What foods did you used to eat but NEVER buy anymore?

Judging by your spelling you should probably add alcohol to your list.

Forzen pizza

Organge sherbet

Hillarious!

Gave up sandwich meats. And I haven't had marshmallow fluff in many, many years. (I used to specialize in those fluffernutter sandwiches. I doubt they were helping me, even when I was running ten a day; I'm sure they'd be no help now. Actually, the thought of them is making me queasy.)

I've given up a lot more, now that I think about it. (Obviously I don't miss most of it, or the specific items would have come to mind immediately.) That little heart attack was very motivating...

Steel cut oats

beets

Greek yogurt

quinoa

Wheat germ

Alphabet soup. I hate capital letters when there is no need for them

Why stop salmon and avocado? ......Including wild caught salmon

Hingle, no more booze for a while, eh?

I've been conscious about what I eat for a while, but there are some things I used to eat that I thought were healthy, but really aren't. To make this thread more helpful, I've included what I replaced the items with:

- Sugar-Free Soda/Drinks ---> Water, Sparkling Water with Natural Flavor (like La Croix), Izze (has real sugar, but from fruit juice)

- Sugar-Free Gum ---> N/A except the occasional Tic-Tacs

- Sugar-Free Yogurt ---> Low-Fat Cottage Cheese I mix with no sugar added apple sauce and cinnamon

- Sugar-Free Syrup ---> Real Maple Syrup

- Bread/Bagels ---> Gluten-Free Bread for sandwiches, no other bread-like products.

- Soy Milk ---> Almond Milk or 1% (real) Milk if not available.

- Lean Cuisine frozen meals ---> Amy's frozen meals and soups

- Slim-Fast Bars ---> Lara Bars

- Granola Bars ---> Bananas w/ Natural PB

- Special K Cereal ---> Plain oatmeal with blueberries and banana or Gluten-Free Puffin cereal with banana

- Processed Sandwich Cheese ---> Real cheese

- Pretzels ---> Natural almonds (no salt or sugar), baby carrots, Pirate's Booty

I'm sure someone will still argue about my current picks, but I do think they are healthier than the originals. Instead of being concerned with low-calorie, low-fat, low-sugar crap, I try to now eat more nutrient-dense foods that don't have artificial ingredients. I've actually lost weight this way.

I hope you realize that dreaming/recalling your dreams actually means you're sleeping lighter and getting LESS REM sleep, not more.

You have more than sleep issues. You're a moron too.

Studies have provided evidence suggesting tremendous variation in brain activity during sleep. This has been demonstrated using EEG technology. Scientists have identified five distinct stages of sleep, characterized by differences in brain activity. Stages 1-4 and a final stage labeled rapid eye movement (REM) sleep. When awakened during REM sleep, subjects report dreaming. With the development of new brain imaging technology in the early 1990’s we learned even more about brain activity during REM sleep. Researchers found that certain areas of the brain are extremely active during the REM sleep state, even more active than being awake. Studies have shown that certain visual areas of the human cortex, which decode complex visual scenes, are significantly more active during REM sleep. Intense activity is also observed in the limbic system, which is a set of structures heavily involved in human emotion.
