Your Kryptonite foods *the foods that ruin your diet*

[EvinHoll]

It is suggested that peanut butter cravings appear when one's diet is lack of vit B or inefficient in dietary fat. Also when a person is very stressed and exhausted.

That last part is my whole life lol

Brb, talking to my therapist, Dr. Peanut Butter

When I swam in college people would fight over peanut butter. I once watched a guy eat two containers of the stuff. I at least had the self control to only eat one (during certain parts of the season we swam four hours a day and no food was safe from us. The local Subway would run out of meat and cheese).

peanut butter here too. dark chocolate. cake. candy.

[FullOfWit]

Peanut butter. Peanut butter. Peanut butter. Peanut butter.

Granola bars.

[wakechica]

If I ignore cravings it's not a problem... it's once I give in. Cake cake and cake.

First and foremost it's crunchy almond butter, the first jar I ever got I ate in 2 days, oops! Then peanut butter, has to be crunchy though. To a lesser extent anything with chocolate or homemade baked goods or ice cream. I love to bake and find that I have to avoid sampling whatever dough/batter I'm making or I end up having more than just a taste, like a lot more.

Bacon cheeseburger with peanut butter on the bun. Ungodly good...

[Lorig3318]

Ice cream and the "bad" type of trail mix

[steph110us]

This may sound dumb, but I am so happy to see that I'm not the only one who has certain foods that kill there clean eating. I mean I knew that pretty much everyone has those foods but sometimes I'm just like darn it these cravings are ridiculous sometimes.

[Emilyr0011]

Ugh - pizza and chips. Especially if they are cheesy garlic bread sticks and Cheetos/Doritos.

Oh, and almond butter. I'll tell myself at the store that I'll eat proper portions and only on heavy days, but once it's in the house the jar is gone within a day or 2.

[steph110us]

Just tried the whipped peanut butter it is great!

[charissanicole]

Mine is definitely white wine and coconut milk ice cream. Especially the second one.

[viccles007]

Peanut butter..ohh I love so much but fat makes me feel sick

[rachelremnant]

Yoghurt with fruit and cereal. Once I start I just can't stop refilling the bowl! I've had to limit myself to only having it at breakfast!

[XXbrittXX]

I'll have to try the chromium and probiotic thing cause I have a huge sweet tooth as well

Crap I have never thought to do that... I have a bad sweet tooth , it doesn't help that I love baking

[missbellejane]

Chocolate - just plain Cadbury Dairy Milk chocolate. I'm terrible once I start.

[nycag04]

Need details on this whipped pb.

Let's see...cereal, peanut butter, baked goods, CANDY. I'm ok if I don't start. Cereal is ALWAYS in my house - my husband eats 2 boxes a week - and I just have to pretend it isn't there. Once hand enters box of cereal, all bets are off. I turn into a crazy carb monster.

[violetelectric]

I have no problem avoiding the things I know I shouldn't have - takeaways, sweets, cookies, beer etc... It's the things that are supposed to be good for you that I struggle with.

I could easily sit and munch an entire box of Bran Flakes, museli of any sort, granola etc.
If I eat one slice of crusty bread, I'm liable to eat half the loaf (with an obscene amount of butter).
Nuts, raisins, fruit.... it's all bound to kickstart a food-tracking derailment.

[adreztia]

Pizza! It's just so darn good

[courtzbv]

Burgers, all the burgers! And pizza and hot chips. I can ignore sugar but when it comes to anything savoury look out! :/

[Jakkrobbit]

I have a major sweet tooth. Just a month ago, I was getting myself a slice of cake or a couple of cookies at the bakery a few times a week. My biggest enemy are Reese's peanut butter cups, though. I'm so glad I quick my second job when school started; I worked the cafe inside a gym. On slow nights, I'd be sitting there surrounded by food, and despite being a GYM, we sold candy and cookies. I dropped a few pounds just by leaving the place.

Giving up most of the sweets has been easier than I thought it'd be. I guess aiming to get more fiber and protein in my diet has caused me to stuff satisfied, so I don't get that many cravings. Last major craving I got was last week when I bought a bar Lindt white chocolate, but managed to make it last 3 or 4 days. I purposed switched to Lactaid instead of regular milk because it taste sweeter. A glass of that, and I'm set. Also, an apple with whipped peanut butter has become my new favorite thing. Peanut butter taste amazing when you're not eating cakes and cookies three times a week. Speaking of, here's some nutritional facts for regular Whips if anyone's interested:

Also, I found this image while browsing around a while back. I saved it to my computer and phone so I can refer to it any time I get a craving for something. It's saved me from making stupid decisions a few times. Feel free to chime in if any of the info on it is way off, though. Here's hoping it actually attaches to my comment.

[viccles007]

Back in the day when I used to crave stuff I could eat a whole jar of biscuits in one go. Usually shortbread. Other favorites include red frogs, lolly bananas, ice-cream yummmm

[steph110us]

I forgot to mention my love of frosted mini wheats, if I'm having a bad morning I can eat half the box lol

[Jess921j]

This season is the worst for my diet! Starbuck's brings back its Pumpkin Spiced Latte.....I am not a big coffee drinker nor do I really ever go to Starbucks...But when the bring back that Latte I die! I can't resist it! Weakness!

[FlyWeightPhenXX]

hard liquor.... and fatty meats and cheese... deadly combo and I'm completely aware they do absolutely nothing for me yet I keep indulging 0_0

[Artemisia510b]

Stout beer, cookie dough ice cream, salted caramel mocha.

[Cchavez1319]

Anything chocolate AND peanut butter together.... I'll eat it ALL!! I just avoid keeping it in the house. Except the Natural PB. The only ingredients are peanuts and salt. I find that helps

[Vicque]

Kettlebrand Kettle cooked Jalopeno chips. I can eat the entire bag by myself in one sitting. Also cookies.

[DulceJello]

donuts. i have an ungodly love for donuts I never buy them however I will scarf down 3 of them if someone puts them in front of my face

[RandaDerkson]

I'm not sure if this counts as a kryptonite food but definitely wine. Have to limit myself because I know if I have one glass, another is right on its tail! haha

No ideas of alternatives though. Maybe try eating just peanuts instead of the m&ms?

Wine for me too. One glass is never enough and then I get really hungry. Chocolate cravings emerge and it just gets out of control from there.
