Hiya! For the past few months ive started to eat helthily by cutting down on the suger,fast foods (KFC Mcdonalds etc.), chocolates and cakes and i eat my 3 meals a day without eating anything inbetween. Some of my friends and family have noticed what i have been doing and keep telling other people or me that im dieting when im only trying to eat healthily.
So the point that i'm trying to say is that is this eating healthily or is it dieting?

You answered your own question in the first line. You state "i've started to eat healthily." But anyway, what I really mean to say is that if you are making lifestyle changes and plan to keep this up, then it is healthy eating. If you are only doing this for a week or 2 so you can diet, then it's a diet. One thing I would advise; however, is that you do snack on something between your meals. Just have a yogurt, some carrots, an apple, whatever - your body reacts better to 5 or 6 small meals a day than to 3, being so spread out.

I am doing the same thing (except eating 3 meals with 2 snacks because I think that's the better way to go!) and I say I'm eating healthy. Diet to me screams deprivation! I've tried "diets" before and I always felt deprived and ended up binging.
Way to go on your healthy eating!

Everyone has a diet - they just may not be conscious of it.
Gently correct them to say that you are merely trying to eat healthily, not trying to lose weight. For most people, though, doing what you are doing would be dieting to lose weight.
Congrats! I'm sure you are feeling healthier by eating healthier!

Your probably doing a little bit of both. If you are doing this too loose weight then in a sense, your dieting, but because your doing it the right, you are eating healthy at the same time.

I diet is just controlling what you eat, which eating healthily is. Unfortunately alot people think diet means weightloss.
