Committing to an exercise programme is a great start and without making any
changes to what you eat and drink, significant weight loss, an improvement
in general well being and a reduced risk of illnesses such as heart disease
and cancer can be achieved. Combining exercise with positive changes in your
diet, will both increase the speed of change and make long term results
greater. |

A healthy diet should include a variety of foods to provide the body with
the vitamins and minerals it needs. The food we eat can be separated into
five simple groups, the first four listed below should be consumed on a
daily basis;
1) Bread, Cereals, Potatoes, Rice, Pasta, etc
2) Fruit and Vegetables
3) Milk and dairy products
4) Meat and Fish
The fifth category however is the one we need to cut down and unfortunately
for many of us, it’s the one that contains many of our favourite foods,
namely
5) Foods high in Fat, Sugar and Salt
The consolation though comes in the phrase ‘cut down’, it’s important to
remember that no foods need ruling out completely, provided they’re only
eaten in moderation.
