**List The Foods That Caused You To Be FAT!**

SweetPoison2 · 03-27-2009, 08:44 AM

I just got this idea from Klingon ~ list the foods that got you overweight ~ that got you to the darkside!

Mine:

Pizza
Pizza
Pizza
Roundtable Pizza
Baskin N Robbins
Fudge
anything chocolate with milk
Basically whatever I wanted when I wanted it

And ~

I eat when I am happy ~ not when I am sad! I am not an emotional eater at all ~

heatherdazy · 03-27-2009, 09:04 AM

Interesting! Let's see...

Anything and everything made by hostess
Chex mix, all varieties
Theater popcorn
Mrs Fields (I always did the buy 3 get 1 free! Yuck!)
Nachos
Potato chips
Ice cream
Candy of all types

As you can see, my problem was definitely snacks and treats...!

Momto2boysNJ · 03-27-2009, 09:06 AM

ice cream
lasagna
mashed potatoes
stuffing

steady · 03-27-2009, 09:07 AM

All cereals, pretzels, bread, low-fat cakes & cookies & ice cream.

pocahontas · 03-27-2009, 09:09 AM

pizza
mexican food
sourdough bread
tortillas
sushi (my beloved sushi

)
ice cream
candy
potatoes
donuts
Doritos

batwing · 03-27-2009, 09:11 AM

french fries
pizza
cookies
pop tarts
garlic bread spaghetti sandwiches (you know, leftover spaghetti piled between two slices of garlic bread...)

ETA: the spaghetti sandwiches are eaten cold and are drunk food. Which probably means that whiskey has something to do with being fat too.

I've never heard of that! Sounds like something I would have loved!

AkGirl79 · 03-27-2009, 09:19 AM

Hmmm, my list could be rather long!

Anything Recees (cups, eggs, ice cream, etc.)
Cheetos
Baked sweets (donuts, cake, danish)

Not so much taters & pasta....but sweet and salty.

xo ashley · 03-27-2009, 09:23 AM

frozen pizza's and candy.

ate both of those things last month, and regretted it. didn't taste as good as they did before, and they made me feel super sick.

heatherdazy · 03-27-2009, 09:31 AM

It's true! I would get the honeybuns, the mini-donuts, the little fruit pies, the ding-dongs, the cupcakes...!

godsbeloved79 · 03-27-2009, 09:35 AM

pizza
fries
Pepsi/Mountain Dew
ice cream
all types of candy
the list goes on; but I won't go any further!

LCKaren · 03-27-2009, 09:36 AM

Good Lord...how much time do you have? I was not particularly discriminating in what I over-ate...

icandoit · 03-27-2009, 09:52 AM

What made me fat in the first time in my life (19 years old) was working at my uncles BBQ place!! There was sugary BBQ sauce, sugar beans, sugary lemonade, most things fried, strawberry shortcake, all kinds of pie and sandwiches!!

MNLisaB · 03-27-2009, 10:04 AM

I have a problem with portion control and could probably get into competitive eating ...

Anyway, if I could have controlled portion size, I may have been able to still eat things like:
breads, cakes, corn, rice, potatoes, bagels, pizza, pasta, etc

I have found I can still gain weight even if I stick to lc- by just over eating good things, like: nuts, cheese, too large portions of protein

Mule_Freak · 03-27-2009, 10:06 AM

Pop Tarts
Life Cereal
any type of buttery flakey type pastry goodie
BIG icing Sugar cookies (the ones that are super soft and gooey)
just loads of sweet treats

Ladidah · 03-27-2009, 10:22 AM

Sweets. Mostly ice cream. If I had ice cream one day I *had* to have it every day.

Yup me too! Watch out! I may be your biggest competition in that eating contest.

lalala · 03-27-2009, 10:40 AM

It's interesting because I never ate pizza, burgers, popcorn, or any greasy type food. I always ate salads and chicken breasts and low-fat meal type stuff....

then I'd eat:

-candy (especially swedish fish, sour patch kids, cow tales, laffy taffy, hot tamales, and pb cups)
-frosting (yes I ate this straight from the tub)
-dried fruit (sugar covered mango, pineapple and papaya were the main types I loved)
-once a month a slice of cake
-cereal (in portions way larger than I needed)
-lots of yogurt and cottage cheese (it was mostly portion size that was off here as opposed to the actual food being bad)

Alison Jean 71 · 03-27-2009, 10:40 AM

Waffles (frosted with butter) and syrup
Mixing bowls of Lucky Charms and Capt'N Crunch
McDonalds
Pizza (we used to eat it practically every Friday)
Pretty much all the foods that are marketed to children... fruit snacks, pudding in a cup crap crap crap

lexley · 03-27-2009, 10:46 AM

pizza
pancakes
french fries
zebra cakes
olive garden breadsticks
bloomin onions

Wolfgang · 03-27-2009, 10:48 AM

None on their own caused me to gain weight, but in conjunction with moderate fat and high protein, the extra carbs just went straight to fat. Funny thing is, most of them read like a nutritionist's dream:

Skim milk (used to be my pre- and post-workout drink)
100% Whole wheat bread
Whole wheat pasta
Brown rice
Basmati rice
Steel cut oatmeal
Fiber-one bars
Unsweetened Cheerios
Pineapple (with my cottage cheese)
French dressing (on my salads)
Polaner All-Fruit jam
Pizza (a few slices every couple of weeks)
Pancakes (a short stack about once a month)
Chinese vegetable fried rice
Chinese vegetable lo-mein noodles
Orange juice

I'd say those account for about 90% of what I've given up entirely, with great results.

How about what I eat MORE of now?

Broccoli
Cauliflower
Flax meal cereal
Egg creams
Veggie Omelets
Spinach and Romaine salads with HB eggs
Blue cheese dressing
Myoplex Carb Control protein shakes (post-workout)
Mozzarella cheese sticks
Morningstar Farms Grillers Prime Veggie Burgers (2g net carbs each)

All in all, not a bad trade off. I can live with this, particularly since I'm just hardly ever hungry anymore. I eat for pre-workout fuel, post-workout building blocks, taste, and variety, not because I'm starving 3 times a day and at least hungry most of the rest of the time.

Sleepy · 03-27-2009, 10:59 AM

anything made with pasta....and LOTS of it

SmileySue · 03-27-2009, 11:02 AM

Only one food group made me fat - processed food.

All the white stuff, like pizza, bread, pasta etc., etc.

Funny, I don't even miss it now....

LadyPeacock · 03-27-2009, 11:03 AM

Donuts are my kryptonite!! That and pizza.

KOO · 03-27-2009, 11:03 AM

Pillsbury Flaky biscuits
Icecream

maryvit · 03-27-2009, 11:20 AM

[QUOTE=MNLisaB;11755353]I have a problem with portion control and could probably get into competitive eating ...

yep - pizza - i know not the meaning of the word *moderation*

thestreets · 03-27-2009, 11:24 AM

Truthfully, I don;t see the point of a thread like this. We all know what got us to where we are, no need to keep thinking about it and re-living it. Why keep dwelling on these foods?

I worry that reading this list will cause someone to get cravings for these foods.

AprilW · 03-27-2009, 11:29 AM

Soda
Candy
cake
cookies
Bread-I still love the smell of the bread isle.:blush:
Donuts
basically anything sweet. I ate tons of it. You name it, I probably ate it.
