Bacon:<\/strong> yes that porky, greasy and deadly devil can have you hypnotized even at the smell of it cooking on the grill just ready for two eggs and a side of sausage links (more pork).<\/p>\n

Licorice:<\/strong> ok that\u2019s an odd one and though it is a helpful herb\u2014not in this form\u2014its sugar and um\u2014we\u2019ve been through that one already.<\/p>\n

Burgers and Fries:<\/strong> Beef is just as guilty a habit as pork.

Coupled with some bad carbs from the fries and you are as good as hooked.<\/p>\n

Doughnut: <\/strong>The sugar in the glaze or carbs in the yeast doughnut is still deadly and one of the hardest food addictions to break.<\/p>\n

Nachos: <\/strong>ah football season treats that are everywhere you look! Carb addiction alley!<\/p>\n

Basically any complex carbohydrates are a bad thing to go overboard on when you aren\u2019t dieting but when you are\u2014steer clear at all costs! Some really great substitutes can be sweet potato fries and baked too, but NOT with brown sugar. Veggie burgers are just as good as beef or pork. Sugar-free candy is also an excellent alternative for those that cannot break that sweet tooth without it.
