Have you had to cut out certain food/drink to keep the weight off as you got older?

I've tended to eat more healthier as I've grown older.

I'm not sure I always achieve my 'five a day' but I do more often than not have vegetables or salads daily and less so fruit. I tend to eat wholemeal bread rather than white, seldom drink coffee and apart from special occasions I don't tend to drink alcohol much at all these days. I've never been a smoker either.

As the years go by and the metabolism slows we all put on a few pounds but as a person who likes savoury rather than sweet I now stay clear of biscuits and cakes in the main.

I'm not as dull as all this may sound, I eat and drink what I want and when I want and join in with the crowd I'm with at the time but when indoors I simply tend to eat and drink a little bit more healthier as I don't want to fall down dead from a stroke or heart attack anytime soon.

Very wise Sluffy. I’m with you on the alcohol, I used to always buy a couple of bottles of wine in my weekly shop and it never seemed to be a problem but now I just can’t get away with it, I can literally feel my belly get bigger the next day. And yes sweets are best avoided. 
You are right to eat healthy and stay in shape, it’s a slippery slope and very hard to get back once you’ve let yourself go and it’s no surprise you hear of unhealthy people die way too young. Eric Bristow, John Candy, Andy Fordham, Giant Haystacks, Jono Coleman all died early. 
It is a shame our metabolism slows down as we get older, we really do have to make allowances and changes for it. 
And nothing suddenly makes people look less attractive than someone putting a load of weight on.

Since the age of 17,I've been a veggie, and I can't say I've ever had to seriously watch my weight, but I have had to cut out certain foods for health reasons.
Over the past ten years I began to experience knee pain, and assumed it was simply the aging process getting a grip.
However, I was advised to eliminate bread, or at least pare it down to a couple of rounds a week.
Reluctantly, I tried it, and it worked the oracle. I'm now virtually bread free, and, more importantly, pain free.
No idea why the bread was the problem, but who cares.
