WHY YOUR HEALTHY DIET ISN’T

Once upon a time, eating was simple. You plucked food from trees or
hunted it in the wild. You ate when you were hungry and stopped when you
were full. Now, due to improvod cfficicncy in food production, food comes in
boxes and cans, with complicated labels and misleading names. Not
surprisingly, the kinds of people who consider themselves healthy eaters
have multiplied as well. There are vegetarians who abstain from animal
protein but eat few vegetables, and snackers who nibble non-stop to keep
their energy up. The problem is that many people become so obsessed with
extremes that they no longer appreciate, or enjoy, food for the good things it
provides (including Aavour). T his can lead to poor nutrition. With the help
of food and nutrition expert Dr Elaine Turner, we look at three people’s diets
and offer some easy, practical suggestions to help them get the most out of
their meals.

First up is Diana Collins, 19, a university student who wants to lose
weight, it might not be very scientiíĩc,” she says, “but I have this idea that if
I don’t want to be fat, I shouldn’t eat fat.” She’s on a low-fat diet and most of
what she eats consists of non-fat food like pasta, cereal bars and fat-free
crisps. Because she never feels full, she’s constantly eating - and consuming
far more calories than she needs. “This diet is quite old-fashioned,” says Dr
Turner. “Some fats are beneficial, likc nuts and olive oil, and Staples like
pasta contain lots of calories. Diana should add more fat and protein early in
the day. A good breakíast of scrambled eggs and mushrooms will mean that
she eats less during the rest of the day. She should also use olive oil as a
salad dressing.”

Our second subject is Gos Ilussain. Gos is sixteen and has chosen to be a
vegetarian because of his concern for animal rights. IIowever, some people
aren’t so much vegetarians as they are food avoiders. Gos survives on cheese
pizza, pasta, and sweets. “We’ve got nothing against a meatless diet, as long
ais it’s approached properly, but some vegetarians simply don’t eat enough
vegetables, not to mention fruit and protein,” Dr Turner says. She advises
Gos to fill his plate with food in a variety of colours, a quick and simple way
to ensure that you get your daily requirement of important vitamins and
other healthy substances. “Gos is still growing so what he eats is even more
important. He should go for toppings like spinach and peppers rather than
cheese alone, and cut down on the amount of cheese generally.”
