i eat a lot of cucumbers, tomatoes and onions. i eat cucumbers and tomatoes like apples.
well, beefstake tomatoes, avocado and cucumbers are actually fruits
Vegetable is a culinary term.
i despise tomatoes gross. cucumbers and onions 😖
The first 2 I'm with you but I love onions 😛
I like avocados and tomatoes with salt and pepper
I love all of them just I am not a fan of avocado.
Raw kale is nice, but it is tastier when cooked!
I only like celery if I dip it in ranch.
carrots all day everyday :3
Vary your vegetables. Carrots are rich in beta-carotene, which can make you turn orange. The orange color is totally harmless, but it does resemble having a more serious condition called jaundice.
ah that explains why i became orange :D! ok, i'll look out thank you
I once had an instructor who talked about one of her former students who ate oranges every day. At the end of the semester, he turned orange. The conclusion is that you should vary your veggies AND fruits! I know carrots and oranges are tasty, but with all good things, they must be limited.
You may find more info here: library.nd.gov/.../fn1454-20100826.pdf
It's an American website, so it will assume that you have access to different kinds of food year-round.
thank you dea, being vegetarian i will try to vary my diet a little bit more ;)
*dear
Onion and celery are not good. The other are ok
Many vegetables are an acquired taste. Their bitterness naturally offend young children who are particularly sensitive to bitterness. However, many things can be done to make the food more palatable from an early age. (1) The parent must show a keen interest and enthusiasm of fresh vegetables. (2) The parent must literally eat vegetables, cooked and fresh, on a regular basis, since the child is conceived. (3) The parent restricts all sugar intake to whole, non-processed foodstuffs (grains, vegetables, and fruits) that are only processed in the home using no sugar or sugar-like substances.
my parents do all this things but I still hate vegetables and never eat them. If the child don't want to eat it he will not eat it and if he doesn't like it he doesn't like it. Meat is a lot better
Eat your vegetables with your meat then. Just grab a handful of stir-fried vegetables, stuffed them into your mouth, and then place a small piece of savory meat into your mouth to mask the taste of the vegetables. Though, as time passes by, you may wind up tolerating vegetables.
No, it'll kill the taste of the meat. With meat I eat potato or fries or pasta never anything esle.
Veggie is not that important. I never eat them and I never get sick or anything.
That's because you're 18-24. Take care of your body, while you're still young, because you'll regret it if you get old and drop dead due to a heart attack or find yourself having diabetes. By the way, did you know it's possible to be perfectly normal weight but get Type II diabetes due to the excessive consumption of sugar?
Do I said I consume sugar that much? I really don't eat a lot and I'm underweight. I know I should take care of my body but I would never regret it. I know why I don't eat veggie and I assume the consequence.
Obesity/overweightness is falsely attributed to "eating too much". In reality, obesity/overweightness depends on various factors, including the consumption of processed food, monosodium glutamate and all its forms, sugar and all its forms. The science behind obesity is intensely researched and complex. One tip to get out of it is to avoid ALL processed food.
It is possible to survive on a meat-based diet, as long as the meat is minimally processed or home-cooked without sugar. Excess sugar has damaging effects on the body in ways that do not necessarily contribute to obesity. Yet, low-sugar diets (like the Atkins diet) is dangerous as well, because the body is forced to be in a ketogenic state and produce ketones like a diabetic person.
I do myself all my cooking. It's all home cooking so no sugar in or bad product. I don't think I ll ever be fat I mean I only eat some pasta at lunch, a little part of cake or a yoggurt for 4 h pm and at diner I eat meat with some potato or rice. So i think it's heatly.
A normal weight is not what you should be concerned about. It's the strain on the liver to process that sugar in your diet from the yogurt and the cake.
Check your blood and feces. Blood and feces are internal signs of good health, signs that many people don't particularly notice.
