I have found Coconut Bliss, which is absolute heaven [It&#39;s as rich and creamy as premium ice cream, Luna &amp; Larry&#39;s Coconut Bliss is a satisfying, delicious, and healthy alternative to dairy and soy-based frozen dessert. Made from a base of naturally rich coconut milk and sweetened and agave syrup, Luna &amp; Larry&#39;s Coconut Bliss is certified organic, 100% vegan, kosher pareve, and made with certified fair trade ingredients]. <a href="http://www.coconutbliss.com/" rel="nofollow">http://www.coconutbliss.com/</a></p> <p>And chocolate - Hershey&#39;s plain old milk chocolate. . . just to put it on your tonge and letting it melt is fabulous. </p> http://www.marksdailyapple.com/forum/topic/things-you-cant-give-up/page/3#post-37040 Wed, 04 Nov 2009 21:20:33 +0000 CaveGirl 37040@http://www.marksdailyapple.com/forum/ <p>Chiming in with crunchy fried foods (esp. a nice crunchy batter on moist fried chicken!), gourmet breads (I mean hand made, top quality stuff), and the occasionaly bit of rice on a sushi roll (like for a dinner I get tons of sashimi pieces and like 1 spicy tuna roll). And gourmet ice cream (I only get a little at a time because I&#39;m more sensitive to sugars now that I&#39;m good after a few spoonfuls vs. a few bowlfuls,lol).</p> <p>I will eat primally for the most part, but just can&#39;t go through my life not enjoying the rare and gourmet things. I prefer to eat really healthy most of the time and indulge guilt free on some rare occasions. </p> http://www.marksdailyapple.com/forum/topic/things-you-cant-give-up/page/3#post-35542 Thu, 29 Oct 2009 23:43:54 +0000 Annika 35542@http://www.marksdailyapple.com/forum/ <p>Resistance is futile.... when it comes to popcorn. At work, we have a big old-fashioned popcorn machine in our break room. Someone makes popcorn (for everybody) pretty much every day, often twice a day. It smells SO good and I find it impossible to resist. The other day I decided to have just a tiny bit, but ended up having two bowls. A few hours later I raided the candy drawer (yes, work is a minefield) and ate a small chocolate-caramel bar. I think the popcorn made me crave more carbs. I&#39;m generally not too bad with the candy drawer, but how can I resist the delicious smell of popcorn??? I can&#39;t! </p> http://www.marksdailyapple.com/forum/topic/things-you-cant-give-up/page/3#post-34468 Mon, 26 Oct 2009 20:34:21 +0000 KXS 34468@http://www.marksdailyapple.com/forum/ <p>thanks-I have read it and I don&#39;t necessarily take everything here as gospel though I agree with about 80-90%...I&#39;ve tried to incorporate more strength exerises and core, though and see a difference there </p> http://www.marksdailyapple.com/forum/topic/things-you-cant-give-up/page/3#post-34448 Mon, 26 Oct 2009 19:26:59 +0000 AmyMac703 34448@http://www.marksdailyapple.com/forum/ <p>I have way too many, haha.<br /> Beer and dark chocolate are the only ones I regularly indulge in though.<br /> Other things, like chipotle burritos, pizza, and ice cream, I will get once in a great while, and usually after a long/difficult climb or something like that. Not more than once a month usually though.</p> <p>I&#39;ve yet to convert to primal exercise, but that&#39;s just as much because what I love (climbing/mountaineering) requires lots of cardio and stuff, so in a way, my non-primal exercise habits support my very primal habit of doing things that are fun :) </p> http://www.marksdailyapple.com/forum/topic/things-you-cant-give-up/page/3#post-34440 Mon, 26 Oct 2009 18:59:21 +0000 mrd232 34440@http://www.marksdailyapple.com/forum/ <p>KXS - I won&#39;t give up running either but I&#39;ve scaled it waaaay back. </p> http://www.marksdailyapple.com/forum/topic/things-you-cant-give-up/page/3#post-34396 Mon, 26 Oct 2009 17:09:17 +0000 Primal Soul 34396@http://www.marksdailyapple.com/forum/ <p>Beer Wine and salt?

I mean, running long distances. Nothing is more fun that running in the woods for a few hours, and I don&#39;t see how this isnt &#39;primal&#39;...it improves my peace of mind and quality of life so I will keep on running.<br /> Of course, this gives me leeway to have more wine and chocolate so its a win/win! </p> http://www.marksdailyapple.com/forum/topic/things-you-cant-give-up/page/2#post-34309 Mon, 26 Oct 2009 08:56:54 +0000 eva 34309@http://www.marksdailyapple.com/forum/ <p>dried dates, nuts, sushi </p> http://www.marksdailyapple.com/forum/topic/things-you-cant-give-up/page/2#post-34210 Sun, 25 Oct 2009 18:15:45 +0000 one_eye_mike 34210@http://www.marksdailyapple.com/forum/ <p>We&#39;re like minded individuals Shazkar.

I just try to limit eating out to a few times a week tops), I haven&#39;t yet given up dairy though I could see that as definitely doable for me, or at least limiting it to rare occasions...</p> <p>But beer... never.

Felt like a PETA vegan in the middle of a Paleo nutrition convention though. </p> <p>Anyway, there are some mild traces of hop on it and the alcohol level seems ok for such a low carb beer. So I guess it might be doable. </p> <p>The above being said, I&#39;m not ready to let beer go anytime soon. </p> http://www.marksdailyapple.com/forum/topic/things-you-cant-give-up/page/2#post-34103 Sat, 24 Oct 2009 20:35:48 +0000 maba 34103@http://www.marksdailyapple.com/forum/ <p>I have to add nuts to my list.

The ice cream is more an appeal to my foodie nature. If I&#39;m near a place that serves good, hand crafted ice cream, I&#39;ve got to have a small cup. Rice is a rare cheat - usually from a piece of sushi. </p> http://www.marksdailyapple.com/forum/topic/things-you-cant-give-up/page/2#post-33973 Sat, 24 Oct 2009 04:30:50 +0000 halloweenbinge 33973@http://www.marksdailyapple.com/forum/ <p>Probably ice cream.
