What is your worst healthy eating " crime"?

Crisps, cheese and mint Aero.

I like a little food with my salt.

Starbursts, more starbursts, even more starbursts with a few more thrown in for good health

Try the sable ones if you love grapes. Available in Sainsbury's and Aldi's. They're lovely.

I think we all need to get away from thinking that eating certain foods is a 'crime'. In my late teens I had an eating disorder (these weren't even heard of in the 70s). I read a great book called 'Fat is a feminist Issue' and it changed my thinking on eating and loving my body as it is.

Recently I have read 'The Beauty Myth' by Naomi Kline. Although it was written in 1990 it is even more relevant today. She writes about how women are encouraged to believe that there is always something 'wrong' with the way they look.

I'm not having a 'go' at anyone on here but really feel that this idea that food is a 'sin' and we should all feel 'guilty' about eating certain things only fuels womens' unhealthy attitude to food. Susie Orbach discusses all this in her book.

There's nothing wrong with us looking after our bodies and health but I really cringe when words like 'sin' etc are used around food.

I've recommended these books to my daughter who also has an eating disorder and to anyone else. I think every woman should read them.

Rant over.

Yes, it's ridiculous that some slimming organisation label foods as 'sins' ?

Wonder how many on here would say that they wish they weighed the same as they did when first going on 'diets'?

I prefer to stick to low carb but nothing is off the menu if I really want it. Luckily for me I rarely 'crave' foods that I know should only be eaten in moderation so I don't pile on pounds.

But I have seen what the mantra 'everything in moderation' means to some who quote it and the word 'moderation' seems to have been misinterpreted ?

Hot, buttered crumpets, preferably with enough butter that it runs down my chin ? (I'm saving myself by fasting twice a week...)

Cheese and onion crisp sandwiches or chip butties with chips from the chip shop (or both }

It has to be cheese and biscuits, or a bowl of special k, plain, with sliced banana. Or plain yogurt Greek one drizzled with honey

I love salt and proper butter. I've stopped buying crisps as I need to lose weight - if I buy a six-pack I simply can't resist them and demolish them in around two days.

Thanks to this thread I have bought and eaten my first pack of marmite crisps. Delicious and as my usual "crime" is sugar I will be buying more.

I am guilty of so many eating sins, according to the food police, whom I ignore, that it would be difficult to choose a worst.

Ladies, I have to share this for those lovers of Haagen Dazs (and who isn't?!). I have just this minute scoffed one of their new ice cream on sticks salted caramel flavour. Absolute bliss. I did try for raspberry and mango but they were sold out. All from a magazine ad, I might add. Pack of three. One down. Mmmmmm.......

At one point in my life crisps were good for me. My body told me this while I was breast-feeding my youngest daughter. I craved the salty fattiness of crisps. Once She was weaned I no longer wanted to eats crisps. Anyhow, because of that experience, I simply refuse to believe that eating crisps is necessarily a bad thing.

Likewise custard creams. That is what eldest daughter demanded, so to speak, in her milk. I have hardly touched those biscuits since then (they'd be soft by now anyhow ).

Should have added feeling this good could never be sinful in anyone's terms!

Crumpets thickly spread with butter. Home made crusty bread with butter and marmite. And crisps - lots of crisps

Fruit cake, home made by me - I have to say that my fruit cake is legendary- but so is the size of my bum!

Hagen Dazs, Salted Caramel ice cream. Yum!

I agree with Mawbroon. There's nothing 'naughty ' or 'sinful' about enjoying your food. The food police enrage me too. Incidentally, I don't believe you'd ever find any of this terrible guilt and angst with regard to culinary enjoyment on a male dominated thread. Rise up women and stuff your face with donuts whenever you want to. Set yourselves free!!!

It's 2.30am and I now want crumpets with marmite and peanut butter on and I haven't got any

6:41 a.m. The chocolate digestives have run out. I might have to have porridge for breakfast .

At this time of year it is definitely Cornetto's

For me it's sweet things: cakes, biscuits, puddings CHOCOLATE! I'm not that bothered about cheese, crisps, alcohol, though enjoy them when offered. Just don't crave them and could live without them. My DiL is obsessed with avoiding sugar (including hidden added sugar) and other carbs but I can't cope without a taste of something sweet after a meal. I try to be sensible by limiting 'puds' to fresh or stewed fruit (with sweetener) or flavoured low fat yoghurts (which she sees as really bad) . Rarely have a real stodgy pudding these days. But I have to have a biscuit with my after noon cuppa! Try to limit it to one (or two!) and usually only buy rich tea or malted milk.

Easy - sticking my fingers in a jar of peanut butter whilst listening to The Archers......sublime!

Cheese, I can't live without it. Coffee has to have 2 tsps of sugar to hit the spot (no more than 2 mugs a day). Cheese & onion crisps, Cheddars, Doritos, all shared with my cat

Chocolate, dark only & at least 75% if possible.
Lurpak slightly salted on good bread.

Porridge with fruit & syrup

Can't resist a Devon cream tea, my move to Devon has led me to having at least 1 a month

Do I feel guilty? NO
