Yeah .
Unsurprisingly , the movement ’s front an tremendous backlash .

She hopes that by doing so , it will encourage others to see the pointlessness in it too .

As she points out , no one type of food will make you gain free weight . It ’s about form sure you ’re not eating any one food to excess or cut back the foods you care ( which will only make you binge later ) .
