Serious Nutrition Advice
Healthy Eating Tips
A balanced diet will contain all the nutrients you need to satisfy your appetite and maintain good health. Some diets, particularly those which avoid major food groups may not provide the nutrients you need for a healthy body.
A truly balanced diet includes
- protein
- carbohydrates
- small amounts of essential fats
How about...
Bread, potatoes and other cereals including pasta, rice, oats and noodles? - Choose whole grain, high fibre varieties whenever possible.
Fruit and vegetables?- 5 portions a day is what they say because they provide us with important vitamins and minerals.
Milk and dairy products? - Rich in protein, vitamins and minerals. Exclude butter and cream or use low fat versions of these foods.
Meat, poultry, fish, eggs, beans? - Good sources of protein. Choose lean cuts of meat and remove the skin from poultry.
High-fat/high-sugar foods spreadable fats, cooking oils, sauces, chocolate? - Apart from anything else these foods provide us with the most calories and the least nutrients. Eat sparingly and look for low fat alternatives.
Supplements? - Use them to assist you in your goals to replace meals or supplement your diet.
Further Tips
- Drink water - dehydration can often be confused with being hungry, have a glass of water and wait a bit before eating
- Eat steamed, grilled or baked foods, rather than fried
- Because we're all different, always seek the advice of professionals regarding the nutritional requirements to suit you.