I check it last years all were good. I just need more calciums (need to drink milk more often)
Stir-fried vegetables are also sources for calcium. The oil helps with absorption of lipid-soluble vitamins from the vegetables. But since you dislike vegetables, I suppose you can obtain calcium from calcium-fortified products in orange juice and milk.
Yea juice and milk are good. Plus juice is kind of a balance like I don't eat vegetable. Fried is not healthy. I eat chicken nuggets or potatoes sometime but fried things is not the the healthier.
I'd rather eat an orange than drink orange juice. More fiber that way.
Stir-fried is not the same as deep-fried. It's minimally cooked.
It only calls itself fried, because it uses oil in the cooking process. It uses WAY LESS oil than deep-frying, and the amount of time is also substantially less. So, stir-fry is healthy, in comparison to the typical American way of boiling vegetables to blandness.
It's not healthy, I'm from France and we don't fried food in general. You can't always eat an orange, only in winter you can because it's the seasons.
I don't think you know what stir-fry means. It's not deep-fried.
It's always important to eat a variety of food. If one type of food is short, then you have other types of food.
I know what's it and it's not what I call healthy. What's healthy is steaming cooking.
What do you mean by "short" ?
I meant "supply is low".
I disagree with your contention that stir-fry is unhealthy. If the preparation is done right (only vegetables are used with a little bit of oil, sometimes you don't have to use oil at all because spinach releases way too much water), then the "stir-fry" can be considered a very healthy meal. You will still get your nutrients from the crunchy vegetables. Saying something is nonsense just because it has the word "fry" in it is nonsense.
Correction: Saying something is unhealthy just because it has the word "fry" in it is nonsense.
For me it's unhealthy not because it have fry in it but because we learn it to school.
By supply is low you mean if I eat only tomato and one days they don't have it at the groceries?
1. Yes. Sometimes, food may not be available temporarily.
2. Your school is wrong. Your school probably has some sort of bias against "stir-fry", because it apparently assumes that all FRIED foods are bad, and stir-fry is a type of FRIED food. For the last time, it's NOT fried. That's just the English interpretation of the cooking process. If you actually have read the scientific literature, many experts do hold the opinion that stir-fry is actually very healthy. It can easily be made unhealthy when people dump white rice or sauce in it, but in traditional Chinese cooking, you never mix rice and vegetables in the same pan.
"Fried rice" is actually an American phenomenon.
1. Maybe in your country not in mine. I never see an aliments missing. Never.
Fried rice is not fried, we call it Cantonese rice in my country so that's healthy. We doesn't use oil.
1. I live in America. Oranges never go out of stock either.
2. Fried rice is stir-fried. Whether something is healthy or unhealthy lies more in quantity and quality. An apple is perfectly healthy. But if you eat 20 apples, then all of a sudden it's not healthy anymore. Same with water. Water in moderate amounts is a necessity. But if you drink too much, it WILL kill you. See "water intoxication".
3. Cantonese rice uses the EXACT same cooking process as a vegetable stir-fry.
4. A little bit of oil does no harm. Oil is nonpolar and a lipid. It can help with the absorption of lipid-soluble vitamins.
5. Yes, it is possible to "stir-fry" without using oil. It's still called stir-fry, though. In Chinese, it's called 炒, which is translated as "stir-fry" or "sauté". Oil is not the emphasis (you may drop the oil in the cooking), but it is usually used. Deep fry is 油 炸, where the first character definitely implies that oil is used. Note that 炸 is different from 炒.
cantonese rice is not stir-fry I know it cause i do it myself... And I don't use oil.
It's still not at healthy way of cooking. If you eat stir-fry everydays you'll get sick.
For water intoxication I know it and you have to drink like 8 L of water for getting sick...
Cantonese rice is stir-fry. I cook stir-fry myself too, and I often drop the oil (mostly because I tend to use spinach, which releases an insane amount of water and the oil will splash over me). Despite that I do not use oil, I still call it "stir-fry" because it's the English translation of the ç‚’.
Stir-fry is a healthy way of cooking. I eat stir-fry every day, and I never get sick. The antioxidants from the minimally cooked vegetables prevent disease.
