  4. Health and nutrition go hand in hand and it is advisable to understand what is actually healthy. Just because a restaurant gives you "Healthy Meals" doesn't mean they are healthy options, just healthier in comparison to the normal menu.

    Planning and knowledge is the best way to determine how to target healthy food for a healthy lifestyle.
    Most people who opt to diet, build muscle or just decide to get healthier fail before they start. Without careful planning and understanding, there is no right or wrong, good or bad, false hope and expectation. We all need a plan in life to succeed. Plan before action. Plan during action. Plan following action. All three are important.
  5. How to target healthy food with planning.

    Contrary to what you have been taught, it is not about taking chips off your menu or chocolate or pizza ...... You can and should be able to eat what you want. Everything in moderation is the key. Just by understanding the benefits of a good health and nutrition program, you can protect yourself against diseases and feel great packed with lots of energy.

    Foods are to be enjoyed and savoured. There are no "naughty foods" or "good foods".
    Planning meals is what determines whether the meal will be healthy or not
    Forget the fad diets! Target healthy food to eat and be healthy!
  6. IMPORTANT!!! For health and nutrition

    One third of your diet should be packed with fruits and vegetables. Aim for five portions per day.
    One third of your diet should be starchy foods such as breads, cereals, potatoes, pasta and rice. Aim for 2 to 3 portions per day.

    The final third should be split into three parts. 2 to 3 serves of milk and dairy per day, 2 to 3 serves of meat or fish per day and very small amounts of foods containing fats and sugars.

    As a very rough estimate, men should consume 11,500 kj per day and women 7,800 kj per day. Everybody is unique and all have different body shapes and varying degrees of activity so don't take these figures as gospel. 140kj per 1kg weight is the average recommendation.
