My Personal Diet Story

I’d always known that fruit and vegetables were very important to us and to our bodies, but getting the proportions right was where a lot of people go wrong. Now you may think that having ten pieces of fruit a day along with only a few vegetables would be healthy for us.

Well I know of people who had thought that and I even know a diabetic who would sit down to a bowl of fruit and not think anything of the ten pieces of fruit she had cut for herself but not for anyone else around her.

Personally I always knew that having fruit and vegetables does help with a healthy lifestyle but I never thought of how many pieces of each I was eating. It turned out even though I thought I was eating enough I wasn’t.

What a wake up call I had when I went to a place to help me keep on track once my underactive thyroid had been discovered and was in the process of being treated.

I suddenly realised that to eat four vegetables and three pieces of fruit along with all the other foods that make up the food group pyramid is healthy for you and you certainly do notice the changes that start to happen in your body…