When I do cantonese rice I don't use oil and don't sti fry it. I just use the steaming cooking for the legume and for the rice I use water.
It's not healthy.
You are supposed to use leftover rice from a previous meal in "Cantonese rice". The rice is already cooked. You don't cook the rice in the stir-fry.
Stir-frying involves very little oil for a very short time, and people tend to use this little bit of oil for 4-5 dishes, so the amount of total oil in one dish, let alone, one bit, is not that much.
Oil is required in the diet. Iodized salt is also required in the diet. Food tends to become unhealthy, when people add too much of a good thing. It is in fact sugar that has the greatest threat to human health, not fats or salt.
Yes, stir-fry is healthy. So is steam-fry.
Finally, a stir-fry dish is usually predominantly vegetables. It is cooked separately from the rice. The rice is made in the rice cooker or a pot. One cup of rice and a couple of spoonfuls of vegetables may be a very fulfilling, nutritious meal.
Just because your school says it's "unhealthy" doesn't mean it's true.
Why would I use old rice? I use new and he's not cooked. I cook all myself, home cooking is a lot better.
You know what I think.
No, if you want to make "fried rice" or "Cantonese rice" (whatever you call it), you have to use cooked rice. The rice is cooked the day before and used to serve some other kind of meal. It's called recycling. Then, you stock up the rice in your refrigerator. The next day, you take out the rice and reheat it in the microwave with some vegetables and then you're done. Alternatively, you can use the leftover rice and vegetables for a quick stir-fry or steam-fry or Cantonese rice. The reason why you use cooked rice over raw rice is that rice must be cooked in water for a very long time to be ready. Otherwise, you are essentially eating raw rice and may not extract enough nutrients out of it due to being in its raw state.
Cooking rice can be done within the home. I've done it. I know how it works in the rice cooker AND in the regular pot on the stove. But you still need cooked rice for stir-fried rice or "Cantonese rice".
You cook the rice just before cooking the veggie. I ll not use some old rice that's have a bad taste.
My family and I eat rice on a daily basis. It's a staple food. If there is leftover rice, then we save it for another day. If there is none, then we make fresh rice. We never waste food.
All rice is cooked by steaming.
You do what you want I just know I do exact quantity and it never stay any food. So I doesn't need to eat old rice or anything old.
I am not sure what you are trying to say here, because you are not speaking in coherent English.
I can make out "exact quantity" and "eat old rice or anything old". I assume you mean measuring food in perfect proportions. That is a great idea, actually. . . if you live by yourself. However, I live with my parents, and our mouths need to be fed. Sometimes, one of us (usually mom and dad) want to eat more or get seconds, and of course, we usually make more not only for the dinner, but also for something to bring for lunch. The same rice, with a lot of water, can be made into rice porridge for breakfast.
It's about saving time.
Yes it's what I mean. I also live with my parents, my grandmother and my sister and if someone is still hungry he can go eat something else like cheese or a yogurt.
We all eat at home or at the restaurant of the work / school
"Yes it's what I mean. I also live with my parents, my grandmother and my sister and if someone is still hungry he can go eat something else like cheese or a yogurt. We all eat at home or at the restaurant of the work / school."
Well, my family emphasizes more on communal eating. We eat together as a family and share the same food.
I do not eat restaurant food. That is not healthy and not cost-effective. In addition to the price, the customer is expected to pay tips, so a $10 meal can easily become a $15 meal. Eating at home is the best way to go. My family and I do not eat dairy products. Cheese and yogurt are processed foods; they are not healthy, because they are loaded with added sugar. And we are lactose-intolerant, so we don't drink milk. We get all our calcium and vitamin d from vegetables and fruits instead.
I didn't said you where I live? I live in France and restaurant is healthy here as well as ours cheese and ours yogurt all is natural (I live in a rural area so I know it, I buy product directly here). We don't give tips here, a 5 euros meals stay a 5 euros meals so that's not expensive at all. Also work restaurant are free for the employees and school restaurant we only pay 3 euros for a whole lunch who's really healthy.
