings when I was younger, and eating ice makes them all brittle, and they break - causing me to have to get Root Canals. Not fun!!
