what are peoples views on safe foods?

i think that, even though it's an aim to eat healthily, it turns into a really unbalanced diet and therefore does more harm than good...
it's just too easy to get out of control with it, even though it feels 'safe' at the time..

I used to have a list of safe foods when I was bulimic, they were the foods that were safe and I wouldn't have to purge. They included things like oragnes, pomegranates, jell-o, and a few others. Not sure if this is what you mean though. Maybe clarify the question?

sorry, yeh that's what i mean
basically a list of foods that you limit yourself to, and you can't eat anything else. a lot of people with eating disorders limit what they eat so they can control their weight more easily.
things which are low in calories or ones that fill you up even if you haven't eaten much... that sort of thing.
but so many people go over the top and ban food groups like carbohydrates and sugars, which are common in a lot of foods anyway so they have to restrict to only a very small number of foods which can be really unhealthy anyway, even though most of them do it because they think it's healthier for them.

if that makes sense...?

We are what we eat.

I say to those who limit themselves, have a bit of everything.
Even a Big Mac once a year or once every two years, but just enjoy a bit of everything. Healthy foods, less healthy ones but still include them and enjoy eating.
Life is such a paing in the ass sometimes.
If we put full limits on one of the few pleasures in life such as food, what have we got left?
We can't smoke in public places.
What's next, no more drinking booze?

Let's enjoy a wide variety of food for our own good.
There.
I'm even coming up with a new food movement slogan, the movement that says "the hell with Atkin's diet, Cabbage soup diet, Gi Diet, IV diet and I give up!"

Eating small portions of a variety of foods, fresh and non-fresh, is key to losing weight.
Along with burning calories hence excercising goes hand in hand with the above.

-trigger warning-

Yeah. Once I ate about 10 oranges in one go and felt disgusting after, and so purged it back up again. It was all acidic and disgusting because it'd been in my stomach and it was citrus. Not the smartest thing I have done.

i suppose that would have been because you felt too full/really bloated to the point of sickness though? am i right? ...rather than feeling like you're unbelievably fat all the time and never wanting to eat but knowing you have to so you pick certain foods that you can eat quite a lot of if you feel you are going to overindulge on them...

Vegetables. Lots of them. Relatively low in calories, quite high in nutrients; you could be eating better than the general populace with an ED.

My safe foods are fruits and veggies, and fat free stuff/ sugar free stuff. Pretty much anything with very few calories. Most other stuff I throw up unless it's a very small portion.