There you go. Different country, different lifestyle, different coping mechanisms to eat healthy.
Let's just end it there. :D
Yes, in my country and in the areas where I live everything is good and healthy :)
I wouldn't be so confident about that. Europe (France included) is succumbing to the multinational fast food industry and processed food industry, and now obesity rates are going up all across Europe.
Also, it is possible to eat healthy in the United States. My family goes to Fresh Thyme, a farmer's market, to buy local, fresh, non-GMO, organic produce. It's how we can stay above the average American. :D
We eat a special "fast food" in France we have something who make it good because it's not industrial. We buy all the things we need for making an hamburger at farmer and it's healthy as long as you eat it like one or two time a month.
France is the skinnier of Europe and the low obesity rate, we have more underweight people than obese people.
Like I said I live in a real rural areas so all the big industrial things are pretty rare.
In America, the Food and Drug Administration was created initially during the World War II era, because too many young men were too underweight to be good soldiers. The FDA implemented the Nutrition Facts label and the Food Pyramid to lead a healthy diet. I don't trust the Food Pyramid that much, because that's based on a specific cultural background. I'm Chinese-American, and I do not consume milk or dairy products on a regular basis. The Nutrition Facts label is more useful, because I can see what Ingredients the manufacturer used. If there is something mysterious or scientific-sounding, then I hold high suspicion. My parents and I were immigrants, so the eating habits and dishes were preserved. I'd say I'm a bit better than the average American; at least my family has access to real cooking and healthy life skills. Rural China is also very low in obesity, because of traditional cooking techniques. Half my family comes from the farm or are city-dwellers with home-cooked food.
Yes when we keep the tradition and we cook meal at home we don't become obese. I think people who live in rural area and / or keep tradition we not get fat or unhealthy. It's all the modern and industrialisation who make people become fat and unhealthy cause they add too much bad things in.
In the following myTake, I write about how to lose weight safely. www.girlsaskguys.com/.../a29651-how-to-lose-excess-weight-safely-if-you-are-overweight
However, I do admit that it does have a slight Chinese bias, namely the steamed eggs and the manual housework and the deliberate avoidance of anything that looks too colorful or strange (processed food).
Hopefully I'm not overweight or anything. I'm just a bit underweight but thanks :)
Mung bean soup is a traditional Chinese soup for relieve "heat" (as interpreted in Chinese medicine) and for detoxification.
That's great, in France we drink a 1 / 2 of a lemon every morning for detox. It's bitter but that's work.
Mug bean is like pea? I never heard of it before
Lemon is too sour for me. Lemonade must have sugar. Sugar is toxic. So, I believe lemonade is junk food. It's also too cold. Warm food and cold food do not mix well in my belly.
Mung beans are green-colored beans. You can put them in soups and stuff. My mom used to treat my nosebleeds, because she thought I had too much "heat" or toxins in my blood.
The lemon juice I drink is pure. It's true not everyone can do it.
Does it taste good? I think cranberry do the same things too.
Well, mung bean soup actually tastes bland and chewy. I prefer it that way. I have more of a bland palate. One time, I ordered a fruit smoothie at the university smoothie bar. I tasted it. It was too sweet and too cold. The extreme sweetness was a turn-off for me, but I didn't want to waste food, I did finish it. It was a medium size, because there were no smaller sizes. I never bought the fruit smoothies again. I think the sweetness of a typical fruit, like an orange or apple, is sweet enough for me. I don't eat cranberries that often. The red color of cranberries suggests the presence of anthocyanins, which are also found in cherries. I eat cherries more often than cranberries, because I don't think I've ever seen cranberries at the supermarket.
In China, there is the lychee nut. It tastes more fruity than like walnut, though.
Lychee is so good but in France we only have it during December.
I like sweet or spicy things in general.
You have size for a smoothies? Here in France we have no choice it's just a glass of it.
