What are some of the (strange) things that stall you?

[knicknack]

Hi everyone!

It occurred to me as I was eating sour cream today that I have no idea what things cause me to stall. I also know that there are people on here who know exactly what types of things make them stall.

So, I thought it might be a good idea to have a thread where people report what stalls them (though not necessarily everyone) so that people can check out likely culprits when they think they might be stalling due to something they're eating.

The ones that I know stall some people are: artificial sweeteners, frankenfoods, and cheese.

So here it is folks: What strange things make you stall?

For me, I've noticed that if I don't eat real meals, I tend to lose less weight. So, eating things like cheese/salami and pickles for lunch instead of having a tuna salad - no good for me. It still works, but not nearly as well.

Meat. Eating meat will guarantee that I don't lose anything. I ONLY lose on days after I've eaten only dairy and eggs.

Which is why I'm not losing right now, I suspect.....

I haven't really discovered any stalls yet. Hmmmm....something to ponder. I know there are things I have to be careful with because I will overeat them for no reason at all (cream cheese).

I learned last time that if I start picking, a bite here and a bite there of things I shouldnt be eating I will stall immediately.

Other than that frankenfoods will do it every time and an excess of cream cheese/sour cream.

Since I lose so dang slow, it's hard to tell. I know that if I make a recipe that has cream cheese or sour cream in it, the scales move in a bad direction. That doesn't mean I can't have them, I just can't have MUCH of them. I have to limit those to no more than once a week.


Olives... I LOVE black olives! But they are a trigger for me. I'll put the maximum allowed on a salad, but if I know the rest of the can is in the fridge, I'll finish them.

Can't wait to hear more!

I think heavy cream will definitely stall me,and it's also a trigger food.I was so pissed because on the carton it says Zero carbs but when I put it in on fitday it had a gazillion carbs.what's up with that?

Anything that looks like cheese, taste like cheese, and cheese; pickles of any form, nature, and color; frankenfoods of any kind, shape, size, and taste...blaahhh; Salt; and porkrinds.

Hmmmm...

Donuts.. definitley donuts... and ice cream... cant have that anymore.. no spagetti either..

For reals? Havent found any stall foods yet, cause I dont weigh myself but once a month, but I know that if I have heavy cream (except to lighten coffee), I want a LOT MORE cream... and I had mushrooms on my salad yesterday, and spent the whole day craving sweets, and that was the only thing different I did, dunno if it was higher carb count in them or what... and pickles make me crave chocolate, which is psychologically related to my roomates in college, I know, but I cant seem to break it.

So far, nothing stalls me - but I'm one whose scale doesn't move that often either. Up until this week, my scale only moved 1 week out of 4 and next week was my scheduled scale moving week. Well my body pulled a fast one on me and dropped two pounds this week, which is fine, as long as it still gives me my scheduled loss next week...... otherwise, we're gonna have words I tell ya!!

The few items I eat on a regular basis don't seem to adversely affect me, so I haven't given anything up. I do know now not to eat too much watermelon though (gas and upset tummy!)
