Thought these would make for a good discussion
Some of them I totally agree with - some of them I'm surprised at! When I read out puddings/desserts to my 10yo - she very quickly replied with - but what about fruit crumble?! Yeah - what about a good fruit crumble, I don't see anything wrong with that as a treat every now and again (we usually have dessert once a week - so fruit crumble with yoghurt once a week? wrong? I don't think so!).0 -
I think it's complete BS
I am so, so, SO annoyed with "dieticians" pushing all this chemical filled 'reduced fat' crap, and just telling people "these are baaaaaaaaaaaaaad" rather than teaching people moderation and how to actually select GOOD foods and keep their portions sensible!
Just saying "these are bad" doesn't teach people anything because they drop the weight and then return to their bad habits because they don't need to "diet" any more.
Plus, our bodies NEED fat0 -
I'm in agreement that most of these foods should absolutely be avoided - because most of these foods are highly processed.
Earlier this year I changed my usual diet completely to 'primal' eating (www.marksdailyapple.com) and have lost around half a kg per week since. I have cut out all wheat, grains, sugar, rice, pasta etc. I eat meat, veges, some fruit, nuts, seeds etc. Plenty of calories, plenty of fat, and the weight is coming off steadily.
I agree completely with the post above about how we absolutely need fat - it is what our bodies are designed to burn to get energy (not sugar or carbs). I eat plenty of butter, coconut cream is encouraged, cream is fine too
I guess it depends on how you are chosing to lose weight, but highly processed foods should always be avoided - in any diet!!0 -
I believe I am going to have to go with Sarah on this one..0
