This is important because different foods make different nutritional contributions. Secondly, fruits, vegetables, grains, and legumes—foods high in complex carbohydrates, fiber, vitamins, and minerals, low in fat, and free of cholesterol—should make up the bulk of the calories you consume....

We’ll tell you how to pinch the right loaf.Ian Cohen Man may not live by bread alone, but he should at least get some dietary value out of it if he’s going to spend time chewing, digesting and evacuating it.

Eating disorders
Written by Christine Webber, psychotherapist and life coach
In 2009, the Royal College of Psychiatrists estimated that eating disorders affect roughly 7 young women in every 1,000, and 1 in every 1,000 young men.
The common eating disorders are:
anorexia (often called ‘anorexia nervosa’)
bulimia (often termed ‘bulimia nervosa’)
binge eating disorder.
But why do they occur?
The reasons are complex, and they are connected with our rather curious and ambivalent attitude to food.

Unfortunately, the results are usually the same....

Nutrition (cont.)
But eliminating this important food group isn't our only carb-related mistake. According to dietician Rachel Brandeis, MS, RD, just as troublesome is the belief that all no-carb or low-carb foods are healthy, or that you can eat them in any amount.
"Much like the low-fat diet craze, where everyone thought that if a meal had no fat, it had no calories, similarly people have come to believe that if it has low carbs you can eat as much as you want and not gain weight," says Brandeis. "And that is simply not true." Eat enough of anything, she says, and you'll gain weight.
