Default Food you've given up and feel better for it

I gave up sugar years ago, and could write paragraphs about how much better I feel due to not eating it.

I don't eat the sugar substitutes either. I tried them, but they make the body very acid, among other nasty effects.

I also rarely use any packaged or prepared foods. It's a bit more work to make things from scratch, but doing without the preservatives, additives, etc. is a great boon.

There are a few more on my list, but maybe you've got a few, too.

Anyone leave something behind and feel better for it?

Great Post! I also gave up some things that made me healthier not eating them. I used to salt everything I ate. Now I don't salt anything. There are more salt in the canned and packaged foods than what you need. Now I don't like anything too salty. I try to watch both my Sugar and Starch intake. Both are very fattening. Its amazing how a person can develop bad eating habits and not realize it. I love fresh Vegetables and Salads, and they are a lot better for you than a lot of the packaged foods.

I gave up salt a long time ago. Even eggs and potatoes go unsalted. I also gave up Hot Dogs due to a stomache ailmant when I was 17. 25 years later and I don't miss them at all.

There is a burger chain in Wichita, (I won't name it) that has the very best burgers & fries in the world. I get less grease & oil on me when I service my vehicles than when I eat there.
I rarely ever visit there now.

Sharon has had her Gall Bladder removed, and if she eats real greasy food it makes her sick at her stomach. There are a few places around here that we have to avoid.