I believe that added sugar of any kind is toxic. Influenced by the documentary "Sugar Coated", I am convinced that it does not matter what type of sugar. Any kind of sugar is toxic, because of the way it breaks down in the gut. Artificial sweeteners are even more suspect, because they are made in the lab, may be too pure, and humans are not evolved to deal with it. Therefore, I prefer to consume sugar only from "real food sources", like potatoes, whole wheat bread (I've recently made my own bread because I don't understand the ingredients in ready-made bread), vegetables, and fruits. I'm fed up with the traditional American diet that I ate too much of in my college years and in grade school (K-12), and so I've decided to return to my ethnic roots and appreciate my Chinese heritage. The Chinese people have always been very lean, because the primary methods for cooking are stir-fry, steaming, and boiling in soups. There are considerably more plant-based dishes than meat dishes. So, yeah.
I am originally from Wuhan, capital of the Hubei province. The hot climate contributes to the spiciness of the dishes.
I think in all the tradition they have good food. Maybe not American because it's new country but in Europe if everyone stop eating American food and go back to tradition all will be good. Europe is working on it already and expecially France, even before I born people have good food at school and nowadays too.
When i see what American student eat at school that's really unhealthy.
In school they doesn't sell food only water bottle.
Actually, American schools in higher-income areas do better in serving healthy food than low-income schools. They at least offer more choices. Low-income schools must be financed some way. The reason why there are low-income schools and high-income schools is that the public schools are assigned to county and paid with taxpayer's money. Low-income families don't pay much taxes, so that results in the education of the children. High-income schools may be more well-off academically and financially and can afford a wider variety of meals. They also have a private kitchen, while low-income schools have to make deals with fast food companies to get money to fund them.
My parents moved to an upper middle-class school district.
that's not cool. In France we have all home cooked meal who're healthy but we didn't have choice it's like it's beef with carrots or nothing.
Well, that's what you get when you have capitalism and socialism. Capitalism is not about making people healthy. Capitalism is not about making the environment healthy. Capitalism is doing whatever it takes to make a profit. Free markets allow choice, yes, but some people do make bad choices. :P
That's why personal responsibility is very important in America. You can depend on the government to make the decision for you; you have to do it yourself. . . and also vote for the person who would side with your positions about Education or the Environment.
Correction: You cannot depend on the government...
Typo.
haha yes. Capitalism is bad really only care about money. In France I don't know what we're really a mix of capitalism and socialism. It's a bit confuse
America is so much different. Here we have a lot of help for everything that's cool even if we need more
To be fair, capitalism is not completely bad. It does put a lot of power on the consumer. When the consumers collectively make a decision, companies are extremely sensitive to popular opinion and will cater to that. So, if enough people care about the quality of food, then something will change.
That's like in France when we said we doesn't want a law they don't care and use 49.3 and they tell us we're too idiot for understand things. That's suck
So anyway, I believe that stir-fry is a healthy form of cooking. It is part of the traditional Chinese diet. It was originally developed by the Chinese. However, obesity is rising in China and other places, not because stir-fry, but because of the worldwide fast food and processed food industries that inject added sugar into the food.
Stir-fry does use soy sauce, which contains salt, but the soy sauce is just a small amount and is used to make 4-5 dishes with it that the amount of soy sauce per dish is very low.
It also uses oil, which is also very low. The fast-pace cooking process through the oil is just enough to heat the food quickly, while retaining the nutrients and crunchiness. It has no added sugar.
Now, Chinese restaurants may use monosodium glutamate to enhance flavor, but that's business, not home-cooking.
Therefore, I fail to believe that stir-frying done in the rural, traditional manner is unhealthy.
For me the only cooking way who is healthy is the steaming.
I don't think stir-frying is that bad but I would not call it healthy. I check it on internet and that's not the best ways of cooking
I don't understand why you keep saying it's unhealthy.
