when i meant cutting things out im refering to those diets that say only eat protein or no carbs or no nothing. it is good to cut out any unnatural foods, i found that after watching so many documentaries and learning more about processed foods and products full of preservatives and artificial versions i am now so disgusted by the thought that i can no longer eat food that contains such things. i do definitely suggest cutting back on things like potato chips but they are ok in small rations dont torture yourself you only live once but go for the healthier version, there are brands emerging now that are making some of my favorite treats in healthy versions such as ketchup man i went years without eating ketchup until i finally found some organic ketchup made with actual sugar in the isle and it made my week i had the best grass fed burger i ever had in my life that day
