Binging on healthy food?!
Question: I'm 4'11'' 95 pounds, and I just ate around 3500 calories.
Today I binged on 1,200 grams of sweet potatoes, 5 celery sticks, 1 cup of cauliflowers, and an apple (all after dinner).
My usual binge list is:
-apples
-oranges
-persimmons
-winter squashes
-sweet potatoes
-broccolis
-carrots
I know those stuff I binge on are "healthy" food, but even binging on healthy foods can be unhealthy... right?

Bingeing on low calorie healthy foods containing plenty of fiber and roughage should be OK as you eliminate the excess without gaining weight but there is a possible problem that by overworking the digestive system you may perhaps be wearing yourself out and this may perhaps shorten your lifespan. Of course all that fiber and roughage hopefully is good for your colon health.
Ummm well eat 3500 calories isn't good. But i don't think the food you mention even is near that much calories. I don't know about thee sweet potatoes... but the celery, cauliflower and apple comes up to like 150 calories.
You can overdue anything, but "unhealthy" and "fattening" are two different things, and it sounds like you're mixing the two logically in your head.
Losing (or gaining ) weight, is a simple matter of how many calories you take in, vs how many you burn up.
"Healthy" or "unhealthy" foods is a different thing altogether.
If what you're getting at, is the caloric makeup of those foods, being "healthy", well, you can eat too many calories of "healthy" foods too.
What you need to do, is look up the calories of each of those foods you listed, and simply add them up.
If it's more than what you should be taking in, then you gained weigth.
P.S. 3500 calories = 1 pound of fat.
Yes, even though you are eating healthy food, it is a lot of calories that your body might not be able to burn. So you could gain weight. Plus I think it is called gluttony. If you eat too much, you could start to feel sick.
The food choices are great... if you over binge just make sure its not all the time.
