Your diet

Complete the text with the following words:

 balanced, carbohydrates, healthy, overweight, unhealthy, calories, fast,
lose, put, vegetarians .

What you eat is very important for your health. Many people today have
an ___________diet. They eat too much _______food (especially take-away
food) and processed food (tinned or frozen). A healthy, _________diet should
include proteins, ______________ fats, and fresh fruit and vegetables. You
should control the amount of fat and carbohydrates you eat if you don't want
to _____________on weight. If you are ___________you can go on a diet
to ______________weight, for example avoiding food with too
many __________Many people today are ____________and don't eat any
meat. This is a _____________diet if you make sure you eat enough protein
from pulses (beans, etc.), eggs and cheese.
 

 
 
 

 
 
 
 

It's important for people to eat as much as they need to give them energy. If they eat too little
food or the wrong food they won't have enough energy. If they eat too much, they will need to
make more exercise; otherwise they will put on weight. When we eat the correct quantity of
food for the exercise we take, we call this the energy balance.

Fat is very high in calories, and so is no help at all in keeping energy balance. Fat has also
been linked with heart disease, and many experts believe that eating less would help to reduce
it.
 Sugar isn't good for the energy balance either. The only value of the diet is to provide
energy, and you can get that from other foods. There's no doubt that too much sugar makes
you fat and it doesn't do your teeth much good either.

Fibre, on the other hand is something that we eat too little of. One of the simplest ways of
eating more fibre is to eat more bread, particularly whole meal, granary, or high fibre bread
.It's a good, cheap source of fibre and nutrients without too many calories .Potatoes are good,
too. Like bread, they are underrated, but they're excellent for filling you up without making
you fat, especially if you don't cover them with butter or fry them in fat.

Comprehension.
So eat less fatty food (sweets, chocolate, cakes pudding, jam) and eat more fibre foods
(bread, potatoes, pasta, fresh fruit and vegetables).
