Fruit.. so what do you eat that doesn't make you fat???

I will always remember something my cookery teacher said to me - Every food you eat is good for you in some way, its the quantity of that certain food that you eat that is really unhealthy :) I think it's true...

yeh like avacados (sp?) have loads of fat in them but its meant to be good fat and so they are meant to be good for you even though they are very high in fat. its so confusing when everything always seems to contradict everything else! :confused:

Tell me about it! I cringed when I watched one episode of "You Are What You Eat" with Gillian McKeith... her outlook on a healthy lifestyle is wrong in my opinion... she seems to object to any kind of "junk" food and it seems to be "healthy" foods all the way with her, to me she brings across the message "Junk food is bad. Healthy Food is good" ... I think this message is untrue, we all need a balanced diet. Every food has some goodness in it even if it's junk food, it's just the amount that we eat of that certain food that causes the most damage! I think what Gillian McKeith comes out with is the poo that she craves to talk about.

All of this "don't eat this or that" is a load of rubbish to me (no pun intended)

I found that to lose weight the best thing I did was exercise regularly, eat smaller portions and I stopped snacking in between meals. We eat everything for a purpose and we shouldn't deny ourselves anything... jsut eat everything in better proportion I say. I still ate carbs and protein and calcium and fat... jsut cut down on how much I did eat and it worked a treat.
No need for all these fad diets and denying ourselves. :)

yeh junk food is ok for you if you eat it in moderation. eating too much off certain "healthy" foods can also do you more harm than good. is gillian the lady who analyses peoples poo to see if its the right colour etc? there was someone on jonathon ross a few months ago talking about looking at poo and how it should look a certain way, was that her? if so, i think shes rather stupid. its good to eat healthy, but she seemed far too obsessed with not eating anything that might be even slightly unhealthy for you. and i cant believe she makes her kids eat like that too!

Every food is good in moderation. If people listened to everything these researches said about what we can't eat then we wouldn't have much in our diet.

And don't get me started on Gillian McKeith, she's another person I really can't stand.

We can't all be gym freeks who eat museli with natural yoghurt for breakfast and grilled chicken with salad for tea and snack on carrot sticks and celery. I wouldn't want to be.

There are different types of fat. Saturated fats are the worst kind. They're found in butter and junk food mainly.

i think thats the best way to do it kirsty. these diets where you cut out certain food groups are stupid. like cutting out carbs, you need carbs to live healthily, ok if you cut them out then it might help you lose weight but its bad for you in other respects. i doubt fad diets would help you in the long run, i think its just for quick weight loss over a short period really

i thought so but was just checking! i cant believe when she was on there she said she had never let her kids eat junk food. apparently one of them secretly ordered a pizza and ate it, and she said their poo was so horrible the next day cos of all the junk theyd eaten! i doubt one pizza would really affect you that much! :rolleyes: eating pizza every day maybe, but one pizza isnt going to harm you at all!

i was thinking that the other day, especially with some foods such as dairy products, tomatoes and red wine to name i few i can remember, and now fruits! these foods are meant to be really good for you, but then youre told that they might also make you fat/give you cancer etc. how are you meant to know whether you should eat them or not

yeh saturated fats are the worst for you, but you are still meant to have a small amount of it. i wonder how healthy these obsessives really are, cos i dont think they can really be doing their body that much good

have regular exercise and stick to a good healthy balanced diet with the occassional unhealthy food and youll be fine!

That is ridiculous! A really bad attitude to show towards her children in my opinion. If she brings up her children with this view on food, they will start to get very conscious when they are older over what they eat and probably become the "health conscious Size 0" kind of people that we are starting to see in society.
