Anorexia

so I can never decide if eating only vegetables and fruit is healthy or just a detour to the same results of restricting. I know a lot of veggies that are the negative calories and I try to eat them for a whole meal, but is it a meal or just me burning calories? I keep contemplating on that and if eating a big breakfast really helps your body. I eat plain oatmeal with a spoon of brown sugar and flax seed with fruit practically every morning and haven't noticed a difference! So myth or truth?

Eating only certain foods groups (like fruit and vegies) and completely cutting out other groups (carbs, protein, fats, snacks, oils etc) is unhealthy. Our body needs a balanced diet in order to function properly. Weight loss and weight maintenance is best achieved by structured, sensible and balanced eating with foods from all parts of the food pyramid. Restricting you food intake to only fruit and vegies may result in temporary weight loss but this cannot be maintained over time. So in order to answer your question eating only fruit and vegies is UNhealthy.
