[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The concept of "dieting" is outdated. The phrase intself connotes old age: no one says "dieting" anymore. Now we are to think about the lifestyle of eating that we should engage in. Low sugar, low salt, abundance of leafy green vegetablels, healthy oils (non-seed oils, such as olive, avocado, walnut, coconut), small amount oh not-too-surgary fruit (blueberries, raspberries), oily fish (salmon, sardines), beans, small amount of whole grains. Yes, eating heathily and maintaining a healthy weight is important for heart health and for preserving the quality of life in older age (preventing need to take lots of meds, preventing kidney failure, etc). We can't just give up, that is not responsible toward ourselves and our families.[/quote]

You may not use the word "dieting" anymore, but you are the very picture of an eating disorder.  Obsessing about "Not too sugary" fruit? [b] Please, tell me what a too sugary fruit looks like?[/b]  What would be the health effects of eating, for example, watermelon, instead of blueberries?  It's outrageous that you would call the concept of dieting outdated and try to convince people to only eat "leafy" green vegetables or low salt.[/quote]

PP who just nitpicked about fish.
Easy: grapes. Bananas. Yes, they're healthier for your toddler than chicken nuggets or skittles, but for a middle aged woman who would like to avoid dieting, cutting them out in favor of less sugary fruit isn't unreasonable at all.[/quote]
