How much you eat is more important than what you eat

You can eat everything when you’re on a diet, as long as it’s in moderation. But most people fail to realize that. Keeping a food diary where you can track quantity intake is one way to ensure portion control.

Don’t quit carbs

There’s a lot of debate over whether carbs are bad for you, but the bottom line is that some amount of carbs is essential to a diet. Carbs in fiber-rich whole grains are a good source of energy; they also control your blood sugar and keep you feeling full.

Spice up your meals

Herbs and masalas boost metabolism, balance blood sugar and, most importantly, have no calories or sodium—just flavour.

Skip those snacks in front of the TV

You may think it’s okay because the snack is low-cal or healthy, but spontaneous daily snacking can take your daily calorie consumption up by 25%, according to researchers. Popcorn or peanuts, it’s all adding up.

Read the labels

When you’re out grocery shopping, make sure you know what you’re buying. Skip the nutritional facts on the packaged goods box, and look at the ingredient list instead.Remember, the longer the ingredient list, the more processed a food is.

The link between good nutrition and healthy weight, reduced chronic disease risk, and overall health is too important to ignore. By taking steps to eat healthy, you'll be on your way to getting the nutrients your body needs to stay healthy, active, and strong. As with physical activity, making small changes in your diet can go a long way, and it's easier than you think!

Healthy diets and physical activity are key to good nutrition and necessary for a long and healthy life. Eating nutrient dense foods and balancing energy intake with the necessary physical activity to maintain a healthy weight is essential at all stages of life. Unbalanced consumption of foods high in energy (sugar, starch and/or fat) and low in essential nutrients contributes to energy excess, overweight and obesity. The amount of the energy consumed in relation to physical activity and the quality of food are key determinants of nutrition related chronic disease.
