I've already told the story about my bulimic high school friend. However, I knew a lot of other girls who tried every possible "diet" just to shed a few extra pounds. These diets consisted of skipping meals, counting calories and eliminating entire food groups. All of these so-called diets are extremely unhealthy. Our bodies require a certain amount and type of food per day in order to sustain itself. By skipping certain foods or fasting, we are slowing down our metabolism. This is what makes our bodies grow and helps us burn fat quickly.
Our bodies need 4-5 servings of dairy products a day. This includes milk, cheese, and yogurt. We also need 6-11 servings of grain products, such as bread, pasta and rice. We require 4 servings of vegetables a day, and approximately 2-4 servings of fruit. 3-4 servings of meat or alternatives are required. This includes poultry, eggs, and beans.
No,meat,no dairy ,no eggs,no fish!
