The definition of a healthy well balanced diet?

Question

I read about every fitness magazine around and hear millions of different ways to diet. There are magic pills that do it for you or candy bars with a zillion calories in them to make you not hungry. Bull. There is only one way to loose weight and that is to eat right and excersise and that is what I want to do. The only problem is, is that I don't know what the perfect day of eating looks like to loose weight. How many carbs are too many in one sitting? Do you snack on carbs in between meals? If you are excersising isn't it good to be snacking on carbs? But then I hear carbs are the devil. Can someone help me???

Answer 1

A healthy, well balanced meal consists of a wide variety (colorful) of fruits and vegetables.

Snacking on fruit is fine.

Carbs are the devil for people on low carb diets. Fruit has complex carbohydrates, which gives you longer lasting energy.

Lean meats and whole grains are also good to eat, due to the protein and fiber.

Instead of white rice, make spelt or whole wheat couscous.
Instead of the energy bar, eat an apple or banana.
Instead of the fried chicken, eat baked salmon.
Instead of salad dressing, cover your salad with fresh herbs for more flavor.
When you make your salads, be creative and use fruit and nuts along with the vegetables.
