| Mar 14, 2015 at 15:27 | comment | added | Alec | I agree with @JohnP on this. A diet based on exclusion is a ridiculous and desperate way of eating. Instead of deciding what to exclude, find out how much you can include while maintaining the goals you've set. No goal will ever downright require absolute exclusion of a food group. | |
| Feb 24, 2015 at 14:12 | comment | added | Jan | @JohnP choosemyplate.gov/food-groups lists these food groups: fruits, vegetables, grains, protein foods, dairy and oils. A healthy, conscious person can become aware what is good for him/her personally and choose accordingly. | |

Obviously, if you have health problems or body necessities (such as lactose intolerance), you should avoid certain foods. However, you still have to take care to add the missing things that those foods would give you. And if you hate fish, obviously don't eat fish, but that is a small portion of the protein group. | |
| Feb 23, 2015 at 20:34 | comment | added | Jan | @JohnP I do not agree removing one food group, when you have a good reason, is dumb. It can be actually dumb to force yourself with all food groups, if you do not like them or they cause you problems. I know several people with fructose malabsorption who were forcing themselves with fruits because they believed fruits are healthy despite having loose stools for years. If legumes constantly bloat you, why bother? It's fiber in other foods. I don't think we need all food groups, but all essential nutrients. | |
| Feb 21, 2015 at 18:25 | comment | added | JohnP♦ | @Jan - Yes, I suppose that is true. However vegans jump through a lot of unnecessary hoops to make sure that they get all their macronutrients, (esp. complete proteins), as well as many vitamins/minerals that only come in large amounts in animal protein. I still think it's dumb, and if not planned right, you will suffer nutritional deficiencies. | |
| Feb 21, 2015 at 17:36 | comment | added | Jan | @JohnP, vegans exclude several groups of foods and I'm not aware of any studies that would prove they are less healthy than omnivores. Fruits, legumes and nuts are also not essential. | |
| Feb 19, 2015 at 19:22 | comment | added | JohnP♦ | @Jan - Sweets, sweetened beverages and fruit juices are not food groups. While it is not perfect, the food pyramid is pretty decent. Dairy is an entire food category. I reiterate, any diet that relies on removing an entire food group is dumb and potentially harmful. | |
| Feb 19, 2015 at 18:01 | comment | added | Jan | @JohnP You can stop eat sweets or sweetened beverages or fruit juices without any harm. I'm not saying removing carbs or fats or proteins. | |

I guess it's all based on preferences. There's nothing wrong with dairy.....if the OP wants them. But yeah, I understand your intention; just ensuring that future readers don't misconstrue the intention :). | |
| Jan 8, 2015 at 8:16 | comment | added | Jan | It's not that you shouldn't eat dairy. I just mentioned it can help if you remove one whole category of foods from your diet and make a "principle" from it, for example, you can say from now on I don't eat any dairy or any sweetened beverages. It just helps to fight with temptations. | |
