low carb diet

A well-healthy diet is one that is balanced. This means eating the right amount of food for how active you are, and eating a range of food from the five main food groups. These are:
. carbohydrates, which contain lots of energy and nutrients and are found in starchy foods, such as bread, pasta and potatoes
. protein, which helps the body to grow and repair itself, is found in meat, fish, beans and eggs
. fruit and vegetables
. milk and dairy foods
. foods that are high in fat and sugar
Carbohydrates should make up about one-third of your daily diet as should fruit and vegetables. Split the rest of your diet between protein and milk and dairy. Only a small amount of what you eat every day should come from foods that are high in fat and sugar.
Healthy eating tips
Eating well is an important part of maintaining good health. The practical tips below cover the basics of healthy eating and can help you make healthier choices:
Base your meals on starchy foods as these give you energy.
Eat lots of fruit and vegetables, at least five portions of different types every day are recommended. For more information, see 5 A DAY: what counts?
Eat at least two portions of fish every week, including one portion of oily fish such as mackerel or sardines. If you’re a vegetarian and don’t eat fish, see Five essential nutrients for vegetarians for more information about eating a healthy vegetarian diet.
Eat less saturated fat and sugar, which are often found in snacks. See Healthy food swaps for healthier choices.
Eat less salt. For tips on how to do this, see Say no to salt.