There is relatively little oil and salt, and no added sugar. In addition, in a traditional Chinese table setting, stir-fried dishes are not the only things on the table. There may be a steamed dish (Steamed Eggs) or a soupy dish. When something is boiled, all the nutrients are leaked out into the water. If people don't drink the water, then they are not receiving the nutrients. In other words, soup is actually healthier than boiled-and-drained vegetables.
I believe that stir-fry is a healthy form of cooking, along with steaming and making soups. I checked on the Internet, and that is a good way of cooking. Not the best way, but it is certainly not unhealthy. I'll fit it within the Healthy section, maybe below soups and steamed things.
Like I said I check it on internet and it's unhealthy, plus my mother use to do it everyday and she gain weight without change anything else to her diet
Eh? I'm not sure what Internet sources you are using.
Your mother's gaining weight probably has nothing to do with stir-fry. From my personal experience, I eat stir-fry at home regularly. I've cut out store-bought processed foods in my diet, because they are unhealthy and laden with added sugar. With the usual stir-fry and soup and occasional steamed food, I've actually lost weight. I am convinced that stir-fry is low-calorie, because of all the vegetables that are used in the process.
It's French site. I don't its's bad considered in France all the stir-fry things.
I think she gain weight because she eat stir-fry everyday instead of steaming cooking.
Huh... interesting. On Bing and Google, I usually find English-language websites. They do say that it is a healthy form of cooking, as long as vegetables (without rice or too much sauce) are used. However, I find in the peer-reviewed journals through the public library, one scientific paper mentions that stir-fried tempeh and soy products may release fat. So, maybe tempeh/soy products can be steamed while vegetables can be stir-fried.
Keep in mind that throughout history people in many societies struggle to find calories. I believe the high-calorie value in stir-fried soy products are actually necessary, because they help build calories, which can serve as energy. Stir-fried food brings nutrients, because the vegetables are minimally cooked. It also brings calories, because stir-fried tofu and meat products can give calories/energy. This is a good thing, because it's difficult to find calories if you eat steamed vegetables or soups all day. They cannot sustain enough energy.
I think low calorie is better because if you eat pasta, rice or even meat with the veggie you'll get fat if all is high calorie. Low calorie doesn't mean it don't give nutriments
Whether a high-calorie or low-calorie diet is better really depends on location. If you have watched the documentary called "Living on One" (2013), then you'd find many families are seriously deficient in calories. They can buy nutrients through vegetables, but the meals are not sustainable for the tedious work they have to do on the fields. Therefore, a diet that is high in nutrients and high in calories is important for the indigenous people in Guatamala.
In the United States, it's easy to obtain calories from any source, and not the right kind of calories too! Processed food not only have too much calories, but also additional toxins, like added sugar, preservatives, additives, and coloring. So, a nutrient-dense, calorie-low diet would be more fitting for a typical American to lose weight or keep the same weight.
A calorie-low diet would be disastrous for an agricultural worker in Guatamala or China.
i'm on a calorie low diet because I don't want to take pounds (being skinny is really important in France) but that's true when you do a physical activity you need more calorie
Interesting. In China, fatness symbolizes good fortune. That's why the Buddhist iconography in China appears fat. The emphasis is to eat as much as possible, because on most days of the year, for a typical Chinese peasant during the imperial era or a rural worker in the modern era, people have very little to eat. Even during Communist days, food must be rationed, so the best, most caloric-dense food, like meats and tofu and desserts, must be saved for Chinese New Year. They may receive adequate nutrients through the assorted vegetables, but if you divide that up among the family without meat, sugar or tofu, then the calories are substantially lower, and no one can really get fat. Therefore, fatness must be a sign of wealth and good fortune. Sadly, nowadays, the traditional culture is eroding in the cities due to fast food consumption, and people get fat without much nutrients. They are obese and malnourished, which is just as worse as being underweight and malnourished.
Yes nowadays people are fat and malnourished. They get fat, have cellulite, etc... To what I know nobody should have cellulite because this mean your malnourished and eat too much industrial / grass food. Which is not good.
