Eating things that you shouldn't...
Does anybody do this? I have a mild allergy to nuts, and ordinarily, I couldn't give a crap, coz I am not a huge fan...BUT I love macadamia nuts - raw, roasted, in cookies, in the butter form, and especially macadamia nut butter stuffed in whole medjool dates. When I eat them, I get a tummy ache and a headache and I break out in eczema and sometimes hives...but I still choose to consume them :o
Does anybody else eat things they know have consequences, but still do it just coz it is so yummy?

I sometimes drink Carob Vitasoy (small pack, 250 ml) for a quick lunch when I am at work or whatever. It actually makes me feel a bit sick but it is yummy! :p
Re: Eating things that you shouldn't...
Nuts, I love them. Especially pistachios!. Love macadarmia but rarely get them as they are so dear over here.
Re: Eating things that you shouldn't...
I have been drinking too much coffee which makes me anxious but I love it - but have given it up finally for the last few weeks.
I have yet to give up vegetable margarine but I am going to have to do it. I *love* vegemite on toast in the morning, but know how bad trans fats are for me too - so will have to find an alternative.
I haven't had alcohol for several weeks too and surprisingly, don't miss it at all!
I have run out of things that are bad for me that I shouldn't consume! Too much whole wheat toast?!
Maybe Banana, you could pop vegan white chocolate in the dates and put them briefly in a warm oven so it melts a little and then either chill them or eat them warm and soft? To replace the macadamia butter.

Veganblue, whats the name of the vegan white choc, where can I get it from, sounds yummy!!.
Re: Eating things that you shouldn't...
I remember Banana having spoken about it a while back - I am sure she will let us know where to find it :) :) :)
Not really into much chocolate myself except for a little high cocoa dark chocolate now and then but I have some white chocolate flavoured soy milk in the fridge that I am yet to try :D
Re: Eating things that you shouldn't...
OMG veganblue you are a GENIOUS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :D - But I still love the macadamia nuts - even more than the chocolate. But nonetheless, what an amazing idea :)
Re: Eating things that you shouldn't...
Oranges and other citrus fruits give me sinus pressure headaches. I still love them. Grapes also do the same thing.
So guess what I had in my lunch? Grapes and orange juice! :p I'll be paying for it in a hour or so....
Re: Eating things that you shouldn't...
Too much carbs (though no refine, only whole-grain)
Too many sweets
Too large portions
:(
Re: Eating things that you shouldn't...
i don't have a definite allergy to wheat but it does seem to make me feel ill if i eat it so i think i have an intolerance. it gives me a bad stomach ache and makes me feel tired. but i do love pasta and bread, unfortunately most wheat-free pastas and breads are either horrible or REALLY expensive. so occasionally i eat some wheat :o although i try to restrict it
like Veganblue i'm also sensitive to coffee, it gives me palpitations and anxiety. i hardly ever drink it these days, but sometimes i give in and have the occasional soyaccino. ;)
Re: Eating things that you shouldn't...
I have IBS and I *really* shouldn't eat spicy food, but I love a curry! (Taking peppermint oil or tesa after helps)

:o :o :o Sounds wickedly high in sugar but a treat every now and then is ok :D
Do you remember the name of the vegan white chocolate, Banana? I think Tails is having cravings :D
Re: Eating things that you shouldn't...
It was a brand called Leibers, but I haven't seen it for a while. I saw a new brand yesterday though, but I forget what company. If Tails is intersted, I can organise to send him some....

Leibers! I will have to see if I can find them here!
Tailsforwagging is interested in some white chocolate - I was wanting to send her some if we have some good stuff here :)

Someone told me Sweet William Chocolate wasn't vegan - it is - but in a moment of weakness (being a new vegan and being a bit pissed) I surrendered - the guilt the next day was gone when I found out it is vegan...don't read labels when you're drunk...lol. I still didn't appreciate the trick.
I am a massive fan of Sweet William Tangerine Soy Chocolate...it tastes like Terry's Chocolate Orange (which I used to love - to me it smelt like christmas cos we kept the special tree decorations in an old Chocolate Orange box...) - it's fabulicious!
