you better believe it!!! Oh and any of those diet chocolate bars that are half the sizes of a real candy bar with 1/4 of the flavor...why bother! I just stay away, not going to feed the craving with something that doesn't even come close

All of them.  I prefer the real thing.

edit: Although I will admit, I do eat light sour cream because I truthfully cannot tell the difference.  I need to look at the ingredients next time I buy it though.  I never thought about that. 

fat free cream cheese - I'll have a little less of the reduced fat stuff, thank you. (same goes for fat free cottage cheese.)

 

I love rice cakes o_o  They're amazingggg, and for 50 calories for a sugary one and only 35 for a salted....I think it's worth it xD


I HATE that "No Calorie" Chocolate Dip.  Tastes like sweet n' low mixed with something worse.

And Powerade Option water...it has HFCS in it!  EWWWW!!!!

I love rice cakes too, skyeskye! Haha. I couldn't live without them.

I could do without diet sodas. Yuck. Whether aspartame is bad for you or not, it makes stuff taste HORRIBLE!

toffuti "better then cream cheese"

fat free yogurt

fat free ice cream

fat free salad dressing

"meal replacement" bars and shakes

Fat free cheese and fat free cream cheese. There's nothing cheese-like about it!

Anything with aspartame. So scary!

Low cal salad dressing with crazy amounts of salt.

Gross "diet" frozen dinners with rubbery meat and mushy vegetables and more salt than I normally eat in a day.

Fish

Eggplant

100 calorie packs. I make my own with plastic baggies.

1 tbs of "brownulated" brown sugar is not even close to equaling 1 tbs regular brown sugar.


Any kind of fat free salad dressing, but particularly Fat Free Ranch. What possesses these people to think that replacing fat with sugar makes it all better? ICK

Oh, and WTF is Fat Free half and half -- I call that expensive skim milk and water

ALmost all meal replacement bars, snack bars, energy/power bars, etc. 

Edit: and ALL 100 calorie pack snacks - such a rip off.
I do without a lot of "diet" foods, like the frozen dinners and 100 calorie packs and whatnot, but I will do the nonfat or low fat thing and it doesn't bother me.  Sometimes I don't because the nutritional sacrifice is too great in my opinion, but I can't really think of any diet food that I truly can't stand!  I've been sitting here thinking about it for a while! haha =P

100 cal packs

frozen dinners

meal replacement anythings

protein bars

margerine

lettuce

special k

special k, slimfast, 100 calorie anything, fat free cheese, fat free cream cheese

Yes, 100 calorie packs.  Only worth it if I'm dying for a sweet thing and know I'll eat too much if I have something besides just a pack.

bsweetea- I know!  They're just wonderful =3

Hershey's Lite Chocolate Syrup

Diet Cherry Coke [I never drink regular soda in the first place, but DCC tastes like carbonated cough syrup!!!]

Tofu Shirataki noodles, I know some people like them, but it's nothing like good ol' regular pasta cooked al dente.

i second the shirataki noodles. those things are nasty, and they stink!

I don't know if they exist in America but the 'Snack A Jack' gets a big thumbs down from me.  A type of mini rice-cake sold as a low fat substitute for potato crisps, covered in luridly coloured and strangely flavoured powders.   I had a 'cheese' one once and it was unbelieveably awful!  To misquote Cosby "They're like eating sweaty feet, but sweaty feet taste better" 
  • Fat free shredded cheeses
  • Shirataki noodles
  • 100 Calorie Packs
  • Special K
  • Fiber One
Basically, anything Hungry Girl likes.
-Fat free cheese

-Fiber one (tastes like cardboard)

-Fat free margerine (How the hell is that possible?)

Aw I love a lot of these things people are mentioning they hate. Rice cakes rock, as does fiber one.

- Fat free cheese
- Salad 'spritzers'. Nasty nasty
- Spray butter
- Light salad dressing (unless its italian)
- Tofu Shirataki noodles
- 100 calorie pack hostess cupcakes
- Sugar free chocolate

I used to put nutella on rice cakes... they tasted great.. but I think it was defeating the object.