Being fat was good in the middle age in France after being skinny mean you can buy good food and take care of your body. Which is highly valued.
I still maintain that stir-fry is healthy. I believe the reason why it can easily be made "unhealthy" to Westerners, because (1) Americans have a sweeter palate (in traditional Chinese cuisine, sweetness and savoryness do not mix, so in order to be profitable, Chinese-American restaurants add sugar to cater to American consumers), (2) Americans take the rice out of context (In rural China, rice and tofu may be the only high-calorie items; stir-fried vegetables are high in nutrients, but low in calories, which is not good if you need calories); and (3) Westerners tend to eat individually.
In order to lose weight on Chinese food, it is not the cooking style that deserves blame, but the type of food involved. It's best to remove rice and just eat the vegetable stir-fry without any additional sauce or sugar. The oil is actually healthy. It's the carbohydrates from the rice that are high in calories. You can obtain plenty of carbohydrates from the vegetables itself.
The oil is only healthy, because it can quickly heat the vegetables in minimal amount of time, preserving the nutrients. A tiny bit of oil may be necessary to absorb the lipid-soluble molecules.
I think that is how I lost weight. Back when I did eat processed food, I was overweight. When I eliminated processed food and added sugar from my diet, I lost weight. I also changed my eating habits at home. I figured that I had to eat way more vegetables than rice; actually, rice was best removed, because I could just obtain the carbohydrates from the vegetables. I also lowered my consumption of protein and lipids, so my bowl was mostly stir-fried vegetables, maybe a bit of tofu and meats, so I would feel full while obtaining carbs, lipids, and protein.
If you said so I don't really know. I eat a lot of meat and pratically no veggie but like I use steaming cooking i never gain weight, etc... since middle school I'm at the same weight.
You just really eat bad food before and now you eat natural food all is good it's normal
You are 18-24. An 18-24-year-old cannot weigh the same as a middle-school child. The bones and muscles build up weight. If you really weigh the same as a middle-school child, then you must be severely underweight. This is not healthy. It means you are undernourished/underfed.
Weight simply means how much pressure you are exerting on the surface of the scale. This depends on your TOTAL body weight, which includes your skeleton and muscles. If you weigh the same as a middle school child, then that means you are not growing. Bodies don't grow, if they are undernourished.
There is such a thing as being too thin.
I was 5'5 and 115 lbs in middle now I'm in college and I'm 5'6 and 108 lbs. I'm naturally skinny and I just happened to stop all the junk food and industrial food when I was 13 / 14 so it's normal I lose pounds. I was tall and kind of big for a middle school girls. I still wore clothes I used to wear to middle school. They still fit me.
Good for you. Processed food has a lot of food additives, preservatives, artificial colors, and sweeteners. Your liver will thank you.
Wow. You actually use the English system in France? I thought you would use the metric system!
Your BMI suggests that you are really underweight. This is not healthy. You have to add some staple food in your diet. They are energy-dense.
No we use metric system but I know the both. Like i know you live in usa I think it was easier for you.
I know, it's just beauty standard of France, being really skinny.
Forget about beauty standards! You are putting your health at risk! Physical fitness and personal hygiene contribute to beauty, but if you have to add make-up, form-fitting outfits, perfume, or jewelry, or if you have to be anorexic/starving, then your health comes first.
I believe that Catholic and Buddhist nuns exemplify modest female beauty. Buddhist nuns shave off their hair; Catholic nuns wear loose-fitting, modest clothes. They set the example, not the mass media, about beauty.
Yes, that's true but that's difficult because I lose wright I feel really bad. Every girls was so skinny or prettier than me.
I'm catholic and so I wear conservative clothes that's hard to get a guy attention on me.
I try to eat more nowadays and stop all the unhealthy habit I have but I'm afraid to be too big for guys to like me.

Cilantro is another one!!
I love yellow and red pepper the most.
People eat Aloe Vera? I have a plant home.
It's a great digestive aid.
