Text 3 . Diets.
Your diet is made up of what you eat. There are many different types of diets. A healthy diet:
Emphasizes fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and fat-free or low-fat milk and milk products.
May include lean meats, poultry, fish, beans, eggs and nuts.
Is low in saturated fats, trans fat, cholesterol, salt (sodium), and added sugars.
There are many different types of diets. Some, like a vegetarian diet, don’t include meats. Others, like the Mediterranean diet, describe a pattern of eating with an emphasis on less saturated fat than most Americans eat.
Many people follow specific diets to lose weight. Some of their diets are fad or crash diets that severely restrict calories or types of food you are allowed to eat.
For a balanced diet, you need the right types and amounts of foods and drinks. This keeps your body healthy.
Know how many calories your body needs every day. Know what size portions your body needs. A balanced diet also includes avoiding too much of some foods and not enough of others.
Stock up on healthy foods. Avoid foods like chips and candy. They are high in calories. They also don’t have much nutrition. Eat healthy snacks instead.
Choose different healthy food from each food group. Eat foods from each group with every meal. Protein (meats and beans).
Good sources of protein include turkey or chicken with the skin removed. Bison (buffalo meat) is also good.
Eat lean cuts of beef or pork. Trim away any visible fat.
Eat plenty of fish or shellfish.
Other good sources of protein are pinto beans, black beans, kidney beans, lentils, split peas, or garbanzo beans.
Nuts and seeds are part of a balanced diet. You can also eat tofu, tempeh, and other soy products.
Do not eat more than 4 eggs per week. Eggs are a good source of protein and low in saturated fat. But they are very high in cholesterol. Try recipes with egg whites only.

What is a healthy diet?
Dairy products contain a lot of protein and calcium as well as a lot of vitamins. Choose not-fat or low-fat dairy nutrition without the saturated fat. Yogurt is a great replacement for ice-cream.
Thing like potato chips, cookies, candies, crackers and fried foods contain a lot of fat, sugar and cholesterol. Too much cholesterol can cod up your arteries and make it hard for your heart to pump blood.
It’s good to stay away from fast-food restaurants that serve hamburgers and other fatty foods. There is no single perfect food, so eating a variety of different foods and watching portion sizes is the key to a healthy diet.
