Now, when my weight is not so critical, I have become more rational approach to the menu, greater emphasis is placed on healthy products. Losing weight - it's good. But health should come first (both physical and psychological). Exclusion from the diet of healthy foods, lack of necessary body substances will certainly make themselves felt.
