A Healthy Eating Lifestyle
A healthy lifestyle is just that – an ongoing commitment to good eating habits.
There are thousands of suggestions and advice tips to follow. But the key things to remember are the following:
- Carbohydrates should make up 50% of your diet.
Low carb diets pose long-term health hazards. It's important, according to the American Diabetes Association, to have 50% of your food intake consist of carbs, such as fruit, vegetables, legumes, whole grains and low fat dairy products. To control your blood sugar, remember that you should try to adhere to the same carbohydrate intake.
- Keep fat intake to 7% or less of your diet.
In particular, saturated fats (such as butter, margarine, shortening) should be highly restricted. Instead, replace them with monounsaturated fats (olive oil, canola oil) that are good for you. Or, polyunsaturated fat sources (nuts, seeds).
- Control Dietary Cholesterol.
High cholesterol foods (such as egg yolks, organ meat, whole milk) should be avoided. Instead, use lean meat (turkey), egg substitutes and low fat milk and dairy products.
