Start Eating Healthy with SmartFit
A healthy eating plan provides your body with the nutrients it requires on a daily basis while keeping you within your daily calorie target for weight loss. A healthy eating plan will also reduce your chance of heart disease and other health problems.
A healthy eating plan:
- Emphasizes vegetables, fruits, whole grains, and fat-free or low-fat dairy products
- Includes lean meats, poultry, fish, beans, eggs, and nuts
- Limits saturated and trans fats, sodium, and added sugars
- Controls portion sizes
Most people who want to drop weight must reduce the number of calories they consume from food and beverages (energy IN) while increasing their physical activity (energy OUT).
Benefits
Keeping active and eating a healthy balanced diet can also help you to maintain a healthy weight. Having a good variety of these foods every day leaves less room for foods that are high in fat and sugar – a leading cause of weight gain.
