The basic steps to good nutrition come from a diet that:
-helps you either lose weight or keeps your Body Mass Index in the "healthy" range.
-is balanced overall,with foods from all food groups,with lots of delicious fruits, vegetables,grains,and fat-free or low-fat milk and milk products.
-is low in saturated fat,trans fat,and cholesterol.Keep total fat intake between 20 to 35 percent of calories,with most fats coming from sources of polyunsaturated and monounsaturated fatty acids, such as fish, nuts, and vegetable oils.
-includes a variety of fibrous food for a proper bowel movement.
-includes a variety of fruits and vegetables.
-has a small number of calories from added sugars (like in candy,cookies,and cakes).
-has foods prepared with less sodium or salt.Dont forget,salt is a poison and it affects you later in your life.
-does not include more than one alcoholic drink per day.
