A healthy diet is a balanced diet. It should contain foods from ALL the food groups.
2. Low in Saturated Fat and Low in Refined Sugar

Although we need fat and carbohydrates, we don't need saturated fat or refined sugar. These are causing our diet and weight problems.
3. We Need Good Diet Nutrition

GOOD CARBS
Whether we are 10 pounds or 100 pounds overweight, we need a nutritious diet rich in vitamins, minerals and fiber. Good carbs, like vegetables, fruit, potatoes, whole wheat bread, pasta, rice, oats, beans, soy and whole grain cereals, provide good nutrition. Vegetables and fruit, in particular, contain a range of phytochemicals, enzymes and other micronutrients that are essential for efficient metabolism and a healthy diet.

GOOD FATS (But in reduced amounts)
These should come mainly from monounsaturated or polyunsaturated food sources, rather than animal fats. However, since fat contains more than twice the calories of other foods, it should be eaten in reduced quantities if you want to lose weight. When eating animal foods, choose lean lower fat foods.

GOOD FOOD SHOPPING AND COOKING HABITS
We need to learn good shopping and cooking habits. Otherwise, how will we learn to eat healthily?

* We eat too much saturated fat. (eg. in fried or fast-food)
* We eat too much refined sugar. (eg. in regular soft drinks and processed foods)
* We eat too many white-flour foods (eg. in breads and bread snacks)
* We eat too little fiber. (eg. by eating too few fruits, vegetables and too much refined food)

In addition, our diet is heavily influenced by fast-food or quick-serve menus.

Nearly 50 cents of every dollar spent on food in America is spent in restaurants fast-food or quick-serve restaurants or on take-outs.

Result? Obesity is becoming a major problem throughout the USA and the developed world.

* 1 in every 2 Americans is estimated to be overweight
* 1 in every 3 Americans is estimated to be obese
* 40 per cent of UK adults are overweight
* 18 per cent of UK adults are obese.

The Atkins Diet is probably the most well known low-carb / high-protein diet. It first appeared back in the early 70’s. The Atkins Diet claims you can eat all the protein and fat that you care to and still lose weight. You just need to cut out the carbohydrates to become thin. It's all explained in: Dr Atkins New Diet Revolution, by Dr Robert C. Atkins.

Give the vegetables cool names

In a recent study funded by the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation, children ate twice as many carrots when they were called "X-Ray Vision Carrots" compared to when the vegetable was introduced as just carrots. Researchers say having a creative name for food makes it more fun for kids and then they continue to eating more, even though parents would stop using the names.

Trying "sneaking in" vegetables

Some parents would try to fool their children into eating vegetables by adding purees to spaghetti sauce, meatloaf, or other dishes where they least expected. Instead of feeling guilty that you are "lying" to your kids by not telling them about the dish's vegetable content, rather think of it as cooking for dishes that are a little healthier

However, some parents believe that you have to tell your children that you have included hidden vegetables in your food so the children will be aware about making better food choices when they grow up.

Set yourself as an example

If you want your child to eat vegetables, you need to be a veggie eater yourself. Snack on some carrots or cook vegetable stir-fry for dinner.

Maybe you should have a 'general vitamin' alongside or in addition to your alphabet vitamin subforums. You may find that people do not know which vitamin to take and having a general forum would encourage them to ask more questions. As it is now, you're forcing people to choose a category and they may not like to as there is a chance they will choose incorrectly.]]>
