Oops... great thread, its really interesting to see what people are missing the most .

Sorry to those that have accidentally started any cravings off by asking what you miss the most.

Wine. I couldn't fathom a Friday night without at least a bottle of wine being drunk maybe even more! Starbucks - I used to love a grande latte (full fat) and skinny lemon poppyseed muffin. When I first started on the diet, I said, when I am in maintenance I will have a Grande Latte and muffin once a week on a Friday. Not in maintenance yet but now I realise I can live without the muffin (they are kinda dry and rubbery!) and the lattes I have replaced with Grande Black Americano which I love - so much that there is no need to go back to lattes.

They are the main 2 things, those fixes - the coffee fix in the morning and the booze fix in the evening, particularly the weekend - I will go back to drinking occasionally but now it takes a glass or 2 not a bottle or 2, and to maintain that "lightweightness" I will keep it to once or twice a week. And if I can't keep it to that, well, maybe I have to consider whether I should be drinking at all.

I never thought I could live without milk in tea, curry and chinese = oh and cheese and bread!
I now drink black coffee with a sweetner and won't go back to milk.

I've since found out, since being on this diet, that I have a dairy intolerance - so no milk for me!! lol I don't even miss it now ... isn't it weird how our taste change???
And any cravings I've had have been for healthy foods not the crap I used to eat.

Much love, chelle xx

I am soooo happy I'm not the only one who had a cheese addiction!!!

Now I've read the other posts I have the confidence to say

Red wine!

I'm still looking forward to a glass whenever I get back to normal food!
