We have been doing our best to cut out hfcs for about 5 years now. It's tough...very tough. But we've been fairly successful with it. At least with our regular food. When we splurge on junk, I'm not too concerned about it.
Surprisingly, almost all the healthy cereals have it. So we end up with the kid's cereals in our cabinet because it's fortified and sweetened with sugar instead of hfcs. For ice cream, I often get sherbet or frozen Italian ice instead. Soda is another killer, especially since I'm allergic to most artificial sweeteners. We found that Coke Zero and Fresca are good. The best though are the Whole Foods' 360 sodas. But we haven't found a Whole Foods close to us after the move. But for that carbonation craving, 100% fruit juice mixed with soda water is good too.
Trader Joe's food is hfcs-free as well as Whole Foods. In other place, you have to label read and be prepared to not enjoy some regular items. I miss Raisin Bran Crunch, granola bars, and Special K the most.
As for Subway, it's not as greasy and artificial as other fast food places. But I'm under the impression that if I'm eating fast food, I'm not going for healthy in the first place. We don't eat out much so it's a treat when we do. I splurge off my generally healthy diet for such occasions.
