No not at all. Yes you shouldn't binge on food but you never should starve your body and many times women do that with their small portion control. Eating healthy means to eat healthy things. So like a large salad with a chicken breast, carrots, tomatoes etc with balsamic vinaigrette instead of a big mac meal. Also eating an apple or nuts instead of a bar or candy for a snack, or whole wheat instead of bleached breads. You can eat some junk foods but it shouldn't be a daily occurrence.

edit
organic doesn't mean not processed. There are still some organic processed milks. It just means that it wasn't grown with hormones or pesticides.

Piper just doesn't get it. No you can't eat fried chicken every day. Yes olive oil(organic or not) is good for you. But frying chicken in any oil is absolutely not good for you. Eating it once in a blue moon is fine again like any junk food but eating it every day is very bad for your health.

edit
No because the granola bars have a lot of sugar in them. It is better just to eat fruit. You get sugar but it's fructose. Fructose is broken down by the body much slower than cane sugar is aka sucrose. Yes fructose is broken down to SUCROSE but it is accompanied by GLYCOGEN which is a storage form of energy which is stored in the liver and muscle instead of turned into fat on your thighs.

No you cannot bread stuff and fry it even it is with whole wheat and good oils. Fried is fried and not good for you on a daily basis. If you talk to an actual nutritionist they will tell you the same. South beach diet actually forbids you from frying foods. You can bake some breaded stuff on occasion but not often. It is not the food pyramid at all. Splenda is not sucrose. It is a fake sweetener.

"As far as those personally attacking me with their thumbs down minions, it just goes to show your minds age and lack of education on these matters. I have 18 years of education on these matters under my belt, so just because you click the thumbs down doesn't make the facts I have stated here any less true, it just means you can not control yourself, ignorance makes people angry, especially when you can't be right so you have to go out of your way to try and make others look bad.(shakes head, so sad) Seriously, get a life and stop trying to block others from learning the truth and becoming more educated, your ego is doing more harm than good."

Wow seriously? You are thumbed down because people are not stupid. They know what you are telling this girl is not correct. Why do you think most people are saying one thing and you another. Get over yourself.

I hope you realize poll and piper are the same person

When she wants to make herself look good she goes to her other account and says hey I agree with piper and makes up a bunch of crap. This is really sad. She is asking about health and if you give her the wrong info you are not helping her you are only hurting her. So maybe you need to get off your high horse for the sake of helping this girl.



Not gorging on fried foods or sweets, those are probably the two most unhealthy parts of many Americans' diets.



it means not eating anything that taste good and in small amounts
