Natural food items are always good. By natural I mean food items that are free from pesticides. Any processed food can be a problem. I have stopped consuming products that have emulsifiers.
My ideology is, if a food item needs 6 months to grow, let it take the necessary time. Forcing it to grow in just 3 months with the help of pesticides doesn't sound convincing for me.
Good article. I wish you best of luck to lose 7 more KG as you wish. After you accomplish the goal, please post about it for others to get motivated.
