Is it OK to completely cut "sugar, salt, oil and white flour" off our diet??
Answers: The best diet is a low carbohydrate diet, moderate in fat, which stresses the importance of a regular intake of sufficient protein.
You can cut down the oil but don't eliminate it completely. Monounsaturated fat is the healthiest, most easily digested form of fat. Your body needs some fats. There are also fats that you can consume to prevent heart disease and strokes. These are called omega 3 FA and are found in fish oils.
Regarding sugar and white flour, if you have the will power to do so, I would encourage you to. Sugar and white flour are enriched carbohydrates. There are plenty of other sources of these nutrients in the diet that your body will not be deprived of them.
Salt is interesting since for many years- people did not have salt. It was introduced to the west and got incorporated into our diets- later to become an integral part of our lives. You can eliminate all ADDED salt from your food. Again, there are natural sources of it.
However, be aware of the following: you may have a condition where these statements do not apply to you. For example, you may be
- under-weight,
- have low blood pressure and require added salts/electrolytes or
- you may be a diabetic and occasionally require high sugar content foods to normalize your blood sugar, etc.
Therefore, check with your doctor before making any major changes in your lifestyle.
No, your body still needs sugar and salt. I'm not sure about the white flour.

No your body needs salt, it is important for your body to function to have a wide variety of foods in order to work properly. Youre body needs oils as well to do loads of things. Why do you want to cut these things out? Take care, every single cell in your body needs certain things to stay alive, see your doctor about it or a nutritionalist. look after yourself. x
sugar and flour yes and you don't need to add extra salt to your food. the body needs salt but most processed foods got a lot in already - so most of us already eat too much!
Salt occurs naturally in most foods anyway. I personally think it would muck your body up a bit if you cut out so many foods in one go. If you do eliminate anything you need to cut down slowly to enable your body to get use to the change in diet. Besides, sugars are carbohydrates and you need them for energy. Oil is a lipid or fat and your body needs some fat in order to insulate, cushion joints and to help lubricate joints in the body. White flour can be substituted by brown or wholegrain flour and this is meant to be healthier, although may not have as much carbohydrate content due to the lower level of starch present
That will make for a pretty bland diet. All of those are fine in moderation. Moderation is the key word here. Four and sugar a source of energy for your body. Have you not heard that fish oil is very beneficial to you? To me food without salt tastes like paper. Yuck.
You body need a balance of lots of different things I consult with my doctor before you do that.
It depends on how old you are and how your medical condition is. Those points should be paid attention before taking any kind of diets. To be safe, get a medical general check up and consult with your doctor.
