Yes, belly fat can be harmful when it comes to health, but I’m not into food fads or completely eliminating any food group from my diet. I do try to eat low-carb, which keeps my weight at a good level.
I’m not advocating super thinness for women, either. I don’t think that’s attractive or sexy, and as someone who was really thin in my twenties, I know I got a lot more male attention once I gained enough weight to have curves (not fat).
Sugar should not be considered a food group. Sugar is poison.
