The food pyramid gives us a basic model to follow, to make sure our diet is made up of the right foods to provide us with the nutrition we need to live healthily.
Treats such as chocolate, fast food, biscuits, sweets and cakes should be eaten rarely, once a day at most.
No more than 2 servings a day of meat, fish, poultry and alternatives.
Around 3 servings of dairy produce such as milk, cheese and yoghurt (choose low fat varieties if dieting)
At least 5 portions of fruit, vegetables and salad. These can be fresh, or dried, tinned, frozen or juice.
6 or more times daily, bread, potatoes and cereals make up the bulk of a healthy diet.
For the time being, please imagine a pretty pyramid.
i am on a diet trying to lose 21 pound i have been doing aerobics 3 times a week but i am unsure how many carbs i can have can u help me please thanks.
Be careful generally but for the most part try to avoid mainly refined carbs such as added sugar, white flour and refined cereals, especially if also high in fats. Whole natural complex carbs can be eaten more although still take care not to overdo it whilst at the same time watch your fat intake especially of saturated fats.
