Are We... What We Eat? by Marcelle Ventura

group is very important. 2 to 3 servings per day are

required.

In addition to the food pyramid, it was discovered by

doctors and scientist that fats, sweets and oils are an

important ingredient of a healthy diet. This is mentioned

although it is separate from the pyramid. The food we

eat normally contains the required fats so we need not

add additional fatty or sweet food. This food can be

delicious but we always try to avoid an excess of this

type of fatty or sweet food.

If you are referring to a weight-loss diet, you are talking

about changing or restricting your diet somehow to reduce

calories, fat or other to lose weight. No diet should be

used without talking to your doctor first. There are many

diets on the market and medications to help people diet. The

problem with dieting when not under a doctor~s care is that

you may be loosing nutrients your body needs to stay

healthy. You may be trying to lose weight because you are

overweight or obese, but can be doing more harm by

restricting vitamins and minerals that your body needs.

Remember, if you are in doubt as to what your body needs,

please consult your doctor.
