    In order to stay fit and healthy its very important to eat balanced meals. Everyday you should eat fresh fruits and vegetables, whole grains, lean meats, lots of water, lemon etc.

    1) Vegetables are generally very low in calories, very high in fiber, and full of flavor and nutrition:smile: , but avoid fatty dressings :noway: or dips.:grumble:
    2) Fruit provides a good source of soluble fiber:smile: , releasing energy more slowly and keeping you feeling full longer.
    3) Whole grain products like brown rice, quinoa, and wheat berries, will help you maintain a lower weight, reduce your risk of stroke, and lessen your risk of heart disease.:grumble:
    4) Low-fat dairy products:noway: , such as yogurt or cheddar cheese, are good sources of vitamin D and can make your bones strong.:grumble:
    5) Lean meats like poultry and fish are naturally low in fat:grumble: , and certain fish like salmon, sardines, and fresh tuna are an excellent sources of antioxidants and Omega-3 fatty acids:smile: , which are beneficial to your health.
    6) Drinking lemon and green tea is also very useful to reduce weight.:noway:


    D+ - not a bad effort.

    I really need some fat. If I don't get enough fat in the morning I turn into a shakey basket case at 10:00. My preferred fat is walnuts added to my oatmeal. Eat at a deficit, eat heathy food and exercise. Do that and the rest will take care of itself.

    Good suggestions for a healthier diet, but I too disagree with "low fat dairy".

    See...if we "cut" him "slack," then other noobs are going to think that his bad advice is correct...and that does nobody any good.

    I've never eaten rabbit.
    Not an amazing meat, but tasty enough if cooked right.

    And yes, I was going to be sceptical, but all are things that CAN help people stick to a deficit.

    I would caution against cheese however - personally the only two I can really have are either Weight watchers Mature cheddar (30g protein, 10g fat for 214 calories - very good protein/calorie ratio for something that's not lean meat) or light mozzarella (20g protein, 9g fat for 167 calories) which is better on pizza. Other 'low fat' cheese can be more like 300 calories for 30g protein, which is starting to push it too much for me.

    Edit: actually, I re-read it. Lemon and Green tea? Citation, please. I find it easy to eat LOADS of fruit if I'm not careful. Whole grain products often don't taste as nice. Also if you're otherwise fit and healthy, likely have little real impact.

    I manage to stay 'fit and healthy' often eating far from 'balanced meals'. Further, a lot fitter and healthier than many that do.
    How? I get out and do exercise - which makes a much bigger difference to fitness :).
