What won't you give up?

[REattempt]

Hmmmm....

Forget LCHF, plant based, Dukan, Atkins, Pritikin, Ornish...let's leave Oz for a moment.

Independent of what your approach to diet, exercise or health...

What won't you give up?

Me? Gin and Tonics and Red Wine.

 

[Alan]

While I love my glass of red wine and square of dark chocolate each day, I would give them up if I was sure they were bad.

There is really nothing I would refuse to eat or drink if I thought it was bad for me.

 

[Mulligan]

I wont give up my weekly bag of potato chips and my Dr. Pepper 10. Other than that I watch what I eat in the traditional sense. I like my whole grains too much to ever change.

 

[Gumby]

I love good food and good wine. But just as there is virtually nothing that I won't eat, there is nothing I couldn't live without if necessary.

 

[W2R]

I have given up my morning coffee a number of times, but always end up returning to that habit after a few months, or even weeks. So, it hasn't been permanent despite my best of intentions.

I did sort of compromise, in that I limit myself to one or two cups of half strength coffee.

 

[Bestwifeever]

It would be really hard for me to give up salt--we don't cook with it but add it to taste afterward.

Coffee in the morning would be almost impossible for me to give up too.

 

[dmdunca44]

Probably coffee. I COULD give up my wine if my health depended on it.

 

[CyclingInvestor]

Red wine
Red meat

 

[harley]

Whiskey or single malt scotch (and I don't even drink that much. But I like it). And salmon. And reading. If I knew it would kill me tomorrow I'd probably quit, but if I was told it would eventually kill me I'd keep going. Nobody gets out alive.

 

[ShortInSeattle]

I gave up my daily mocha 3 weeks ago, and it's been rough. I'm down 5 pounds though, so starting my day without sugar- caffeine-palooza is clearly good for me.

 

[jclarksnakes]

Sushi.

+1 for both salt and coffee...and add beer.

 

[farmerEd]

Coffee would be the hardest for me to give up, by far.

I actually did give up alcohol entirely in an attempt to regulate my sleep patterns better, and I have to say, every since going 'dry', I am able to stick to a regular sleep schedule. Something in the alcohol, even a couple of beers, that would give me insomnia.

 

[eytonxav]

Ya'll are being too good. For me it would be coffee, pizza and other misc pastas. I'm doomed.

 

[My Dream]

If this is "forever", for me it would be salt, any form of alcohol & cheese.

 

[MichaelB]

There are many things we enjoy, but none more than life itself.

 

[Tree-dweller]

A local rib vendor may have a point...

Pizza!

Hardly ever have it, but would be sorry to think I'd never have it again.

 

[Major Tom]

I have to agree with Alan and MichaelB. There is no food item that I wouldn't give up if it turned out to be a health risk. However many more decades I get in this life it will still be a very short time, so I want to be here as long as possible.

 

[REWahoo]

Saliva.

 

[Backpacker]

Milk and Cookies

[obgyn65]

I won't give up missionary projects abroad to help the less fortunate with the provision of free health care.

I already gave the pizza and pastas up. It was incredibly hard, since they were pretty much my favorite foods. But since they will kill me, but slowly and painfully, I did it. If it would be fast and painless I'd probably keep on eating them.

 

[Sarah in SC]

I don't imagine that I will discover something I eat or drink will actually kill me, so I took the OP's question as what would I not want to give up "wanting" to have.
In that case, beer. Which I suppose could kill me, but probably not all at once!
And I'd not want to give up pointing out my DH's shortcomings when they become apparent.
