What is a Healthy Diet

I need to eat more healthy if I expect to lose weight but what do you consider a healthy diet? Should I try Atkins or just stick to a low fat diet. What foods should I eat and how many calories should I eat.

Dear Sharon,

You can pick a nutritionally balanced low carb diet or a sensible low fat diet plan. We suggest low fat diets because they are easier to maintain. A healthy diet should always include at least 5 servings of fruits and vegetables.

It's important that you eat small meals every 3 to 4 hours so that you don't get too hungry between meals and you keep your energy level high.

Maintaining a low carb diet can be difficult but you can reduce bad carbs by avoiding junk food. To lose 1 to 2 pounds per week, stay between 1200 and 1400 calories each day. Men should stay between 1500 and 2000 calories. If possible, exercise 20 to 30 minutes, 5 times per week. Fast pace walking or stationary biking in front of the TV makes an excellent fat burning exercise.

The value of maintaining a healthy diet is that you will lose weight and build-up your immune system which will help fight diseases. A healthy diet also keeps your energy level high so that you're not as  tempted to eat junk food or binge.
