50 to 55% of your diet should be carbohy drates. It is a myth that you should try and avoid carbo hydrates when you are on a diet. Rather the other way round I should say . Carbohy drates are a ready source of energy and so 50 to 55% of your diet should be carbohydrates.
32.
25 to 30% of your diet should be proteins. Various processes and activities are going on in our bodies. Things are broken down and being built up again. Resistance has to be built up, recove ry from disease too is needed and for al this the body needs plent y of proteins so see to it that 25 to 30 % of y our diet consists of proteins.
33.
Fats should on ly be 15 to 20 %. You need onl y this much of fat in your diet so keep it at that.
34.
Try and adopt a vegetarian diet. A vegetarian diet is undoubtedly beter for those of us watching our diet. There are a lot of advantag es of keep ing to a veg etarian diet but I don't want to sing an ode to veg etarianism now. What I would suggest is keep to a vegetarian diet as much as you can. Make a non- veg etarian diet a week end event or somethi ng if you find it i mpossible to give up eating al those animals.

Choose white meat rather than red. White mea t, which includes fish and fow l, is miles beter than red meat, which includes beef and p ork for those tr yi ng to lose weig ht.

Hi gh Fiber multi grain breads are beter than white breads. Remember how I told you to increase the fiber content in y our food; wel this is the answer to that. It is not on ly beter in terms of the fiber content but also in terms of the protein content as wel.
37.
Reduce your intake of pork. Pork is not something that can hel p you to lose we ig ht. So the lesser p ork you eat the beter chances you have of losing wei ght. And remember that p ork includes the p ork p roducts as wel , things like bacon, ham and sausages.
38.
Limit your s ug ar intake. If you can't have thing s unsweetened go for sug ar substitutes. These thing s are just as sweetening but are certainly not fatening.
39.
Graze 5 to 6 times a da y. Instead of stickin g to just three meals a d ay, try grazi ng . Grazin g means try havi ng 5 or 6 smaler meals instead of three kin g sized meals. It is an excelent way of having smaler quantities of food.
40.
Go ahead eat cheat foo d, but onl y for flavor. There are ma ny thin gs which you have to avoid from your diet but which you may have an un dy in g cravi ng for. Do not avoid them alt ogether. You could cal them cheat foods and
indul ge in them once in a while. But take care just to ti ngle your taste bud s, don't hog on them. Instead of that share them with others. In this way
