It’s day 5. How’s that New Year’s resolution going? A survey was done to find the foods that people find the most addictive. Resolving to eat better often means limiting or cutting those fattening, salty and high-carb goodies. Those cravings kick in and crush those resolutions for most within the first couple weeks. They say it takes 66 days to form a new habit, so if you can make it 2 months, you’re on your way.

Healthline says these are the 10 most craved addictive foods based on their survey responses. They asked respondents to assign a number to each food. 1 is the least addictive. 7 is the most addictive.

• #10: Cheese

  Score: 3.22.

  I mean you can’t go wrong by heading straight to Mazzaro’s in St. Pete. Not just for the cheese, but there’s that incredible bakery, fresh pasta, great sandwiches and big deli.

• #9: Cake

  Score: 3.26.

  Wright’s Gourmet House is my go to for great cupcakes. Especially after one of their BLTs or Cubans.

• #8: Soda

  Score: 3.29.

  They don’t carry it anymore, but Mazzaro’s used to carry my favorite soda – a blueberry one made in Portland, Maine. But I haven’t seen it in a while.

• #7: Cheeseburgers

  Score: 3.51.

  Call me crazy. I know most go for the Italian Beef or Hot Dogs, but I love the burgers at Portillo’s.

• #6: French Fries

  Score: 3.60.

  My favorite french fries are at Wing Stop. The seasoning is so perfect.

• #5: Ice Cream

  Score: 3.68.

  Strachan’s Ice Cream in Palm Harbor is tough to beat.

• #4: Cookies

  Score: 3.71.

  Tough one here. I think I make the best cookies, but Publix really does it well for a grocery store.

• #2 (tie): Chips

  Score: 3.73.

  You can’t find my favorite potato chips in Florida. You have to go to Maine or Canada and find ketchup chips from Old Dutch or Humpty Dumpty. So good!

• #2 (tie): Chocolate

  Score: 3.73.

  I don’t have a particular place in Tampa for chocolate. I’m happy with a Reese’s Cup.

• #1: Pizza

  Score: 4.01.

  Cristino’s Coal Oven pizza in Clearwater has been my favorite ever since listeners turned me on to them about 5 years ago. The first time I went the pizza was so good that I didn’t even seek pizza out when I visited NYC the week after. And you’ve gotta have pizza when you go to New York City.
